Following reports that suggested a strain in their relationship after Swift\u2019s name was mentioned in Justin Baldoni\u2019s lawsuit, an insider has refuted these claims, stating that the popstar has never distanced herself from her girl.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"\"><picture><source title=\"Taylor Swift and Blake Lively spotted together in Brooklyn\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\/ht-img\/img\/2025\/01\/30\/400x225\/ts_bl_1704997479191_1738196878894.png\" media=\"(max-width:767px)\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Taylor Swift and Blake Lively spotted together in Brooklyn\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\/ht-img\/img\/2025\/01\/30\/550x309\/ts_bl_1704997479191_1738196878894.png\" alt=\"Taylor Swift\u2019s true feelings on Blake Lively \u2018dispute\u2019 claims revealed amid Justin Baldoni lawsuit\" \/> <\/picture><figcaption>Taylor Swift and Blake Lively spotted together in Brooklyn<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2>All is well between Taylor Swift and Blake Lively<\/h2>\n<p>Despite speculation that Taylor Swift is pulling away from Blake Lively over Justin Baldoni\u2019s legal troubles with Lively, sources confirm their bond remains strong.<\/p>\n<p>Reports claimed that Swift, 35, was creating distance from Lively, 37, to steer clear of controversy. However, an insider told Page Six that these claims are \u201cnot true\u201d and that there is no tension between the two. While Swift has not publicly addressed the lawsuit, she continues to stand by Lively behind the scenes.<\/p>\n<p>Also read: Donald Trump signs Laken Riley Act aimed at detaining migrants charged with crimes<\/p>\n<p>Swift was dragged into the controversy after Justin Baldoni, in his counter lawsuit, accused Lively of using her to sway him during a meeting with Lively\u2019s husband, Ryan Reynolds.<\/p>\n<p>The It Ends with Us director claimed that Swift\u2019s presence at the meeting made him feel obligated to align with Lively\u2019s script preferences for the film.<\/p>\n<h3>It Ends with Us controversy<\/h3>\n<p>Back in December, Gossip Girl star Blake Lively sued her It Ends with Us co-star and director, Justin Baldoni, accusing him of sexual harassment, creating a toxic work environment, adding intimate scenes without her consent, and running a smear campaign against her. Baldoni, however, has denied all allegations and even released behind-the-scenes footage to defend himself.<\/p>\n<p>As one of Lively\u2019s closest friends, Taylor Swift has been associated with the case from the start, whether through leaked PR emails from Baldoni\u2019s team or direct mentions in the lawsuit.<\/p>\n<p>Also read: Taylor Swift is \u2018taking a step back\u2019 from Blake Lively \u2018because she doesn\u2019t want to\u2026\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Known for publicly supporting her friends\u2019 projects, Swift has been noticeably quiet about It Ends with Us. When the film, which explored the sensitive theme of domestic violence, premiered in August 2024, she didn\u2019t encourage fans to see it in theaters\u2014something she had done for Zo\u00eb Kravitz\u2019s Blink Twice.<\/p>\n<p>Justin Baldoni\u2019s legal team claims he felt pressured by Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and Taylor Swift during discussions about It Ends With Us, citing messages where Lively allegedly referred to Swift and Reynolds as her \u201cdragons\u201d who would \u201cfight\u201d for her. They argue this made Baldoni feel he wasn\u2019t just dealing with Lively but also two powerful celebrities.<\/p>\n<p>Lively\u2019s lawyers dismissed the claims as a classic case of an abuser flipping the narrative, emphasising that she had concrete evidence of sexual harassment and retaliation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite rumours of a rift caused by Justin Baldoni&#8217;s $400 million lawsuit, sources reveal that Taylor Swift&#8217;s bond with Lively remains unbroken.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":29633,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[463,1515,1596,1597,31],"class_list":["post-29632","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-taylor-swifts","tag-blake-lively","tag-justin-baldoni","tag-lawsuit","tag-sexual-harassment","tag-taylor-swift"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
