Blake Lively was among many celebrities who watched the 2026 FIFA World Cup final between Spain and Argentina on Sunday in New Jersey.
The actress also shared a picture with her two friends on her Instagram Stories with a football emoji.
Lively, a former longtime friend of Taylor Swift, used to attend NFL games with the singer before they fell out over Lively’s lawsuit against Justin Baldoni.
It was that lawsuit that brought their friendship to an end, with Taylor Swift publicly humiliating Lively and her husband Ryan Renolds by not inviting them to her wedding with Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs tight end.
Blake Lively kept a low profile in the leadup to Taylor Swift’s wedding and largely avoided social media.
Days after Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce wedding, she appeared at the Fifa World Cup final with a small group of friends.
According to her fans, her post with a football emoji was a playful nod to the old debate over whether NFL should be called football.
Even US President Donald Trump also agrees that NFL should change its name because soccer is the actual football.
Blake Lively’s fans wondered if her picture was a subtle swipe at Taylor Swift with the message, “You didn’t a marry footballer” and he’s not an international star.”
