Taylor Swift and Blake Lively’s friendship seems to be facing tension as the former distances herself from the latter due to the ongoing lawsuit with Justin Baldoni. Reports suggest that Swift, who has been close friends with Lively for years, feels uncomfortable being linked to the legal controversy. Although Swift has not publicly addressed the situation, sources claim she is stepping back to avoid further involvement.
Here’s everything we know about the situation.
Taylor Swift needs space from Blake Lively, claims report
Taylor Swift is reportedly stepping back from her friendship with Blake Lively after being unexpectedly drawn into the ongoing legal dispute between Lively and It Ends With Us director Justin Baldoni.
A source told Page Six that the “Bad Blood” singer “feels like a pawn” in the dispute. Taylor Swift is taking a break from her friendship with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. The insider added, “Taylor wants nothing to do with this whole ordeal. She has always been a loyal friend to Blake and doesn’t appreciate being thrown into this at all.”
The controversy escalated when Lively’s alleged text messages surfaced in Baldoni’s lawsuit. In the messages, Blake Lively mentioned her “dragons,” which many believe refer to Taylor Swift and Ryan Reynolds. Lively described these “dragons” as powerful figures who protect her and those she supports. Baldoni’s response seemed to confirm this interpretation, as he mentioned both Swift and Reynolds in his reply. Although Swift has not publicly commented on the situation, insiders claim she is unhappy about being pulled into the legal drama without her consent.
Previously, it was reported that Taylor Swift “can’t help but feel used” after Blake Lively’s texts were revealed as part of Baldoni’s lawsuit. A Page Six insider claimed Swift felt blindsided and didn’t appreciate being drawn into the drama. Unlike her usual support for friends’ projects, Swift has remained noticeably silent about It Ends With Us. This has only fueled speculation about her possible fallout with Lively.
