Taylor Swift Dumps Blake Lively — Shocking Breakup Sparks Feared No Return!
Taylor Swift and Blake Lively’s friendship may never return to what it once was.
Once very close, Swift and Blake Lively were confidants until Swift was caught up in Justin Baldoni’s $400 million lawsuit against Blake, her co-star in “It Ends With Us,” and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, according to sources close to Swift.
Since then, Swift has distanced herself after Blake’s true feelings surfaced in court documents. Insiders doubt they will reconcile fully.
“Taylor buries hatchets but keeps maps of where she put them, remember?” a source quipped, referencing her 2017 song “End Game.”
Text exchanges revealed Blake, 37, called Swift, 36, and Reynolds, 48, her “dragons,” comparing herself to Khaleesi from “Game of Thrones”—a sentiment included in court documents from the “It Ends With Us” legal drama.
“She will forever be furious at Blake’s using her for clout and leverage — Blake’s thinking was hurtful and manipulative,” a source told Page Six.
Since a judge dismissed Baldoni’s countersuit against Blake, the estranged friends are reportedly not on speaking terms. Swift, meanwhile, is riding high from her record-breaking Eras Tour and her romance with Travis Kelce, but the scandal dragged her into legal battles she sought to avoid.
Baldoni countered with accusations against Blake of defamation and manipulation, claiming she used her connection with Swift to sway the movie’s production. Swift’s reps distanced her from the legal war, clarifying she had no role in the dispute beyond licensing her song “My Tears Ricochet” for the film.
While Swift has been reclaiming her music rights, she finally bought back her first six albums from Shamrock Capital for approximately $360 million, a major victory after years of legal battles over her master recordings. Page Six first reported her deal.
Swift’s victory was finalized when she purchased her six albums from Shamrock in May, ending her long fight to regain control of her master recordings. As she declared, “I’ve been bursting into tears of joy.”
