Global pop superstar Taylor Swift has expressed deep displeasure after her private messages with close friend and actress Blake Lively were recently leaked, raising concerns about personal privacy violations.

According to a report by Page Six on January 26 (local time), Taylor Swift has reacted with anger and discomfort following the exposure of her private text messages with Blake Lively. An insider told Us Weekly, “Honestly, this has been a really tough time for Taylor,” elaborating that, “With the texts being leaked, Taylor felt that her privacy had been violated and it was as if her personal space was no longer her own. She found it very hard to accept.”

The controversy stems from a Page Six report on January 20 (local time), which revealed that Swift and Lively had privately criticized actor-director Justin Baldoni in messages disclosed as part of new court documents. In one of the messages, Lively referred to Baldoni as “the idiot director of my movie.”

Justin Baldoni is the director and co-star alongside Lively in the film “It Ends With Us.” According to the disclosed documents, Baldoni’s legal team alleged that in April 2023, Lively asked for Swift's support for a revised script before Lively had properly reviewed it. The documents further claim that Swift responded positively to the request.

The court records also include an instance where Swift messaged Lively, saying, “I’d do anything for you.” Additionally, it was stated that Swift publicly supported Lively’s revised script during a meeting with Baldoni at Lively’s apartment, and that Lively expressed her gratitude to Swift via text.

In her message, Lively told Swift, “Today, you were truly epic, like a hero,” adding, “I summarized every single moment to Ryan Reynolds.” She continued, “I kept thinking back to when we made up stories about lenses and you called yourself my puppet. This clown (Justin Baldoni) believed all of it. Yet at the same time, he resisted. You really are the best friend in the whole world,” drawing attention from fans and media.

The leaked correspondence further revealed that Swift referred to Baldoni using a profane term (“b****”) while criticizing him. However, a spokesperson for Swift countered these claims, stating, “Taylor Swift has never once set foot on the set of this movie, has had no involvement with casting or creative decisions, has not worked on the music for the film, has not seen or commented on any cut, and only saw the film several weeks after it was released.”

The spokesperson added, “During both 2023 and 2024, she was headlining the biggest tour in history and traveling worldwide.”
