Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds were recently seen at their daughter Betty's horse show in Lake Placid, New York, on Thursday.

The couple's appearance occurred while Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were holding their star-studded rehearsal dinner in New York City, an event Lively and Reynolds notably missed.

Lively, 38, and Reynolds, 49, were photographed in casual attire, supporting their 6-year-old daughter, who reportedly placed second in the competition.

Lively wore a halter top and jean shorts, while Reynolds opted for a white T-shirt, khaki pants, and a tan hat.

Their absence from Swift's wedding festivities has drawn attention, particularly given previous reports of a strain in the friendship between Lively and Swift.

According to sources, Lively was not extended an invitation to Swift's nuptials.

This development matters to fans because it suggests a significant shift in the public friendship between two prominent celebrities.

The reported rift between the two friends is said to stem from Lively's legal dispute with Justin Baldoni, her co-star and director in the film "It Ends With Us." Sources previously told Page Six that Swift felt her name was inadvertently drawn into the lawsuits, which concluded with a settlement in May.

An insider stated that Swift "needs space" from Lively and felt like a "pawn" in the situation, adding that Swift was "really hurt by this whole situation."

While Lively was spotted grocery shopping solo last month during Swift's bachelorette weekend, Swift's other A-list friends, including Selena Gomez, Gigi Hadid, and Erin Andrews, were seen arriving at the rehearsal dinner at Madison Square Garden.

The dinner, which ran from 6 p.m.

to 10:30 p.m., precedes a larger wedding celebration expected to host over 1,000 guests.

The main ceremony is scheduled for Friday at 5:30 p.m.

ET, with a reception following until early Saturday morning.

Page Six also reported that Swift and Kelce had already privately exchanged vows before their lavish public celebration.
