As per Daily Mail, Swift's friend and actress, Blake Lively, has still not reached out to the singer to congratulate her after the duo had a falling out over the actress's legal drama with her co-star Justin Baldoni.

Blake Lively has no intention to congratulate Taylor Swift

A source told the publication, “Blake didn’t reach out and isn’t going to.” They further said that the It Ends With Us star has “bigger fish to fry,” talking about her ongoing lawsuit. The insider also claimed that Lively is not bothered by Swift and knows she won't be invited to the wedding as well.

They said, “This is something that we would’ve talked about in the past, like what was going to happen, if she was going to be in the wedding, what that would look like.” The source added, “There’s no ‘will she or won’t she’ about Blake being in the wedding, because she just won’t. She knows that, and I don’t think she particularly wants to talk about that.”

Their bond reportedly faltered when Lively became involved in a high-profile legal battle with director Justin Baldoni. Lively accused him of harassment on the set of It Ends With Us, which led to a countersuit and briefly involved Swift in legal paperwork. Although Swift’s subpoena was dropped, their friendship fell apart.

It further read, “Because my dragons also protect those I fight for. So really we all benefit from those gorgeous monsters of mine. [Smiley-face emoji] you will too, I can promise you.”
