Oh man, it’s sounding worse and worse for these two!
We heard Taylor Swift and Blake Lively were having some problems because of this whole It Ends With Us drama. Multiple insiders said the issue was that whole Justin Baldoni meeting — and the Game Of Thrones nonsense that followed. We heard it really hurt Tay’s feelings to be used as a powerful threat against some guy she didn’t even know. But a source early on said they’d talked it out like besties do, and they were good now.
That… seems to have been optimistic.
First Blake wasn’t part of Tay’s entourage at the Super Bowl this year. Now over the weekend, the Blank Space singer turned down her invitation to the SNL 50 anniversary special. We’ve now heard reports that was to avoid Blake! (Well, and Kim Kardashian!) Ouch!

Is it just for appearances? A business decision, since the tide has turned against Blake lately? Not according to the latest source!
An insider told Page Six on Tuesday the whole thing feeling “used” thing really got to her:
“Taylor is really hurt by this whole situation and feels like a pawn.”
Aw! So hurt, they say, that despite their nearly 10-year friendship, Tay “needs space” from Blake. The insider says she’s “taking a break from their friendship right now.”
Not only that, she’s “keeping her distance” from Ryan Reynolds, too!
“Taylor wants nothing to do with this whole ordeal. She has always been a loyal friend to Blake and doesn’t appreciate being thrown into this at all.”
Oof. The cold shoulder from Taylor. That’s gotta hurt.
