Taylor Swift Rebuilding Trust with Blake Lively Amid Legal Drama

Top of the Story
Taylor Swift and Blake Lively are working to rebuild their once-close friendship after a fallout reportedly caused by trust issues linked to Lively’s ongoing legal dispute with co-star Justin Baldoni. A source reveals the two celebrities are making cautious progress, but their bond "isn’t the same as before."
Background: What Led to the Rift
According to sources quoted by People magazine, the strain in the high-profile friendship began during Blake Lively’s legal feud with "It Ends With Us" co-star and director Justin Baldoni. The tension escalated after Baldoni claimed Taylor Swift was present during a confidential meeting at Lively’s penthouse in New York City — a claim that reportedly blindsided the singer-songwriter.
Fallout from Legal Drama
The alleged incident reportedly breached Swift’s trust, causing emotional distance between the longtime friends. While neither party has made public statements, insiders say the "Eras Tour" superstar felt caught in the crossfire of a legal mess she had no intention of being part of.
Mending the Friendship
A source close to the situation says, "Taylor is working to trust Blake again, but it’s going to take some time." The two are making an effort to be on good terms, yet it's clear their dynamic has shifted significantly. The friends are reportedly not spending as much time together as they did in past years when they were frequently seen together at award shows and private events.
Upcoming Court Case Timeline
Blake Lively’s trial with Baldoni is set for March 2026, where both parties will formally present their cases. Swift is not expected to testify, but the media spotlight could once again link her to the proceedings, especially given her prior alleged involvement.
