The ongoing feud between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni has taken several dramatic turns, and now Taylor Swift is caught in the crossfire. From professional disagreements over creative control, the It Ends With Us drama has spiraled into lawsuits, allegations, counterclaims, and fallout.
As the legal drama unfolds, the public seems to be siding with Baldoni. But Lively and Ryan Reynolds have finally received some positive news about Swift. Are there any chances that the singer would directly get involved in the situation? Or will she just watch from the sidelines, cheering for her friends?
Blake Lively refers to Taylor Swift as her dragon
One of the most unsettling revelations in this controversy is Blake Lively allegedly comparing herself to Khaleesi from Game of Thrones, with Ryan Reynolds and Taylor Swift as her “dragons.” As revealed in Justin Baldoni’s lawsuit, the actress referred to Reynolds and Swift as her “most trusted partners,” and “Dance Moms level stage moms,” meaning they played an important role in supporting her during the movie’s production (via People).
But the Blank Space singer wants none of this, and she does not appreciate her name being dragged into the feud at all. As per sources from Page Six, “Taylor is really hurt,” and she “feels like a pawn,” in this situation. Swift reportedly “needs space,” to process her emotions, and being called the actress’ dragon only adds to her discomfort.
For now, the singer is “taking a break from their friendship,” which began in 2015, when Lively’s ad campaign referenced one of Swift’s songs. Since then, they’ve been spotted together at several public events, and the singer is even the godmother to the couple’s children.
Why Taylor Swift might still support Blake Lively in her feud against Justin Baldoni
Blake Lively did not accompany Taylor Swift to the Super Bowl, which has led many to speculate that the two are no longer friends. However, an insider of InTouch Weekly says that “Justin’s lawsuit may be a nightmare, but they would never let something like this destroy them.”
The same source also claimed that despite the strain in their friendship, Swift might still stand by her side during tough times because she had her own experience with a high-profile s*xual assault lawsuit in 2017. The singer was reportedly the victim in the situation, and she used her platform to advocate for other people who faced harassment and assault.
So, Swift needing space is still good news for Lively and Reynolds because it doesn’t necessarily mean that their friendship is going to end. Even though most celebrities have sided with Lively, public support is leaning toward Justin Baldoni, with figures like Candace Owens covering every detail, and speaking in his favor.
