Taylor Swift has severed ties with her former pal, Blake Lively, after being dragged into her ongoing court battle with Justin Baldoni.
According to a new report, Swift and Lively may never mend their relationship as the “Blank Space” singer is said to “hate” that Lively wrote “the things she did” in her text to Baldoni.
It comes as Blake Lively scored a legal win in her ongoing battle with Justin Baldoni after a judge threw out the actor’s $400 million countersuit against her.
Taylor Swift ‘Will Forever Be Furious With’ Blake Lively

Swift has seemingly abandoned her once-vibrant friendship with Lively due to the legal drama surrounding the “Gossip Girl” star.
The pair have long been considered to have had one of Hollywood’s most prominent and supportive celebrity friendships, often going out on dates and fun activities together.
However, their relationship suffered a strain when Baldoni alleged in his filing against Lively that she had referred to Swift, and her husband Ryan Reynolds, as her “dragons,” comparing herself to the character Khaleesi from “Game of Thrones.”
“Taylor buries hatchets but keeps maps of where she put them, remember?” a source told Page Six, referencing the lyrics to Swift’s 2017 track “End Game.”
“She will forever be furious at how Blake quite clearly was using her for clout and leverage in her dealings with Justin. She really hates that Blake would even think like that, let alone write the things she did in that text,” the source said.
Why The ‘Damage’ Done To Their Friendship Is ‘Lasting’

Swift and Lively are no longer on speaking terms, and things may stay that way, at least for a while. The source notes that the “damage” done to their friendship is “lasting.”
“The damage Justin did by revealing those texts— the ‘dragons’ text most especially, and by his initial subpoena, even though he dropped it— is lasting and probably permanent,” the source close to Swift said.
They continued, “The truth is, the text wasn’t even accurate. That’s not the kind of friendship they ever had— Taylor would never think of herself as Blake’s ‘dragon,’ or protector, or someone who would interfere on her behalf.”
“For starters, Blake is a grown woman who doesn’t need anyone to do that for her. Secondly, she’s married to one of the most powerful men in Hollywood. It was never a matter of Taylor believing she’d ever have to fight any battles for Blake. For her to see Blake use her name in that context was really hurtful,” the source added.

Meanwhile, the exact nature of the friendship Swift shared with Lively has been revealed.
According to Page Six, the source shared that the pair was grounded in leisurely activities and the bond they shared due to their mega-wealth, rather than their professional engagements.
“They were baking pals, travel pals, home decor pals… and to be totally honest, billionaire pals. They got along because they each lived their lives with the sort of trappings and access and privilege that tons of money brings,” the source said.
They continued, “It was nice to be with someone else who ‘gets it’ and who absolutely didn’t seem to need a thing from Taylor, since she had her own millions.”
“[Swift] was deeply wounded and, even if that heals, the scar will remain,” they added.
The insider then noted how Swift didn’t put out a statement in support of Lively, despite allowing her song “My Tears Ricochet” to be used in “It Ends With Us.”
“Taylor didn’t even promote ‘It Ends With Us’ when the movie first came out before any of this drama was revealed,” the source said.
Blake Lively Scores Major Win Against Justin Baldoni

Lively and Baldoni have been embroiled in a legal standoff after the actress accused him of sexually harassing her on the set of “It Ends With Us.”
The actor filed a $400 million countersuit against her and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, as well as their publicist, Leslie Sloane, accusing the power couple of attempting to wrest control of the film from him.
While her friendship with Swift might be strained, the “A Simple Favor” actress had reason to celebrate as she scored a win in court after a judge dismissed Baldoni’s countersuit.
In his ruling to throw out Baldoni’s countersuit, Judge Lewis Liman explained that all Lively’s allegations were made within privileged court papers.

According to the Daily Mail, a source close to Lively revealed that she “cried with relief” upon learning about the bombshell ruling.
“Complete elation from Blake’s world and a monkey off her back,” the insider said. “Blake is breathing a sigh of relief right now, and all tears are happy tears.”
All is not lost for Baldoni, though, as Judge Liman stated that the “Wayfarer Parties” can file a second amended complaint by June 23, 2025. However, they can only amend the allegations “relevant to the claims of tortious interference with contract and breach of implied covenant.”
