Blake Lively’s fury after Taylor Swift left her off wedding guest list… as sources say it’s the final straw

Blake Lively’s unbearable feeling of ‘hurt’ was revealed after she was removed from her former confidant Taylor Swift’s wedding list.

The two women were once thick as thieves, so close that Lively named Swift godmother to all three of her daughters, whom she shares with husband Ryan Reynolds.

But what once seemed like an unbreakable bond was torpedoed when Swift was dragged into Lively’s embarrassing legal battle with Justin Baldoni.

This Friday, Swift and her son-in-law, Travis Kelce, welcomed a celebrity entourage to their wedding at Madison Square Garden, which was officiated by Adam Sandler and featured performances by Stevie Nicks, Paul McCartney, and the bride.

Now a source has exclusively told the Daily Mail about Lively’s anger over the rejection, which suggests she and Swift have a chance to patch things up in the future.

Lively is upset and a little upset. “No, I’m too angry,” the insider said. ‘This friendship has ended before, but if there was any hope, it’s gone too. They’ll never be friends again.’

The Daily Mail has contacted representatives for Lively and Swift for comment.

The source stated that the Gossip Girl star ‘wants to go.’ ‘It feels bad to be excluded like this. He still hoped that their background would be enough to include them, but it didn’t work out that way.’

A host of stars flocked to the wedding, where a fairy-tale castle inspired by Swift’s Love Story music video was erected at Madison Square Garden.

Road closures around the venue threw Manhattan traffic into chaos and blocked exits from Penn Station as New Yorkers tried to leave the city ahead of the Fourth of July weekend.

Several of Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs teammates were on hand for the spectacular, including Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper, as well as Selena Gomez, Lena Dunham, Hugh Grant, Steven Spielberg, Jay-Z, Beyonce, Tom Brady, Jessica Chastain, Ed Sheeran, The Chainsmokers, Chris Rock, Jessica Alba, Danny Ramirez, Paul Mescal, Gracie Abrams, and Patrick Mahomes.

Even Karlie Kloss, who has long been rumored to have fallen out with Swift, managed to get an invitation along with her husband Joshua Kushner.

Not So Lively, seen hundreds of miles from Madison Square Garden on Thursday, the day a smaller event was held at Madison Square Garden.

A dressed-up Lively was a far cry from the glamor of Swift’s events; She was cutting a casual figure in a navy blue tank top and denim shorts at her daughter’s event.

Her blonde hair was tied up in a haphazard bun secured with a claw clip. Reynolds, meanwhile, was wearing a white T-shirt, tan hat and khaki pants.

Lively and Reynolds’ New York apartment was spotted on Thursday, the day of Swift’s wedding celebrations.

‘There are more than 20,000 people in Madison Square Garden. A source previously told the Daily Mail: If Blake isn’t there, no one can blame lack of space.

‘The guest list is so large that it becomes impossible to ignore Blake’s absence. People will notice right away.’

‘Taylor can invite almost anyone she knows. That’s why Blake didn’t get an invite.’

‘This isn’t about logistics or capacity. ‘If Blake is left off the list, it’s personal.’

‘The situation is looking worse for Blake as the wedding escalates,’ the source continued.

‘There will be movie stars, athletes, politicians and music moguls in this arena,’ a source said.

‘When Blake isn’t around, it becomes one of the biggest stories of the night, and Taylor knows it.’

The apparent snub carries extra sting, considering Swift is the beloved godmother to the couple’s daughters James, 11, Inez, nine, and Betty. The couple also share three-year-old son Olin.

Swift and Kelce brought downtown Manhattan to a standstill with one of the lavish nights of their wedding.

Reported bridesmaid Selena Gomez was seen dressed to the nines in an elegant black dress as she arrived at the arena early Thursday evening to celebrate her best friend’s wedding.

Supermodel Gigi Hadid, another bridesmaid, headed to the venue accompanied by her boyfriend Bradley Cooper and Swift’s close friend Ashley Avignone.

Swift’s longtime musical collaborator Jack Antonoff was also seen leaving the Bowery Hotel in a dapper suit while riding in a private car.

Although Lively’s bitter lawsuit against Baldoni was settled earlier this year, it seems that wasn’t enough to earn her a coveted spot on Swift’s guest list.

Swift’s dispute with the actress occurred after she was subpoenaed in her lawsuit against Baldoni, but the subpoena was later withdrawn.

Swift, whose popular song My Tears Ricochet was featured on the soundtrack of the 2024 film It Ends With Us, in which Baldoni starred alongside Lively, was drawn into the rollercoaster saga last year when Baldoni filed a $400 million countersuit accusing Lively and her husband of defamation. The suit was later thrown out.

Explosive text messages in Baldoni’s complaint revealed that Lively referred to the superstar singer and her husband as “my dragons” in an attempt to scare her over the ill-fated film.

Although Lively was left off the guest list, Swift’s close friend Selena Gomez shared a video of herself heading to the rehearsal dinner.

A source told DailyMail.com in January: ‘Friends also think Blake’s “I’m Khaleesi and like her I have dragons” message to Justin was unpleasant and unnecessary because it was actually used as an intimidation tactic. It was called some sort of pet or possession.’

Since then, Swift has reportedly been trying to move on from both the scandal and her friendship with Lively.

These efforts included removing Lively from her inner circle and having Kelce unfollow Reynolds on Instagram.
