Taylor Swift retreats from Blake Lively’s legal battle with Justin Baldoni

Taylor Swift Distances Herself from Blake Lively’s Legal Woes with Justin Baldoni.

Pop Star Retreats Amid Concerns Over Unintended Involvement. Pop superstar Taylor Swift is reportedly taking a step back from her close friendship with actress Blake Lively, following the latter’s ongoing legal battle with director Justin Baldoni.

The Cruel Summer singer unexpectedly found herself entangled in the dispute after Baldoni alleged in his $400 million lawsuit that Lively had used Swift to “pressure him” during a meeting with her husband, Ryan Reynolds.

Baldoni claimed that Swift’s presence at the meeting made him feel like he “needed to comply with Blake’s direction for the script” of their film It Ends with Us.

The situation took a turn for the worse when Lively reportedly escalated tensions by referencing herself as a Game of Thrones character in text messages, stating: “I’m Khaleesi, and like her, I happen to have dragons.”

The messages seemed to imply that she viewed Reynolds and Swift as her “dragons.” According to sources, Swift is now “taking a step back from Blake because she doesn’t want to get tangled in this more than she already has – which is far more than she ever needed to be.”

Her friends are also said to have found Lively’s “Khaleesi” claims “uncool and unnecessary,” as they perceived it as an attempt to use Swift as an “intimidation tactic.”

Swift, who had previously appeared to support Lively amid the tensions with Justin Baldoni, is now consciously distancing herself from the situation. “Taylor has politely backed away from it all. She is conscious of her image and hates that she was even mentioned,” another insider revealed.

The last time Swift and Lively were spotted together was in October, when they were on a double date with Reynolds and Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, in Manhattan. Since then, the pop star has opted to maintain a low profile in relation to her friend’s legal troubles.
