[1] — Marina Hyde "Taylor Swift is godmother to all three of Blake Lively's daughters, yet Lively was conspicuously absent from the 1,000-person wedding guest…" 12:40 The likely cause, Marina suggests, is the Justin Baldoni–Blake Lively lawsuit, in which Taylor Swift's private supportive messages were exposed during discovery, creating what Marina terms 'brand contamination.' Richard draws a deadpan domestic comparison — 'we've all had this issue with our weddings, when you go, oh God, after that lawsuit, it's very difficult' — while simultaneously noting that someone must have been 1,001st on the list. The segment closes on Marina's observation that the Blake Lively angle provides the 'mega celebrity beef' that, like her songs, ensures her wedding can be decoded and discussed indefinitely.
