Taylor Swift calls Justin Baldoni a ‘bitch’ with a ‘tiny violin’ in bombshell text to Blake Lively

Fresh revelations have emerged from recent court documents, shedding light on text messages between Blake Lively and Taylor Swift. The exchanges reveal their less-than-flattering opinions of Justin Baldoni, describing him as a “clown” and “a bitch.”

In these texts, Lively referred to Baldoni, who serves as both director and co-star in “It Ends With Us,” as the “doofus director of my movie.” These details, sourced from documents obtained by Page Six, highlight a candid moment between the actress and her pop star friend.

Reportedly, Lively sought Swift’s endorsement for her revised script of “It Ends With Us” without Swift having read it. In April 2023, Swift expressed her unwavering support, a point emphasized by Baldoni’s legal team in the court filings.

According to the documents, Swift reassured Lively with a text stating, “I’ll do anything for you!!” This message illustrates the depth of their friendship and Swift’s readiness to back Lively’s creative decisions.

After Swift supported Lively’s revised script during a meeting at Lively’s apartment with Baldoni present, Lively texted Swift again. “You were so epically heroic today,” Lively wrote. She recounted how she shared the day’s events with her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and playfully reflected on their antics, saying, “You making s–t up about me and lenses. And referring to yourself as my doll. This clown falling for all of it. But also resisting it. You are the world’s absolute greatest friend ever.”

More correspondence with Swift include the singer suggesting Baldoni was not “strategic” in using her song “My Tears Ricochet With Us” in “It Ends With Us.”

“In April 26, 2024 messages, Lively and Swift discussed a plan to use Swift’s song in the film’s trailer,” the court docs state. “Swift wrote: ‘If Justin was strategic he would be like no Taylor swift in the trailer because that gives you more power over the film, that’s your ally not his.’”

“Lively responded: “You are so right…He should’ve run from your music…How stupid. This was his only shot at having the appearance of an upper hand,’” the docs continue.

In December 2024, Swift texted Lively ahead of the bombshell New York Times article that claimed Baldoni waged a smear campaign against the “Gossip Girl” alum.

“I think this bitch knows something is coming because he’s gotten out his tiny violin,” Swift texted Lively, according to the docs.

In Lively’s response, which is included in the court docs, she denies she and Swift discussed the New York Times article beforehand, and also denies she asked Swift to endorse her script revisions without reading it.

“And I sent Taylor the script on her way to my apartment because Justin was still there, and I asked her to read them,” Lively states. “I told her she didn’t have to, I didn’t want her to feel pressured to do that, but I hoped that she would.”

Later in the lengthy docs, Baldoni’s lawyers also allege Lively insulted Baldoni to her other famous friends, including Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. Lively allegedly told them she “rewrote the script” and “directed every actor.”

“She also did not hesitate to disparage Baldoni among her Hollywood crowd, describing him to Ben Affleck, for example, as a ‘chaotic clown,’” per the docs.

Reps for Lively, Swift and Baldoni didn’t immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

Swift was first dragged into Lively and Baldoni’s feud in January 2025 when the former “Man Enough” podcast host filed his countersuit against Lively.

Baldoni’s filing included text messages referencing a moment when he allegedly felt “pressured” by Reynolds and Swift, whom the actress called her protective “dragons,” to respond positively to a scene Lively rewrote.

“The message could not have been clearer,” Baldoni’s lawyer wrote. “Baldoni was not just dealing with Lively. He was also facing Lively’s ‘dragons,’ two of the most influential and wealthy celebrities in the world, who were not afraid to make things very difficult for him.”

Back in June 2025, rep for Swift distanced the pop star from “It Ends With Us” and the surrounding legal drama.

“Taylor Swift never set foot on the set of this movie, she was not involved in any casting or creative decisions, she did not score the film, she never saw an edit or made any notes on the film, she did not even see ‘It Ends With Us’ until weeks after its public release, and was traveling around the globe during 2023 and 2024 headlining the biggest tour in history,” her rep told Page Six.
