Taylor Swift Feels Used by Blake Lively

BBG News

According to a recent report, Taylor Swift feels that her friend Blake Lively has taken advantage of her situation, as she has been unwillingly involved in the legal disputes concerning Justin Baldoni and ‘The It Ends With Us’ case.

In the heated legal dispute between Lively (aged 37) and Baldoni (aged 41), Swift (aged 35) found himself involved when he alleged in his lawsuit that his co-star had manipulated him during a meeting with her husband Ryan Reynolds regarding changes she made to a rooftop scene in their movie “It Ends with Us”, using Swift as a means of intimidation.

In a lawsuit he filed last month worth $400 million, Baldoni claimed that Swift appeared and gave him the impression that he was supposed to follow Blake’s instructions regarding the script.

In a string of texts to Baldoni, Lively likened herself to the character Daenerys Targaryen (Khaleesi) from Game of Thrones. She playfully called Reynolds, who is 48 years old, and her close friend her “dragon companions.

Currently, there are reports stating that Swift allegedly feels displeased when Lively referred to her as one of her dragons and exploited her name, with a source telling TMZ that she was taken aback by the encounter with Baldoni.

According to the source, Swift visited Lively’s apartment upon being informed by the actress. However, it seems Swift wasn’t aware that Baldoni would also be present.

According to the source, Baldoni was preparing to depart following their two-hour meeting when Swift unexpectedly arrived. For the first and only occasion, she was then presented to him.

According to the source, Swift shared with Baldoni her enthusiasm about seeing the film, as his friend holds a managerial position.

Additionally, they assert that Swift arranged Lively’s meeting with Baldoni to ensure she arrived prior to his departure.

Swift was equally puzzled when Lively referred to her as a ‘dragon’. She found it unusual to describe a friend in such terms.

According to the source, it was alleged that Swift has long been misusing Lively’s name, such as informing a young actress that she (Lively) had ‘cast her,’ which is untrue.

Representatives for Taylor Swift, Blake Lively, and Justin Baldoni have been reached out to for their comments by DailyMail.com.

Following allegations that Taylor Swift attempted to soften her bold personality for her friend Blake Lively, several years prior to Lively’s tumultuous legal issues with Alec Baldwin.

As a devoted admirer, I find myself embroiled in a heated dispute with my fellow cast member from “It Ends With Us,” who I’ve publicly accused of sexual misconduct and orchestrating a defamatory crusade against me, as detailed in a shocking lawsuit filed last year.

I, a passionate admirer, find myself compelled to share some intriguing news. Baldoni is striking back with a staggering $400 million countersuit against not just Lively, but also her husband Reynolds, sending shockwaves around the world. What’s even more astonishing is that he’s drawn Taylor Swift into this explosive legal battle, adding another layer to this already intense feud.

The public debate between Lively and Baldoni has led people to examine her previous actions more closely, with opinions shifting as fresh information emerges.

It is said that insiders believe Swift had suggested her friend should fully commit in the years leading up to the drama.

A source shared with DailyMail.com that Taylor Swift appreciates how bold and outspoken Blake Lively is, using strong language fluently and standing firm against being dominated by others.

‘That’s the real reason they bonded and became firm friends when they first met 10 years ago.’

They went on to say: ‘Taylor recognized a strong resemblance of herself in Blake. However, there’s a key distinction – Taylor is more understated. On the other hand, Blake has always been bold and unreserved about everything. This lack of restraint is what has led people to turn against her.’

Taylor has made efforts to soften Blake’s demeanor in the past, but now realizes that change is unlikely for her.

Currently, despite their proximity remaining intact, there’s a minor adjustment due to the stir caused by “It Ends With Us.” Taylor feels uncomfortable about being drawn into the situation unwillingly.

Fans of the duo, longtime friends for over a decade and who’ve marked significant moments together, were taken aback when it seemed like Taylor Swift was distancing herself. This is surprising given that she has referenced Lively’s kids in her songs.

To put it another way, the courtroom discussions were influenced when Baldoni asserted in the lawsuit that Lively used her connection with the award-winning singer to gain an advantage backstage.

As stated in Baldoni’s legal claim, Lively allegedly demanded additional time for editing the movie trailer, or risk having it disapproved, by insisting on collaborating with her preferred editor personally.

In the lawsuit, he stated that the actress had warned she might reconsider contacting Taylor Swift for permission to utilize her popular 2020 song “My Tears Ricochet.

The song, originally from Taylor Swift’s ‘Folklore’ album, ended up being featured in the trailer. However, Baldoni claimed that Lively attempted to leverage their friendship with the singer to fulfill her own requests, which she had made.

A supposed conversation with a Sony executive suggested: ‘Blake is phoning Taylor to endorse the song. She, as we expected, contacted us saying she needs time with her editor. We understand that it was contingent on signing the contract, but they’re asking if you might reconsider this so that [REDACTED] can launch the trailer and Blake doesn’t back out on contacting Taylor Swift.’

Baldoni pointed out that they accepted her requests so they could proceed according to their original plan, with the reported interaction happening in May 2024.

By August, it seemed like Swift was offering support to Lively as whispers of a potential dispute between her and Baldoni began circulating.

She was spotted making her way to Taylor Swift’s Rhode Island mansion, worth $17 million and boasting eight bedrooms, where she found comfort with her husband Reynolds as a refuge from the chaos.

When Lively was criticized for her ‘insensitive’ marketing approach during a time when her movie’s central theme was domestic violence, she apparently chose to divert interview questions about this sensitive topic by encouraging people to go see the film by emphasizing to wear their ‘floral outfits’.

Others accused her of using the attention to plug her alcohol brand Betty Booze.

Re-emerged interviews depicting the actress as seemingly impolite towards journalists have been widely shared across various social media platforms.

Previously, Lively and Swift were spotted together on a double date in October, accompanied by Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool actor) and Travis Kelce (Swift’s boyfriend), both in Manhattan.

Two months prior, she lodged a complaint with the California Civil Rights Department, alleging that Baldoni had subjected her to sexual harassment and fostered a hostile work environment during the filming of It Ends with Us.

Simultaneously, a report by The New York Times emerged from her court documents, alleging that he masterminded a defamation campaign against her.

Swift became involved in the roller coaster controversy after Baldoni retaliated with a sharp lawsuit against Lively and Reynolds, alleging that they had plotted to harm his public image.

It Ends with Us was a box-office hit, earning $351 million worldwide despite a $25 million budget.

According to information currently available, there’s no news yet regarding the adaption of the sequel novel, “It Starts with Us,” which was penned by Colleen Hoover and became a best-seller.

Baldoni, Lively and the NYT have all denied the claims levelled against them.
