Taylor Swift has become entangled in the ongoing legal battle between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni over the movie "It Ends With Us." The controversy centers around Swift's alleged involvement in the casting process, which she previously denied.

The situation emerged after Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni, citing toxic workplace conditions and sexual harassment during production. Baldoni responded with a $400 million defamation countersuit.

A resurfaced interview with Baldoni revealed that Swift participated in casting decisions, specifically regarding Isabela Ferrer's role as the younger version of Lively's character. Baldoni stated: "I had actually shown [Isabela's] tape to Blake and Taylor. They were both like, 'Yes, her!' and that's a true story."

The revelation has reportedly strained Swift and Lively's long-standing friendship. Sources claim Swift feels "used" and "betrayed" by being drawn into the legal dispute. Her notable absence from the SNL 50th anniversary event, which Lively attended, has fueled speculation about their relationship.
