The internet wants to see two best friends fight. Especially if they're women.
Rumors are swirling this week about famous besties Blake Lively and Taylor Swift, who have been dragged into conversations involving Lively's legal battle with "It Ends With Us" co-star Justin Baldoni. While the ins and outs of the legal case appear to get messier by the day, the latest twist has entangled America's favorite pop star and longtime companion of Lively.
The short of it: New claims indicate Lively pressured the pop star to get involved in the legal matter. Per Baldoni's lawyers', Lively's attorney Michael Gottlieb demanded a statement in support of Lively from Swift. This demand included the threat that private text messages between the women would be released if Swift did not comply. A spokesperson for Swift has emphasized the singer's minimal involvement with the film.
The rumor mill is convinced the suit has caused the pair's yearslong friendship to sour.
"This is crazy, Taylor and Blake have been friends for so many years," reacted one TikToker as they scoured legal documents for insight into an apparent feud. Another alleged the fight was a conspiracy between Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, to gain footing by leveraging the pop star's high-profile. Some even dissected Swift's outfits as evidence of a fall-out.
