Taylor Swift fans think there’s one surprising snub on the horizon when it comes to her upcoming wedding to fiancé Travis Kelce: her own godchildren.
The speculation comes amid the pop star’s recent engagement and rumored fallout with Blake Lively, 38, amid the It Ends with Us star’s legal battle with Justin Baldoni.
Fans are convinced that the actress’ strained relationship with the singer could prevent her children, James, 10, Inez, 8, Betty, 5, and Olin, 2, from playing any part in the highly-anticipated nuptials.
One viral comment on Reddit captured the tone of the debate: ‘[Blake] will not be invited to this wedding. To the godmother of her children’s wedding. Let that sink in.’
‘People in the industry will look at that and remember that,’ the commenter stressed. ‘Her silence is all you need to see.’
Another X user wrote: ‘I feel so sad about this. I honestly wish that their friendship was still okay, and that Taylor’s godchildren could celebrate too.’

Others suggested Lively may have just directly sent her congratulations to Swift and Kelce.
‘I’m sure she messaged her privately,’ one fan wrote.

Another quipped in response: ‘And I hope Taylor gave her a courtesy thumbs up and left it at that.’
Daily Mail has reached out to Lively’s representatives for comment, but they have not yet responded.
The tension has only seemingly escalated in recent weeks after Swift, and Kelce, both 35, announced their engagement on Tuesday — just hours after Lively celebrated her birthday.
The timing was not lost on fans, many of whom noted that while Swift’s famous inner circle, including Gigi Hadid, Karlie Kloss and Cara Delevingne, rushed to publicly like and comment on her post, but Lively did not.
Instead, she spent the day re-posting dozens of birthday tributes to her Instagram Stories, while pointedly ignoring Swift’s milestone announcement.
Swift, for her part, did not share any birthday wishes for Lively, choosing instead to unveil the seventh cover of her upcoming album The Life of a Showgirl.

Social media users branded the dynamic ‘awkward’ and ‘telling.’
One wrote on X, formerly Twitter: ‘Dude, what is going on between Blake and Taylor? Also, why did Taylor choose to announce engagement around Blake Lively’s birthday?’
‘That friendship is really over huh,’ another speculated, while a third admitted: ‘Blake Lively posting nothing about Taylor Swift’s engagement honestly makes me sad.’
Swift previously name-dropped Lively and Reynolds’ three daughters on her Folklore album, just how closely their lives were once intertwined.
Swift, whose hit song My Tears Ricochet was featured on the soundtrack of the 2024 film It Ends With Us, was pulled into the rollercoaster saga earlier this year when Baldoni filed a $400million countersuit accusing Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds of defamation.
Explosive text messages from Baldoni’s complaint revealed Lively had referred to the superstar singer and her husband, as her ‘dragons’ in an alleged bid to intimidate him over their ill-fated flick It Ends With Us.

Baldoni also claimed that Swift was present at a pivotal meeting about the movie, held by Lively and Reynolds at their New York penthouse.
For her part, a source close to Swift has said she simply arrived to find the meeting underway and had no involvement.
In January, an insider told Daily Mail: ‘Her friends also think that Blake’s “I’m Khaleesi, and like her, I happen to have dragons” text to Justin was uncool and unnecessary because she was essentially used as an intimidation tactic. She was referred to as some kind of pet or possession.’
Since then, Swift has reportedly been trying to distance herself from the scandal as well as her friendship with Lively.
Those efforts have included icing Lively out of her inner circle while boyfriend Travis Kelce has unfollowed Reynolds on Instagram.
It is unknown if Swift’s other godchild, Leo Thames Newman, the son of Jaime King, will be invited
It is unknown if Swift’s other godchild, Leo Thames Newman, the son of Jaime King, will be invited.
In March, a source told The U.S. Sun that Swift and King do not have ‘regular contact.’
‘Taylor and Jaime are not close anymore and don’t talk but there is still love,’ the insider claimed.
It was also revealed that the Bad Blood songstress will still send presents to Leo and would ‘be there in a heartbeat’ if she needed to be.
‘She has always taken her godmother role and duties very seriously and is the most caring and thoughtful person Jaime could’ve asked to be there for Leo.’
The source continued, ‘But their relationship is a lot different now than it was back when Jaime asked Taylor to be his godmother. There is no regular contact.’

Swift and King developed a close friendship during the 2010s.
In 2014, Jaime’s then-husband Kyle Newman notably directed the music video for Taylor’s hit track Style off her 1989 album.
The following year, the Love Story songstress became Leo’s godmother – which the Hart Of Dixie actress later opened up about.
During an interview with E! News in 2015, Jaime explained, ‘I always thought if I were to have another child that she would be the ideal godmother because the way she not only treats me but the way she treats other human beings.
‘She’s so loving and so giving and so generous and she does everything from her heart and she’s incredibly brave and authentic. It’s a very rare thing to come across.’
King further added at the time, ‘I know that [our baby] will always have a very good person and role model through her.’
