Taylor Swift and Blake Lively’s friendship gets attention amid Justin Baldoni legal battle
“Are Taylor Swift and Blake Lively still friends?” is something that all the fans want to know, with many questioning the duo’s friendship status amid Justin Baldoni’s ongoing lawsuit. On May 14, PEOPLE reported that the actor allegedly “threatened” the singer. Lively wanted the pop star to show her support publicly, with the claims coming from Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman.
However, less than an hour later, Lively’s attorney denied the claims. Mike Gottlieb told PEOPLE that the accusations are “categorically false.” He pointed out how the claims were from “anonymous sources” and were “completely untethered from reality.” Gottlieb told the outlet that this has been the approach of Baldoni’s legal team throughout. The director’s lawyers reportedly take action first and look for evidence later.
Last month, it was reported that Blake Lively and Taylor Swift managed to mend their friendship amid the Justin Baldoni legal drama. Although the singer was upset by the ongoings, she was supposedly “relieved” not to lose a precious friend over it. Moreover, the source told the outlet that the actor simply “knew” they would be able to save their friendship.
The tension between the friends started when Lively called Swift one of her “dragons.” However, the pair has been close for quite some time. The singer is the godmother of the actor’s four kids. One of them also made a cameo in her 2017 song “Gorgeous.” Moreover, the duo’s friendship has even resulted in some professional collaborations, with Lively directing one of her bestie’s music videos.
