A\u00a0Taylor Swift twist in Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni\u2019s legal battle\u00a0could be the \u201csmoking gun,\u201d according to a source per Daily Mail. The source believes that Swift could work in favor of Baldoni\u2019s case to cast doubts on Lively\u2019s accusations.<\/p>\n

Lively and Baldoni both starred in the Colleen Hoover film adaption of It Ends With Us based on her best-selling novel of the same name. The actors played the lead characters Lily Bloom and Ryle Kincaid in the film. Baldoni also was the director of the film. Lively is suing Baldoni for \ud835\udcc8\u212f\ud835\udccdual harassment and for attempting to run a \u201csmear campaign\u201d against her. Baldoni followed up with his own lawsuit against Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and publicist Leslie Sloane for $400 million.<\/p>\n

\"Why<\/p>\n

Now a source from the Daily Mail believes that Swift\u2019s lack of support to Lively is telling given their friendship and Swift\u2019s past being \ud835\udcc8\u212f\ud835\udccdually abused.<\/p>\n

\u201cTaylor is a \ud835\udcc8\u212f\ud835\udccdual assault victim and\u00a0spent more than a year of her life fighting\u00a0for a case that she knew she would win. She has donated money to \ud835\udcc8\u212f\ud835\udccdual assault victims\u2019 funds. If Taylor truly supported Blake, would she not want to publicly back her?\u201d the source asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome people feel [Taylor] should be offering comfort and using her platform to rally Swifties in support of what is right,\u201d the source continued.<\/p>\n

Swift has claimed no involvement in the film except for her\u00a0 song \u201cMy Tears Ricochet\u201d was used in the trailer and a scene in the film. According to a source per Us Weekly, the singer was\u00a0did not see the film prior to it\u2019s release.<\/p>\n

\u201cTaylor never even saw the film or a single scene from it until the movie was in theaters,\u201d an insider notes. \u201cShe is not relevant to the case.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another source via Us Weekly argues that Swift should not be in any way be involved in the legal battle.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile she and Blake are friends, this case is now a legal matter for the courts to resolve. Dragging Taylor into it is unnecessary and misrepresents what really happened.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Daily Mail source adds that Swift staying mum in the case speaks volumes. \u201cInstead, Taylor appears to have gone silent and is staying out of the public eye. This will likely play a role in Justin\u2019s defense.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Taylor does not believe Blake, she will be the smoking gun in this case,\u201d they concluded.<\/p>\n

How is Blake Lively and Taylor Swift\u2019s friendship now?<\/h3>\n

\"Why<\/p>\n

Due to the case,\u00a0Swift and Lively\u2019s friendship\u00a0has taken a hit. The two began their friendship in 2015 and Swift is the godmother to Lively and Ryan Reynolds four children.<\/p>\n

Swift \u201cis\u00a0taking a break from their friendship\u00a0right now,\u201d a source told the outlet, adding, \u201cTaylor is really hurt by this whole situation and feels like a pawn.\u201d<\/p>\n

Baldoni referenced an alleged text sent by Lively in his complaint when the actress seemingly\u00a0referred to Swift and Reynolds as her \u201cdragons\u201d\u00a0in an alleged attempt to get her scene changes in the film.<\/p>\n

A trial date for Lively and Baldoni has been set for March 9, 2026.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
