Blake Lively is reportedly making efforts to repair her friendship with Taylor Swift after a reported fallout. The tension began when Swift was dragged into Lively’s legal battle with her It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni. Sources claim Lively has been persistently reaching out to Swift, but the singer has not responded.
According to Daily Mail, Lively has sent multiple texts, voicemails, and emails to Swift, hoping to mend their decade-long friendship. The Gossip Girl star allegedly insists there was a misunderstanding and that she would never intentionally harm their bond. However, Swift has reportedly ignored all attempts at reconciliation.
The rift started when Baldoni subpoenaed Swift as a witness in his defamation lawsuit against Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds. The lawsuit, filed in March 2026, alleges that Lively used Swift’s influence to intimidate Baldoni. The legal documents referred to Swift as one of Lively’s “dragons,” implying she was leveraged in the dispute.
“The message could not have been clearer. Baldoni was not just dealing with Lively. He was also facing Lively’s ‘dragons,’ two of the most influential and wealthy celebrities in the world, who were not afraid to make things very difficult for him,” the lawsuit stated, as reported by Page Six.
Although the subpoena against Swift was later dismissed, the damage to her friendship with Lively was already done. Reports suggest Swift felt “used” by the reference to her as a “dragon” in legal documents. An insider claimed she was unhappy about being dragged into the controversy without her consent.
Lively and Swift have been close friends for over a decade, often supporting each other publicly. Swift has attended Lively’s family events, and Lively has appeared in Swift’s music videos. Their friendship was considered one of the strongest in Hollywood, making the reported fallout surprising to fans.
Baldoni’s lawsuit stems from allegations made by Lively, who accused him of misconduct during the filming of It Ends With Us. The legal battle has been ongoing, with both sides presenting conflicting accounts. Baldoni denies all allegations and claims Lively and Reynolds defamed him.
Fans of both Swift and Lively have expressed disappointment over the rumored split. Many took to social media, hoping the two would reconcile soon. Some supporters believe the issue may have been blown out of proportion, while others think Swift’s silence indicates a deeper conflict.
“Taylor and Blake were friendship goals. It’s sad to see them drift apart over something like this,” one fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
“If Taylor isn’t responding, there must be a good reason. She doesn’t cut people off without cause,” another fan commented.
Legal experts suggest that celebrity friendships can be complicated when legal matters are involved. Being named in a lawsuit without prior knowledge can strain even the closest bonds. Swift’s decision to distance herself may be a way to avoid further entanglement in the case.
Lively has not publicly commented on the rumors. Reynolds, known for his witty social media presence, has also stayed silent on the matter. Swift, who is currently on her Eras Tour, has not addressed the situation either.
The Midnights singer has previously been vocal about loyalty and trust in friendships. Her 2017 album Reputation touched on themes of betrayal and media scrutiny. Fans speculate that being referenced in a legal battle may have triggered past frustrations for Swift.
Meanwhile, Baldoni’s lawsuit continues to unfold. The Jane the Virgin actor maintains his innocence and claims the allegations against him are false. The trial is set for March 2026, and more developments are expected as the date approaches.
If the reports are true, this would be one of the biggest celebrity friendship breakups in recent years. Swift and Lively’s bond was often highlighted in the media, making their rumored fallout a major talking point.
For now, it remains unclear whether the two will reconcile. Fans will likely keep a close eye on their social media interactions and public appearances for any signs of reconciliation.
