Amid reports of a feud between Blake Lively and Taylor Swift, the Gossip girl actor did something unexpected in October 2025, which many saw as part of her efforts to reconcile with the pop star.
The story goes that Blake Lively was among those who responded to the 35-year-old’s Oct. 3 Instagram post celebrating the release of her album “The Life of Showgirl,” tapping the like button to show her love.
This was unexpected because she had ignored many Instagram posts shared by Taylor Swift, including the post announcing her engagement to Travis Kelce.
It was her first like on one of Taylor Swift’s Instagram posts in a long time, or at least since it was reported that they were no longer friends.
However, it appears her attempts to mend ties have failed as Blake Lively hasn’t liked Taylor’s posts since October.
The singer has shared at least three Instagram posts linked to her docuseries “The End of an Era” since Oct. 3.
The feud between Taylor Swift and Blake Lively started after the singer was dragged into the… Gossip girl legal battle between actor and Justin Baldoni.
In her lawsuit, Lively accused her It Ends With Us co-star Baldoni of sexual harassment and waging a smear campaign against her.
When Baldoni filed a countersuit against Lively, his legal team made allegations that thrust Swift into the spotlight.
Lively was accused by Baldoni’s lawyers of inappropriately taking advantage of her friendship with Swift during the production of It ends with us.
Swift was initially subpoenaed in the case, although Baldoni’s team later withdrew this request.
Citing unnamed sources, People.com reported in June that “Swift and Lively are not as close and have not spent as much time together as they have in the past.”
An insider told media earlier this year that “Taylor is working on trusting Blake again, but it will take some time.”
