Pop icon Taylor Swift “needs space” from Blake Lively as her name was dragged into the ongoing lawsuits between the “Gossip Girl” alum and her “It Ends With Us” co-star and director Justin Baldoni via Page Six.
The pop superstar “is taking a break from their friendship right now,” a source told the outlet.
“Taylor is really hurt by this whole situation and feels like a pawn.”
As per the insider, the Grammy winner “is keeping her distance” from Lively, and her husband, Ryan Reynolds.
“Taylor wants nothing to do with this whole ordeal,” a source told Page Six.
“She has always been a loyal friend to Blake and doesn’t appreciate being thrown into this at all.”
The twosome’s friendship goes back to 2015 as Lively shared a photo from a L’Oreal campaign, which referenced Swift’s “Bad Blood” music video. It caught Swift’s attention, and the pair began spending time together.
It was previously reported that the “Bad Blood” songstress “can’t help but feel used” by the actress.
The insider explained, “Taylor doesn’t appreciate being referred to as one of Blake’s dragons” after Lively’s alleged texts were revealed in the countersuit filed by Baldoni, 41, last month.
The alleged texts don’t specify who Lively’s “dragons” are, but it’s believed by many that the actress was referencing Reynolds — and the “Fortnight” singer.
