Blake Lively enjoyed a rare night out in New York City over the weekend after a report surfaced that she has not spoken to Taylor Swift since her Justin Baldoni lawsuit began in December 2024.
The last time Lively and Swift was pictured together was in October 2024.
The 38-year-old actress took to Instagram to reflect on spending time with the cast of Broadway’s Hamilton. Via Instagram Stories, she shared multiple photos with her 42.4 million followers, and added gushing captions.
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants sensation posed with the stars of the show and wrote, ‘I cannot stop thinking about this current cast of @hamiltonmusical.’
She then encouraged her fans to ‘run, run, run to see them while you still can.’
Highlighting multihyphenate artist Lin-Manuel Miranda, she said, ‘Also. @lin_manuel’s brain must be studied. This man. my word. I can’t fathom how one person can hold so much brilliance, heart, intelligence, relatability, possibility, dexterity, and kindness.’

Blake continued, ‘He’s everything you would hope in person, and then 1000x more. I adore you, my friend.’
She added, ‘Your brain is a public service to all of our happiness,’ and listed his famous works as she thanked him for Hamilton, Moana, and In The Heights.
‘You are one of one. How lucky we are to be alive right now, alongside you,’ she wrote.
Included in the set of images was a snapshot with Leslie Odom, Jr., 44.
In another picture with one of the play’s actresses, the silver screen siren couldn’t contain her excitement as she flashed her megawatt smile.
She wrote, ‘I have no chill,’ while grinning wide and posing in a brown leather coat and long black skirt.
Blake was joined on the outing by her sister Robyn Lively, 53, who appeared in the background of the photos.
Her connection with Lin-Manuel stretches back to at least 2020, when they were announced as co-stars in the rom-com The Making Of.
And in 2022 both she and the filmmaker were co-chairs for the Met Gala.

In December 2024 Blake named It Ends With Us co-star and director Justin Baldoni in a lawsuit accusing him of sexual harassment, retaliatory conduct, and intentional infliction of emotional stress.
The legal battle subsequently affected her friendship with pop star Taylor Swift.

Justin’s team subpoenaed Blake for text messages, emails and any other messages between her and the singer.
His lawyers were then allowed to pore through the text trail, with all communications related to It Ends With Us set for scrutiny.
In one text exchange, Blake appeared to refer to herself as the Game of Thrones character Khaleesi, and to Taylor as one of her ‘dragons.’
Elsewhere in Justin’s filing is the claim that Taylor was present at a meeting convened by Blake at her New York penthouse to discuss It Ends With Us script changes.
Sources close to Taylor insisted the singer had no knowledge of the meeting and simply arrived to find it underway.
The situation reportedly left the songstress — who is godmother to Blake’s three daughters — feeling ‘exploited’ by her friend of ten years.
