Taylor Swift’s decade-long friendship with Blake Lively is past the point of repair.

The 35-year-old singer is reportedly ‘done’ with the 37-year-old actress, a source exclusively informed DailyMail.com, and their mutual friend Gigi Hadid, 30, is also said to be cutting ties with Blake.

This follows reports suggesting that Lively allegedly threatened to expose private, embarrassing texts from Swift unless the pop star agreed to publicly support her in her legal dispute with Justin Baldoni, 41.

Their friendship has cooled as Lively is embroiled in a high-stakes lawsuit with actor Baldoni. Last week, despite her efforts to stay clear of the controversy, Swift was dramatically served a subpoena related to the case.

‘There is no recovering from this. Their friendship is done,’ the insider said.

‘What Blake has done was exploit the Godmother of her children and manipulate the public into thinking that she was watching out for her best interests,’ the source added.

Swift is the godmother to Lively’s three eldest children with Ryan Reynolds, 48: James, 10, Inez, eight, and Betty, five.

‘Taylor is done and Gigi is done with Blake, and she has no one to blame but herself. Taylor is a girl’s girl and she loves her friends. She will bend over backward for them but when that trust is broken there is no going back,’ the insider added.

The Eras Tour star was sent legal notice last week by Baldoni’s lawyer to be a witness. Taylor’s camp slammed the subpoena as they argued that she was not very involved in the drama on set of Lively and Baldoni’s 2024 film It Ends With Us. 

Meanwhile the biggest indicator of tensions between Hadid and Lively came last month when the runway star celebrated her 30th birthday with a suitably star-studded party at New York’s Alpine-themed cocktail bar Le Chalet.

The guestlist included Hadid’s actor boyfriend Bradley Cooper, 50, her model sister Bella Hadid, mom and dad Yolanda and Mohamed Hadid, as well as actress Anne Hathaway.

One face that was notably absent was Lively – and according to our insider, it’s because Hadid ‘is no longer friends with her’.

The pair were reportedly introduced through Swift, but it is understood that ‘Gigi’s loyalty is to Taylor’.

‘She is not, and will never be, one of Blake’s “dragons”,’ our insider said, citing an alleged text exchange between Baldoni and Lively, in which the actress compared Swift to a ‘dragon.’ 

On Wednesday, DailyMail.com exclusively revealed that Lively allegedly threatened to leak Swift’s texts.

The explosive revelation appeared in a legal letter filed Wednesday by Baldoni’s lawyers, in response to Lively’s request to quash their subpoena to the singer.

Their friendship has gone cold amid the actress's ongoing legal battle with Justin Baldoni, and it was recently reported Lively allegedly threatened to leak embarrassing private texts from Swift unless the pop star publicly backed her in the feud; they are seen in 2023

The court filing alleged that the Gossip Girl alum had tried to pressure Swift to issue a public statement in support of her and urged her to delete text messages between them during her escalating legal battle with Baldoni.

In the letter to the judge, Baldoni’s legal team, led by Bryan Freedman, hit back at Lively’s ‘wrong’ claims that the proposed subpoena to Swift ‘seeks irrelevant documents’.

Freedman argued that it aims to obtain information ‘relating to witness tampering and evidence spoliation’ – specifically that Lively had attempted ‘coerce’ Swift into publicly siding with her.

According to the letter, Baldoni’s attorneys received information that ‘(i) Ms. Lively requested that Taylor Swift delete their text messages’ – which, according to inside sources, may have contained details from over a decade of friendship, relationships, and private confidences. 

It also claims Lively’s lawyer Michael Gottlieb had contacted Swift’s attorney and demanded ‘that Ms. Swift release a statement of support for Ms. Lively, intimating that, if Ms. Swift refused to do so, private text messages of a personal nature in Ms. Lively’s possession would be released’.

In response, Swift’s reps purportedly addressed Lively’s ‘inappropriate and apparently extortionate threats in at least one written communication’ sent to Gottlieb, according to Freedman.

‘It is those communications that [Baldoni’s team] seeks to obtain by way of subpoena, as they would evidence an attempt to intimidate and coerce a percipient witness in this litigation’, the letter states.

Blake‘s team moved to strike the letter submitted by Freedman, and her request was granted by the judge on Thursday. 

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.

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

In January, a source told DailyMail.com: ‘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.

Swift and Lively have been friends for a decade, with the pair celebrating milestones together and the singer even name dropping Lively’s children in her music.

The new 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.

Although she claimed it had been filmed with microphones off, DailyMail.com 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.

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

Swift is reportedly furious over being dragged into the case and has not been photographed with Lively for months.

Last week, her boyfriend Travis Kelce unfollowed Reynolds in yet another sign that relations between the two couples have cooled.

Last week, DailyMail.com revealed that the superstar singer was left devastated when she was subpoenaed as a witness in the case.

Despite putting on a brave face in Philadelphia this weekend – reportedly joining her boyfriend Travis and their respective moms for a Mother’s Day lunch – it is understood that Swift, 35, has been ‘completely floored’ by the legal escalation and is now ‘very upset’.

And not least because she feels betrayed and ‘exploited’ by her longtime friend, Lively.

Up until this year, Swift counted Lively among her closest confidantes.

They live just a stone’s throw away from each other in New York’s trendy Tribeca neighborhood, and Swift is godmother to Lively’s three daughters.

But things soured in December when Lively sued Baldoni, her co-star and director in the It Ends With Us movie adaptation of the popular Colleen Hoover novel.

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

The following month, when Baldoni filed a countersuit accusing Lively and her husband Ryan of defamation, Swift was dragged into the mix.

Contained in Baldoni’s filing were screenshots of text messages and emails that named Swift.

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.
