Leaked texts suggest Taylor Swift played a larger role in Blake Lively’s film dispute

The ongoing legal battle between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni has taken a sharp turn with the release of unsealed depositions and private text messages. New evidence suggests that Taylor Swift was far more than a casual observer in the behind-the-scenes drama of It Ends With Us. Contrary to earlier reports that Swift was an innocent bystander who ended her friendship with Lively over being "used," these leaked exchanges portray her as a strategic ally.

According to the documents, Swift allegedly reviewed scripts and provided tactical advice on how to use her own celebrity influence to gain leverage over Baldoni’s creative vision. The texts detail a coordinated effort to promote Lively’s cut of the film, with Lively even describing Swift’s participation in a confrontation with Baldoni as "epically heroic." These revelations challenge the public narrative of Swift’s detachment from the project, indicating she was deeply involved in the Hollywood power play that eventually saw Lively’s version of the movie reach theaters.
