Taylor Swift and Blake Lively: What's Really Going On with Their Friendship amid Justin Baldoni Legal Drama (Sources)

Taylor Swift and Blake Lively's friendship hasn't faltered amid Lively's legal drama with Justin Baldoni.

There's been no rift between the singer and actress despite reports of a strained relationship between Swift, 35, and Lively, 37, sources confirm to PEOPLE.

Lively and Baldoni, 41, have been embroiled in legal back and forth surrounding the production and release of the movie It Ends with Us, which Baldoni directed and both he and Lively starred in. Swift has yet to publicly comment on the situation.

The Gossip Girl star sued Baldoni, his production company Wayfarer Studios, producer Jamey Heath, Baldoni's publicist Jennifer Abel, crisis publicist Melissa Nathan and more in December for alleged sexual harassment and a retaliatory smear campaign.

Baldoni, meanwhile, filed a countersuit of $400 million in January against Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, their publicist Leslie Sloane and Sloane's PR firm Vision PR, Inc. claiming that Lively took measures to control the film, accusing them of defamation and extortion.

He also sued the New York Times for $250 million accusing them of libel, among other claims, over its Dec. 21 article detailing Lively's complaint against him.

Late last month, Swift was mentioned in Baldoni's latest complaint, when Lively referred to the musician as "one of her dragons" in an alleged text exchange following an interaction he describes with Swift at Lively and Reynolds' New York home about a script change.

Baldoni had been "summoned" to meet at the couple's penthouse where Swift arrived and had "began praising Lively’s script" during his visit, according to the complaint. "Baldoni understood the subtext: he needed to comply with Lively’s direction for the script," the complaint claims.

He didn't need "Reynolds and her megacelebrity friend to pressure him," the complaint states, and in the alleged text exchange, Baldoni told Lively that he liked her changes. The actress then allegedly referred to herself as Khaleesi from Game of Thrones and called her husband and Swift her "dragons."

Unless Lively and Baldoni reach a settlement, their trial is scheduled for March 2026.

Swift previously showed her support for It Ends with Us by allowing her 2020 song "my tears ricochet" to be part of the soundtrack.

Lively and Swift's friendship goes back several years. Swift had mentioned the names of Lively and Reynolds' children in her song "Betty" and is also the godmother to daughters Betty, James and Inez. (The couple also have a fourth child, infant son Olin.)

Most recently in October, Lively and Reynolds, 48, had a double date night with Swift and her boyfriend Travis Kelce in New York City.
