Kim Kardashian shows support for Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds amid ongoing Taylor Swift lawsuit drama

Kim Kardashian made waves on social media Sunday by showing support for her rival Taylor Swift’s former confidantes, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, amid ongoing tensions in their circle. Kardashian, 44, posted a heartfelt tribute on Instagram for her son Psalm's sixth birthday party, but the timing of her gesture has raised eyebrows, as Lively and Swift's friendship has been strained due to a lawsuit.

The reality star, who boasts 356 million Instagram followers, shared a series of images from the Deadpool and Wolverine-themed birthday bash she threw for Psalm, complete with custom decorations and a cake featuring the two characters. Although the post was a simple celebration of her son's milestone, Kardashian's choice to publicly showcase support for Lively and Reynolds comes at a time when Swift is reportedly distancing herself from the actress due to a growing legal dispute.

Sources close to Swift have revealed the singer is frustrated with Lively, particularly amid the ongoing litigation related to It Ends with Us, the movie Lively is working on with Justin Baldoni. “Right now, if Taylor had one wish, it would be that she never met Blake,” a source told Daily Mail. Swift has reportedly come to see red flags in the friendship that caused her more stress than it was worth.

Kardashian’s public endorsement of Lively and Reynolds couldn’t come at a more critical time. The actors, who once enjoyed a close friendship with Swift, have recently been entangled in the drama surrounding the lawsuit. Kardashian’s gesture, shared with nearly 350,000 likes, was noticed by several notable figures, including her sister Khloé Kardashian, who sent a heart-filled response to the post.

The underlying tensions between Swift and Kardashian date back to the infamous 2009 MTV Video Music Awards when Kanye West interrupted Swift’s speech, sparking years of animosity. While the two stars briefly reconciled, the situation reignited with West’s 2016 song Famous, and the public fallout between Swift and Kardashian deepened. Kardashian’s tweet, calling Swift a “snake” in 2016, only escalated the feud, which continues to simmer today.
