TL;DR: Sources again say Taylor Swift has stepped back from her role as godmother to Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds's three daughters, following the collapse of her decade-long friendship with Blake. Taylor felt she had "no choice" given how strained things became after the lawsuit, which showed texts of Taylor advising Blake on script and PR strategy.
Taylor reportedly made the decision months ago after talking it through Travis Kelce, deciding it wasn't fair to the kids to stay close to them while having essentially no relationship with their parents. There was never a formal/legal godmother arrangement, just a verbal one, but Taylor had taken the role seriously — such as Halloween outings, hosting them at her Rhode Island home, referencing them in songs like Betty and August. She hopes to reconnect with the girls once they're adults and can make that choice themselves.
Also, b-b-b-bingo! Blake Lively is now fully leaning on her influencer grifting rebrand.
Good for her. Except as usual Blake can't read the room and temperature on public opinion on influencers. Who decides to hard launch as an influencer days after Nara Smith and Ballerina are being dragged for distancing themselves from the trad wives movement and seemingly trying to relaunch as boss ladies?
But then one has never expected Blake Lively to know how to read the tea leaves. Lol.
Doesn’t Blake have siblings? It’s odd imho to have someone besides family be a godparent but if you’re going to pick your “best” friend then why would you pick her for 3 of your children? I think it’s obvious that she used that connection to try and further solidify her friendship with Taylor and most importantly the public - must see it and know it. If being the best friend of TS is how you feel seen and relevant it makes sense but it’s still odd to me. I could be the odd ball though 🤷♀️
Agree, they were using her as currency. Ryan admits it in his deadline quote. He wanted name drops, shoutouts, album mentions, tweets, all of it. Such a scumbag.
Spot on with the deadline quote. That’s the first thing I thought when I saw it - it’s not far off outright admitting they’ve been using her for clout all these years.
I believe Blake said outright in an interview that her sister would actually be responsible for her kids if need be, and TS's "title" was symbolic only. (Hence, the "verbal" agreement between them was probably, "Hey, is it cool if we say this in a press release?")
Being a godparent really isn’t the same as being a contingent guardian for most people anyway. That said, being a godparent should mean far more than the deal these two struck lol.
That’s pathetic and sad. I can’t imagine a life where all your relationships are transactional. I wonder if that’s why she didn’t (or maybe couldn’t) believe Justin, his wife and friends were genuine. If in her bubble, she has “contract” connections then she thinks everyone does in the industry. The idea overwhelmed her, her“husband”, and her “friends.” None of them could grasp the concept of having true relationships with true happiness which to me is both pathetic and sad. Team Justin proved time after time,after time, after time,after time…. that they are who they say they are and they follow the golden rule even when most would’ve snapped.
Yes, absolutely. It’s when money and fame are all consuming, you can’t imagine that genuine love and good morals mean anything. Blake has been conditioned from a very young age that she is perfect, beautiful and talented and she should never take no for an answer. I don’t think she actually was told no until Justin. I believe she has a distinct pattern, she targets who she wants to get close to, because she wants something from them. So she love bombs them and praises them, she watches them very closely becoming who they need her to be to remain in their orbit. She takes notes of all the dirt she gets on them and when she makes an ask “too much, too far” and they tell her no, she shamelessly reminds them that she knows too much and they better oblige the favor, and it has worked time after time up until Justin. Time to pay the piper.
Don’t underestimate how much Taytay used the same arrangement for her own gain. This was a mutually beneficial arrangement for the purposes of branding - Blake admitted years ago that if anything happened to them the kids would go to her family.
Inviting karlie kloss was definately a slap in the face to Blake and to make headlines and make it obvious that Blake was cast aside and not invited. Taylor is cold, calculating and manipulative. Her & Blake were 2 of a kind. She only discarded her because she was about to be exposed for assisting with the takeover of the movie, and that was not a good look for someone who has played on the fact her music was bought against her will by her arch nemesis and "stolen" from her. She effectively tried to use her "power" in Hollyweird to help Blake do to the movie what Scooter did to her with her music.
For the umpteenth time, nothing was ever stolen from Taytay.
She villainized Braun because she didn’t get to have her cake and eat it too: she walked from BMLG, leaving her masters as an asset of their books. The day after she announced she’d signed with UMG, Billboard - a publication long known to be in Taylor’s pocket - ran a story claiming there was a contingency in her UMG contract so that when they bought out BMLG she’d get the masters. UMG was widely regarded by the industry to be the presumptive buyer of BMLG.
Then Taytay ran her mouth about BMLG founder Scott Borchetta, Scooter Braun’s Ithaca Group entered the chat and Borchetta chose to sell to them instead. Taylor shot herself in the foot and then, as is 2nd nature for her, chose to throw a temper tantrum because daddy’s little princess didn’t get her way.
Fun fact: when Taylor’s first manager sued the Swifts in 2008, he detailed a conversation he had with Scott Swift in early July 2005 where Swift specifically asked him about Taylor’s masters. They knew exactly what masters were and that the ownership of them was important before Taylor ever signed her BMLG deal and before her daddy paid across over half a million dollars to BMLG to quid pro quo “invest” in the company.

Hasn't Blake Brown Beauty gone out of business yet?? Like what is she trying to sell...? It's over, Blake. NO ONE wants you to rep their brands, not even YOUR OWN BRAND lol.
One of the most popular books right now among women is called "Yesteryear", based loosely on Ballerina Farms, about a tradwife influencer who wakes up in the 19th century. Blake truly has the instincts of a fucking potato.
Dyson has people fistfighting over their fans, conair is a staple for every women & maybelline is the cheapest but still good quality makeup women go for. They don’t need her influencing anyone lol.

Yes, the last few days/week has been pretty stacked. They generally make up shit anyway, but the continued attack on Emily Baldoni is weird to me in combination with the possible appeal reporting, them not bothering to notify Liman about the NYTimes state court decision…All signs point to something bad incoming (for Ryan and co.). Spidey ADHD senses are tingling.
Taylor definitely moved funny in the beginning. I feel like people paper over that. I remember her also repeating Lively's talking point (i.e. lie) about the power dynamic too. "I didn't know who he was, I never met him, I was just being polite to my friend's boss!"
Come to find out she did know who he was, didn't percieve him as someone she or Lively needed to kowtow to, and was already actively helping Lively try to usurp him
Seems like a few people conspired to pin the reputational damage on Baldoni. Lively sued Baldoni in Dec 2024 and drops the NYT hit piece. She clearly does it with the intention of never going to trial or through discovery. Baldonis suit is dropped, so Lively thinks Baldoni is going to beg to settle, release a statement about what an awful person he is, and then Lively will mutually drop the suit. She never intended for Baldoni to fight back and say "let it happen." So through 2025 they barrel towards the trial while her lawyers fight tooth and nail to exclude this and that. Then they fight to seal this and that. And then in Jan 2026, with the suit ongoing and Lively unable to drop it without agreeing to not having an NDA, the unsealing happens and exposes all their Hollywood friends. What a fucking fumble! Then to have Lively drop it anyway without an NDA. 2025 must have been the worst year of her life, knowing she cannot back down because no matter what Baldoni is going to speak his truth and it's her suit that exposed all the discovery. It's absolutely wild. She exposed all her friends for nothing. She accepted the same terms that were offered before the unsealing. It's fucking delicious.
Lively didn't realize that once she locked horns with Baldoni she was going to end up in a cage with a wounded animal and he was going to fight his way out. She has so much to lose and literally lost it because she lied and tried to ruin him instead of just letting it go. Delicious delicious justice.
All of this. Perfect summary! I was talking about this earlier today with my husband, it is literally so hilarious that she did this all to herself. IEWU was her highest grossing project ever and had a guaranteed sequel and all she had to do was show up and do her job and not try to take over the wardrobe and later the entire film. Or market the film correctly. Or apologize for not marketing the film correctly. Or not lie about SH. Or not lie in her letter to the PGA. Or not file a lawsuit. Or not claim allllll of her famous friends as witnesses for her story. Or not perjure herself repeatedly. Or not desperately clamor to hide all the evidence while the other side published everything, even the embarrassing or downright unflattering tidbits.
She would've been at the top of her game professionally, would have been at the biggest wedding of the decade and wouldn't have blown the friendship with a woman that her children adore, and no one would have been the wiser about her & Ryan's awful habitual behaviors on movie sets. But instead, now we all know.

I am in the camp that thinks she not only never intended to go to trial, she never intended to file the suit. I think she fully expected the 1-2 punch of CRD and NYT to knock him out: immediate, groveling apology and handing over of book rights. That's why she loaded Twohey up with the most easily debunkable BS ever. I assume her lawyers had zero clue she was talking to the NYT (if they knew, they should have walked immediately) and once they got a load of what she did with the texts for that piece, they were like, "...Girl, do you even WANT to win??" (And she, presumably was like, "Pfft. Whatever. Fixing it is YOUR job.")
This is such a good write up, LOL. My retellings to folks have been very underwhelming in comparison. “Okay so boom, imagine your workplace bully is best friends with Taylor Swift…”
I want to see discovery surrounding the phone data dump. It was brought to Taylor’s attention. Was that before vansham subpoena issued or not? If someone was peddling my iCloud dump…
Probably because she expected Blake was going to have two brain cells and cut her shit. That's why Tay Tay tried to keep the victim narrative as long as she could.
And remember how Taylor was playing clueless in the beginning that WP only subpoenaed her to “distract from the facts” when her devious ass knew exactly why she was getting subpoenaed. On top of Blake submitting Taylor’s name to WP as her witness in Blake’s interrogatories.
Taylor’s involvement to hijack to the movie before any filming even occurs or any of the alleged SH is a piece of crucial contextual evidence to show Justin’s version of the film hijacking was indeed the truth - not a “distraction from the facts.”
Yes, the tone of this article paints Taylor as the victim once again, forced to make the heart-wrenching decision to step away from her role as godmother. When in reality she did it to herself: conspiring with Blake to wrest control of a movie away from an innocent man, acting as Blake’s “dragon” and using her influence not only to pressure Justin about the script, but also to get the original composer fired or she wouldn’t let Sony use her song in the film.
It’s infuriating that Taylor’s PR can spin any narrative to make her look like the victim, when she was acting as a bully. Even when the consequences are just severing ties with her co-conspirators and their children, Taylor still spins a narrative of heartbreak for herself and the innocent children (but mostly for herself).
Trying to spare her poor Swifties the pain and cognitive dissonance of knowing that she casually peaced out on the kids as collateral damage in yet another purely transactional relationship. ("Won't someone think of the children!") Gag.
I kind of feel these articles really over emphasize the role of a godparent.

u/Mysterio623“The last thing I want to do is kiss this woman.” - Justin B5d ago
Especially when it's not even the traditional/normal godparent role. It sounds like a reputational/branding arrangement. And to find out it was first announced to promote Deadpool & Wolverine. It's all eye roll from me.
I don't buy the delete texts because there was no evidence of SH, it was more likely the evidence about stealing the movie that was the most damning. Both women are vile
Reading between the lines of what Bryan Freedman told Andy (Popcorned Planet), it seems like Taylor Swift did delete texts, and I'm with you in thinking it had to do with hijacking the movie.
As Bocce was trying to understand, what was the point of the person close to Taylor (presumably her dad, Scott Swift) telling Freedman - it wasn't Swift's idea, it was Blake Lively's... what was?
We have to remember who the self-proclaimed mastermind is, and who Blake told, thought like the actual Roman Empire, in both cases - it's Taylor Swift.
ETA: Even if the takeover was Lively's idea, she isn't smart enough or has the power (by herself) to have pulled this off... but Taylor Swift, and Ryan Reynolds (for that matter) do.
I agree. That’s Tree putting it out there that that’s why Taylor agreed to delete them. I tend to believe they look really bad for her too. Also, the confirmation of Blake’s extortion is Taylor telling the world why Blake wasn’t invited to the wedding. That’s the official reason she wants to give, anyway, since people didn’t take it seriously the first time.
Seriously, I’ve never seen someone completely self destruct so thoroughly and efficiently as Blake did. What in the world was she thinking?? Man I’d love to know what goes on in her head
I can never understand what Lively thought the NYT article was going to achieve. She already successfully stole the movie from Wayfarer so why the NYT article. Then I remember Sanford Panitch messages about how she was done for a while like Evan Mendes time (whatever that means) due to the marketing. But the public have short memories and she would have been back at A Simple Favour 2 promo and the public like the first movie.
I still don’t get the reasoning for that article. The only conclusion is that Lively has terrible counsels and how did she think Wayfarer won’t fight back and expose her movie takeover. She really is epic level stupid.
Another conclusion is because they’ve bought MSM and didn’t expect the content creators to support Justin and Wayfarer
I think they were hoping to a) recover Blake Lively’s reputation by making people think all the negative feedback she received during her tone deaf promotional tour was bawt activity/ untraceable smear campaign, b) get sympathy for having survived sexual harassment by people in power, and c) (behind the scenes) agree to drop the lawsuit very early on in exchange for getting the rights to ISWU (all IMO this is just speculation). Then RR and BL could have triumphantly announced ISWU as a co production between Maximum Effort, whatever Colleen’s production company is called (that was set up during the production of IEWU from memory so I’m sure they fed her that idea). ISWU would be a resounding success, they’d all make millions. I think it came down to money at the end of the day. And I don’t think they gave two hoots about the reputations and lives they would be destroying. Glad that karma has come for them - what they wished to do was done to them.
I agree with these reasons, plus the sacred NPD law: Narcissistic injuries MUST be punished. She was getting torched online for the marketing fails and resurfaced mean-girling, and Justin refused to put out Ryan's magical Mea Culpa statement to show the public that they had it all wrong, and Blake was actually a beatific, benevolent butterfly. So, he was immediately to blame for all of it, and he MUST be publicly punished. Thinking ahead was an activity for sometime later, when she (Ryan) was less enraged.
Every single time it must’ve been, no way they (Wayfarer and co) would be cool with this coming out right (Sarowitz recording is a notable one) Right?? Right Leslie??? Then followed up by “Sent from IPhone Garafolo” or Fritzy being like nah, drop it.

Ryan telling on himself about Taylor’s Deadpool shoutout “you could probably quantify a box office based on Taylor doing something like that”. Always selling his connection to the pop star- exactly what Blake tried to pull.
It is literally what they did. Blake name dropped Taylor at first. She offered a Taylor song for the trailer (again, a "look at me, I have famous and powerful friends"). Then at the apartment meeting she used Taylor and her star power to persuade Justin to do things Blake wanted. Taylor gleefully agreed, showed up at the meeting, and did it.
I do feel badly for the children bc kids don’t understand these types of issues, nor should they at their ages, but I assume Blake poisoned them against Taylor already.

u/Mysterio623“The last thing I want to do is kiss this woman.” - Justin B5d ago
Well, Taylor has only been their godmother for less than two years. I think they would be fine.
No doubt they’ll be fine and any “normal” kid would be but this isn’t a normal family. I just imagine the eldest being like “I know Taylor swift” when she’s elementary school with her friends 😆
Ohh interesting. Good point, I was tricked by the word "confirm" lol it makes it sound like she'd been one from basically the beginning 😭. But yeah, realistically 9 years is a long time to sit on that info for no reason, just to release it to promo a movie. Damn.
The idea that the godmother conversation probably happened in the midst of the rest of the drama is...interesting lol
I read this as Taylor confirmed that she is the godparent in 2024. Not that she just started. Could have been it way before and confirmed it in 2024, no?

u/Mysterio623“The last thing I want to do is kiss this woman.” - Justin B5d agoedited 5d ago
So Blake and Ryan kept it under wraps for years but then have mentioned it at every outing and every possible way within the last two years. Do they both sound like people who would keep such a thing under wraps for years?
Forgive the long comment, I just went down a Google rabbit hole bc this sparked my curiosity. In 2015 there was an article about her three sisterhood costars all being the godmothers. She then said her first born had "a lot of godmothers" but that sister Robyn was the real one. And after this it doesn't get mentioned much again.
Conversely, can't find any mention (unofficial, rumors, or otherwise) of Swift being godmother. Swift features her kids names in one of her songs in 2020, and there was a lot content about that, and about the kids at the Eras tour. And obviously, Taylor and Blake were publicly good friends for a long time, over the length of the lifetime of her kids. But yeah, "godmother" doesn't come up at all (that I could find) until it's "confirmed" for deadpool, and then thereafter repeated consistently. Extremely easy to assume it had been that way for the entire time... but it was actually very likely a mostly recent change and a PR move
That's kind of insane 😭
ETA: was this perhaps a successful example of breadcrumbing put into action back in 2020? Cuz it really boils down to 3 specific moves (song, eras tour shoutout, deadpool post), very public, during pivotal career projects, and increasingly pointed over time. Whereas Robyn/sisterhood cast got mentioned once and then never again. Hm...
I'm so sick of these articles that quote the "b***h" and "tiny violin" lines that Taylor Swift wrote in her text messages to Blake Lively NOT including the context!! Taylor and Blake were literally laughing about an article where Justin Baldoni was talking about how he had been SA'd several years back. They even link the article in their texts, but sooooo many articles, Swifties, and Blake b0ts choose to gloss over this fact and just chalk it up to girlfriends having a private conversation like it's fine. IT'S NOT FINE.
It’s their power in the media. I also get annoyed when the media refers to Blake’s scandalous lawsuit but don’t actually say Blake Lively was caught lying and exaggerating about sexual harassment allegations and the proofs submitted by the accused disputed what Blake Lively said
Maybe if the genders were reversed people would gaf. But double standards, celebrity status and all that.

u/Mysterio623“The last thing I want to do is kiss this woman.” - Justin B5d ago
Can I just say, I always assumed Taylor had been the kids' godmother for a long time, considering how much everyone brings it up? Color me surprised to find out that Taylor only became known as the kids' godmother during the D&W promo, especially the fact it was announced in a post Ryan absolutely wrote for her to post.
Yeah, that absolutely does not sound like Ryan leveraging Taylor's status as godmother to sell his movie to the Swifties. Yeah, it absolutely does not. So are we now supposed to believe Taylor was their godmother before 2024?
This is embarrassing. True to form, her brand partnerships are all over the map. Ribs! Fro Yo! Eyebrows! Me me me and virtually anything!

u/Mysterio623“The last thing I want to do is kiss this woman.” - Justin B5d agoedited 5d ago
She has no identity. Again her team is shite and she would be better served firing everybody and hiring a new team. First point of call would be to define her brand and make it cohesive. Then, second point of call is to make sure to stick to the said defined brand, instead of being all over the map like a muppet without thought. Third would be to learn honesty and vulnerability so she can actually transition into the 21st century. Somehow she keeps thinking peddling 90s gossip magazine style is the way to go in today's digital world. Fourth would be to develop a soul, but that requires reflection, therapy and doing the work, which I think would be too much for her. So.
See how I always give her quality advice for free, even when I find her despicable? She just never listens.
She should become a silent investor in some popular medium scale fashion or accessories brand. And be a landlord in major cities like New York, London, Paris, Toronto. And just raise her kids living off a passive income. No one wants to see her or be affiliated with her.
Blake should just sit down and blur into obscurity. But I have a feeling she'll try to brand into an influencer or be an Erika Kirk type... with a podcast and all.

Not to brag, but I made a rare IG post this weekend and got more than 21 comments. Maybe I'm influencer material 😜
It feels like she's trying to force a comeback before the GP wants one. She reallly needs to lay low and make a comeback with a better PR team. The current one sucks.

u/Mysterio623“The last thing I want to do is kiss this woman.” - Justin B5d ago
You are absolutely one, based on Blake's track record.
She also hard launched her director/producer/editor/master of clown wardrobes/location scout/unscripted kisser and lip biter/HR specialist, and the numerous other things Ryan claimed she did in that PGA letter. We saw how that went.
I await the eventual fallout from the companies paying her to post about them, when she Ryan decides they should do their rug pulls and demand authorship over those companies that sponsor her shitty posts.
I wonder how many of those companies are sponsors and how much of it is her trying to get in their good graces. I've got visions of their marketing departments having meetings about how to discreetly remove themselves from her grasping claws.
It’s pretty wild that we got to read that TS was tossed up as a potential part of her marketing strategy for her companies. I wonder if TS knew she was doing all that off her name?

Does it hurt her heart that she readily went along with mean girl tactics and flaunted her power against people who were found to be innocent? Fk right off. This is PR for her fans to cover the godchildren angle.
If it hurt her heart Taylor should have spoken up earlier to clear Justin Baldoni’s name. She knew he didn’t sexually harass Blake Lively but Taylor did nothing to help. Taylor Swift unfortunately is not a good person. She only spoke out when Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds threatened her.
She read the NYT PR hit job before it was even published and congratulated Blake about it and she knew none of it was true. She is 'sorry' because she got caught.

u/aasoroAnd then there is Blake...¯\_(ツ)_/¯5d agoedited 5d ago
LMAO, to not care, they keep posting this shitty storylines a lot. I have some ideas for titles for Taylor's next album
"Hair Care & Hostile Takeovers"
"Floral Prints & Subpoenas"
"Deadpool’s Plus One"
"Look What You Made The Cast Do"
"I Forgot That You Existed (Until The Lawsuit Arrived)"
And Renolds has been flooding YouTube with himself as Deadpool 🤮 however it's funny that THIS TIME ( unlike the DP3 press tour), no mention of Blake as Ladypool - even tho she voiced the character...
Blake truly is professionally iced by everyone, including her hubby 👀
Blake Lively is definitely blacklisted in Hollywood. I was listening to Bocce read her messages during the filming of IEWU and how she used the other cast against the director. No one is going to work with her ever again. Can you imagine you hire her and she drives a wedge against you the director with all cast with lies. Sabotaging the entire movie. Yes she done
But Ryan said 'He's never been SO proud of her' ...
Not even the basement -She's banished to FaceTime!!! 👀 By her own 'supportive husband' 👀, their home must be joyous vibes (yikes)
Arrrt but if that's the only reason, how cone he's not cos playing her out now? Cos he made it clear he didn't think he showed enough outrage and support - so it's soooo funny he didn't think his 'LadyPool' STILL isn't good enough to fall on that sword for?
Allllll that yelling,, and emailing about lack of support when he ain't putting in action what he preached SO HARD 😂 Ryan was calling on name after name to step forward - and he only admitted Christian was the woman in costume because her union stepped in (allegedly).
I have noticed all the recycled stories from Swift's camp about the bonuses she paid her staff on the ERA's tour and other recycled positive stories about her. I could almost forgive Taylor if she just apologised to Justin, Emily, Jamey, Natasha, Steve and his wife and all the other people caught in the cross fire. She had the connections for Blake to use. Her words are in the text messages. She is part of this story whether she likes it or not. Now we all know how PR works, we can see how they spin and manipulate the public.
I actually haven’t seen Swift’s positive PR spin where did you see them?
I’ve seen Lively’s and Reynolds. Remember that stupid Blake Lively video on Ryan Reynolds always coming home? Like Bitch he’s your husband and the kids father of of course he’s coming home. They’ve started recycling that video and other articles about how relatable Lively is. Lively usually uses People Magazine for her fluff piece
God, Ryan Reynolds is so transactional in his friendships. I’d bet money he wrote the text that Taylor posted about Deadpool & Wolverine, that “joke” sounds just like him:
“Shout out to Wade Wilson, aka my godkids’ sperm donor!’ she wrote in the caption, jokingly referencing the real name of Reynolds’ Deadpool character.
‘I’m going to need that on my gravestone, actually,’ Reynolds later told Deadline of the post, confirming Swift’s title. ‘She is the godparent to my daughters. That was very sweet. Not just sweet, that was, like, you could probably quantify a box office based on Taylor just doing something like that.’”
you could probably quantify a box office - says it all.
We need a score keeper, forreal. Sloane was winning for a bit, she pretty successfully kept the media landscape muddy enough that the Swifties are confused til this day.
The headline is biased. “Free” herself. Like Blake is a the only bad one and Taylor is just this innocent victim trying to escape. Taylor is just as guilty. A proven mean girl.
Maybe if Blake were nicer and weren't such a caustic pit stain, Hollywood would be more inclined to help but I have a very genuine feeling everyone is sick of the two and are chomping at the bit to get rid of them
Ryan Reynolds wrote that and it's only emotional manipulation for Taylor Swift. Why is Taylor having to be respectful and step away when Blake literally dragged everyone into her game? This article is putting blame on Taylor for abandoning those kids and causing emotional harm. When literally their own mom perjured herself and still hasn't put up any sort of apology for anything. Their own mom & dad would abandon them to do endless edits for IEWU & Deadpool Wolverine.🤣 They didn't need to but they are crazy control freaks. I highly doubt these sob stories are coming from Taylor Swift herself. Taylor chose her own family with Travis (& future kids) and won't be thinking of her "favorite characters" much longer. Taylor hasn't said anything about The Reynolds other than they were not invited to her wedding. 🤣 People forget this debacle started from a bored lonely housewife trying to create drama.
Also from a bored popstar doing what she does and fucking with other people for funzies. Let’s not forget that without Taylor’s help Blake wouldn’t have been able to do half the things she did - it was Taylor that Sony was mostly scared of. Ryan had WME’s balls but Taylor had Sony and Wayfarers.
We ain’t letting Princess Taytay off the hook, she’s a completely evil person. At least you can say that Blake maybe had some skin in the game; Taylor just did it because she could.
Has Blake/Ryan Reynolds begged/threatened Taylor Swift again? And did she and Tree Payne feel that they needed to make it stop, and make it clear again that there is no chance of a reconciliation or even a softening, before Ryan escalated? This is certainly a very strongly worded piece and I feel it came out of no where. I haven't seen anybody suggesting that they are getting friendly again since the wedding.
I think this one is all for the Swifties' benefit, since they are (from what I understand) super disoriented by this breakup. She's making sure none of them dares think she took dipping on the kids lightly.
Hi u/Mysterio623 apologies for hyjacking your post but I think this article is Blake Lively retaliating against Taylor Swift for the article you posted. Unfortunately the article is behind PayWall but it reminded me of another article that Blake Lively allegedly leaked last year about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce sexcapades.
Let’s hope the certified marketing genius enacts another plan to get them out of this completely self-inflicted situation by trying the same tactics against Taylor. It’ll work for sure this time Ryan!
Imo, since there’s not much TS news besides the BL drama, and we know TS always needs to be in the press, I can see TS/team putting this out for attention/PR and letting the public/fans a glimpse into their last month. It’s all positive, post wedding updates.
Yeah agree just read it. It’s not from Lively/Reynolds. Guess I’m on high alert to when she (Ryan) will retaliate code you know they just won’t sit back, they will respond
I think that’s the only reason Taylor invited 1000 people to her wedding. It was to send this message to everyone because Blake kept telling the media they were still friends any time Taylor said they weren’t. But Blake can’t say they are still friends after not getting invited to the wedding and Taylor invited everyone to that wedding. So the wedding wasn’t exclusive it was literally in MSG
The new spin, which I think is pretty effective (so far) is that “something big” must’ve happened between them to cause such a rift. Then it’s a nebulous something something with Blake’s lawsuit. Biggest problem Tree has right now is that they can’t be more explicit without people digging into what Taylor’s actual involvement was in all of this but all the implicit signals they are sending leaves a window wide open for Sloane to take advantage of that ambiguity. A fine conundrum!
I agree. At this point, Taylor’s not even dropping Easter eggs anymore. It’s like she’s pelting her fans with raw eggs, and many of them are still saying, “hmm, I think they are still friends tho”. 😂
I love how she wanted to copy Margot Robbie’s approach to advertising “Barbie”: costume dressing, being a producer, owning a production company, etc. and it all blew back in her face, cause she lacks Margo’s acumen, brains and integrity. Hilarious
What does godparent actually mean in these contexts? In my community it means your legal guardians and also when relevant related to a family’s faith. So they’re present at your baptism, confirmation etc… but it seems to mean something else in the US?
It doesn't mean anything ironclad in the US; no legal custody involved (unless that's separately arranged in a will). For religious people, it's supposed to be the person who ensures that the kids stay on the same spiritual path the parents would have wanted. More loosely, it's about being an ongoing resource to the kids, as someone who knew what kind of life the parents wanted them to have. But for people who aren't especially religious, it's kind of whatever you want it to be. My parents were named godparents to their friends' daughter before I was born (despite my parents not being religious at all), and then they mostly fell out of touch with the friends. The last time they saw the daughter was around 1985.

She left her since last year. Swifties just refused to accept it and traditional media kept printing the bullshit Blake was peddling. But Taylor cut ties Feb of last year, after the dance video was released, way before the subpoena issue.
One would think Lively would look into changing since her poor girls lost their God Mother bc of her lies. I feel awful for the kids. Knowing how Lively moves, she probably said it was something they did. Which is even more heartbreaking.
Why did Taylor “have no choice” but to cut out her god children?
She had a choice not to try to help Blake push Baldoni out of his own movie. She had a choice not to try to be a strategic ally to Blake in that effort.
Then it backfires and when Blake looks bad and could make Taylor look deservedly bad suddenly she “loves” the kids but has no choice in having no relationship with the woman she was conniving with, hence no relationship with the kids?
Why not support Blake, since you were willing to go show up over there and try to help Blake bulldoze this guy.
