Taylor Swift‘s friendship with Blake Lively could be in serious jeopardy. The singer is said to be backing away from her longtime pal at a time when the actress may need her the most. Unfortunately, sources claim that Swift wants nothing to do with the bad publicity and drama surrounding Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, as their lawsuit with Justin Baldoni continues to get messy and make headlines.
According to The Daily Mail, Taylor Swift was mentioned in Justin Baldoni’s $400 million lawsuit against Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. Alleged text messages from Lively to Baldoni reveal that the actress compared herself to Game of Thrones character Khaleesi and referred to Swift and Reynolds and her dragons.
Baldoni claims that Lively used both Reynolds and Swift’s influence to exert power. Ultimately, looking to get her way in the production process of their film, It Ends With Us. For her part, the former Gossip Girl star claims that Baldoni sexually harassed her on the set of the film.
Meanwhile, Taylor Swift was allegedly upset about being dragged into the drama. An insider now claims that the singer has taken a step back from her friendship with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds despite being the godmother of their children.
Taylor Swift and Blake Lively Friendship in Jeopardy Amid Blistering Lawsuit
“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,” the source revealed.
“Her friends also think that Blake’s text to Justin was uncool and unnecessary because she was essentially used as an intimidation tactic. She was referred to as some kind of pet or possession.”
Fans have also debated the drama between Lively and Baldoni online. After Swift was mentioned in the lawsuit, her fans dove deeper into the conversation as well.
“Blake was using Taylor for her own benefit. She can’t be trusted,” one person commented on the post.
“I had a feeling this was coming,” another stated.
“It just seemed like a complete abuse of their friendship,” a third person wrote.
“I can’t wait to hear the song written about this situation. It will be epic,” a fourth commenter quipped.
Lively and Swift have been friends for several years. The two women have often been seen supporting each other. The singer has written songs in reference to Lively and her family. However, it now seems that she has to think about her own image amid all of the chaos that is surrounding her former bestie at the moment.
Meanwhile, the drama comes at a time when Swift is in the limelight. Her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, recently won the AFC Championship. Now, he and his time, the Kansas City Chiefs, are on their way back to the Super Bowl.
Last year, Blake Lively attended the big game alongside Taylor Swift. She and Ryan Reynolds, along with some other famous friends, were seen cheering on the Chiefs in a private suite. However, it doesn’t look like the actress will be by Swift’s side this year. It remains to be seen if the singer will bring other friends with her to the Super Bowl. Perhaps Selena Gomez and her fiance, Benny Blanco, will be free to join Swift as she roots for Kelce to win his third straight championship.
