Blake Lively’s lawsuit rumors clash with Taylor Swift’s loyalty as Baldoni drags their friendship into court docs.
Did Blake Lively’s Lawsuit Rock Her Friendship With Taylor Swift?
Blake Lively’s absence from Taylor Swift’s Super Bowl suite sparked wildfire rumors of a rift after reports claimed Swift distanced herself over Lively’s legal woes.
“This isn’t true,” insiders told Fox News, denying fallout from Lively’s sexual harassment lawsuit against It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni.
But whispers linger—especially after Swift allegedly felt “used” amid Baldoni’s claim that Lively weaponized their friendship during script disputes.
How Did Taylor Get Dragged Into the Drama?
Baldoni’s lawsuit alleged Lively leveraged Swift and Ryan Reynolds as “dragons” to intimidate him into accepting script rewrites.
Texts show Baldoni caved after a tense meeting at Lively’s home, telling her: “I would’ve liked your pages without Ryan and Taylor 😉.”
Lively fired back in court docs, calling Reynolds and Swift her “creative barometers” who push her to “stop worrying about people liking me.”
What’s the History Behind Swift and Lively’s Bond?
The duo’s friendship began in 2015, with Swift even naming Lively’s kids (James, Inez, and Betty) in Folklore’s “Betty.”
Lively directed Swift’s 2021 I Bet You Think About Me video, while Reynolds confirmed Swift is godmother to their three daughters.
They’ve partied at 4th of July bashes, Christmas shindigs, and Swift’s 30th birthday—but Super Bowl 2025? Lively stayed home.
Why Are Insiders Split on the Friendship’s Status?
While sources insist ties remain strong, Page Six claimed Swift “can’t help but feel used” after legal docs name-dropped her.
Baldoni’s filings suggest Swift and Reynolds pressured him to greenlight Lively’s scene rewrite—a claim Livial labeled as leveraging her “titan” allies.
But Swifties point out: Lively’s Instagram still features throwbacks with Swift, and no unfollowing detected.
What’s Next for Swift and Lively?
Legal drama aside, Lively’s It Ends With Us role remains central. But Swift’s Eras Tour hiatus might cool reunion hype.
As one source shrugged, “Taylor cherishes loyalty—but hates messy spotlight dumps.”
