Blake Lively was photographed in Lake Placid, New York, on Thursday, July 2, with Ryan Reynolds and family—cheering a daughter at a horse show—while reports say she is not attending Taylor Swift’s wedding festivities in New York City.
Blake Lively wasn’t anywhere near Madison Square Garden when Taylor Swift’s wedding weekend was in full swing in New York City.
Photos obtained by TMZ show Blake. along with husband Ryan Reynolds and their family. in Lake Placid. New York on Thursday (July 2). cheering on one of their daughters at a horse show. The details place the couple and their children firmly outside the usual wedding-buzz orbit—Lake Placid sits closer to the Canadian border than to New York City.
Getting from Lake Placid to New York City is close to a nearly 5-hour drive, which adds weight to the idea that Blake simply isn’t in the city for the main events. The report also notes that it has been said Blake is reportedly not attending Taylor Swift’s wedding.
For years, Blake and Taylor Swift were best friends for more than a decade. But it has also been reported that the pair had a falling out amid the It Ends With Us scandal. and that Blake was not invited to the wedding. Nothing has been confirmed. and Blake could technically make it back to New York City in time for the Friday night wedding ceremony at Madison Square Garden. Even so. the photos point to a different holiday-weekend plan—her family appears to be spending the time out of the city.
Taylor Swift and her fiancé Travis Kelce hosted an intimate rehearsal dinner within Madison Square Garden. and the wedding festivities were building around that stop. The circumstances leave one key tension hanging over the weekend: whether any invitation drama kept Blake away—or whether she and her family just stayed close to home as the New York celebrations played out.

So she’s in Canada-border mode and not at the wedding??
I mean… TMZ says she’s not going, so that’s basically confirmed in my book. 5 hour drive or not, rich people can teleport if they really want lol.
Wait but didn’t they have a “falling out” because of that It Ends With Us thing? Like is that why she wasn’t invited or is this all just media making stuff up? Also why does it mention Madison Square Garden like that’s where everything happens… if it’s “Friday night” she could totally just pop in.
Horse show day vs wedding weekend… seems like a PR move either way. Like if she was really besties for years, I don’t get the drama. And “could technically make it back” is the funniest part, like they’ll show up at the last second for attention. Honestly I’m just confused why they keep dragging the It Ends With Us scandal into Taylor’s wedding, feels unrelated but then again everything is connected now.
