Lively and Justin Baldoni are locked in a legal battle. Lively alleged that Baldoni sexually harassed her and set forth a smear campaign against her. Baldoni then sued Lively and Baldoni for defamation and civil extortion. Here’s what a source said about Swift’s close friend, <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/selena-gomez/?swcfpc=1″>Selena Gomez</a>, coming to Swift’s aid amid the chaos. </p>

<p id=”par-2_56″>Taylor Swift has numerous close friends in Hollywood, with Selena Gomez and Blake Lively taking the top spots. Unfortunately, rumors suggest <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/blake-lively-spends-time-taylor-swift-fearing-end-career-source-says.html/”>Swift hopes to step back from Lively</a> amid Lively’s case against Justin Baldoni. Texts between Lively and Baldoni showed Lively referencing Swift as one of her “dragons” that she’d use against Baldoni if necessary. </p>
<p id=”par-3_46″>“I happen to have a few dragons. For better or worse, but usually for better,” Lively texted. “Because my dragons also protect those I fight for. So really we all benefit from those gorgeous monsters of mine. [Smiley-face emoji] you will too, I can promise you.”</p>
<p id=”par-4_33″>An insider told <a href=”https://radaronline.com/p/taylor-swift-blake-lively-banished-top-place-girl-squad-over-dragged-into-justin-baldoni-legal-drama/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>RadarOnline</a> that “everyone has heard” about Swift’s potential involvement in the case, “so there is a sense of the squad circling the wagons.” And Gomez is “rushing” to Swift’s aid.”</p>
<p id=”par-5_50″>“Selena rushed to arrange a girls’ night out for the two of them,” the source alleged. “She wanted to show her solidarity, but no doubt she was staking her claim. … All of Taylor’s friends have been reaching out to make plans, it’s just a matter of whether she accepts or not.”</p>
<p id=”par-6_35″>The source added that Swift receives gifts, like “flowers by the dozens,” jewelry, and clothing for her cats that are “aimed at earning her favor and jumping into Blake’s spot … they’re being so obvious.”</p>

<p id=”par-7_61″>While Taylor Swift has a close friendship with Selena Gomez and Blake Lively, an insider told <a href=”https://www.lifeandstylemag.com/posts/taylor-swifts-bffs-blake-lively-selena-gomez-wont-play-nice/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Life & Style</a> in April 2024 that Gomez and Lively dislike each other. According to the insider, Gomez felt “jealous” of Lively’s close friendship with Swift. <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/taylor-swift-stressed-blake-lively-selena-gomezs-feud-source-says.html/”>Lively and Gomez’s competitive nature “stresses” Swift</a>, which allegedly results in Swift never hanging out with them together. </p>
<p id=”par-8_62″>“Taylor’s tried many times to broker peace between these two divas, but they won’t play nice,” the insider alleged. “She thinks it’s silly the way they carry on, especially since the two don’t even know where all this hating began! Taylor feels like she’s doing a juggling act in a circus to keep them both happy, but her patience is wearing thin.”</p>
<p id=”par-9_20″>Given Swift’s circumstances with Lively’s case against Justin Baldoni, she may grow closer to Gomez and distance herself from Lively.</p>

<p id=”par-10_41″>Taylor Swift hasn’t publicly addressed speculation regarding her friendship with Blake Lively in light of the <em>It Ends With Us</em> case. However, an insider told <a href=”https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/taylor-swift-wasnt-happy-about-being-dragged-into-it-ends-with-us-mess/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Us Weekly</a> in March 2025 that <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/taylor-swift-hates-blake-lively-mentioned-lawsuit-justin-baldoni-source-says.html/”>Swift “wasn’t happy</a> with being brought into the legal mess.”</p>
<p id=”par-11_31″>This contradicts what other sources previously said. Other insiders noted that Swift won’t allow this case to “destroy” her friendship with Lively. Swift is also close with Lively’s husband, Ryan Reynolds.</p>
<p id=”par-12_37″>“Taylor is close with Blake, and her family and is even godmother to Blake’s kids,” an insider told <a href=”https://www.intouchweekly.com/posts/blake-lively-taylor-swift-wont-let-baldoni-drama-destroy-friendship/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>In Touch Weekly</a>. “Justin’s lawsuit may be a nightmare, but they would never let something like this destroy them.”</p>
