The ongoing feud between Baldoni-Lively has tainted the image of the It ‘Ends with Us’ star, worsened when sources indicated a rift between best friends Taylor Swift and Blake Lively.
What happened between Swift and Lively?
The lawsuit between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively has sparked controversy, particularly due to Baldoni’s decision to release evidence to the public, which fans have dubbed “receipts.” One of the shared screenshots features a conversation with Lively in which she elaborates on her support system in Hollywood.
After Baldoni met Swift at a meeting in the Lively household, where Lively had called Justin to discuss creative differences in several movie scenes, Swift and Ryan entered praising and supporting Blake’s ideas. Later Justin’s ‘receipts’ caught Blake attempting to team up with Ryan and Taylor to pressure Baldoni into agreeing to Blake’s version of the scene, as interpreted by fans.
The text read, “If you ever get around to watching Game of Thrones, you’ll appreciate that I’m Khaleesi, and like her, I happen to have a few dragons,” Lively allegedly texted Baldoni per his lawsuit. “For better or worse, but usually for better. Because my dragons also protect those I fight for. So really, we all benefit from those gorgeous monsters of mine. You will too. I can promise you.”
Baldoni’s text on the same message chain explained the dragon comment was about Taylor and Ryan, “I really love what you did. It really does [help] a lot. Makes it so much more fun and interesting. (And I would have felt that way without Ryan and Taylor),” said Ryan in the text chain.
With the lawsuit entailing, Swift’s name was dragged several times, with claims of being involved in pressuring Baldoni. According to sources, the Eras tour star ‘felt used’ in the drama.
The Sources claim…
According to an insider, Taylor Swift was invited to Blake’s house without being aware that Baldoni would also be there. During their initial meeting, Taylor expressed her excitement for the upcoming movie in front of her friend’s boss. Additionally, Blake referring to Taylor as “one of her dragons” was described as ‘weird’, as noted by CBR.
Further, according to the tipster, Taylor wants to keep out of this drama as much as possible, as she can’t help but feel used at this point.
Additionally, the source read, “Taylor really wishes Blake hadn’t dragged her into this whole situation and she doesn’t appreciate being referred to as one of Blake’s dragons”
Swift-Lively Friendship
Taylor Swift and Blake Lively have had a long-lasting friendship since 2015. Their bond is so close that Taylor is godmother to one of Blake’s children according to sources. Taylor had even provided her record named, ‘My Tears Ricochet’ for the soundtrack of ‘It Ends with Us’.
Taylor is known to be promoting her peers and their career stages, however, It Ends with Us- a movie with such a strong message about women’s empowerment wasn’t much promoted by the singer, supports the claims of Taylor Swift being upset with her friend.
