Blake Lively's Upstate Getaway Amid Taylor Swift's Big Day

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds were in Upstate New York on July 2, approximately four-and-a-half hours from New York City. The couple was in Lake Placid, where they watched their daughter Betty compete in a horse show. This event took place as numerous celebrities arrived in the city for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding weekend.

While it remains uncertain if Lively and Reynolds will attend Swift's wedding, their whereabouts have drawn attention. Reports suggest Lively and Swift's friendship may have cooled amid Lively's legal issues, which began in December 2024 and were settled on May 4. Despite this, a large celebration with around 1,000 guests is planned for July 3.

Swift's song "Betty" is notably named after Lively's daughter. The potential wedding festivities are expected to involve around 100 of Kelce and Swift's closest friends on July 2, followed by a larger event at Madison Square Garden on July 3. This larger celebration is scheduled to commence at 5 p.m. and extend into the early hours of July 4, necessitating several block closures in Manhattan.
