Blake Lively Spotted in Lake Placid While Swift Holds Madison Square Garden Wedding Events

Her absence from New York spotlights a rift rooted in a legal dispute that produced subpoenas and unsealed private texts.

Overview

  • Photographs published July 2 show Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds in Lake Placid supporting their daughter Betty at a local horse show, with outlets reporting small contest placings for the child.
  • Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce staged wedding-related events at Madison Square Garden where multiple celebrities were seen arriving for a rehearsal-dinner–style gathering.
  • Reporting from several outlets says Swift was subpoenaed in Blake Lively’s legal fight with Justin Baldoni and that the subpoena was later withdrawn.
  • Unsealed private texts between Swift and Lively made public in January 2026 are reported to have deepened the distance between them, and some reports say Lively was not invited to the wedding celebrations though that detail remains unconfirmed.
  • The friendship’s history increases public scrutiny of social signals around the wedding, and the dispute could shape how both families manage publicity and private relationships going forward.
