Social media personality Melanie King has alleged that American supermodel Gigi Hadid didn’t invite her close friend, Blake Lively, to her star-studded 30th birthday bash last week due to the actress's feud with Taylor Swift. On May 4, 2025, King shared a video of the It Ends With Us actress on the social media platform X and wrote:
“CONFIRMED: The reason Gigi Hadid didn’t invite her BFF Blake to her 30th birthday party last week was because of Taylor Swift, direct sources have revealed. She had to choose between Taylor and Blake because Taylor wants nothing to do with Plantation Khaleesi. Gigi has officially cut her off as well.”
Questioning Blake Lively and Gigi Hadid’s friendship status, the video clip that the internet personality shared was from one of The Age of Adaline actress' previous interviews. She further added in her tweet:
“Gigi is dating Bradley Cooper who was thanked in the end credits of It Ends With Us. Why? This rabbit hole goes deep… Just a day after It Ends With Us came out she gave this interview about how supportive all her friends are of her”
