Taylor Swift’s Shocking Snub of Blake Lively Amid $400M Lawsuit Drama

BBG News

I myself won’t join Taylor Swift, my long-standing best buddy, as she cheers for Travis Kelce against the Philadelphia Eagles this coming Sunday.

According to our exclusive source, DailyMail.com learned that ‘Blake will not be joining [her] at the Super Bowl. Since this situation began, Blake has been confined to her home. Taylor is actively avoiding any connection to the ongoing trial and legal proceedings.’

The statement emerges as it’s said that the multiple Grammy-winning artist feels exploited by the actress from Gossip Girl, aged 37, following their involvement in the heated legal dispute between Lively, also 37, and Baldoni, 41.

In a statement, Baldoni alleged that Lively invoked Taylor Swift during a discussion on edits for the rooftop sequence in “It Ends with Us” with her husband Ryan Reynolds, presumably to make him feel intimidated.

In the lawsuit he filed last month worth $400 million, Baldoni claimed that Swift appeared and made him believe it was necessary to adhere to Blake’s instructions regarding the script.

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

Thursdays saw allegations surface that Swift reportedly feels upset towards Lively, as she perceived Lively’s actions as using her name when she referred to her as one of her dragons, and capitalizing on their encounter with Baldoni. According to a source speaking to TMZ, Swift was taken aback by this interaction.

According to the source, it was reported that Swift visited Lively’s apartment upon being informed by the actress. However, Swift apparently didn’t know that Baldoni would also be present at the time.

According to the source, Baldoni was preparing to depart following a two-hour meeting when Swift unexpectedly entered. This was their first and only encounter, as she was introduced to him at that moment.

As a lifestyle aficionado, let me share an intriguing tidbit I recently stumbled upon. In a private conversation, Taylor Swift expressed her eagerness to watch a certain film, and here’s the fascinating part: she mentioned that the reason for her excitement stemmed from the fact that her friend was under his direction, referring to the director, Baldoni.

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

Swift reportedly found it puzzling when Lively referred to her as a ‘dragon’, expressing, “It’s unusual to describe a friend in such a way.

The source allegedly added that Swift has long accused Lively of misusing her name in an improper manner. For instance, Lively reportedly told a young actress that Swift had ‘cast her’, which is untrue as this event never took place.

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

On Thursday as well, various reports were adamant to Us Weekly that Swift played no role in the creation process of It Ends With Us.

According to a source, Taylor has consistently been friends with Blake, however, she hasn’t had any role or influence on the ongoing case. Moreover, Taylor was not featured in the film.

‘Taylor was not a producer on the film and had no creative involvement.’

It’s been noted that Taylor Swift was performing on her Eras Tour during the time when the movie was being filmed in 2023 and 2024.

Taylor hadn’t watched the movie or any part of it before its theater release. Her involvement seems irrelevant to the case, they pointed out.

An alternative informant indicated to the media outlet that it is ‘superfluous’ to involve Taylor Swift in the legal dispute between Lively and Baldoni.

Although Taylor and Blake have a friendly relationship, this issue has become a court case that needs resolution. It’s inappropriate and misleading to involve Taylor further, as it distorts the truth of what transpired.

Subsequently, it was reported that Swift allegedly attempted to soften Lively’s bold personality, several years prior to the actress’ tumultuous legal encounters with Baldoni.

At present, the former star of Gossip Girl is engaged in a heated dispute with her fellow actor from It Ends With Us, who she has accused of sexual misconduct and allegedly orchestrated a defamatory campaign against her in a shocking lawsuit filed last year.

Currently, Baldoni is filing a lawsuit against both Lively and her spouse Reynolds, seeking $400 million, while also surprising the world by involving Swift in this high-stakes legal dispute.

The argument between Lively and Baldoni has led people to examine her past actions more closely, with many offering their opinions on her behavior as fresh details emerge.

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

According to a source, Taylor Swift appreciates Blake Lively’s bold personality, her ability to express herself frankly, her use of strong language, and her determination not to let anyone dictate her actions.

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

‘Taylor appears to have a twin in Blake. However, Taylor is less overt, while Blake tends to be very enthusiastic about everything she does. This lack of restraint on Blake’s part has led people to change their opinions about her.’

Taylor has previously attempted to soften Blake’s demeanor, but she’s come to realize that change is unlikely for him.

Currently, despite their proximity remaining unchanged, there’s a minor alteration due to the unfolding events in “It Ends With Us.” Taylor is displeased about being drawn into this situation.

Fans of the duo, who have been friends for ten years and marked significant moments together, were taken aback when it was revealed that Taylor Swift might be distancing herself from Blake Lively. This is surprising because Swift has often referenced Lively’s kids in her songs.

To put it simply, the artist’s music was brought up during the court proceedings because Baldoni alleged in his lawsuit that Lively exploited their friendship with the Grammy-winning musician to influence things from behind the scenes.

As per Baldoni’s legal claim, Lively allegedly insisted that her film trailer would only be approved if she was given additional time to collaborate on the movie edit using her personal editor.

In the lawsuit, he asserted that the actress had implied she might not proceed with contacting Taylor Swift to obtain permission for using the popular 2020 song “My Tears Ricochet.

In the end, a tune off Taylor Swift’s “Folklore” album was incorporated into the movie trailer, yet Baldoni claimed that Lively attempted to leverage their friendship with the musician to get her own preferences fulfilled.

A supposed conversation with a Sony executive stated: ‘Blake is phoning Taylor to get approval for the song. She mentioned she needs time with her editor, as per our understanding it was contingent on signing the contract, but they’re asking if you might reconsider so that [REDACTED] can publish this trailer and Blake won’t back out from contacting Taylor Swift.’

Baldoni pointed out that they consented to her requests so they could proceed with their plans as intended. The supposed encounter transpired in May 2024.

By August, it seemed as though Swift was offering support to Lively when whispers of a strained relationship between her and Baldoni began circulating.

She was spotted arriving at Swift’s Rhode Island mansion, seeking tranquility at the $17 million, eight-bedroom residence with her spouse Reynolds, to find peace amidst the chaos.

During a period when Lively faced criticism for her “tone-deaf” marketing approach, she seemed to downplay interview questions concerning domestic violence – a crucial topic in the film – instead focusing on encouraging people to purchase their ‘floral outfits’ and visit the cinema.

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

Previously conducted interviews with the actress, which showed her behaving impolitely towards journalists, have recently gained significant attention on social networking platforms.

In October, Swift and Lively were seen on a double date in Manhattan with Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool actor) and Travis Kelce (Swift’s boyfriend). The gathering was marked by their lively and swift interactions.

Two months prior, she made a complaint to the California Civil Rights Department alleging that Baldoni had sexually harassed her and fostered an unfavorable work environment during the filming of It Ends with Us, which ultimately led to her outing.

Meanwhile, a news story from The New York Times emerged, which was built upon her court documents, suggesting he masterminded a defamation attempt against her.

Swift found himself caught up in the ongoing roller coaster drama when Baldoni retaliated by filing a sharp lawsuit against Lively and Reynolds, alleging that they had schemed together to harm his reputation.

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

According to the latest news, there’s no information available yet regarding the adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s sequel novel “It Starts with Us,” following the success of its prequel.

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