Taylor Swift Called Justin Baldoni a ‘B***h’ in Text to Blake Lively — Report

New details have emerged regarding the friction between the stars of It Ends With Us. According to bombshell reports, newly unsealed court documents reveal private text messages sent by Taylor Swift to her close friend, Blake Lively. These messages, filed as part of an ongoing legal battle, show Swift using harsh language to describe director Justin Baldoni. The reports suggest that Swift was deeply involved in supporting Lively during the film’s tense production.

Taylor Swift reportedly called Justin Baldoni a ‘b***h’ in her texts to Blake Lively, per court docs

According to Page Six, Taylor Swift allegedly sent a text to Blake Lively in December 2024 that read, “I think this b***h knows something is coming because he’s gotten out his tiny violin.” This message was reportedly sent after Swift shared an article about Baldoni’s past. 

People also report that the “tiny violin” comment was a reaction to Baldoni sharing his personal history to gain sympathy before a negative news story broke. The controversy between Lively and Baldoni began during the filming of It Ends With Us. 

Reports from Page Six state that Lively referred to Baldoni as a “doofus” and a “clown” as early as April 2023. The alleged tension began when Lively felt Baldoni was trying to control the movie’s creative direction. Baldoni’s legal team claims these texts prove that Swift and Lively were “conspiring” to launch a smear campaign against him.

People notes that Swift’s team has denied any professional involvement in the film. They claim her only role was providing a song for the soundtrack. However, the court documents show Swift telling Lively, “I’ll do anything for you !!” Lively later called Swift an “epically heroic” friend for her support. These unsealed messages are now a key part of the legal fight scheduled for trial in May 2026.
