Taylor Swift is said to be so eager to distance herself from her pal Blake Lively’s legal battle with Justin Baldoni that their decade-long friendship is on the rocks.

The singer, 35, has denied being a producer on the film and sources claim she had ‘no creative involvement in the film’.

But fans have called out what they’re claiming is Taylor’s ‘lie’, after seeing several interviews from the It Ends With Us promotional tour that reference her involvement in the film.

In one clip, Justin explains that Taylor was involved in casting Isabela Ferrer, who plays young Lily Bloom.

The interviewers said: ‘You told me Taylor Swift helped her [Isabela] get the role, like signed off on her audition.’

He explained: ‘I was casting and I had showed her casting tape to Blake and Taylor and they were both like yes her. And that’s a true story.’

The reporter then asked: ‘And how did you get Taylor to so graciously lend this song that’s so pivotal to this movie?’

Justin added: ‘I had nothing to do with it, this is all Blake. Blake was involved in all aspects of this production and she is also a marketing genius.’

In a separate interview, one reporter said to Isabela: ‘Taylor may have had some influence in getting you the role.’

She responded: ‘Yes she did. I don’t even know if I’m meant to be saying it but I’m saying it. She was a helpful part of the process of the audition which I found out later after I got it and that rocks my world.’

In a separate Q&A session with Blake, 37, she confirmed Taylor was involved by saying:’ I mean honestly she was with me on this experience the whole time all through out so she really lived this with me.’

Alongside the montage of interview clips, the fan wrote: ‘Taylor Swift caught in a HUGE lie. She said she had no part in the casting of this actress for It Ends With Us. Ma’am Justin Baldoni has the receipts.’

Taylor and Blake are still struggling to move on from the fallout, with the Bad Blood singer no longer communicating with Lively according to insiders.

DailyMail.com previously reported that she had taken a ‘step back’ from the Gossip Girl alum, but their close bond has deteriorated, with Swift reportedly refusing an invitation to the SNL 50th anniversary special as Lively was on the guest list.

‘Taylor is not communicating with Blake,’ an insider said. ‘She was invited to SNL50, but with Blake there – and Kim Kardashian – it was the last place on earth she would be seen.’

The global frenzy around Lively has left Swift questioning her close friendships and how she can prevent ‘external factors’ from damaging her own reputation.

‘Taylor is taking stock of which of her friends are good for her and who name drops her for personal gain after Blake-gate,’ a second insider added.

‘She has a new album in the works and is shocked by how much drama she was pulled into. She won’t let external factors hurt her career.’

The once best friends haven’t been pictured together for four months. The last time was when Lively and Swift enjoyed a double date with their respective partners Ryan Reynolds and Travis Kelce in Manhattan in October.

Questions were raised earlier this month when the actress failed to attend the Super Bowl, with Swift instead flanked by her collaborator Ice Spice, social media influencer Ashley Avignone and Haim sisters Alana, Este and Danielle.

Swift was dragged into the explosive saga last month when her It Ends with Us co-star Baldoni countersued Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds, 48, for $400 million.

Baldoni claimed the Cruel Summer singer made him feel like he ‘needed to comply with Blake’s direction for the script’.

Lively later appeared to threaten Baldoni by comparing herself to Game of Thrones character Khaleesi in a series of text messages, included as exhibits to court papers, in which she referred to Reynolds and her best friend as her ‘dragons’.

A source previously told DailyMail.com that the ‘uncool and unnecessary’ description was a shock for Swift who had never planned to be at the meeting, but arrived at Lively’s New York penthouse to find it was still ongoing.

‘For the time being she is taking a step back from Blake because she doesn’t want to get tangled in this more than she already has – which is far more than she ever needed to be,’ an insider told DailyMail.com.

Khaleesi, also known as Daenerys Targaryen and Mother of Dragons, is one of the main characters in Game of Thrones, which aired between 2011 to 2019.

She was portrayed as a villain after descending into madness and turning to vengeance due to trauma and loss.

Baldoni also claimed in the suit that Lively leveraged her friendship with the Grammy-winner to get her way behind the scenes.

He claimed the actress threatened to ‘change her mind’ about reaching out to Swift to secure the use of her hit 2020 track My Tears Ricochet.

Swift and Lively have been friends for a decade, with the pair celebrating milestones together and the singer even name dropping Lively’s children in her music.

She appeared to rally around the actress when rumours of rancour between her and Baldoni first started bubbling in August.

She was pictured arriving at Swift’s Rhode Island property, taking solace at the $17 million, eight bedroom estate alongside her husband Reynolds, to escape the frenzy.

Her past behaviour has come under increasing scrutiny in the months since.

She and husband Reynolds appeared to fuel the hostility towards them on Sunday night when he seemingly poked fun at his wife’s allegations at the SNL50: The Anniversary Special.

‘I have a question,’ he said, to which Tina Fey replied: ‘Oh Ryan Reynolds, how’s it going?’

In an apparent nod to the maelstrom of headlines, he responded: ‘Great – why, what have you heard?’

The reaction from viewers was predictably brutal, with many accusing the Hollywood power couple of using their clout to claw back public favour after months of bad headlines.

Lively made headlines when she accused Baldoni of sexual harassment in a bombshell lawsuit last year.

She alleged that Baldoni showed her explicit videos and photos of other women, openly discussed his struggles with pornography, and made inappropriate remarks about her appearance and weight.

Lively also accused the former Jane The Virgin star of entering her trailer while she was nude, and letting his ‘friends’ watch her film intimate scenes, along with other activities that created a ‘hostile work environment’.

Baldoni claimed in court filings they made efforts to usurp and undermine his input as the director of It Ends with Us.

The actor has denied the allegations, while Lively and Reynolds have denied the accusations made in litigation by him.
