Taylor Swift‘s engagement to Travis Kelce had friends and fans buzzing with congratulations — but one former A-lister notably stayed silent.

The 35-year-old pop superstar shared the exciting news on Instagram Tuesday, posting a series of pictures from their engagement photoshoot capturing the Kansas City Chiefs star, also 35, getting down on one knee.

But Blake Lively was absent from the list of likes, continuing a rocky chapter in her friendship with the Shake It Off singer.

The tension between the former friends blew up after Swift’s name got dragged into Lively’s 2024 legal battle with Justin Baldoni — his lawyers claimed Lively tried to ‘coerce’ Swift into a public statement and delete texts — and even though a subpoena was later dropped, the drama clearly left its mark.

Now, that sting seems to linger, as Blake remains noticeably absent from celebrating Swift’s happy news.

Zuri Hall, the TV personality, also gave a like—but both she and Travis Kelce have shot down any rumors of a past romance.

The snub comes after Swift has reportedly cut off communication with Lively as she gears up to release a new album fans believe contains a diss track aimed at the actress.

On Aug. 13, Swift announced her upcoming album The Life of a Showgirl, which will include a track titled Ruin the Friendship — a song rumored to be about her relationship with Lively, 37.

A source close to the situation tells People, ‘Taylor and Blake aren’t speaking.’

The pair weren’t always at odds — their friendship stretches back to 2014 and was once famously tight.

Swift, who serves as godmother to Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ daughters, even wove the family into her music.

Lively and Reynolds’ daughter James has a voice cameo on Swift’s Reputation track Gorgeous.

All three girls — James, Inez, and Betty — are also name-dropped in Folklore, showing just how closely their lives were once intertwined.

With the Baldoni drama heating up and Swift gearing up to release her new album, however, fans are losing it over what’s really going on between the two stars — especially after the reveal of the track Ruin the Friendship.

Online chatter exploded, with users speculating whether the song takes aim at her former best friend and the rumored fallout.

Swift has long blurred the line between truth and storytelling, so fans should brace for something more cinematic than factual.

Swift, however, essentially shut down the rumors.

She explained on New Heights with boyfriend Travis Kelce that she worked on the album while ‘in Europe for the Eras Tour,’ long before any drama with the Gossip Girl star arose.

Swift, whose hit song ‘My Tears Ricochet’ was featured on the soundtrack of the 2024 film It Ends With Us, was pulled into the rollercoaster saga earlier this year when Baldoni filed a $400million countersuit accusing Lively and her husband Ryan of defamation.

Explosive text messages from Baldoni’s complaint revealed Lively had referred to the superstar singer and her husband, as ‘my dragons’ in an alleged bid to intimidate him over their ill-fated flick It Ends With Us.

Baldoni also claimed that Swift was present at a pivotal meeting about the movie, held by Lively and Reynolds at their New York penthouse.

For her part, a source close to Swift has said she simply arrived to find the meeting underway and had no involvement.

In January, an insider told Daily Mail: ‘Her friends also think that Blake’s ‘I’m Khaleesi, and like her, I happen to have dragons’ text to Justin was uncool and unnecessary because she was essentially used as an intimidation tactic. She was referred to as some kind of pet or possession.’

Since then, Swift has reportedly been trying to distance herself from the scandal as well as her friendship with Lively.

Those efforts have included icing Lively out of her inner circle while boyfriend Travis Kelce has unfollowed Reynolds on Instagram.

The revelation marks yet another bombshell twist in a case that has dragged in multiple A-listers and resulted in some legal zingers – among them Lively’s dragon claim.

The mom-of-four has also been accused of failing to read the novel on which the movie is based until well after filming started and forcing Baldoni and his family to sit in the basement during the premiere due to her refusal to be in the same room as him.

On top of that, some of her allegations have begun to look dubious such as the claim that Baldoni had nuzzled her neck and told her ‘you smell so good’ during a dancing scene.

The film at the heart of the feud, based on the 2016 bestseller by Colleen Hoover, was released in August and was a box office hit

Although she claimed it had been filmed with microphones off, Daily Mail obtained raw footage that showed the sound was on and that the conversation had instead been about the scent of Lively’s fake tan.

Attention has now turned to who else could be subpoenaed in the case, with Reynolds odds-on to have his communications scrutinized by Baldoni’s team.

Speculation arose around Swift and Reynolds’ friend Hugh Jackman with reports saying that they too are facing a legal grilling.
