Blake Lively was photographed walking alone in Pound Ridge, New York, on Friday, pushing a shopping cart while dressed casually in a white floral long-sleeve top, as rumors intensified around a possible pre-wedding gathering for her longtime friend Taylor Swift at the pop star's Rhode Island estate.

Photographers captured Lively out by herself amid heightened speculation that Swift's Rhode Island mansion was hosting an all-female event, potentially a bachelorette party ahead of Swift's reported wedding to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. The sighting has fueled discussions about the current state of the friendship between the "Gossip Girl" actress and the global music superstar.

Lively, 38, did not appear distressed during her outing, according to images published by TMZ. However, the solo appearance stands in contrast to reports of Swift being surrounded by close friends at her Watch Hill property this week. Activity around the mansion, including sightings of vehicles and guests, has prompted speculation that the gathering could mark a significant pre-wedding celebration.

The two celebrities have shared a high-profile friendship for years, often appearing together at events and supporting each other's projects. Lively and her husband, actor Ryan Reynolds, were once part of Swift's inner circle, frequently joining double dates........
