Taylor Swift ‘ignoring' Blake Lively's ‘groveling' texts after being dragged into Justin Baldoni battle: report

Taylor Swift is ready for a cruel summer.
The Grammy winner, 35, is reportedly 'done' with Blake Lively after being dragged into the actress' ongoing legal feud with Justin Baldoni, so much so that she's allegedly 'ignoring' all calls, texts, and emails from her former bestie.
'Even though Taylor has totally cut ties with her, Blake hasn't with Taylor,' a source told the Daily Mail on Tuesday, June 3.

Lively's attempts to contact Swift have reportedly gone unanswered.
'She's been reaching out to her with texts, voicemails and even emails begging to mend what they once had. Blake isn't giving up on trying to get her friendship with Taylor back on track,' the insider continued.
'Taylor hasn't responded to any of Blake's pleas. She's ignored all her groveling excuses. The missives explain there must be some misunderstanding on Taylor's part and that she would never do anything to harm their ten years of closeness and personal secrets,' they alleged.
The source further claimed that Swift is icing out her friend of ten years because she feels 'betrayed' and 'exploited' by Lively, 37.
'Taylor obviously still means so much to Blake, but Taylor's totally done with her and as of right now, no requests will mend their bond as far as she's concerned,' the insider shared.

The Post reached out to Swift's team for comment.
Swift allegedly pressed pause on her friendship with Lively in May being subpoenaed as a witness by Baldoni's legal team in the never-ending 'It Ends With Us' legal nightmare.
'Their friendship has halted,' an insider told People on Thursday, May 15, adding, 'Taylor wants no part in this drama.'
11 It was already alleged that their friendship was 'fractured.'

However, in a shocking move by Baldoni's legal team, they dropped the subpoena on May 22 after a representative for Swift denied she had any involvement in the drama.
'Taylor Swift never set foot on the set of this movie, she was not involved in any casting or creative decisions, she did not score the film, she never saw an edit or made any notes on the film, she did not even see 'It Ends With Us' until weeks after its public release, and was traveling around the globe during 2023 and 2024 headlining the biggest tour in history,' the rep told The Post in response to the original subpoena.
The 'Bad Blood' singer, who is godmother to several of Lively's kids with Ryan Reynolds, was mentioned in Baldoni's $400 million countersuit against the actress and her famous husband, in which he accused Blake of calling Taylor and Reynolds her 'dragons' and referring to herself as Khaleesi from 'Game of Thrones' in an alleged text conversation.

In the lawsuit, Baldoni also alleged Swift was present for a pivotal meeting he had with Lively at the NYC penthouse she shares with Reynolds about rewriting the infamous 'It Ends With Us' rooftop scene.
His attorney, Bryan Freedman, later issued a letter to Judge Lew J. Liman, claiming he was told by an anonymous source that Lively's lead lawyer, Michael Gottlieb, allegedly threatened to release Swift's text messages if the 'You Need to Calm Down' hitmaker didn't publicly support Blake.
Gottlieb denied the allegations — and the judge granted Lively's motion to strike the letter, calling Freedman's filing 'improper' and 'irrelevant' in the order obtained by The Post.

'It took the court less than 24 hours to see through Mr. Freedman's irrelevant, improper and inflammatory accusations, strike them, remove them from the court and warn Mr. Freedman that further misconduct may be met with sanctions,' a spokesperson for Lively said at the time.
The 'Another Simple Favor' actress has denied all the allegations against her.
Lively kicked off the legal feud when she sued Baldoni in December 2024, claiming he sexually harassed her while filming 'It Ends With Us.' She also accused him of spearheading a smear campaign against her, as well as intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress.

He, too, denied the accusations.
In an unpredicted move this week, Baldoni's attorneys informed the judge that Lively was trying to abandon her infliction of emotional distress claims against their client after they sought to obtain her medical records.
Baldoni's legal team argued that Lively 'waived any doctor-patient privilege' when she claimed to have suffered 'physical and emotional injuries' because of the 'It Ends With Us' director.
Judge Liman must now decide if the actress will be ordered to turn over the mental health information sought by the opposing counsel.
Lively and Baldoni's legal trial is set for March 2026.

Bad Bunny Says It Is Silly To Complain About His Job

It's fair to say that Bad Bunny is one of the hardest-working music artists in the game right now. Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio went from the barrio to the Billboard charts, becoming one of the first Latin artists to sell out stadiums around the world, even breaking the record for most tickets ever sold in Spain (he's set to perform 12 shows there on his upcoming tour). In a June 18 interview with Variety, the Puerto Rican superstar spoke to his work ethic as a music artist and celebrity. When his comments went viral, the fans were eating it up just as much as his boricua beats. In the interview, discussing his upcoming residency and tour surrounding his sixth studio album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos, Benito got real about what's expected of him as he embarks on one of the biggest tours of his career. "At times, I do think, cabrón, what I'm signing up for is a lot," he said. For context, Benito is set to perform a 30-night residency at the Colseo de Puerto Rico in San Juan, not too far from where he grew up from July 11 to Sept. 14, and then he's going on a 56-date world stadium tour from November 2025 to July 2026. Basically, he's booked and busy. "But the way I see it, I'm not a doctor; I'm not a teacher; I'm not someone who has to wake up every morning at 5 a.m. to lay down concrete on a busy road to survive," Benito continued. "My job is to fucking sing, and even though it comes with its own set of sacrifices, it feels silly to complain about it." When Benito's comments on the pressure of fame started to make their rounds on the internet, like in this Reddit thread, a lot of people had something to say about it, many praising the three-time Grammy winner for his honesty. Here are some of my favorite comments. "He's a man who got famous as an adult and has managed to become the hometown hero of Puerto Rico, which he obviously put in the work to deserve. It's not necessarily easy to handle, but you can compare that to what a lot of women and people who start as child stars go through. Good for him that he feels this way about it, but I'm not shocked that it's not a common perspective. If he can avoid the toxicity of overwhelming greed and not chase being a billionaire or whatever, he might actually stay happy," a Reddit user shared. Another Reddit user said, "Finally someone with some common sense. I'm so tired of celebs complaining how hard their job is, having never worked a real job in their lives. Like, sure, the pressure must be a lot and paparazzi and public scrutiny, but that's nothing compared to some annoying boomer manager breathing down your neck 24/7 or a customer having a screaming meltdown over a difference of 28 cents or cleaning up vomit, etc." "I appreciate the humility but the more artists downplay the work they put in the more the public does as well. EVERY job has pros and cons so please remember that. He is lucky to have the job he has but it's not like many of them don't work hard for it. 💙" X user wrote. This Reddit user wrote, "He has the right attitude and a healthy perspective." "Good way of putting it, everything is relative and even with fame and money and privilege you can still stress and be sad and be overwhelmed at times, but still understand and be grateful for what you have," another X user wrote. "I truly wish more celebrities and influencers had enough self-awareness to realize that publicly whining about their privileged lives doesn't hit the way they think it does," another Reddit user added. Finally, this Reddit user said, "It doesn't even sound like he's saying that as a performer you can't have bad days or struggle in/with your career, it more so sounds like he simply thinks it's in poor taste to publicly lament about how hard you have it since it's a highly privileged profession." What do you think about Bad Bunny's take on the pressures of being a famous singer? Let's talk about it in the comments.

Taylor Swift Wears Sky-Blue Bodysuit and Ballerina Skirt With Travis Kelce on NYC Date

THE RUNDOWN On Friday, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were seen in New York City after several months of rare appearances. The couple was filmed leaving a restaurant in footage shared by a fan account on X, formerly Twitter. In the video, an employee held the door open, shaking Kelce's hand as he passed by, then nodding goodbye to the Eras Tour star as she followed her boyfriend out. As they approached a car, Kelce took Swift's hand and escorted her ahead of him into the vehicle. For the hot summer night out, Swift wore a pale blue bodysuit with a short pleated skirt. She accessorized with a white handbag and white pointed-toe shoes and left her hair down in flowing waves. Kelce was wearing white shorts and a white shirt with sneakers. Swift and Kelce have been seen frequently in Florida the last few months, and attended the Stanley Cup Finals in Sunrise, Florida, on June 12. They also popped up in Tennessee on June 6, attending a backyard wedding together, and before that at Harry's West Palm Beach in Florida. Kelce reportedly rented a luxury house nearby to spend some time with Swift and his family. The couple has been recovering from a very busy winter. Swift's Eras Tour ended in December 2024. Kelce's team, the Kansas City Chiefs, played in the Super Bowl in February, he will soon return to NFL training camp ahead of the next season. On June 4, a source explained why they have been so low-key, telling Us Weekly, 'They are making fewer public appearances together because [their relationship] brings too much unwanted attention, but there isn't trouble in paradise.' A second source shared, 'Florida has been the perfect escape for them. Taylor has been coming and going to Florida and is still spending a lot of her time in NYC.'
