"Taylor Swift is ghosting" - Dana Bowling reacts to reports of the popstar ignoring Blake Lively's texts and calls

Podcaster Dana Bowling reacted to the latest reports of Taylor Swift ignoring actress Blake Lively’s texts and calls. In her latest video clip on X dated June 4, 2025 ( linked to the full video shared on her YouTube), Bowling referred to the latest Daily Mail article that detailed how Lively had allegedly been trying to reconnect with Swift through multiple channels.

"Blake Lively has been like non-stop reaching out to Taylor Swift constantly graveling texts, voicemails, and emails. And Taylor Swift is ghosting Blake," Bowling stated.

Previously, as per a Daily Mail report dated May 22, Taylor Swift was initially subpoenaed in the ongoing legal dispute between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni by attorney Bryan Freedman. However, after a few weeks, her subpoena was dropped.

However, as per the June 3, 2025, Daily Mail report, a source close to Swift told the outlet that even after being formally dismissed from the legal dispute, the singer was distancing herself from Lively.

Bowling, reacting to these revelations in her June 4 video, was clear in her support for Swift’s decision to step away from the friendship. She also added that she would "do the same" if she were "Taylor Swift".

In her YouTube video posted on June 3, 2025, pop culture commentator and podcaster Dana Bowling claimed that Taylor Swift had intentionally distanced herself from Blake Lively and may not rekindle their friendship anytime soon.

"Taylor would be insane to go back to Blake, at least now," Bowling emphasized.

She further brought up the context of Blake Lively’s ongoing legal drama and stated that "maybe way later" when Blake admitted that she had unintentionally "started a war that she can’t finish here with Justin Baldoni" then Swift could go back to being friends with the Gossip Girl alum.

Bowling also questioned the timing and strategic nature of the press coverage surrounding Swift’s silence toward Blake Lively. She pointed out that the narrative appeared to be deliberately shaped by Swift’s inner circle.

"Taylor Swift has been leaking… her press has been slowly leaking to all of these outlets and Daily Mail has been picking up everything she has been putting down," Bowling noted.

While she refrained from naming a specific individual, she insinuated someone close to the pop star was behind the consistent media spin and "everything that they’ve been saying has been correct".

Referring directly to the June 3 Daily Mail report, Bowling further commented on Lively’s persistent attempts to mend the fractured friendship.

She stated that Lively had been “nonstop reaching out” to Swift and “begging” for forgiveness ever since the legal drama unfolded.

"And Taylor’s like, ‘I’m sorry. I can’t come to the phone right now. I am busy. I am hanging out with Selena. I’m hanging out …with Dakota Johnson, and I’m hanging out with Travis Kelce,’" Bowling added.

Bowling further referred to the singer’s latest achievement of buying back the master recordings of her first six albums, which gave her control over her entire catalog.

In the context of this new milestone in Swift's life, Bowling remarked that the singer was “living” her “best life” and didn’t need “this fashion diva mess”.
