Blake Lively will not be accompanying her longtime best friend, Taylor Swift, to watch her boyfriend Travis Kelce face off against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
A source told DailyMail.com exclusively: ‘Blake is not attending the Super Bowl with her. Blake has not left the house since this started practically. Taylor wants nothing to do with this trial and court case.’
The claim comes amid reports that the 14-time Grammy winner ‘feels used’ by the Gossip Girl star, 37, after becoming embroiled in the explosive legal feud between Lively, 37, and Baldoni, 41.
Baldoni has claimed Lively namedropped Swift to intimidate him at a meeting with her husband Ryan Reynolds about edits she had made to a rooftop scene in their film, It Ends with Us.
In his $400 million lawsuit, filed last month, Baldoni alleged Swift showed up and made him feel like he ‘needed to comply with Blake’s direction for the script’.

Lively compared herself to Game of Thrones character Khaleesi in a series of text messages to Baldoni in which she referred to Reynolds, 48, and her best friend as her ‘dragons’.
On Thursday, it was claimed Swift ‘resents’ Lively for ‘calling her one of her dragons and leveraging her name’, with a source claiming to TMZ that she was blindsided over the meeting with Baldoni.
The source claimed Swift came to Lively’s apartment when she was told by the actress and had ‘no idea’ that Baldoni would be there.
The source said Baldoni was about to leave after the two hour meeting when Swift walked in and was introduced to him for the ‘first and only time.’
Swift told Baldoni how excited she was to see the movie ‘because he was her friend’s boss’ according to the source.
They also claim Swift believes Lively ‘timed’ her meeting with Baldoni so she would arrive before he left.
Swift was also said to be ‘baffled’ by Lively calling her a ‘dragon’ adding: ‘It’s weird to say that about a friend.’
It was further claimed by the source that Swift has learned Lively has been ‘inappropriately leveraging her name for a long time, like telling a young actress that Taylor ‘cast her,’ which simply did not happen.’

DailyMail.com has contacted representatives for Taylor Swift, Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni for comment.
Also on Thursday, numerous sources insisted to Us Weekly that Swift had ‘no involvement’ in the making of It Ends With Us.
‘Taylor has always been Blake’s friend, but Taylor doesn’t have any involvement in the case. She wasn’t part of the movie,’ one insider claimed.
‘Taylor was not a producer on the film and had no creative involvement.’
Another source pointed out that Swift was on her Eras Tour while the film was shooting in 2023 and 2024.
‘Taylor never even saw the film or a single scene from it until the movie was in theaters. She is not relevant to the case,’ they added.
A different source told the outlet that dragging Swift into Lively and Baldoni’s legal battle is ‘unnecessary.’
