Taylor Swift's explicit texts revealed in Blake Lively lawsuit against Justin Baldoni

It Ends With Us co-stars Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively are still at legal war and messages between Lively and friend Taylor Swift seemingly referencing the dispute have been unsealed.

First kicking off in December 2024, Lively filed a legal complaint against Baldoni for sexual harassment and allegedly taking part in a 'smear campaign' against her.

In January 2025, the A Simple Favor star filed another lawsuit for harassment and retaliation, alleging Baldoni engaged in inappropriate behavior on-set.

Baldoni then filed a huge $400 million countersuit, accusing Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, alongside the New York Times, of defaming and extorting him over the allegations. The case was swiftly dismissed in June before being thrown out in October.

Now, over a year since the dispute began, who should enter the chat but Taylor Swift.

As part of the ongoing legal battle, yesterday (January 20), messages from Lively's phone were unsealed and filed in US District Court in Manhattan by Lively's lawyers. And in messages, seemingly sent via Swift, the pop star certainly had something to say.

The court filing - obtained by USA TODAY - being unsealed follows Baldoni's legal team's motion for summary judgement in November.

Hundreds of emails, texts and depositions were unsealed and one text exchange - evidence which was previously filed by Baldoni's team - revealed messages in a conversation which allegedly took place between Swift and Lively in December 2024, right when the accusations first kicked off.

Early that month, a text allegedly sent by Swift contains a screenshot of an article by People magazine.

The article is titled: "Justin Baldoni reveals he was sexually traumatized by an ex-girlfriend when he was 'hoping to save myself for marriage'."

A second text, allegedly sent by Swift, follows: "I think this b***h knows something is coming because he’s gotten out his tiny violin."

Swift's name is redacted in the filing, however, Lively's legal team is reported as having identified the singer by name in a court filing addressing the texts.

And that's not the only conversation to seemingly reference Baldoni.

A later exchange sees a message sent linking to a report of Baldoni being dropped by his agency.

A text, allegedly from Swift, continues: "You won. You did it. And you ... helped so many people who won't have to go through this again."

In the motion filed yesterday, Lively's lawyers confirmed the 'quoted language appears in the cited source', however, they denied allegations it was used in the context of discussing the New York Times article Baldoni went on to reference in his countersuit.

Referencing the rest of the unsealed evidence, a member of Lively's legal team, Sigrid McCawley, stated, as quoted by NBC News: "The newly unsealed, damning documents show the consistent reaction numerous women, cast, crew, executives, partners, co-host and even his own PR team had working with Justin Baldoni."

Baldoni's team has previously slammed all of the allegations as 'completely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious'.

Baldoni's lawyer, Bryan Freedman, told TMZ his client 'wants the truth to come out' and is 'waiting for his day in court' to be 'vindicated'.

The case is approaching trial in May, with Lively seeking total damages of around $500 million.
