Taylor Swift fans spot detail that 'proves' singer was not involved in Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni drama
Taylor Swift fans have spotted a clue that they claimed 'proves' the pop star was not involved in ex-friend Blake Lively 's drama with her It Ends With Us costar Justin Baldoni.
The singer, 35, became embroiled in the messy legal saga after Justin, 41, claimed Blake, 37, enlisted her pal Taylor to 'pressure' him into letting her rewrite parts of the script in his lawsuit.
In the latest twist, a judge ruled this week that Justin's team will be allowed access to Blake's private texts with Taylor - putting the Cruel Summer songstress right in the middle of the ongoing feud.
But now, the popstar's dedicated fans have claimed to have found something that shows she had no knowledge of the bitter battle when it was all going down.
In a recent Reddit thread discussing the singer's alleged involvement, Swifties pointed out that the hitmaker allowed her song My Tears Ricochet to be included in It Ends With Us.
'There is no way that Taylor would have let her song be attached to a production where multiple women were being sexually harassed on site,' one user wrote, in part.
'She's very selective about where they are used.'
Someone else responded to the post: 'You cracked it for me. I know we're talking about a future song, but I just realized that Taylor would NEVER lend her song if she knew it was being attached to a production where multiple women were being sexually harassed on-site. No way.
'The fact that My Tears Ricochet is in It Ends With Us shows that Blake never told Taylor and her involvement was misrepresented in Blake's initial disclosures.'
Another fan said: 'Oh shoot! That just clicked for me too!'
'This is a good point,' wrote a different fan.
Taylor's song was part of the film's trailer and soundtrack, but she wasn't directly involved in the production of the movie or the lawsuit itself.
As of June, Justin's team are in the discovery phase of the blockbuster legal case.
They have subpoenaed Blake for texts, emails and other messages between her and the singer – who she infamously referred to as 'my dragon' during an exchange allegedly intended to intimidate the Jane the Virgin star.
But while Justin's team were forced to withdraw a subpoena targeting megastar Swift directly, they scored a victory when Judge Lewis Liman said they will be allowed access to Blake's communications with the singer.
Baldoni's lawyers will now be allowed to peruse a tranche of messages exchanged by the pair with all communications related to It Ends With Us now set for scrutiny.
The friendship between Blake and Taylor has been said to have gone cold amid the high-stakes lawsuit.
The singer is allegedly 'done' with the actress, a source exclusively told the Daily Mail, and their mutual pal Gigi Hadid, 30, is also reportedly cutting ties with Blake.
'There is no recovering from this. Their friendship is done,' the insider said.
'What Blake has done was exploit the Godmother of her children and manipulate the public into thinking that she was watching out for her best interests,' the source added.
Taylor is the godmother to Blake's three eldest children with Ryan Reynolds, 48: James, 10, Inez, eight, and Betty, five.
'Taylor is done and Gigi is done with Blake, and she has no one to blame but herself. Taylor is a girl's girl and she loves her friends,' the source added.
'She will bend over backward for them but when that trust is broken there is no going back.'
The drama began last December when Blake accused Justin, her It Ends With Us co-star and director, of sexual harassment and coordinating a smear campaign against her.
Justin hit back in January, with a $400 million countersuit accusing Lively and her husband Ryan of defamation.
All parties have denied the allegations. Last week, the defamation element of Baldoni's lawsuit was scrapped by a judge, although he is still suing for civil extortion and invasion of privacy among other claims.
But contained in Justin's filing were screenshots of alleged text messages, in which Blake regularly mentioned Taylor by name.
In one now infamous and toe-curling exchange, Blake appeared to refer to herself as the character Khaleesi – from Game of Thrones – and to Taylor as one of her 'dragons.'
Elsewhere in Justin's filing is the claim that Taylor was present at a meeting convened by Blake at her New York penthouse to discuss It Ends With Us script changes.
Sources close to Taylor have insisted the singer had no knowledge of the meeting and simply turned up to find it underway.

Rob Gronkowski's Sports Illustrated model girlfriend Camille Kostek reveals nasty side of being a NFL WAG
Rob Gronkowski 's model partner Camille Kostek has revealed the negative side of being an NFL girlfriend. The Sports Illustrated swimsuit model, 33, has known the former Patriots star since 2013, with the tight end retiring (for a second time) three years ago. But Kostek recently revealed that she was judged by the wives of other NFL players for not being married to Gronkowski. 'I felt like I was seen as a lesser-than girlfriend because I didn't have a ring on my finger,' she said on Kristin Cavallari's 'Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour,' per US Weekly. 'But you want to know what's so interesting about that? The woman that's coming to mind [who] judged me the most, she's divorced.' Kostek and Gronkowski, who met each other when she was a cheerleader for the Patriots, did break up in 2017 before eventually getting back together. However, Kostek explained that she used her time apart from the future Hall of Famer to pursue her passions - namely becoming a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model. 'In that year, I decided to audition for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, which was on my bucket list. I cared about pursuing the things that brought me joy,' she said. 'There were so many things I was destined to want to do, and then I happened to date an athlete, and it was like, 'You are a WAG.' Kostek first modeled for SI Swimsuit in 2018, covered the magazine the following year and has been photographed for the brand every year since her debut. She was even named a 'Legend' of the brand last year. Last month, she walked the runway for SI Swimsuit in a show that included Livvy Dunne, soccer player Midge Purce and more. While Gronkowski and Kostek do not have a child together, they do share a dog named Ralphie, who the four-time Super Bowl champion mentioned when he wished his girlfriend a happy birthday back in February. 'Happy Birthday to my Dancing Queen @camillekostek !! From your incredible kindness to your infectious energy, you light up every room you walk into babe!!,' he wrote on Instagram. 'You deserve the best, not just today but always. Love you to the moon and back! And the best Momma anyone could ask for to our loving boy @ralphiegronkowski !!' Gronkowski, 36, established himself as one of the best tight ends in NFL history over an 11-year career. The University of Arizona became a favorite target of Tom Brady during their time together in New England, catching 17 touchdown passes in 2011 and winning three Super Bowls under then-Patriots coach Bill Belichick.

The View co-host Sunny Hostin shares chilling story about how she 'almost DIED' on set
Sunny Hostin revealed she 'almost died' after suffering a medical emergency during an episode of The View this week. The TV personality, 56 — who recently left her fellow co-hosts speechless over comments on the Iran–Israel conflict — opened up about the harrowing incident on the ABC talk show on Friday. Hostin found herself in danger on Wednesday, when guest Debbie Matenopoulos made an appearance to promote her new cookbook titled and also brought along a few meals for the hosts to taste. At one point, Matenopoulos — who previously was a host on The View in the late '90s — described the items she brought, such as an orzo dish. However, Hostin soon found out that she was deathly allergic to one of the ingredients. 'She has this wonderful food, Greek food. And I have a terrible allergy to walnuts. And as I'm eating the food, Alyssa [Griffin] asks, "Are those walnuts in here?" And she says, "Yes."' Sunny shared that she began 'to panic immediately' and penned a 'death note' to Griffin who was sitting directly next to her at the time. While telling the story on Friday, Hostin then held up a blue card which had the words, 'I am allergic to walnuts,' scribbled on the back. Sunny continued, 'And she responds with, "Oh no!" And I'm looking at [executive producer] Brian [Teta] and he's like, "Is everything okay?"' The star had simply responded, 'No, it's not,' by silently shaking her head in his direction. Hostin was able to make it to the end of the segment before receiving medical aid from doctors on the set. 'But what was great was our Disney nurses, man, they are like superheroes. They came in — nurse Jen came in — with an EpiPen. She was testing me. I had Benadryl. I was scared.' Griffin chimed in to explain that she couldn't read the note that Sunny had quickly written down, but added, 'We're glad you made it through.' The TV personality went on to explain that she hadn't had an allergic reaction to that extent in a decade. Hostin has been a co-host on The View since 2016, and currently works alongside Alyssa Farah Griffin, Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sara Haines and Ana Navarro. Hostin said, 'She has this wonderful food, Greek food. And I have a terrible allergy to walnuts. And as I'm eating the food, Alyssa [Griffin] asks, "Are those walnuts in here?" And she says, "Yes"' Despite her allergy to walnuts, Sunny has talked about some of her favorite snacks during an interview with Us Weekly last year. 'My co-hosts on The View make fun of me, but I eat Funyuns,' the star said, referencing to the onion-flavored chips. 'I think it's kind of a strange thing, but I eat Funyuns. It's not great for the breath, so I have mints.' However, Hostin has a special twist when it comes to munching on the snack and will dip the chips in hot sauce. 'Ana Navarro's right next door and she just looks in at me and she's just like, "Are you eating that again?" I am,' Sunny humorously added. And a few months earlier in March, Hostin got candid about her weight loss journey and discussed using Mounjaro - an injectable medication for adults with type 2 diabetes. She had turned to the drug due to feeling 'shame' for gaining 40 pounds during the COVID-19 pandemic. Sunny told 'All I did was eat... I love to cook, and I found out, I love to eat. And I was horrified about the fact that I would have to come out on air. So I also took Mounjaro.' And a few months earlier in March, Hostin got candid about her weight loss journey and discussed using Mounjaro - an injectable medication for adults with type 2 diabetes; seen earlier this month in NYC When she stopped taking Mounjaro, Hostin talked about the 'different experience' that she had. 'I feel really great. I don't know what everyone else's experience with it is, but I never gained any weight back.' The media personality further added, 'So, that was kind of weird. Hopefully, nothing bad will happen to me.' The mom-of-two added that her body feels the same following her time taking the medication. 'I was never a big eater, so I just sort of eat to live. I don't live to eat,' Sunny explained, and emphasize she also 'never stopped working out.' The author - who took Mounjaro over the span of four months - added, 'Yeah, I'm just living life and feeling pretty good.' When the talk show host was asked if she would go back on the medication, she replied with, 'If I needed to, sure. Why not?' Back in 2024 during an episode of The View, Hostin first revealed that she had taken Mounjaro. 'During Covid I gained 40 pounds. All I did was eat. I love to cook and I found out I love to eat. And I was horrified by the fact that I would have to come out on air. So I took Mounjaro.' She had also shared some of the negative reaction she received in regards to her weight loss.
