Taylor Swift faced a significant setback as Blake Lively reportedly engaged in a legal dispute against her, according to a source's report.
Involvement of Taylor Swift in Legal Drama Linked to Blake Lively
Pop music sensation Taylor Swift, 35, finds herself entangled in a legal imbroglio, with her close friend Blake Lively at the heart of the matter. Swift has expressed distress not only over the ongoing lawsuit but also the perceived betrayal by her friend.
According to a source, Swift "still considers Blake a close friend, but she never expected to be so involved in this drama." This development unfolded due to a high-profile lawsuit concerning the film "It Ends With Us," which was initially slated for a 2024 release.
Swift's music, specifically the track "My Tears Ricochet," features in the film's promotional materials with her approval. However, she played no part in the film's casting, creative decisions, or scoring, ensuring her absence on set and any notes made on the film[2].
Swift was served a subpoena as part of the lawsuit against Blake Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and Lively's public relations agent. A spokesperson for Swift clarified that she was "not involved in any casting or creative decisions [on the film], she did not score the film, she never saw an edit or made any notes on the film."
The legal battle appears to have caused a rift in Swift's personal circle, with reports suggesting that her close friends, including Cara Delevingne, Gigi Hadid, and Sophie Turner, have distanced themselves from Lively. This move reportedly stems from perceptions that Lively attempted to involve Swift unnecessarily in the legal dispute, eroding trust[1].
As the lawsuit between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni (the film's director and co-star) continues, Taylor Swift maintains a minimal connection with the project, focusing on her music and steering clear of the controversy[1][2].
