After Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s lawsuit, it’s Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively’s legal battle that has become the most jaw-dropping showbiz feud in recent times. With constant mud-slinging and new allegations emerging each day, Lively vs. Baldoni’s lawsuit drama has now dragged in pop star Taylor Swift.
But despite being Blake Lively’s bestie, who allegedly got involved in her feud with Justin Baldoni during the production of It Ends With Us, sources noted that Taylor Swift is in shock to see her name being repeatedly mentioned in legal documents. So now, the singer is reportedly reconsidering her friendship with Lively, while actively engaging in damage control.
Taylor Swift reportedly resents Blake Lively for leveraging her name
Taylor Swift’s friendship circle has changed over the course of time, but Blake Lively has managed to be her constant for years. However, amid Lively’s high-profile s*xual harassment lawsuit against It Ends With Us director and co-star Justin Baldoni, now that Swift has found herself pulled into the legal battle, she appears to be allegedly reconsidering her friendship.
Ever since Justin Baldoni’s attorney announced that he has been considering deposing Taylor Swift in the case, the pop star has reportedly become desperate to distance herself from the drama. That’s when a source close to the singer told US Weekly that Swift was allegedly infuriated with Lively unnecessarily leveraging her name throughout the lawsuit.
[Swift was] not a producer on the film and had no creative involvement. While she and Blake are friends, this case is now a legal matter for the courts to resolve. Dragging Taylor into it is unnecessary and misrepresents what really happened.
Although Justin Baldoni had alleged how Blake Lively tried to take creative control of the film from him, with Ryan Reynolds and Taylor Swift’s support, sources close to the singer noted that it was a one-time thing. Further, an insider told TMZ that Swift wasn’t happy with the way the actress kept using her name with Baldoni and even called the “dragon” reference “weird.”
Meanwhile, although Taylor Swift and Blake Lively are still friends, sources told Page Six that the singer feels “used” by Lively. So now, Swift is focused on her own life and doesn’t want to be pulled into the legal drama.
Taylor Swift is allegedly reconsidering her friendship while upping the PR ante
Despite sources previously clarifying how Taylor Swift is infuriated with Blake Lively for her sick move of leveraging her name in her lawsuit; now that the singer is actively becoming a part of the lawsuit, insiders told Heat World that she has been reconsidering her friendship with the actress. Unwilling to damage her reputation in the industry, insiders revealed that Swift is willing to stay away from the lawsuit.
Taylor is seriously reconsidering her friendship with Blake and is actively in damage control right now. The whole drama with Justin has spiraled out of control, and it seems as if Blake has implicated Taylor and kind of thrown her under the bus a bit.
Taylor has some of the best people in the business around her and they can all see how negative the fight is affecting the public’s opinion of Blake and her husband Ryan Reynolds and she wants no part of that. She’s America’s sweetheart and wants to stay that way.
Taylor Swift and Blake Lively’s friendship dates back to 2015, since when they’ve enjoyed holidays, and evenings out, and even contributed to each other’s work. Lively directed Swift’s 2021 music video for I Bet You Think About Me and later the singer was named godparent to Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ four daughters. However, their long-standing alliance now seems to be under threat, amid Lively’s legal battle against Justin Baldoni.
