Overview

• Lively has sent numerous texts, voicemails and emails pleading for reconciliation after their decade-long friendship fractured.
• Swift was subpoenaed as a witness in Justin Baldoni’s $400 million countersuit but the subpoena was withdrawn once her team confirmed she had no involvement in the film’s production.
• Baldoni’s suit claimed Lively described Swift as one of her “dragons” and herself as “Khaleesi,” allegations Lively’s lawyers successfully struck from court records.
• Swift’s boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, unfollowed Lively’s husband Ryan Reynolds on Instagram as the celebrity relationships splintered.
• The legal battle between Lively and Baldoni—centered on sexual harassment and defamation claims—is scheduled for trial in New York in March 2026.
