Taylor Swift feels she was exploited by Blake Lively during her conflict with Justin Baldoni and is upset over Blake calling her one of her “dragons” while using her name for leverage. As we reported, a tense meeting took place at Blake and Ryan Reynolds’ NYC penthouse, where Blake had rewritten a scene for It Ends With Us. Justin claimed the meeting got intense and felt ambushed when both Ryan and Taylor showed up.
According to sources, Taylor arrived at Blake’s apartment as requested, unaware that Justin would be there. She was introduced to him for the first time during the meeting but only briefly mentioned her excitement about seeing the movie, as he was her friend’s boss.
A close source tells that Taylor had no idea Blake had planned the timing to ensure she would meet Justin before he left, which left her puzzled when Blake later referred to her as one of her “dragons.” The source remarked that it felt odd for Blake to say such a thing about a friend.
Blake had previously texted Justin after the meeting, comparing herself to Khaleesi from Game of Thrones and calling Taylor and Ryan her “protective dragons.”
Taylor is also learning that Blake has been using her name inappropriately, like telling a young actress that Taylor had “cast her,” which wasn’t true.
In the podcast Two Angry Men, Justin’s lawyer even hinted at the tension, with Bryan Freedman questioning whether Taylor would be subpoenaed for a deposition. This has become a significant fallout, especially since Taylor is the godmother to one of Blake and Ryan’s children.
However, another source close to Blake says the relationship is not strained, and they still talk regularly. Another source claims that although Taylor was upset, especially over the “dragons” comment, Blake has since apologized, and they had an emotional conversation and reconciled.
