Newly unsealed court documents have revealed private texts exchanged between Blake Lively and Taylor Swift, offering rare insight into the apparent strain in their longtime friendship.
In legal filings unsealed on January 20, Lively appeared to express regret over how her personal struggles affected their bond. “I felt like a bad friend lately because I was such a sad sack who only talked about my own s— for months,” she reportedly wrote in one message submitted to the court.
Another text included the line: “Miss my funny, dark, normal-speaking friend,” suggesting emotional distance between the two stars.
The revelations come amid Lively’s ongoing legal battle with actor Justin Baldoni. Multiple sources had previously told PEOPLE that the once-close friendship between Lively and Swift had “halted” during the legal drama.
While neither star has publicly addressed the texts, the filings have fueled speculation that the pressures surrounding Lively’s legal issues may have contributed to a fracture in their relationship.
