Taylor Swift and Blake Lively have been inseparable for almost a decade, so the absence of Lively from Swift's Super Bowl suite in New Orleans was something of a talking point, particularly given that she came with her to last year's game in Las Vegas. Rumors have emerged of a split, which has been linked by some to Lively's recent legal battle with her co-star on It Ends With Us, Justin Baldoni. But neither Swift nor Lively has commented on the rumors, and fans are left wondering about the state of their friendship.
Taylor Swift's involvement in Blake Lively’s legal dispute case has now taken a major turn
Blake Lively and Taylor Swift have shared a strong friendship for nearly a decade, making it somewhat surprising that Lively was absent from Swift’s VIP suite at the Super Bowl in New Orleans. Just a year ago, she was by Swift’s side at the big game in Las Vegas, fueling speculation about why she skipped this year's event.
There have been rumors about the two supposedly being at odds, with some speculating that Lively's current lawsuit against actor and filmmaker Justin Baldoni—her co-star in the 2024 film It Ends With Us—is the reason for the alleged feud. Neither Swift nor Lively has commented on the rumors, however, leaving fans to speculate on what is actually occurring.
Blake Lively has allegedly filed a lawsuit against Justin Baldoni, alleging he sexually harassed her while filming the two of them together. The claims have been vehemently denied by Baldoni and he in turn has brought a $400 million lawsuit claiming civil extortion, invasion of privacy, and defamation against Lively's husband Ryan Reynolds as well.
Taylor Swift's name came up in the controversy over an apparent text message from Lively, in which she apparently named Swift as one of her "dragons"—a guardian in her fight with Baldoni. The actor posted a screenshot of the message, implying that Lively used Swift's name as backing for her argument.
Reports indicate that Swift is not pleased to be brought into the scandal, which might have created tension between her and Lively, possibly weakening their long-time friendship.
A new report from Daily Mail has revealed that Swift's involvement in the case has now taken a major turn. "In an embarrassing new blow for Blake Lively, Taylor Swift will be subpoenaed to be questioned under oath as part of the on-going Lively vs Justin Baldoni lawsuit battle, according to a source close to the legal action," read Daily Mail's report.
Both sides in the dispute have mentioned Swift in their filings, making her part of the first group of potential witnesses contacted by Baldoni's team. The report also mentions "It Ends With Us" actors Jenny Slate and Isabela Ferrer, among others, in the witness list.
