‘Violated’ Taylor Swift fuming over release of private texts as she’s dragged into Blake Lively’s legal drama: report
“And there’s nothin’ like a mad woman.”
Taylor Swift is reportedly fuming over the release of her private texts with Blake Lively since being dragged into the actress’s legal battle with Justin Baldoni.
“It’s honestly been really hard for Taylor,” a source told Us Weekly Monday. “Having her texts out there made her feel exposed and kind of violated, like, something private suddenly wasn’t hers anymore.
“That doesn’t sit well with her.”
Taylor Swift reportedly feels “exposed” and “violated” after her private texts with Blake Lively were unsealed for the actress’s legal battle with Justin Baldoni.
“It’s honestly been really hard for Taylor,” a source told Us Weekly Monday. “… Like, something private suddenly wasn’t hers anymore. That doesn’t sit well with her.”FilmMagicPage Six has reached out to Swift’s rep for comment.
Last week, ahead of a summary judgment hearing, a judge unsealed several texts between Swift and Lively, which revealed the pop star’s true feelings about Baldoni as well as a friendship “shift” between her and the “Gossip Girl” alum.
In one of the court docs obtained by Page Six, Swift texted Lively ahead of the bombshell New York Times article that claimed Baldoni — Lively’s director and co-star in “It Ends With Us” — waged a smear campaign against the “Green Lantern” star.

“I think this bitch knows something is coming because he’s gotten out his tiny violin,” Swift, 36, texted Lively, 38, according to the docs.
Another doc revealed a tense exchange between the former besties, where they discussed their changing friendship dynamic.
The personal conversation began by Lively “checking in” to ask Swift if “everything [was] OK” since she had been feeling like a “bad friend” to the singer lately.
Lively went on to tell the Grammy winner that she was a “key person” during her public feud with Baldoni, but that she had a feeling “something may not be right.”

While recognizing how “all consuming” Lively’s legal battle with Baldoni must be, Swift told her that several of her last messages “felt like [she] was reading a mass corporate email sent to 200 employees.”
Swift claimed that Lively wasn’t acting like her usual self and said she missed her “funny, dark, normal-speaking friend who talks to me as herself, not like. A plural unit.”
Although the women seemed to hash things out in the messages, an insider told Page Six in October 2025 that Swift and Lively have had “no contact” since the dispute began last winter.GC Images

The “Opalite” songstress assured her friend that she didn’t need to “apologize” and she just wanted her to “come back please.”
Lively acknowledged that Swift was “right” and with a few more text exchanges they seemingly resolved things.
However, in October 2025, an insider told Page Six that Swift and Lively have had “no contact” since the dispute began last winter.
