Blake Lively fears Taylor Swift's musical payback amid legal fallout

Blake Lively and Taylor Swift once had one of Hollywood's most beloved friendships, but everything changed during Lively's lawsuit against her 'It Ends With Us' co-star and director, Justin Baldoni, which was quite public in nature. As the case deepened, and Swift's name appeared in court documents, subsequently the pop star has been quite distant from Lively and many fans have speculated there is a low-key but considerable rift. Blake Lively reportedly scrambles to save their friendship Blake Lively is reportedly doing everything she can to salvage her once-close friendship with Taylor Swift, according to insiders quoted by RadarOnline. One source revealed that Lively has confided in friends, saying, 'I won't let Taylor cut me off.' The tension allegedly stems from Swift being pulled into Lively's legal battle with 'It Ends With Us' director Justin Baldoni. Since then, the pop icon has quietly distanced herself, leaving Lively on the outside of Swift's famously tight inner circle. According to Rob Shuter's #ShutterScoop, Blake Lively's once-close bond with Taylor Swift has taken a sharp turn. 'She went from being Taylor's inner-circle icon to a ghosted contact,' an insider revealed. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo The source added pointedly, 'With Taylor, when you're out… you're a verse away from being dragged.' Another mutual friend suggested Lively is already anxious about what Swift might pen next: 'Blake's smart enough to hear the lyrics before they drop. And she's scared they'll never rhyme with 'betrayal''. Swift's silence speaks volumes Although Blake Lively and Taylor Swift haven't said anything publicly regarding the supposed rift, the tension has been hard to overlook. Swift has been spotted at multiple high-profile functions with Travis Kelce, and Lively has been conspicuously absent. Considering Swift's penchant for memorializing her personal life in music, it wouldn't be surprising if the unraveling of their friend group is only indirect inspiration for her next album. Swift's circle shrinks and Blake Lively may be the next verse Although Travis Kelce has not commented on the reverberations, it is obvious the circle surrounding Taylor Swift has seen a radical degree of change. The once crowded social space that included friends like Blake Lively, has increasingly become curated, and minuscule. Considering Swift's track record for morphing personal pain into popular songs, Lively's worry about a pointed lyric seems reasonable. There is no official word on when Swift is releasing her next musical chapter, but of late, sources are advising Lively to prepare for fallout. If previous examples are any indication, Lively might not just be cut out—she might be written in, and maybe not in the nicest light.

Taylor Swift makes more from one concert than BlackRock CEO's annual salary. Here's how much pop singer charges

BlackRock is one of the world's largest asset management companies. Founded in 1988, its client list boasts of names like Microsoft and Credit Suisse. Larry Fink (L) has been BlackRock's CEO since 1988. Taylor Swift (R) became the world's richest female musician in 2024.(X/@0xMocca, taylorswift13) Naturally, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, is compensated handsomely for helming a company that is spread across 30 countries. In fact, in 2024, Fink's total compensation was $36.7 million! On the other hand, Taylor Swift is a pop sensation, whose shows always sell out, and Swifties always line up to ensure her latest music keeps flying off the shelves. But, would you believe that Taylor Swift makes more from one concert than the BlackRock CEO's salary for one year? Here's the breakdown. Taylor Swift's earnings vs BlackRock CEO's salary: Explained Taylor Swift has 12 No.1 hits, and 59 songs among the top 10 on Billboard's charts. She is no stranger to popularity, having first made a mark with country music, before effortlessly transitioning to pop. The Shake it Off singer also set records with her Eras tour, which reportedly grossed over $3.2 billion, making it the most lucrative tour in the history of American music. However, matching a top company CEO's pay is no joking matter. Fortune reported that Fink's base salary for the year is $1.5 million. His handsome pay package is made up of other components like cash bonus and stock awards. Combining these, Fink made $36.7 million – 33 per cent more than what he got the year before. If we are to match just the base salary, then Taylor Swift is far ahead! During her Eras tour, it was reported that each show fetched her something in the ballpark of $13.6 million. Meanwhile, reports state that Swift was paid around $3 million per performance for six shows in Singapore exclusively. So, if we are to take her exclusive performances, she'd still be making double the BlackRock CEO's annual base pay from just one performance. If we take her tour concerts, then that amount is exponentially higher. Even if we are to take the BlackRock CEO's full pay package, which is an eye-watering $36.7 million, then it would be only fair to compare it to what Swift makes from a concert tour. Even if we keep aside the record-smashing Eras tour, Taylor Swift makes more from her concert tours. Case in point: The Fearless tour, which was Swift's debut concert tour grossed $66.5 million. That's over $30 million more than the BlackRock CEO's total package! And, despite Larry Fink being 72 years old, and having acted as BlackRock's CEO since 1988, he has amassed a $1.3 billion net worth while Swift, the 35-year-old artist from Pennsylvania, already sits on $1.6 billion. Swift's rise has been meteoric, with Forbes reporting in 2024 that she's become the world's richest female musician.
