The internet’s been buzzing lately, and this time it’s not just about It Ends With Us. The movie’s leading stars, Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, found themselves caught in the middle of a legal firestorm—and it didn’t take long for the drama to spread like wildfire across social media. But things got even messier when surprising names like Brittany Mahomes and Taylor Swift were suddenly pulled into the chaos.
So, what exactly went down?
It all started when a now-viral Instagram post by Katie Paulson (shared back in April) claimed that some serious tea was spilled during a girls’ trip. According to the post, Brittany Mahomes allegedly accused Lively of trying to start an affair with her co-star Justin Baldoni. The kicker? The post claimed Baldoni wasn’t into it and supposedly “shut it down.” Naturally, this sparked rumors that the incident led to a rift between Taylor Swift and Blake Lively, who’ve been close friends for years.
As wild as this all sounds, it’s worth noting: there’s zero official confirmation of any of it. Neither Swift nor Lively have made any public statements, and Mahomes hasn’t addressed it either. Basically, it’s all internet speculation at this point—but that hasn’t stopped fans from weighing in heavily in the comments.
Adding fuel to the fire is the fact that Baldoni’s countersuit reportedly does mention Swift’s name. According to Coming Soon, Swift got pulled into the situation after she attended a script meeting at Lively’s penthouse in New York. The legal documents even quote Lively calling Swift and her husband Ryan Reynolds her “dragons”—seemingly a metaphor for her loyal defenders.
Meanwhile, a source close to Swift told People that she wasn’t thrilled about getting entangled in all of this. The insider claimed Swift was “upset” to have her name dragged into a legal dispute that had nothing to do with her. Still, the source added that Blake knew her friend would “come back from this” and that Swift herself was just glad to move past the drama.
