Taylor Swift has been dragged into an ongoing lawsuit between her “Gossip Girl” alum and her “It Ends With Us” co-star and director Justin Bardoni, before breaking up “We need space” from the live show.
The pop superstar “is taking a break from their friendship right now,” sources tell Page 6 only.
“Taylor is really hurt by the whole situation and feels like a pawn.”
According to the insider, the 35-year-old Grammy Award winner is “keeping her distance,” 37-year-old husband Ryan Reynolds, 48.
“Taylor has nothing to do with this ordeal,” our source told Page 6. “She has always been a loyal friend of Blake and is not grateful that she's been thrown into this at all.”
Twosome's friendship dates back to 2015 after invigorating photos from the L'Oreal campaign, which referenced Swift's “Bad Blood” music video. It attracted Swift's attention and the two began to spend time together.
Representatives for Swift, Lively, and Reynolds did not immediately respond to Page Six's request for comment.
We previously reported that the “bad blood” diva “can't help but feel the actress has been used.”
The insider explained, “Taylor is not grateful to be called one of Blake's dragons.”
The alleged text does not specify who Lively's “dragon” is, but many believe the actress refers to Reynolds and the singer for “2 weeks.”
The countersuit submitted by Bardoni contained texts sent by the director to the lively. This referenced a meeting at the New York Penthouse where Bardoni claims that “two of the world's most influential and wealthy celebrities” “put pressure on him.” Of the important rooftop scene of “It'll end with us.”
After the meeting, Bardoni felt “obligated.” His suspicious text read, “I really love what you did. It really helps a lot. Make it more fun and interesting. (And I feel that way without Ryan and Taylor. I guess that's probably the case).
Meanwhile, Reynolds and Lively appeared on the first red carpet on Sunday since the “Travel Pants Sister” star filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against Bardoni.
Sources on page 6 stated that Hollywood insiders found that the couple attended the Saturday Night Live 50th Anniversary Special “lol” looked “not good” and that the pair “should have stopped this.” He said he was there.
The second insider said “it was lively” and “I was initially hesitant to attend an anniversary show, but in the end I'm glad she went and had a really good time.”
“Blake and Ryan don't regret coming in. They're not hiding, so I'm happy they show up.
