Swift maintains distance from Lively amid the legal drama

A source told the media outlet, “Everyone has heard about this issue with Taylor and Blake, so there is a sense of the squad circling the wagons.” Another source claimed that Swift has not actually distanced herself from Lively. However, the singer was recently spotted having dinner with her longtime friend Selena Gomez in Beverly Hills, sparking rumours that she might be upset over the Gossip Girl alum’s actions.

An insider explained to the news outlet, “Selena rushed to arrange a girls' night out for the two of them. She wanted to show her solidarity, but no doubt she was staking her claim. All of Taylor's friends have been reaching out to make plans, it's just a matter of whether she accepts or not.” Soon after, Swift was spotted dining in New Orleans with Danielle and Alana Haim.
