Alright, folks, let’s dive into the latest Hollywood drama swirling around "It Ends With Us", because this one’s got everything—lawsuits, A-list friendships, and Taylor Swift caught in the middle. Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni are heading to trial in 2026 after failing to settle their legal dispute, and Swift’s silence on the matter has people talking.
Now, Swift and Lively have been tight since 2015. They’ve vacationed together, supported each other’s careers, and even swapped babysitting duties (okay, maybe not that last one, but you get the idea).
So when Lively accused Baldoni of sexual harassment on set, and Baldoni fired back with claims that Lively made it all up to save face after the movie’s PR struggles, Swift’s name inevitably got pulled into the mess.
While Swift has made no public statements, PR experts say her silence “speaks volumes.” Some speculate she’s trying to protect her brand—after all, she just wrapped a "billion-dollar" tour and can’t afford to alienate fans.
Crisis communication expert Doug Eldridge even compared her strategy to vanilla ice cream—safe, inoffensive, and broadly appealing. In other words, staying quiet might just be the smartest move.
But here’s where it gets tricky—Baldoni’s lawsuit "directly" mentions Swift. He claims that Lively used their friendship as leverage, allegedly bringing Swift and Ryan Reynolds into a private meeting to pressure him into accepting script changes.
In one text exchange, Baldoni even joked that he didn’t "need" Swift and Reynolds to convince him, but still went along with Lively’s rewrite. And then there’s Lively’s now-infamous message calling Swift and Reynolds her “dragons” who protect her.
With all this, legal experts say Swift "could" be subpoenaed to testify. If that happens, her testimony would be highly credible, thanks to her reputation and media savvy. But it all depends on cross-examination—if Baldoni’s team can poke holes in her story, things could get messy.
And let’s not forget, Baldoni also claims that Lively made “veiled threats” about the use of Swift’s song "My Tears Ricochet" in the film’s trailer and soundtrack. Oh, and Swift reportedly helped choose the actress who plays young Lily Bloom. So while she may not be "directly" involved, she’s definitely not "completely" uninvolved either.
Bottom line? Taylor Swift is trying to stay out of the storm, but with court dates looming and her name popping up in key conversations, that might not be an option for much longer. Stay tuned—this legal drama is just getting started.
