Despite her “open invite” approach, Taylor Swift has strategically left Blake Lively off the list, insiders tell RadarOnline. The Grammy-winning superstar wants to avoid even a whiff of feud rumors as she prepares for her highly anticipated nuptials to NFL star Travis Kelce, even if it means shutting out former inner-circle favorites. Swift confirmed the wedding will be a destination affair, but made clear the date is still “a way off.”
I’m just doing the album thing now, which is a big thing. And then I think the wedding is what happens after that in the scheme of the planning, but I’m so excited about it.
Still, she hinted at an expansive guest list:
I know it’s going to be fun to plan because I think the only stressful wedding is when you have a small amount of space for guests… Everyone in my bubble will be invited…
But sources reveal that Lively, once Swift’s go-to confidante, “definitely” won’t receive an invitation. “Taylor wants this wedding to be completely drama-free,” said one insider. “Blake won’t be among them. Things have cooled between them.” So, who’s in, who’s out, and who’s losing sleep over it?

Despite publicly congratulating the couple and even liking Taylor Swift’s engagement post on Instagram, sources say Meghan Markle felt “livid” that the announcement hijacked the spotlight from her own business launches (per RadarOnline).
On the same day Swift posted, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” Markle debuted Season 2 of With Love, Meghan on Netflix and dropped a new collection from her lifestyle brand As Ever, both of which were promptly eclipsed.

Meghan was raging behind closed doors that her headlines were ‘stolen’ by the singer – but she still liked Taylor’s post to look gracious. It was through gritted teeth, no question.
Now, the Duchess of Sussex is “already panicking” about whether she’ll be left out of what many are calling the most important celebrity wedding in years. The insider emphasized:
Missing out on the biggest celebrity event of the decade would be a nightmare for her image.
If she’s snubbed, she’ll take it as a personal insult.
Markle’s icy relations with Swift reportedly date back to when the singer posed backstage with Prince William, Prince George, and Princess Charlotte, a photo-op Markle allegedly saw “like she was being deliberately frozen out”.
“She sees Taylor as both an ally and a rival,” claimed one royal insider. She’s privately telling friends she’s “happy for Taylor” but is counting the days until the final guest list leaks.
