Taylor Swift and Blake Lively have patched things up after an alleged fallout over the Justin Baldoni lawsuit. According to sources close to the pair, the two were recently spotted talking again, signaling that they’ve worked through their differences. The fallout reportedly stemmed from the actress’s legal battle against Baldoni, her It Ends With Us director and co-star, over a lawsuit involving a controversial rooftop scene in the film. Baldoni later filed a counterclaim, which also involved Lively’s husband, Ryan Reynolds.
Reports claimed that Taylor Swift was mentioned in Baldoni’s lawsuit, with the filmmaker alleging that Lively had brought Swift to the set during the disputed scene. Swift’s name being linked to the lawsuit caused discomfort for the singer, as she was only supporting her friend and didn’t want to be drawn into the legal drama. Sources close to Swift clarified that she was simply being polite when she met Baldoni for the first time, as she wasn’t familiar with him before the incident.
In addition to her name being mentioned, Swift was referred to as Lively’s “dragon” in Baldoni’s lawsuit, which fueled speculation about her involvement. This led to a brief distance between Swift and Lively, but it appears they’ve now reconciled.
One insider mentioned that Blake Lively was particularly concerned about the potential impact of the lawsuit on Taylor, saying, “The thought of Taylor being subjected to that is utterly horrifying to Blake.”
Despite their reconciliation, some of Swift’s fans were upset by her silence on the situation, as she had not publicly commented on the legal battle or the alleged fallout. Nonetheless, it appears that the two women have moved past the controversy and are back on good terms.
