Well, well, well... looks like Hollywood¡¯s latest drama is not a Netflix limited series but real-life legal warfare, and yes, Taylor Swift is officially involved. The once-inseparable blonde duo¡ªBlake Lively and Taylor Swift¡ªare now the centre of a spiralling court case that has every corner of the internet gagged.
Thanks to actor-director Justin Baldoni¡¯s ongoing legal beef with Blake Lively (yes, this all started on the set of It Ends With Us), a federal judge has just approved his team¡¯s request to access private texts between Blake and Taylor. The court says it is relevant to Lively¡¯s claims of harassment and retaliation.
Blake originally sued Baldoni, alleging sexual harassment on set and a post-drama smear campaign involving her husband, Ryan Reynolds. Baldoni clapped back hard with a defamation countersuit, dragging in not only Lively and Reynolds but even The New York Times.
While some of Baldoni¡¯s claims got tossed (including defamation), the green light to dig into Swift¡¯s DMs? That is a major win.
Sources close to the scene claim Taylor is livid. She reportedly feels used and blindsided, especially after Blake allegedly referred to her as one of her ¡°dragons,¡±? a term that Swift supposedly found deeply manipulative.
¡°She wishes she had never even met Blake,¡± said an insider. Ouch.?And Swift¡¯s inner circle is not staying quiet. Travis Kelce, a.k.a. Mr. Super Bowl and Taylor¡¯s boyfriend, has unfollowed Reynolds on Instagram. The couples¡¯ friendship? Currently on ice.
Meanwhile, Swift¡¯s team is furiously trying to distance her from the entire chaos, insisting she had zero creative role in the film and was merely attached via one song.?No set visits. No editing notes. Just vibes, and now, legal fire.
With court dates looming and friendships combusting, one thing¡¯s for sure: Hollywood¡¯s favourite squad just became its messiest storyline. And with Swift¡¯s texts under legal review, this drama is only heating up.
