The two are thought to be feuding but eagle-eyed fans have noticed a detail about Taylor Swift’s new album that might prove their friendship is back on track
Fans believe they’ve noticed a detail about The Life of a Showgirl that proves Taylor Swift and Blake Lively are friends again.
The two were thought to be feuding after Taylor was dragged unwillingly into Blake’s lawsuit with Justin Baldoni. The actress claimed her It Ends With Us director and co-star sexually harassed her and organised a smear campaign against her.
He filed a countersuit that accused Blake of bullying behaviour and in the middle of proceedings details emerged about text messages between Blake and Taylor that allegedly referred to the singer as one of the Gossip Girl star’s “dragons”.

Both parties wanted to depose Taylor, but her lawyers were adamant that she did not want this. Taylor and Blake have been rumoured to no longer be friends because of this, but fans noticed that the Fate of Ophelia singer may be giving Blake a shout out in the album’s artwork.
In one of the album covers, Taylor is wearing a bracelet that is nearly identical to the one Blake wore to the London premiere of It Ends With Us.
The actress wore a pink sapphire and diamond Lorraine Schwartz bracelet on the red carpet and Taylor donned a bracelet made by the same designer for her promo shoot.
Fans noticed the similarities, with one saying: “You heard it here first — Taylor Swift’s recent The Life of a Showgirl promo shots reveal her wearing the EXACT custom-made Lorraine Schwartz pink sapphire and diamond bracelet Blake Lively wore to the London It Ends With Us premiere last August. Coincidence?”
This is not the only shout out to Blake. In her song CANCELLED!, Taylor sang about how she love being friends with people who have faced public fury. “At least you know exactly who your friends are / They’re the ones with matching scars.”
Blake’s lawsuit with Justin has seen many people try to cancel her as a workplace “bully”. Before that, she was also branded as a ‘difficult’ person to work with after an interview resurfaced where the actress was seemingly so rude, it made the interviewer, Kristen Flaa, “want to quit”.
Taylor too has come under fire, as many fans have criticised her for not speaking up about issues in America such as raids by ICE and anti-trans rhetoric, despite previously building part of her fan base on activist issues. Others have also taken issue with the fact that she is now a billionaire.
But in the new song, Taylor says she liked that she and her friends are cancelled. “Good thing I like my friends cancelled / I like ’em cloaked in Gucci and in scandal / Like my whiskey sour / And poison thorny flowers.” Some think the “whiskey sour” line may also reference Blake, as she has a liquor company called Betty Booze.
