Taylor Swift and Blake Lively’s longtime friendship is reportedly facing serious strain following recent controversies.

According to multiple entertainment reports, the pop superstar may even step down as godmother to Lively’s children, signaling a possible end to their once-close relationship.

The rumors stem from Blake Lively’s ongoing legal battle with It Ends With Us director Justin Baldoni. Court documents and leaked private texts allegedly revealed Lively referring to Swift as a “dragon.” Insiders claim the revelation left Swift feeling both “used and furious,” raising tensions between the two friends.

Swift, who has long been part of the Lively-Reynolds family circle, was previously seen attending family events and sharing public moments of support with the couple. Her reported consideration of stepping back as godmother underscores the seriousness of the fallout, though neither Swift nor Lively has publicly addressed the claims.

The two stars’ friendship dates back over a decade, with Swift and Lively frequently celebrating milestones together and supporting each other’s careers. Swift even named characters in her Reputation album booklet after the Lively-Reynolds children, a gesture that highlighted their bond.

While the rumors continue to spread online, fans remain divided. Some argue the friendship will withstand the controversy, while others believe the leaked texts point to a permanent rift. For now, both Taylor Swift and Blake Lively have remained silent, leaving speculation about their relationship’s future unresolved.
