Taylor Swift has reportedly distanced herself from her friend of a decade, Blake Lively, after she became unwillingly embroiled in the legal drama between her and actor Justin Baldoni.
A source told the Daily Mail:
"If Taylor had one wish now, it would be to never have met Blake. There were some beautiful moments between them, but the problems that have come out of the Baldoni affair have made all those memories worse."
Taylor Swift is reportedly now seeing her friendship with Blake Lively as a source of stress and frustration. She has finally broken up with the relationship, and the drama of the movie "It Ends With Us" was the tipping point that pushed her to take this step.
The source also adds that Blake always wanted to be the "leader of the group" and Taylor had to "put her down to earth." Taylor Swift's partner, Travis Kelce, has also taken her side and recently unfollowed Blake Lively's husband, actor Ryan Reynolds, from Instagram.
According to reports, Taylor and Travis feel "disappointed and disgusted" by the way the other party implicated Taylor in their feud with Justin Baldoni.
Why did all this happen?
Justin Baldoni is suing Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds for $400 million, accusing them of blackmail and manipulation on the set of "It Ends With Us." He claims that Blake used her friendship with Taylor Swift to gain control over the film's production. Justin Baldoni's lawyers even say that Taylor Swift was threatened by Blake Lively's lawyers with the release of private messages if she didn't publicly support Blake.
Blake Lively's lawyer has denied the allegations. Meanwhile, Taylor's representative has denied any involvement in the "It Ends With Us" project, stressing that she "was never on set, had no influence on the casting or production, and did not see the film until after its release."
Despite all this noise, Justin Baldoni's defense has withdrawn its call to testify from Taylor Swift, after, according to sources, "they voluntarily obtained the information they needed."
