But things soured in December when Lively sued Baldoni, her co-star and director in the It Ends With Us movie adaptation of the popular Colleen Hoover novel.
The following month, when Baldoni filed a countersuit accusing Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds, 48, of defamation, Swift was dragged into the mix.
Contained in Baldoni’s filing were screenshots of text messages and emails that named Swift.
One particularly uncomfortable exchange allegedly shows Lively referring to herself as Khaleesi — a character in Game of Thrones — and to Swift as one of her “dragons.”
Baldoni also claimed that Swift was present at a pivotal meeting about the movie, held by Lively and Reynolds at their New York penthouse.
For her part, a source close to Swift has said she simply arrived to find the meeting underway and had no involvement.
