Taylor Swift 'feels used' by BFF Blake Lively after being dragged into Justin Baldoni It Ends With Us lawsuits

Taylor Swift 'feels used' by pal Blake Lively after the singer was dragged into the It Ends With Us lawsuits with Justin Baldoni, per a new report. Swift, 35, became embroiled in the explosive legal feud between Lively, 37, and Baldoni, 41, when he claimed in his lawsuit his costar used Swift to intimidate him at a meeting with her husband Ryan Reynolds about edits she had made to a rooftop scene in their film, It Ends with Us.

In his $400 million lawsuit, filed last month, Baldoni said Swift showed up and made him feel like he 'needed to comply with Blake's direction for the script'. Lively compared herself to Game of Thrones character Khaleesi in a series of text messages to Baldoni in which she referred to Reynolds, 48, and her best friend as her 'dragons'. Now it has been claimed Swift 'resents' Lively for 'calling her one of her dragons and leveraging her name', with a source claiming to TMZ that she was blindsided over the meeting with Baldoni.

The source claimed Swift came to Lively's apartment when she was told by the actress and had 'no idea' that Baldoni would be there.

The source said Baldoni was about to leave after the two hour meeting when Swift walked in and was introduced to him for the 'first and only time.'. Swift told Baldoni how excited she was to see the movie 'because he was her friend's boss' according to the source. They also claim Swift believes Lively 'timed' her meeting with Baldoni so she would arrive before he left. Swift was also said to be 'baffled' by Lively calling her a 'dragon' adding: 'It's weird to say that about a friend.'.

It was further claimed by the source that Swift has learned Lively has been 'inappropriately leveraging her name for a long time, like telling a young actress that Taylor "cast her," which simply did not happen.'. DailyMail.com has contacted representatives for Taylor Swift, Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni for comment. This comes after insiders claimed Swift tried to help her close friend Lively 'tone down' her 'ballsy' nature years before the actress' legal roller coaster with Baldoni.

The Gossip Girl alum is currently locked in a bitter battle with her It Ends With Us co-star whom she accused of sexual harassment and launching a smear campaign against her in a bombshell lawsuit last year.

Swift was also said to be 'baffled' by Lively calling her a 'dragon' adding: 'It's weird to say that about a friend'. Baldoni now countersuing both Lively and her husband Reynolds for $400 million, and shocked the world when he dragged Swift into the explosive legal feud. The messy spat between Lively and Baldoni has seen her past behavior come under scrutiny as the public casts judgement with each new update.

Insiders claim Swift had tried to advise her pal about going 'full throttle' in the years before the saga. 'Taylor Swift admires that Blake Lively is a ballsy chick who speaks her mind, swears like a trooper and refuses to be controlled by anyone,' a source told DailyMail.com. 'That’s the real reason they bonded and became firm friends when they first met 10 years ago.'. They continued: 'Taylor saw her doppelgänger in Blake. The main difference between them is that Taylor is more subtle. Blake has always gone full throttle about everything. She never holds back and that’s what has caused the tide to turn on her.

'Taylor has tried to help tone Blake down in the past, but she now knows it’s never going to happen.'. They finished: 'Right now, while they’re still close, there’s a slight shift because of the It Ends With Us drama. Taylor doesn't like the fact that she’s been dragged into it.'. The idea of Swift pulling back came as a shock to fans of the pair who have been friends for a decade, celebrating milestones together, with Swift even name dropping Lively’s children in her music.

In fact, the singer's music became a part of the legal back and forth after Baldoni claimed in the lawsuit Lively leveraged her friendship with the Grammy-winner to get her way behind the scenes. According to Baldoni's lawsuit, Lively threatened to withhold approval of the film trailer if she did not get extra time working on a cut of the movie with her own personal editor. He claimed in the suit that the actress threatened to 'change her mind' about reaching out to Swift to secure the use of her hit 2020 track My Tears Ricochet.
