As the “22” hitmaker’s wedding day approached, speculation abounded over whether she and Lively would reconcile in time for her to attend. Swift and Lively were rumored to have fallen out over the actor’s legal battle with her “It Ends With Us” director and co-star, Justin Baldoni. Reports suggested that Lively hadn’t received an invite to Swift’s wedding after she and husband Ryan Reynolds were photographed at a horse show in Lake Placid on the eve of the ceremony. Lively’s wedding snub cuts even deeper with another former bestie surprisingly making the guest list: Karlie Kloss. Aside from the supermodel, several other members of Swift’s famous girl squad were in attendance, including Selena Gomez, Gigi Hadid, Lena Dunham, and Zoë Kravitz.
