Blake Lively Fears Taylor Swift's Album Drop
We're not saying that we think track #6 is about Blake Lively, but we are saying we wouldn't be surprised if the song titled "Ruin the Friendship" referenced a former bestie. "Taylor's lyrics can be brutal," a source explained. "And Blake doesn't want to end up immortalized in a track." The source also added that despite being friends for years, the "tension" from Blake's mistake hasn't dissipated at all.
The source also added that Blake is anxious about a "burn book moment," and is basically waiting with baited breath to see if any of Taylor's newest songs will be dissing her. If she does, the odds their friendship ever mends itself are pretty low.
Blake Lively & Taylor Swift's Fallout
As It Ends With Us costars Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni launched lawsuits back and forth at one another, Taylor Swift unfortunately got caught in the crossfire. In Baldoni's January 20025 defamation countersuit against Lively, he references a "megacelebrity friend" that pretty much everyone took to mean Taylor Swift.
He notes that this celebrity along with Ryan Reynolds pressured him to accept a script rewrite from Lively. One text from Lively allegedly referred to Reynolds and "Taylor" as her "dragons," inspiring the metaphor that she had powerful protectors."
On May 9, 2025, Baldoni’s legal team subpoenaed Taylor Swift as a witness, seeking her text messages with Lively, claiming they could be "relevant evidence." Taylor's spokesperson immediately shut this down, saying that she had absolutely no creative involvement in the film.
Baldoni’s lawyers also claimed that Lively’s team attempted to pressure Swift into publicly supporting Lively—suggesting that if Swift refused, private text messages might be leaked. They also alleged that Lively asked Swift to delete certain texts, which, of course, Blake has vehemently denied. But things worked out in Justin's favor, as a judge ordered Blake to produce relevant text messages with Swift to Baldoni’s team. Surprisingly, though, a few weeks later, the subpoena for Taylor was withdrawn. Sources said the needed information had already been obtained.. and many fans thought that meant Taylor handed over the necessary information without a fight.
