Since then, the two have frequently supported each other at various events and have shared moments of their bond on social media[1][3].The current legal dispute between Lively and Baldoni, however, has inadvertently drawn Swift into the fray.

While Swift values her friendship with Lively and is supportive, she prefers not to be drawn into the legal complexities of the case[4].This stance reflects Swift's general approach to her friendships; she is known for defending and supporting her friends, but she also prioritizes her own life and career. As Swift prepares to attend the 2025 Super Bowl to support her boyfriend Travis Kelce, it is clear that her personal and professional life continues unaffected by the legal turmoil surrounding her friend[5].In summary, Taylor Swift's friendship with Blake Lively is strong and enduring, but Swift is choosing to maintain a distance from the legal dispute involving Lively and Justin Baldoni, emphasizing her commitment to her own life and career.This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
