Taylor Swift’s Silence in Blake Lively-Justin Baldoni Lawsuit Sparks Debate; Insider Claims She Could Be ‘The Smoking Gun’

The friendship between Taylor Swift and Blake Lively has faced questions due to the ongoing legal conflict between Lively and her It Ends with Us co-star and director, Justin Baldoni. A source suggests that Swift’s lack of commentary on the case might significantly impact Baldoni’s defense strategy.

For more than ten years, Taylor Swift and Blake Lively have enjoyed a strong friendship. Recently, they could be spotted side by side at the Super Bowl, enthusiastically supporting Travis Kelce. Furthermore, Swift holds the role of godmother to Lively’s three kids.

Yet, it appears that the strength of their relationship may have diminished following the allegations of sexual harassment made by Lively against Baldoni in a complaint filed back in December. This has sparked conjecture regarding the state of their friendship, as Swift has remained silent on the matter.

According to a source, Daily Mail reports that Taylor Swift felt exploited by Blake Lively following the filing of a countersuit by Baldoni in January. The countersuit contained text messages where Lively supposedly referred to Swift as one of her ‘Game of Thrones’ characters, a dragon. It’s said that Swift chose to distance herself from their friendship due to this incident.

Previously, Taylor Swift openly discussed instances of sexual assault. In the year 2017, she successfully sued a former DJ named David Mueller who had allegedly groped her at an event back in 2013. She was granted symbolic compensation of $1, and subsequently donated the money to charities assisting survivors of sexual assault.

Back in 2016, I, being a devoted fan, contributed $250,000 alongside Taylor Swift to support Kesha with her legal expenses during her court case against producer Lukasz ‘Dr. Luke’ Gottwald. Kesha had alleged that he subjected her to sexual assault and psychological abuse, though their contentious legal dispute was eventually settled in 2023.

Due to her past experiences and charitable contributions towards survivors of sexual assault, some people assumed that Taylor might openly endorse Blake publicly, given their friendship. However, as an insider pointed out, “Given Taylor’s status as a sexual assault survivor and her donations to victims’ funds, wouldn’t it be expected that she would publicly support Blake if indeed she held such sentiments towards her?

In his lawsuit response, Baldoni implies that Swift was part of an effort to put pressure on him. He states that there was a gathering concerning script revisions for the rooftop scene in It Ends with Us, which included Ryan Reynolds as well. Baldoni alleges that Swift’s involvement subtly suggested he should adhere to Lively’s requests.

As an ardent admirer putting it in my own words, I’m convinced that Taylor Swift’s silence might just be the turning point in Blake Lively’s case. If Taylor doesn’t back Blake, she could very well become the smoking gun in this legal battle. Given Taylor’s powerful public presence, her absence as a supporter could significantly shape how this lawsuit unfolds.
