Prior to the legal dispute between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni known as “It Ends with Us,” the actress’ bond with Taylor Swift appeared invincible. They attended Chiefs games together, had double dates with Ryan Reynolds and Travis Kelce, and Swift even incorporated Lively’s children’s names into her songs. However, it seems that things have shifted between them, and despite a judge dismissing Baldoni’s $400 million lawsuit, an insider suggests that their friendship may not return to its former state.
As a die-hard movie fan, I found myself unintentionally drawn into the legal squabbles between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni when he claimed she was leveraging her connections with Taylor Swift and Ryan Reynolds to force him into using her vision for the crucial rooftop scene in “It Ends with Us” (now streaming exclusively on Netflix). A source close to the situation hinted to Page Six that this isn’t a matter Swift would easily ignore, indicating:
“That’s not Taylor’s style. She doesn’t let things like this slide.
Taylor buries hatchets but keeps maps of where she put them, remember?
The reference being made here is drawn from the song “End Game,” and it undeniably fits the current scenario, as they went on saying:
As a passionate cinephile, I’ll always harbor resentment towards Blake for exploiting our connection to boost his influence around Justin. It simply infuriates me that he could conceive such manipulative thoughts, let alone put them into words in that text message.
In a text message mentioned in Justin Baldoni’s court filing, Blake Lively playfully likened herself to Daenerys Targaryen (Khaleesi) from “Game of Thrones,” describing her husband and best friend as her “dragons.” According to an insider, this comparison is something that both Lively and Taylor Swift may find difficult to shake off.
Justin’s disclosure of those texts, particularly the ‘dragons’ text, has caused irreversible and enduring harm. However, it’s important to note that the content of the text was not an accurate representation of their friendship. Taylor never saw herself as Blake’s protector or “dragon,” a role she wouldn’t have filled in their relationship.
As a fervent fan, I’m sharing the news that Justin Baldoni’s legal team ultimately decided to retract their subpoena towards Taylor Swift, following allegations that Scott Swift, Taylor’s father, disclosed a threat from Blake Lively. The story goes that Blake Lively’s team requested Taylor to eliminate certain text messages and issue a statement in support of Blake, and if Taylor declined, there were threats to release confidential conversations between the two ladies.
For quite a while now, people have been wondering about the private dynamics between Taylor Swift and Blake Lively, given the singer’s lack of commentary on her friend’s sexual harassment lawsuit. Her silence seemed to convey a significant message, and they haven’t been spotted together since October 2024. Even Travis Kelce, a close associate of Ryan Reynolds, has stopped following him on social media.
According to the inside source, Taylor Swift felt disappointed when Blake Lively appeared to leverage Swift’s name in conflicts, as this action seemingly contradicted the essence of their friendship. The insider put it this way: “Taylor was taken aback by how Blake seemed to use their friendship for her own battles.
They were inseparable friends, sharing adventures, decorating homes, and enjoying billionaire lifestyles. In truth, they bonded due to their common wealth and privileged experiences. It was comforting to be with someone else who understood this lifestyle and didn’t seem to covet anything from Taylor, as she was already abundantly wealthy herself. [Swift] was deeply hurt by the friendship, and though healing may occur, the emotional scar will persist.
Let’s wait and see if time can mend the rumored rift between Taylor Swift and Blake Lively, as it appears that despite the resolution of any legal disputes for Taylor, there may have been significant fallout already.
