Taylor Swift and Blake Lively are still best friends despite Justin Baldoni lawsuit mention: source

Taylor Swift and Blake Lively remain good friends despite Justin Baldoni dragging the pop superstar into his ongoing legal drama with the actress, Page Six can confirm.

A source tells us that reports that Swift, 35, is trying to distance herself from Lively, 37, given the public relations nightmare are “not true” and that the two women do not have a strained relationship.

Swift has yet to speak out, however, on her close friend’s legal issues with Baldoni, 41. Page Six has reached out to her and Lively’s reps for comment.

The “Fortnight” singer — who is normally very outspoken in promoting her friends’ projects — has taken a back seat in supporting Lively and Baldoni’s popular film, “It Ends With Us,” via a public forum.

When the movie, which centers on domestic violence, premiered in August 2024, she neglected to tell her fans they should go see it in theaters — as she had done for her pal Zoë Kravitz’s “Blink Twice.”

However, Swift showed her support for the flick in another way by lending her music to the soundtrack.

Her 2020 track “My Tears Ricochet” was featured in a scene and the trailer for “It Ends With Us.”

“She was with me throughout this whole process, so I think that, for better or worse, she experienced the whole thing with me,” Lively previously told “CBS Mornings” of her famous friend.

“This was actually — it’s quite a small budget movie. … So we never thought, like, our eyeballs were not that big to think that we could put one of her songs in the movie and it had to be.”

Since the film’s release, it’s been alleged that Swift made even more contributions behind closed doors.

Baldoni claimed in his $400 million defamation and extortion lawsuit against Lively that she used the Grammy winner as well as the “Gossip Girl” alum’s husband, Ryan Reynolds, to pressure him into accepting edits she had made to the script.

The “Jane the Virgin” alum alleged in the suit that he once met with the trio at Lively’s New York City penthouse to discuss a pertinent rooftop scene in the movie.

He then texted his former co-star, “I really love what you did. It really does help a lot. Makes it so much more fun and interesting. (And I would have felt that way without Ryan or Taylor).”

However, Baldoni’s attorneys argued that, in retrospect, their client “felt obliged to text Lively to say that he had liked her pages and hadn’t needed Reynolds and her megacelebrity friend to pressure him.”

“The message could not have been clearer,” they added, referencing an alleged text Lively had sent, in which she gushed over Swift and Reynolds, 48.

The “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” star allegedly said in the messages, which were included in Baldoni’s lawsuit, “If you ever get around to watching ‘Game of Thrones,’ you’ll appreciate that I’m Khaleesi, and like her, I happen to have a few dragons,” referring to Swift and Reynolds.

“For better or worse, but usually better. Because my dragons also protect those I fight for. So really we all benefit from those gorgeous monsters of mine. You will too, I can promise you,” she allegedly added.

Baldoni’s lawyers said this made their client realize that he “was not just dealing with Lively” but also “facing Lively’s ‘dragons,’ two of the most influential and wealthy celebrities in the world, who were not afraid to make things very difficult for him.”

Lively’s legal team then clapped back, stating the lawsuit is “another chapter in the abuser playbook.”

“This is an age-old story: A woman speaks up with concrete evidence of sexual harassment and retaliation and the abuser attempts to turn the tables on the victim,” the actress’ team added.

Baldoni’s suit comes after Lively filed a California Civil Rights Department complaint and subsequent lawsuit against Baldoni in December, accusing the “It Ends With Us” director of sexual harassment, emotional distress, loss of wages and other damning allegations.

She claimed he made her feel uncomfortable on multiple occasions by speaking about inappropriate topics such as his history of porn addiction, past sexual conquests, walking in on her while breastfeeding and asking about her weight to an on-set trainer. She also accused him of launching a smear campaign.

Baldoni said via his lawyer, Bryan Freedman, that the claims were “categorically false” and that Lively’s suit was “another desperate attempt to ‘fix’ her negative reputation.”

Baldoni’s team has also since released raw behind-the-scenes footage and a voice note of the actor apologizing in an effort to further prove his innocence.

Lively is sticking to her guns and claims the video Baldoni released only further “corroborates” her claims.

The “Age of Adeline” star is lying low amid the scandal. She and Reynolds skipped the Golden Globes this year despite his nomination — although he recently resurfaced to support pal Hugh Jackman.

It appears that Lively has not publicly hung out with Swift since she and Reynolds went to the Eras Tour in New Orleans in October 2024, two months before her complaints against Baldoni were made public.
