Blake Lively finds herself in a poignant position, left high and dry without a single soul to label as a genuine friend, following Taylor Swift's decisive severing of all ties. The 37-year-old actress harbors a "desperate" yearning for the pop megastar to extend forgiveness and for their once-blooming friendship to flourish anew.
In the meantime, the former 'Gossip Girl' star has embarked on a mission to sway their mutual acquaintances into persuading Swift to grant Lively a second chance, as revealed by an insider to Heatworld magazine. "Blake clings to a slender hope that Taylor will extend her olive branch, albeit with no certainty of regaining her place in Swift's inner sanctum. Communication channels, though open, are fraught with uncertainty, for once Taylor severs ties, it often marks an eternal parting. Yet, Blake remains steadfast in her resolve. Her affection for Taylor runs deep, her longing intense, and she is willing to go to any lengths to mend their rift," shared the insider.
Regarding Lively's overtures to their shared friends, the insider elaborated, "Blake has assembled an array of individuals to champion her cause, enlisting the help of mutual friend Hugh Jackman, whom many perceive as the peacemaker par excellence. Salma Hayek has also emerged as a pillar of support in this endeavor."
However, "within Blake's social circle, the majority have aligned with Taylor. It seems improbable that Blake will ever reclaim the closeness she once shared with figures like Gigi Hadid, Cara Delevingne, and Selena Gomez. They feigned camaraderie, but their true colors surfaced when Taylor's feelings were hurt. This betrayal is a wound that Blake will carry with her indefinitely."
