Taylor Swift is reportedly distancing herself from Blake Lively due to the ongoing legal battle between Lively and her It Ends With Us co-star, Justin Baldoni. Tensions between Swift and Lively have escalated due to Baldoni's countersuit against Lively, which allegedly involved Swift and Reynolds urging Baldoni to change scripts, putting strain on their nearly decade-long friendship, which began in 2015.

The It Ends With Us drama between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively is escalating, with reports involving Taylor Swift emerging as netizens find new evidence, despite Swift not being directly sued. Melanie King, an influencer, has revealed that Taylor Swift was indirectly involved in Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's film It Ends With Us, as Swift watched a casting tape for Isabella Ferrer, who played the younger Betty, and signed off on it with Lively.

Baldoni was questioned about his methods for convincing Taylor Swift to include her song in It Ends With Us. “I had nothing to do with it. I mean this is all Blake.” He went on to call her a marketing genius.
As per Daily Mail, Taylor Swift is not in communication with Blake Lively due to legal issues with Justin Baldoni. She was invited to SNL50 but chose not to be seen there due to Blake's attendance with Ryan Reynolds. Taylor and Blake's rift was further rumored when they did not appear together at the Super Bowl, with Taylor cheering for Travis Kelce alongside others.
Blake Lively's legal battle with Justin Baldoni has intensified as she claims multiple women felt uneasy around him on the set of It Ends With Us. Lively's legal team argues that this new evidence strengthens her case and contradicts Baldoni's defense, despite Lively's initial reluctance to come forward.

Lively's attorneys demand Baldoni's phone records, claiming they could reveal reputation damage, while Baldoni's team criticizes the request.
