Overview

  • Swift and Johnson dined with their brothers at Via Carota in New York City on May 29, marking their first public outing together in several years.
  • Their pairing highlights a longstanding friendship that includes a 2016 Facetime birthday tribute and Johnson’s 2024 SNL praise of Swift.
  • Reports suggest Swift stepped back from Lively after Lively allegedly threatened to leak private texts unless Swift publicly supported her in the Baldoni lawsuit.
  • Swift’s representatives have denied any role in Lively’s on-set clash with Baldoni following a subpoena of the singer’s messages in Baldoni’s $400 million defamation counterclaim.
  • The legal battle between Lively and Baldoni, featuring sexual harassment and defamation claims, remains active with trial scheduled for March 2026.
