Taylor Swift has been dragged into the drama between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. Currently, Blake and Justin are trading barbs in the media after Lively filed a lawsuit accusing her It Ends With Us co-star and director of sexual harassment on set. Baldoni later filed his own suit against Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, for $400 million. In his suit, Baldoni reveals how he thinks Lively used her relationship with Swift to bully him.
According to The Daily Mail, Justin Baldoni claims that Blake Lively enlisted Taylor Swift to throw around her influence while attempting to her way when it came to production changes. Justin says that when he met up with Blake, Taylor was with her. He then said that the singer made him feel like he “needed to comply with Blake’s direction for the script” and offered excessive “praise” of the actress’ writing.
However, Swift is said to be a bit confused by Baldoni bringing up her name in the scandal. She allegedly loves the fact that her music was featured in the movie. However, doesn’t believe she had any influence in any behind-the-scenes drama.
“Taylor is proud of the film because her music was featured in it, which gave her a sense of involvement, though she wasn’t fully aware of the extent of the project’s developments,” an insider dished.
“She is confused by the claims in the suit, as her connection to Blake is purely a friendship, with no interest in influencing or controlling Blake’s projects. She finds Justin’s interpretation of the encounter perplexing, and those close to her suspect she’s being drawn into the situation as a means to target Blake,” the source continued.

The source went on to reveal that the meeting was the first time that Taylor Swift ever met Justin Baldoni. She reportedly didn’t know who he was but was polite during the encounter.
The meeting was said to take place at Blake Lively and Ryan Reynold‘s home. Baldoni was invited to discuss Lively’s ideas and rewrite of the film’s rooftop scene. Swift showed up later, and Baldoni claims that the subtext of the situation felt like he was being pushed to comply with Lively’s vision due to her powerful Hollywood connections.
Meanwhile, Justin hasn’t come out with any negative public comments about Taylor. However, many fans believe that Blake knew exactly what she was doing when she had the global superstar show up during her meeting.
“This attempt at attention-seeking hugely backfired,” one person commented on the post.
“Blake seems like the person that can’t fight her own battles and needs to enlist the help of every single person she knows to try to have a mob of intimidation against someone,” another said.
“Justin isn’t blaming Taylor. Sounds like Blake uses Taylor’s influence to get things for her,” a third person wrote.
“Blake set Taylor up,” a fourth comment suggested.
Both Baldoni and Lively claim that they have proof of their claims against the other. The feud has blown up in recent weeks, and there has even been speculation that Blake and Justin may have had a romantic relationship that ended badly and led to the bad blood between them.
It may be a while until fans find out the outcome of Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s lawsuits. However, with Taylor Swift’s name now involved things have gone to a whole new level.
