Zoe Kazan has apparently speculated as to why Blake Lively I didn’t receive an invitation from my former buddy Taylor Swift‘s wedding.
“I think she (Swift) didn’t invite *her* (Lively) because she was at the end of her marriage plan, blocking access to her first big topic,” he said Big sick Star, 42, wrote about X on Tuesday, July 7th. “Instead of advocating for her own divorce, she opens the next chapter of interpersonal drama through female friendship.”
Us weekly confirmed by multiple sources ahead of Swift’s wedding on Friday, July 3, at Madison Square Garden Travis Kelcethat Lively, 38, did not receive an invitation to the wedding in New York City.
Kazan’s post sparked backlash from fans of Swift, 36, who disagreed, leading to the actress defending her stance in a subsequent X-post published three hours after the original. “I find it strange that this is being read so critically! She has explicitly made her love life the subject of her work and has produced many good songs. Now she needs a new subject as a storyteller,” Kazan wrote.
She then concluded: “What a tricky fan base.”
Kazan’s theory caused further excitement on Reddit when a fan questioned her motive. “Do they have beef? Cause this is a stone cold defeat,” one Swifty wrote, while another amused social media user commented: “Zoe Kazan being involved was unexpected but it’s interesting lol.”

“It would be a media frenzy,” the source said Us at the time. “She also understands that there isn’t the same level of friendship between her and Taylor as there used to be. She’s not upset about not being invited, but of course she would like to be there to support her and Travis.”
Blake Lively’s lawyer shares insight into her mindset as her personal lyrics with Taylor Swift are released. When asked if Lively, 38, was “upset” that friends like Swift, 36, were being “drawn into” her legal drama with Justin Baldoni, lawyer Sigrid McCawley said she had “done everything she could to protect her friends from (…)”
Regarding the former friends’ current situation, the insider said: “They haven’t been in touch for several months and their most recent correspondence consisted of just a few occasional text messages. That’s the extent of their friendship.”
Swift and Lively severed their close ties after the pop star’s name was dragged into Lively’s controversial dispute with Baldoni, 42. Lively and Baldoni settled in May after an 18-month legal saga that began in December 2024 when Lively filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against Baldoni.
As part of Lively’s ongoing trial, personal text messages sent between Swift and Lively have been made public, which allegedly left Swift feeling “exposed and somewhat violated,” according to a source she has spoken to Us in January.
