Is their friendship in danger? Blake Lively‘s relationship with Taylor Swift has definitely been rocky lately. The It Ends With Us actress wasn’t seen with the singer’s usual Super Bowl posse, and it’s raising some questions.

Taylor Swift was reportedly roped into the Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively drama by her friend. The tension arose after text messages emerged in Justin Baldoni’s countersuit against Lively, where the actress allegedly referred to Swift as one of her “dragons” alongside husband Ryan Reynolds. Sources close to Swift told TMZ she was “royally pissed off” about being characterized this way, especially since she “never had a dog in the fight.”

However, reports might be conflicted. Page Six reports that while Swift and Lively’s friendship remains intact, the pop star “can’t help but feel used” by the situation and “doesn’t appreciate being referred to as one of Blake’s dragons.”

Multiple sources have confirmed that the Gossip Girl alum won’t be joining Swift’s star-studded Super Bowl celebration this year, marking a significant shift from last year when Lively and husband Ryan Reynolds were among Swift’s special guests. Minutes into the Super Bowl it’s apparent that Swift brought her usual entourage of Ice Spice and Haim.

How did Blake Lively feel about Taylor Swift’s Super Bowl snub?

A source told the DailyMail that there’s no bad blood between the two because of the Super Bowl. “Taylor is not shading Blake or is she trying to teach her a lesson. It isn’t like that. Even if Taylor did invite Blake, Blake would not come,’ the insider said. “She would never want to make Taylor’s big night – where she is going to see the love of her life play in another Super Bowl – about her. Blake would not want to overshadow Taylor ever.”

It seems like with all the Justin Baldoni drama, Lively is trying to hide from the lime light. “Blake has not left the house since this started practically,” another source told the site. “Taylor wants nothing to do with this trial and court case.’
