00:00The repercussions of the legal feud between Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds and Justin

00:04Baldoni have been wide-reaching. In this week's cover story, a source tells us that

00:08Taylor Swift wasn't happy with being brought into the legal mess.

00:12There have been rumors about the status of their friendship, since Swift has yet to

00:16come to Lively's defense publicly. Taylor was pulled into the saga when Justin accused

00:22Blake of using her mega-celebrity pal to pressure him into making certain decisions

00:26on It Ends With Us. Months after the movie came out in August of 2024, Blake sued

00:32Justin for sexual harassment and trying to destroy her reputation. He denied the claims

00:37before filing a defamation lawsuit against the actress, name-dropping Taylor.

00:42In his court petition obtained by Us Weekly, Justin included a text message screenshot

00:47where a Sony executive allegedly revealed that Blake personally called Taylor to approve

00:52the use of her song, My Tears Ricochet, in the trailer.

00:56Back in February, insiders told us that Taylor had no creative involvement in the film's

01:01production. They said that Taylor has always been Blake's friend, but Taylor doesn't

01:06have any involvement in the case. She wasn't part of the movie. Taylor was not a producer
