There’s been a heap of chatter lately about Taylor Swift and Blake Lively’s friendship after Taylor’s name got dragged into the legal between between Blake and Justin Baldoni.
Rumours have been flying that the two aren’t even on speaking terms anymore, with some reports claiming Taylor has been “ghosting” Blake, while others reckon they’re working things out. So, what’s actually going on? Here’s what we know.
How did Taylor Swift get pulled into the It Ends With Us drama?
It all kicked off when Blake Lively filed a lawsuit against her It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni in December 2024, accusing him of sexual harassment and retaliation. Baldoni responded with a countersuit, naming both Blake and her husband, Ryan Reynolds.
In his legal filing, Baldoni claimed that Blake referred to Taylor Swift and Ryan as her “dragons”, saying they’d “protect” her in any dispute over the film. Because of this, Taylor was subpoenaed to testify in the case.
That subpoena didn’t last long as Taylor’s legal team fought back, calling her involvement “tabloid clickbait” in a statement to the BBC. Blake’s spokesperson also confirmed they supported Taylor’s team in getting the subpoenas tossed.
There’s no public evidence Taylor ever threatened Baldoni or was directly involved in the creative disputes.
Are Taylor Swift and Blake Lively actually feuding?
This is where things get murky. Daily Mail published a report quoting a source who claimed, “Even though Taylor has totally cut ties with her, Blake hasn’t with Taylor. She’s been reaching out to her with texts, voicemails and even emails, begging to mend what they once had. Blake isn’t giving up on trying to get her friendship with Taylor back on track.”
The source also said, “Taylor hasn’t responded to any of Blake’s pleas and has ignored all her grovelling excuses.”
But other outlets have painted a much less dramatic picture. According to a source who spoke to PEOPLE, “Taylor is working to trust Blake again but it’s going to take some time.”
The same source said the two “aren’t as close and haven’t been spending as much time together as they did in the past,” but they are “working towards being on good terms”.
So are Taylor Swift and Blake Lively still friends?
At this stage, there’s no official comment from Taylor or Blake’s representatives about the current state of their friendship. Most of the dramatic claims about “ghosting” and “begging” are coming from anonymous sources, not the stars themselves. There’s also no evidence that Taylor was ever directly involved in the legal fight beyond being subpoenaed (which was quickly dropped).
What seems clear is that their friendship has been strained by the public legal drama, but there’s no solid proof of a major feud. Both women are keeping things private and not engaging in any public back-and-forth.
It seem that the reality here is more nuanced than the headlines suggest. Taylor and Blake might not be as close as they once were, but they’re not enemies either. Honestly, we’ll probably never know.
Right now they’re just two people navigating a very complicated and very public situation.
