Blake Lively’s legal dispute with Justin Baldoni has Taylor Swift planning to distance herself from the conflict which strains their ten-year friendship. Sources clarify that Swift refrained from any producing duties for It Ends With Us despite claiming no involvement in the film. The singer now rejects any point of production for the movie. New interviews from the movie promotion period seem to refute Swift’s claims about her absence from the project in the eyes of fans.
Receipts Expose Taylor’s Involvement?
Justin Baldoni disclosed in an interview how Taylor participated in finding Isabela Ferrer for the role of young Lily Bloom during the casting process. Baldoni stated to the interviewer how Taylor Swift influenced the film’s production.
“I was casting and I had showed her casting tape to Blake and Taylor and they were both like yes, her. And that’s a true story.”
Further fueling speculation, another interview saw a journalist telling Isabela:
“Taylor may have had some influence in getting you the role.”
Isabela replied:
“Yes, she did. I don’t even know if I’m meant to be saying it, but I’m saying it.”
Adding to the controversy, Lively herself admitted Swift’s involvement during a Q&A session, stating:
“I mean, honestly, she was with me on this experience the whole time, all throughout. So she really lived this with me.”
Fans Accuse Swift of Lying
A fan compiled these interview clips into a montage, writing:
“Taylor Swift caught in a HUGE lie. She said she had no part in the casting of this actress for It Ends With Us. Ma’am, Justin Baldoni has the receipts.”
The apparent contradiction has inspired widespread criticism among people who wonder what circumstance led Swift to attempt a complete breakup from her film association.
