US Judge Allows Taylor Swift Texts in Blake Lively-Baldoni Lawsuit

The ongoing legal battle between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni over sexual harassment and defamation claims in the film "It Ends With Us" has drawn Taylor Swift into the spotlight due to her private text messages with Lively. A U.S. judge ruled that certain messages between Swift and Lively, specifically those related to the working environment on the film set, are relevant and can be accessed by Baldoni's legal team, despite Lively's efforts to keep them private. This ruling marks a legal setback for Lively, whose team argued the messages were irrelevant and part of a PR strategy. The dispute has strained the long-term friendship between Swift and Lively, with Swift reportedly not in contact and unwilling to discuss the lawsuit. Meanwhile, Lively and Travis Kelce are reported to be serious about their relationship, with Swift supporting Kelce in Florida. The trial is expected to begin in spring 2026, as the legal wrangling over these communications continues.
