Blake Lively quietly reached out to Taylor Swift for her birthday this year, sources tell me. Unlike the usual public social media shoutouts, the message was private, sent directly to Taylor using contacts the two have shared for years.
“Blake’s message was short and hopeful,” an insider said. “She didn’t expect anything back. She just couldn’t let the day go by without saying something.”
The outreach comes despite the history between the two stars. Sources note that Taylor has not changed her phone number or email since their falling out.
“She still has Taylor’s direct contacts,” another source confirmed. “It was very personal, not for show. Blake wanted to acknowledge the day without any pressure or expectation.”
Swift is celebrating turning 36, with fans and media alike marking the occasion alongside mentions of her albums Folklore, Midnights, and her ongoing Eras Tour.
“It was a thoughtful gesture,” the insider added. “Blake didn’t want to make it public or dramatic — just a sincere happy birthday.”
Even after recent tensions, the outreach highlights a quiet, personal connection between two former longtime friends.
Cheers,

Blake and MMarkle are truly birds of a feather. She “ didn’t want to make it public “, but she makes it public saying it was “ private “. These two truly deserve their comeuppance!
Taylor Swift has made it UNMISTAKABLY CLEAR that her friendship with Blake Lively is OVER, DONE, FINIS, END OF STORY!
Blake continuing to email Taylor, or reach out to her in any way, is downright STALKERISH at this point. It's obsessive and NOT OKAY. There is NO EXCUSE or JUSTIFICATION for it. Taylor made a decision & drew a line, yet Blake Lively REFUSES to accept it. This is no different than breaking up with a boyfriend who then relentlessly continues to email/text/call, trying to force contact and some sort of a relationship. Blake is only further trying to manipulate Taylor after abusing Taylor's trust and friendship. This only further proves how TOXIC Blake LIEvely actually is. She needs to move on with her life and accept her reality - Taylor Swift no longer wants to be her friend (and millions of us are no longer her fans).
