Taylor Swift and Blake Lively confront issues in their friendship in surprising text messages

The text conversations between Taylor Swift and Blake Lively have recently been revealed, and they seem to show the pair talking about their fractured friendship.

It has been an eventful year with Blake Lively, as she has been entangled in a legal battle with Justin Baldoni. The actress filed a legal complaint against her It Ends With Us co-star for sexual harassment and for allegedly having a role in a ‘smear campaign’ against her back in December 2024.

The following month, Lively followed this up with another lawsuit for harassment and retaliation, claiming that Baldoni engaged in inappropriate behavior on set. Baldoni filed back with his own countersuit, where he accused Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and the New York Times of defamation. However, this was dismissed in June later that year, and thrown out completely in October.

Hundreds of emails, texts, and depositions have now been unsealed, and one text conversation showed Lively and popstar Taylor Swift seemingly discussing their strained friendship at the time, and what they could do to repair it.

While the last name for Swift's contact is redacted, Lively's legal team has identified her as the singer in a court filing.

The conversation, taking place leading up to Swift’s final Eras Tour show, appeared to start with Lively checking in on Swift.

It read: “Hey, just checking in. I have no reason to ask, but I dunno, I’ve been feeling like i should... is everything okay?

“I felt like a bad friend lately because I was such a sad sack who only talked about my own s*** for months.”

She went on to say: “I always want the opportunity to be a better friend if there’s something I unintentionally did.

“I know how busy and taxed you are, so I don’t expect any more from you ever. Just want to make sure all is good.”

Swift explained that Lively was ‘not wrong’ to feel things were off between them.

Swift answered: “No you're not wrong, but it’s also not a big deal. I think I'm just exhausted in every avenue of my life and in recent months had been feeling a little bit of a shift in the way you talk to me.”

Swift went on to say it felt that recent conversations felt that she was ‘reading a mass corporate email sent to 200 employees.”

The star added: “You don't need to apologize. Just come back please.”
