Blake Lively Reaches Out to Taylor Swift After Legal Feud!

In an unexpected twist, Blake Lively has issued an apology to her close friend, Taylor Swift, after involving the pop star in her ongoing legal battle with Justin Baldoni, a source tells Page Six. The apology comes amid a legal dispute between Blake and Justin, which has stirred up some tension. Here’s everything we know about the situation and how it unfolded.

The Apology

Blake, 37, wanted to mend things with Taylor, 35, after the singer was brought into the controversy. According to an insider, Blake truly missed her friendship with Taylor and wanted to ensure there was no lasting damage to their bond.

“It was important to Blake to be on good terms again with Taylor. It was never her intention to hurt Taylor or cause any harm to their friendship,” the source explains. Blake had no ill intentions and simply wanted to move forward from the situation.

The insider also added that Taylor appreciated the apology, finding it genuine and heartfelt. There are no hard feelings on Taylor’s side, and she’s ready to leave the matter behind.

The Legal Dispute: What Happened?

The drama began when Justin Baldoni, the actor and director of the movie It Ends With Us, filed a $400 million lawsuit. In the suit, Baldoni claimed that Blake Lively tried to leverage Taylor Swift’s influence to gain creative control over the film adaptation of the popular novel by Colleen Hoover. According to Baldoni, at one point, he was invited to Blake’s New York City penthouse where Ryan Reynolds (Blake’s husband) and a “famously close friend” were present. It is believed that this “close friend” was none other than Taylor Swift.

During the meeting, Reynolds and Swift reportedly praised Blake’s script rewrites for a scene in the domestic violence drama. This meeting allegedly made Baldoni feel pressured, as he believed that the influence of both Reynolds and Swift was being used to sway his opinion. After the meeting, Baldoni supposedly sent a text to Blake, saying he liked her revisions, adding, “Makes it so much more fun and interesting. (And I would have felt that way without Ryan or Taylor).”

she allegedly responded by calling Swift and Reynolds “absolute titans” in the industry—referring to them as the “dragons” who would protect her. This reference drew a comparison to the characters in the hit show Game of Thrones, with Swift and Reynolds acting as powerful figures standing by Blake’s side.

Baldoni’s Lawsuit and Claims of Pressure

In the lawsuit, Baldoni claimed that he felt obligated to praise her’s script and that he didn’t need the influence of “megacelebrity” friends like Swift and Reynolds to make his decision. According to Baldoni, the situation wasn’t just about working with her, but about facing pressure from her powerful “dragons”—two of the most influential celebrities in the world.

Baldoni’s legal team made it clear that he felt the weight of being influenced by these high-profile personalities, and this dynamic played a major role in the ongoing legal battle.

Could Taylor Swift Be Deposed?

As the case continues, the legal team for Justin Baldoni hinted that Taylor Swift might eventually be called for a deposition. Bryan Freedman, Baldoni’s attorney, mentioned in February that Swift could provide evidence in the case. Although the situation is still developing, Freedman stated that any person with relevant information would likely be deposed.

The case is scheduled to go to trial in March 2026, but it remains to be seen whether Swift will be formally involved in the courtroom drama.

Moving Forward

Despite the legal tensions and drama, it seems that Blake and Taylor are on the mend. Blake’s apology and Taylor’s positive response show that their friendship is important to both of them. The source confirmed that Taylor has no hard feelings and is ready to move past the situation.

For now, both stars appear focused on their careers and personal lives, leaving the legal drama behind as they rebuild their strong friendship.
