Supermodel Gigi Hadid finds herself in a difficult position amid rising tensions between her two high-profile friends — Taylor Swift and Blake Lively.
Known for her loyalty and longstanding bond with Swift, Hadid is now subtly navigating a friendship shift that has been quietly unfolding behind the scenes.
According to insiders speaking to Us Weekly, Gigi Hadid has always shared a deeper, more personal connection with Swift, and that history is naturally influencing her stance. “Gigi has always had a closer friendship with Taylor and stands by her,” a source revealed. “They’ve been best friends for nearly a decade, and Gigi Hadid has always shown unwavering loyalty to Taylor.”
While the 30-year-old runway icon hasn’t publicly taken sides, the insider emphasized that the current dynamics are less about picking teams and more about following the natural closeness she shares with Swift. “Gigi Hadid hasn’t necessarily chosen sides,” the source clarified, “but her bond with Taylor has always been stronger than the one she had with Blake.”
Interestingly, it was Swift who introduced Gigi Hadid to Blake Lively, fostering what appeared to be a tight-knit trio. However, that connection has faded over the past year. “There are no hard feelings,” the insider said, “but Gigi and Blake haven’t been especially close for some time now.”
As Swift’s relationship with Lively began to deteriorate—reportedly due to an ongoing legal issue—Gigi Hadid gradually mirrored that distance. The change wasn’t dramatic, but rather a “gradual and organic shift in dynamics,” the source noted.
The source added that Gigi Hadid has intentionally kept her distance from the tension, preferring to stay out of the drama. “She doesn’t want to be involved at all,” they stated. “She and Blake haven’t had much contact this year, and that absolutely ties back to the lawsuit.”
Despite the current divide, Gigi Hadid continues to be a loyal figure in Taylor Swift’s life, quietly choosing her long-time friend while maintaining grace in a complex situation.
