Rob Shuter reports that Blake has gone under the radar after the Shake It Off hitmaker dropped her 12th album.

An insider revealed that Blake normally "posts, comments, or pops up at Taylor's big moments," but has "been unusually silent" for this drop, adding that "it's not an accident."

They explained that the Another Simple Favor star's alleged marital woes with Ryan Reynolds and legal war with Justin Baldoni are to blame.

The source said Blake "doesn't want to compete with Taylor's spotlight or get dragged into the Taylor-Travis [Kelce] frenzy."

Swifties have been debating over the Fortnight artist's song Cancelled being about her friendship with Blake – especially after the Betty Booze founder subtly supported Taylor by liking one of the singer's posts.

Taylor was previously believed to have fallen out with Blake after getting dragged into the actor's legal battle with Baldoni. At one point, a strange man even trespassed onto Travis Kelce's property in an attempt to serve Taylor deposition papers.
