Is Taylor Swift's new song about Blake Lively?
Taylor Swift and Blake Lively, once one of Hollywood's most famous best friend duos, are reportedly no longer on speaking terms. The shift in their friendship comes at a time when Swift is preparing to release her highly anticipated new album The Life of a Showgirl, set for October, and speculation is mounting that one of its tracks may shed light on their current rift. According to People, a source close to the pair has revealed that the two have not been communicating in recent months. Their friendship, which dates back to 2014, first faced public scrutiny when Swift's name became tied to Blake Lively's legal battle with her It Ends With Us co-star and director Justin Baldoni. Baldoni's team at one point alleged that Swift had influenced him to accept rewrites proposed by Lively, a claim later dismissed. Although Swift was eventually dropped from the case after a subpoena was withdrawn, her name had already become entangled in the ongoing feud. Swift's representatives argued at the time that her involvement was used merely to generate tabloid headlines rather than to address facts in the case. Now, attention has turned to Swift's upcoming single Ruin the Friendship, which appears on her new record. Fans online are speculating that the song is inspired by her deteriorating relationship with Lively. The timing of the track announcement, just as rumours of a fallout surfaced, has only fuelled further theories across social media. The friendship between the pop icon and the actress once seemed unshakable. Swift is godmother to Lively and Ryan Reynolds' children, and their daughter James famously featured on Swift's Reputation track Gorgeous, while all three of their daughters were name-checked on her album Folklore. While neither Swift nor Lively has directly commented on the state of their relationship, multiple sources suggest the two are not in the same place they once were. Whether Ruin the Friendship offers clues remains to be seen, but Swift's fans are already dissecting every lyric ahead of the album's October 3 release.

The moment I knew: through tears, I confessed I didn't know how I was supposed to leave him
In 2007 I was preparing to move from Brisbane to the UK. I was 21, I'd just finished university and my family had been through a rough period. It was time for a new adventure, even if I was mildly anxious about leaving behind all my loved ones. When my best friend, Tegan, suggested a night out, it sounded exactly what I needed, but first she wanted to show me around her new lodgings on Enoggera army base. Tegan had told me stories about the other soldiers she was living with, but there was one guy who kept coming up – an artillery officer named 'Gorgeous'. Obviously, he had another name, but when Tegan introduced us, his nickname made a whole lot of sense. He was still in his cams (hello!) and despite never being interested in men in uniform before, my curiosity was piqued. We shared a cab into town and it became apparent that Gorgeous was easy to talk to, didn't hoard his smiles and liked to (kindly) tease his friends. Tick, tick, tick. After a few drinks and lots of flirting, we ended the night with several kisses. A few nights later, Gorgeous asked me to dinner. Soon it became clear I wasn't the only one with travel plans. While mine consisted of picking up casual jobs and making enough money to explore Europe for as long as I could, in a few months Gorgeous was deploying to Afghanistan. Even though whatever we might be starting came with a time limit, we began seeing each other multiple times a week. It didn't take me long to realise how much I liked him but I pushed those feelings aside because I had a plan – and catching feelings was not part of it. When Gorgeous asked if I'd like to go to Melbourne as his date to a fancy formal dinner for his unit, I said yes even though I knew it was a bad idea; I was already in too deep. After picking me up at the airport (he'd flown down a few days earlier), Gorgeous told me he had news: his deployment had been postponed and now he wouldn't be leaving until the end of the year. I was so relieved and at the same time devastated because he would remain in a place where I could be, yet my departure was only two weeks away. It felt impossible to keep denying what we had become to each other and how far we'd strayed from keeping things casual. I then met his parents, and his aunt and grandmother who were visiting from England. He showed me where he'd grown up and then we drove to Puckapunyal, an army training base, for the Regimental Dining In. Once the dinner was finished and we were back in his room in the barracks, I couldn't contain my feelings any longer. Through tears, I confessed I didn't know how I was supposed to leave him. And Gorgeous responded just like I could've predicted: calmly and gently. He held me as we talked everything through. I'd spent so long telling everyone it was time for me to have an adventure overseas that I'd almost ignored the adventure right in front of me. It didn't matter that we hadn't been together long. I didn't want to go. So I didn't. We've now been married for 16 years and have two beautiful children, and three of the best dogs have been part of our family. Gorgeous did eventually go to Afghanistan – twice, in fact – but we were able to meet up in Japan on his ROCL (relief out-of-country leave) during his first deployment. We spent two weeks skiing, visiting Disneyland and exploring Tokyo, Kyoto and Shiga Kogen. Since then, we've travelled together to the United States, the UK, Europe, New Zealand, Samoa and Fiji. Our story is by far the best adventure I've been on and I can't wait to see what happens next.

Gigi Gorgeous and Nats Getty announce divorce after six years of marriage and shared trans journey
Gigi Gorgeous and Nats Getty have officially confirmed their separation after six years of marriage. The news follows the filing of divorce papers in Los Angeles County Superior Court, with Getty citing 'irreconcilable differences' as the reason for the split. Gorgeous and Getty were married in July 2019 at Rosewood Miramar Beach in Montecito, California. The couple, who first met in 2016, have both publicly shared their transgender identities. Getty came out in 2021, stating, 'I stand proudly as a trans man,' while Gorgeous publicly transitioned in 2013 and legally adopted the name Gigi Loren Lazzarato in 2014. A representative for the pair shared that the split is amicable. 'While they have decided to end their marriage, they remain friends and have the utmost love and respect for each other,' the statement read. Gigi Gorgeous, a YouTube pioneer since 2008, has built a significant following as a beauty vlogger, model, and LGBTQ+ advocate. She boasts over 2.2 million Instagram followers and more than 130,000 TikTok fans. Recently, she marked the end of Pride Month as the Grand Marshal of the Toronto parade, sharing, 'My hometown doesn't just give me energy. The people here ARE the energy!' Getty, heir to the Getty oil fortune and godchild of California Governor Gavin Newsom, filed for divorce listing their separation date as February 27, 2025. According to TMZ, Gorgeous is expected to receive spousal support under the couple's premarital agreement. The couple were last seen together publicly at events in late 2023 and early 2024.

Fans Emotional Over Taylor Swift's Personal Message on Monday
Fans Emotional Over Taylor Swift's Personal Message on Monday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. After spending several months of keeping a low profile with her boyfriend, Kansas Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift broke her social media silence to announce she finally reclaimed her entire music catalog. Swift wrote after buying the master recordings from albums she released between 2006 and 2017, "I've been bursting into tears of joy at random intervals ever since I found out that this is really happening. I really get to say these words: All of the music I've ever made... now belongs... to me. "All I've ever wanted was the opportunity to work hard enough to be able to one day purchase my music outright with no strings attached, no partnership, with full autonomy. "I will be forever grateful to everyone at Shamrock Capital for being the first people to ever offer this to me." Fans of Swifties were beyond thrilled for the 14-time Grammy winner. After years of feeling guilty for listening to her 2006 self-titled debut and 2017's "Reputation," the two albums Swift never re-recorded under the "Taylor's Version" tag, they blew up on all streaming outlets. "Reputation" immediately soared to No. 1 on iTunes. The album earned its biggest streaming day on Spotify since its release 8 years ago with 9.9 million streams in one day. Fans received a special personal message from the "Gorgeous" singer saying, "Hey, this is Taylor Swift. Listen to my entire catalog on Amazon Music Unlimited." One fan posted the recording on June 2 and wrote, "Taylor's message for Amazon Music made me so emotional 🥹🤍 they're homeeee." One person commented, "Just ask Alexa to play Taylor Swift or any album, it should give you the message 🥹. One Swiftie gushed, "you can ever hear the happiness in her voice 🥹🫶🏻." An X user posted, "BABY 🥲🥲🥲."This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 2, 2025, where it first appeared.
