Blake Lively just earned a massive professional honor, being named to TIME magazine’s prestigious list of the 100 Most Influential People in the World for 2025. But as the internet buzzed over her emotional post and glowing tribute by civil rights icon Sherrilyn Ifill , fans couldn’t help but notice one glaring omission: Taylor Swift . The pop superstar, who has long been one of Blake Lively’s closest celebrity friends, hasn’t liked, commented, or even acknowledged the honor publicly and in Swift-world, silence is never just silence, it’s often the start of a storm.
Blake Lively celebrates her TIME100 milestone with an emotional post amid legal battle with Justin Baldoni
Actress Blake Lively shared her excitement and gratitude in an Instagram post after being named one of TIME's most influential people, calling it “one of the most surreal and meaningful moments of my life.” She thanked TIME and Sherrilyn Ifill, who authored her profile, and gave a nod to her 10-year-old self, saying she would have been “blown away.” The recognition comes at a complicated time for the It Ends with Us star, who is currently stuck in a legal battle with director Justin Baldoni making this acknowledgment all the more significant.
Taylor Swift, known for publicly supporting her inner circle has remained completely silent on the honor
While fans and fellow celebrities showered Blake Lively with love, Taylor Swift has remained entirely quiet about the milestone. The two stars have been close for nearly a decade. Swift even featured the names of Lively’s children in her music and cast her husband, Ryan Reynolds , in projects. But despite their deep history, there has been no public gesture, no repost, not even a like from Taylor Swift. For someone known to go all out celebrating her inner circle’s wins, who recently broke her instagram break to support her dear friend Selena’s new album, this silence stands out.
Speculation is swirling online, with fans debating whether Taylor Swift is purposely keeping her distance. One popular theory? That Swift doesn’t want to be publicly tied to the ongoing legal dispute between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. Others believe it could hint at a deeper personal fallout between the two.

As of now, Taylor Swift hasn’t issued any public statement or acknowledgment about Blake Lively’s TIME100 honor. Whether she’s planning a private celebration, a delayed shoutout, or simply staying away from controversy remains unknown.
