As Taylor Swift<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Travis Kelce<\/a> prepare to tie the knot in New York City, her longtime friend Blake Lively<\/a> and\u00a0husband Ryan Reynolds<\/a> are spending time with their family.<\/p>\n Lively, 38, and Reynolds, 49, were spotted in Lake Placid, New York on Thursday, July 2, according to photos posted by TMZ<\/a>.<\/p>\n In the photos, the pair cheered on their daughter Betty, 6, as she competed in a horse show at a local farm, nearly 300 miles away from Swift’s wedding festivities at Madison Square Garden. Betty competed in a number of events throughout the day, placing first and second.<\/p>\n Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift Meanwhile in the city, a number of celebrity guests were seen arriving at Madison Square Garden for what is believed to be Swift and Kelce’s rehearsal dinner<\/a>.<\/p>\n Pals like Selena Gomez, Lena Dunham<\/a>, Jack Antonoff<\/a>, Abigail Anderson<\/a>, Erin Andrews<\/a>, Charissa Thompson<\/a>, Greg Olsen<\/a> and Aric Jones<\/a> all attended the night’s event.<\/p>\n The popstar and NFL player’s wedding comes nearly a year after they announced their engagement<\/a> on Aug. 26, 2025.<\/p>\n The couple’s romance began after Kelce revealed that he tried to give Swift a\u00a0friendship bracelet<\/a>\u00a0with his phone number on it at one of her Eras Tour concerts. Although he was unsuccessful, he publicly declared his interest in Swift on his\u00a0New Heights\u00a0podcast in July 2023, and they began seeing each other shortly afterwards.<\/p>\n Three months later, in October 2023, the pair confirmed their romance when\u00a0they stepped out holding hands<\/a>\u00a0at a\u00a0Saturday Night Live\u00a0afterparty<\/a>. In June 2025, Swift and Kelce made their\u00a0red carpet debut<\/a> and two months later, on Aug. 26, they revealed they were engaged in a joint\u00a0Instagram post<\/a>.<\/p>\n As Swift and Kelce’s relationship evolved, she and Lively began to distance themselves amid Lively’s\u00a0legal battle<\/a>\u00a0with\u00a0It Ends With Us<\/a>\u00a0costar\u00a0Justin Baldoni<\/a>.<\/p>\n Before Lively and Swift’s decade-long\u00a0friendship “halted,<\/a>” according to a source, they remained close, and Swift is godmother to Lively and Reynolds’ three daughters James, 11, Inez, 9, and Betty. Swift has even featured the kids in her music.<\/p>\n James has a voice cameo<\/a>\u00a0in Swift’s\u00a0Reputation\u00a0track “Gorgeous,” while\u00a0James, Inez, and Betty are all named-dropped in\u00a0Folklore<\/a>. In May 2023, Lively brought James and Inez along to the Eras Tour as they proudly supported their “aunt” Taylor.<\/p>\n Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds But in May 2025, a source told PEOPLE that the two were “taking some space” from one another. The reports of the shift in the friendship came after Swift was served a subpoena<\/a>\u00a0from Baldoni’s lawyers.<\/p>\n In August 2025, a source told PEOPLE: “Taylor and Blake aren’t speaking<\/a>.” In January 2026, Swift and Lively’s private text messages\u00a0were unsealed due to the legal dispute, leaving Swift wanting to “stay away from the drama<\/a>,” a source told PEOPLE.<\/p>\n The source said that Swift \u201cwas just being a friend to Blake, and it\u2019s turned into something bigger than she ever expected. She never thought private messages would become public.”<\/p>\n Read the original article on People<\/a><\/p>\n![\"Travis](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/fa1acea751a4313c3a2bf6543fe38930.jpeg\"\/)
