00:00The Taylor Swift Travis Kelsey wedding snub drama continues and this time it's coming from an
00:05unlikely source, Zoe Kazan. The writer slash actress famous for starring in The Big Sick
00:10seemingly added her theory as to why the bride's former BFF Blake Lively was not one of the VIP
00:17wedding guests. In a since-deleted ex-post that went viral on Reddit, Kazan wrote,
00:22I think she didn't invite her because she has come to the end of her marriage plot,
00:26thus cutting off access to her first great subject. Rather than root for her own divorce,
00:30she's generating the next chapter of interpersonal drama for herself via female friendship. Or as
00:36my father once told me, as soon as you answer one dramatic question in your screenplay,
00:41you must pose the next one or you will lose your audience. Well, after receiving swift backlash
00:46from Swifties, Kazan followed up a few hours later with this. Hilarious to me that this is being read
00:52as critical. She's explicitly made her love life the subject of her work, yielding many good songs.
00:58Now, as a storyteller, she needs a new subject. What a touchy fandom. Drama! To be fair, Zoe Kazan does
01:06know her way around a juicy storyline. Her adaptation of the epic novel East of Eden starring Florence Pugh
01:12and Christopher Abbott hits Netflix this fall. It's sure to be Wuthering Heights worthy. As for her own
01:19love story, Kazan has been with actor Paul Dano since 2007. They have two kids together and are
01:24not married. But back to Blake. It's true she and Ryan Reynolds did not attend the wedding of the
01:30century and reportedly were upstate in Lake Placid instead. In May, the Gossip Girl actress and Justin
01:36Baldoni settled their years-long legal fight, but not before dragging Taylor Swift and her private
01:41communications into the mess, leading to a reported rift. Here's what we said in January.
01:57Is Taylor Swift's song canceled about her bestie Blake Lively? Bombshell new court docs all but
02:03confirm this, and Page Six has the most shocking text messages from the It Ends With Us drama right
02:09here. In text between Blake and Taylor, the singer-slammed actor-director Justin Baldoni writing,
02:14I think this bitch knows something is coming, because he's gotten out his tiny violin.
02:19Yep, the same tiny violin from Taylor's song. She also called Justin not strategic for agreeing
02:25to use her song, My Tears Ricochet, in the movie's trailer. Why? Because it gave Blake more power over
02:32him. Blake agreed the move was, quote, stupid. And when Blake asked Taylor to endorse her revision
02:37of the script, without even reading it, the pop star texted, I'll do anything for you.
02:42So, what did Blake say about Justin? It was just as brutal. She described him as a chaotic clown to
02:49one of her Hollywood pals, Ben Affleck. And here's what she texted to Taylor, following the now infamous
02:54ambush, at Blake and Ryan Reynolds' New York City apartment.
02:57You were so epically heroic today. I recapped every moment to Ryan. I kept remembering stuff.
03:03You making s**t up about me and lenses, and referring to yourself as my doll. This clown falling for all
03:10of it, but also resisting it. You were the world's absolute greatest friend ever.
