Changes in Taylor Swift’s close group of friends as a new popular figure joins and tensions rise with Blake Lively.

Taylor Swift appears to be moving on from one high-profile friendship and quietly leaning into another.

The famous 35-year-old singer is rumored to be ending her friendship with Blake Lively after a recent disagreement that has been brewing for months. Trouble started when Lively allegedly threatened to expose private text messages between them unless Swift supported her in a dispute with Justin Baldoni, who is both a co-star and director of the movie “It Ends With Us”.

Swift, who got involved in the legal dispute through a subpoena for licensing a song for the movie, responded through her team, clarifying that she was not part of the conflict.

The subpoena was later dropped, but the damage to Taylor Swift’s friendship with Blake Lively was already reportedly done.

Sources now indicate that Swift is focusing on her more stable relationships, particularly her long-standing but less publicized bond with actress Dakota Johnson.

The two were spotted on Thursday evening enjoying dinner at NYC’s Italian hotspot Via Carota, joined by their brothers, Austin Swift and Jesse Johnson. The outing marked a rare public moment for the duo, but fans may recall Johnson once calling Swift “the most powerful person in America” during a “Saturday Night Live” monologue.

While neither Swift nor Lively has publicly addressed the rumored fallout, sources close to the singer suggest she’s closing the chapter on the friendship for good.

“Taylor is done,” one insider claimed, adding that she felt used as “an intimidation tactic” and blindsided by Lively’s actions.

“Cara does not like to be involved in any drama, and she is very supportive of her friends,” a source explained to Daily Mail. “She considers Taylor to be one of her closest friends and she does not approve of the way that the events of the past several months have unfolded.”

Longtime Swift squad members Sophie Turner and Gigi Hadid have also seemingly stepped back from their once-tight bond with Lively. Hadid, who previously referred to Lively as a “magical friend,” is no longer publicly connected to the actress, further fueling rumors that the Swift inner circle may have quietly closed ranks.

“She avoided the AMAs because she didn’t want to deal with 1000s of questions about the Blake Lively saga,” a source told the Daily Mail. “It is all anyone wants to talk about, and Taylor is really tired of it.”

While the reported fallout with Blake Lively continues to dominate headlines and stir speculation among fans, Swift is also celebrating a major career victory that’s decades in the making.
