Travis Kelce's beau Taylor Swift forgives Blake Lively amid explosive legal scandal involving Justin Baldoni

Pop icon Taylor Swift and actress Blake Lively appear to have reconciled following a rift sparked by an intense legal dispute involving actor-director Justin Baldoni. According to a recent report from NewsNation, the fallout—caused by Lively’s sexual harassment allegations against Baldoni during the filming of It Ends With Us—had put a strain on Swift and Lively’s longtime friendship. Now, it seems the two have worked through their differences.

In the aftermath of the scandal, reports circulated that Taylor Swift had been “increasingly avoiding many of her friends.” However, sources clarified that the Grammy winner wasn’t isolating herself out of choice, but rather to protect her inner circle from the public and legal blowback. According to Daily Mail, Swift was named in Baldoni’s counter-lawsuit—allegedly as someone Lively had used to pressure the director into creative changes. A source told NewsNation, “Blake apologized and they are talking again.”

Swift, currently enjoying downtime after her exhaustive 149-show Eras Tour, was reportedly “annoyed she was brought into” the controversy. She never intended to be part of the conflict and only ended up at a post-production meeting between Lively and Baldoni by chance, the report claims. “Swift never planned to be in the post-production meeting, but she reportedly arrived at Lively's penthouse to find it ongoing.”
Rumors of a falling out between the two stars intensified when Lively was conspicuously missing from Swift’s VIP suite during Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans. The year prior, Lively had been front and center with Swift and their celebrity friends, cheering on the Chiefs. Fans took notice, especially amid Kelce and Swift’s high-profile relationship being constantly in the spotlight.
Although Swift and Lively may be back on speaking terms, the lawsuit involving Lively and Baldoni is still unfolding. Baldoni has strongly denied the harassment claims and filed a staggering $400 million countersuit. As of now, Swift’s potential involvement in the case remains uncertain.
