Pop icon Taylor Swift is reportedly feeling blindsided and used after being dragged into the legal battle between actress Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, the director and co-star of It Ends With Us.
According to an insider report by Page Six, Swift is not pleased that her name has been indirectly linked to the lawsuit, which stems from a dispute over script revisions for the upcoming film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel.
"Taylor really wishes Blake hadn’t pulled her into this mess," a source revealed. "She values genuine friendships and hates unnecessary drama, but at this point, she can’t help but feel used."
"If you ever get around to watching Game of Thrones, you’ll appreciate that I’m Khaleesi, and like her, I happen to have a few dragons," Lively allegedly wrote to Baldoni, adding that her “dragons” fiercely protect those she fights for.
While Lively didn’t name names, many speculate that she was referring to her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and Swift, both of whom wield massive public influence. Baldoni himself appeared to acknowledge Swift’s potential involvement when he later messaged Lively about her script changes, saying:
"I really love what you did. It really does help a lot. Makes it so much more fun and interesting. (And I would have felt that way without Ryan and Taylor)."
Swift, known for enthusiastically supporting her friends’ creative projects, has been notably silent about It Ends With Us. Unlike other films she has championed—such as Zoë Kravitz’s Blink Twice—she has not publicly endorsed Lively’s movie, which deals with themes of domestic abuse and toxic relationships.
Fans have speculated whether her reluctance to promote the film is linked to her discomfort over being inadvertently dragged into the drama.
Swift and Lively have been close since 2015, bonding over their shared love of pop culture and spending holidays together. However, sources suggest that this unexpected controversy may have left a dent in their friendship.
"Taylor cherishes real friendships, but she doesn’t like being caught up in situations that aren’t hers to handle," an insider noted. "She just wants to stay far away from this drama."
Neither Swift, Lively, nor Baldoni have publicly addressed the situation, leaving fans to wonder—is this the beginning of a rift between Hollywood’s favorite besties?

Blake’s ‘Dragons’
The controversy erupted after Baldoni’s countersuit revealed alleged text messages from Lively, in which she described herself as Khaleesi from Game of Thrones—a reference to the powerful warrior queen who controls fire-breathing dragons."If you ever get around to watching Game of Thrones, you’ll appreciate that I’m Khaleesi, and like her, I happen to have a few dragons," Lively allegedly wrote to Baldoni, adding that her “dragons” fiercely protect those she fights for.
