Private texts from Taylor Swift to Blake Lively about Justin Baldoni come out in court docs

The case between “It Ends With Us” co-stars Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni continues, with new texts being revealed in court documents.

Page Six obtained the documents, which contain messages between Lively and her friend, pop star Taylor Swift. In them, the pair blasted Baldoni with insults, calling him a “clown” and a “b*tch,” with the actress referring to him as the “doofus director of my movie.”

“The actress allegedly asked the pop star to endorse her revision of the ‘It Ends With Us’ script without even reading it back in April 2023, and Swift was supportive, Baldoni’s lawyers claim in the docs,” the outlet reports.

“Swift agreed to do Lively’s bidding, texting Lively, ‘I’ll do anything for you!!” the documents reportedly show.

“You were so epically heroic today. I recapped every moment to Ryan [Reynolds]. I kept remembering stuff. You making s–t up about me and lenses. And referring to yourself as my doll. This clown falling for all of it. But also resisting it. You are the worlds absolute greatest friend ever,” Lively texted Swift, referring to the singer’s meeting with Baldoni at Lively’s apartment to endorse the script changes.

“In April 26, 2024, messages, Lively and Swift discussed a plan to use Swift’s song in the film’s trailer,” read the court docs. “Swift wrote: ‘If Justin was strategic, he would be like no Taylor Swift in the trailer because that gives you more power over the film, that’s your ally, not his.’”

“Lively responded: ‘You are so right…He should’ve run from your music…How stupid. This was his only shot at having the appearance of an upper hand.’”

In December of 2024, Swift messaged Lively with a rather suspicious tone. This came ahead of a New York Times piece that claimed Baldoni “waged a smear campaign against the ‘Gossip Girl’ alum.”

“I think this bitch knows something is coming because he’s gotten out his tiny violin,” Swift reportedly wrote.

Lively’s response denied talking with Swift about the NYT article ahead of its publication, and also claims she never asked the singer to endorse her revisions without reading them.

“And I sent Taylor the script on her way to my apartment because Justin was still there, and I asked her to read them,” she said. “I told her she didn’t have to, I didn’t want her to feel pressured to do that, but I hoped that she would.”

“The message could not have been clearer. Baldoni was not just dealing with Lively. He was also facing Lively’s ‘dragons,’ two of the most influential and wealthy celebrities in the world, who were not afraid to make things very difficult for him,” reads a statement from Baldoni’s lawyer.
