REPORT: Blake Lively Reportedly Apologized to Taylor Swift for Involving Her in the Justin Baldoni Legal Dispute

Taylor Swift is known for having famous friends—see: the “squad”—and one of the most notable and public relationships is with Blake Lively.

After all, Swift is the godmother to Lively’s children—the two are very close.

But, according to reports, some tension arose between the women due to Lively’s ongoing legal dispute with her It Ends with Us director and co-star Justin Baldoni.

If true, this is understandable given that no one really wants to be part of an extremely public legal dispute that doesn’t directly involve them.

According to Page Six, though, Lively and Swift have now made up.

To quickly recap: Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni in December in which she claimed sexual harassment and retaliation; he then filed a lawsuit against Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and her publicist Leslie Sloane claiming defamation.

There are also other related lawsuits and more detailed claims.

Sloane has requested to be removed from the lawsuit. Baldoni, Lively, and Reynolds have denied the claims against them. A trial is scheduled to begin in March 2026.

How does Swift fit in? As reported by Page Six, Baldoni claimed that Lively tried to use Swift as leverage to get her preferences for a scene in the film approved.

Lively supposedly invited Baldoni to her home where Swift and Reynolds allegedly praised Lively’s vision.

Baldoni allegedly texted Lively afterward, “I really love what you did. It really does help a lot. Makes it so much more fun and interesting. (And I would have felt that way without Ryan or Taylor).” Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, told TMZ in February that Swift could possibly be deposed.
