As the months pass and the Blake Lively-Justin Baldoni court case nears, those rooting for her and Taylor Swift‘s friendship find solace in new claims. A source apprised that Lively’s bond with her longtime girlfriend might “survive” the storm after all. Baldoni’s latest attempts to embroil Swift in his feud against his “It Ends With Us” co-star proved unfruitful, including his subpoena to the pop sensation and her lawyers.
Swift, the godmother of Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds’ four kids, reportedly never imagined finding herself at the center of the case. However, she will remain loyal to her friend, whom she still considers “close” despite the chaotic circumstances and Baldoni’s claims amid the intensifying lawsuit drama.
Taylor Swift and Blake Lively are close friends stills, claims ‘source’
A source informed Life & Style that there is still hope for Taylor Swift and Blake Lively’s friendship as the Justin Baldoni lawsuit case advances. The insider laid out that the singer still considered Lively her “close friend.” However, she had “never expected to be so involved in this drama.” These claims surfaced days after Baldoni reportedly dropped his subpoenas to the musician and her lawyers.
Swift’s representative and Venable, the law firm that has represented her for over a decade, criticized his two similar but separate subpoenas to them. Additionally, they managed to successfully quash the director’s moves and put an end to what they alleged were his attempts to exploit Swift’s celebrity status.
The source added that recent events and updates did cause some damage to their bond. The Grammy winner and her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, have been “trying to lay low after her tour and football season ended.” Hence, her facing legal woes in the middle of her hiatus proved to be “a huge blow.”
Moreover, Baldoni name dropping Swift in his $400 million countersuit against Lively and Ryan Reynolds threw her “for a loop.” His filings included a text from the “Gossip Girl” alum, allegedly referring to the singer and Reynolds as her “dragons.” “With Blake, it’s different,” the source claimed, adding that she is “definitely” against “private details from their friendship” becoming public.
Needless to say, Taylor Swift and Blake Lively have been through both good and bad times in their decade-long bond. Even with the ongoing drama, “[Swift] will always be loyal” to her not only as a friend but also as the godmother of her children. The source believes their “friendship will survive” regardless of the “hurt feelings and miscommunication.”
