Taylor Swift Goes Full Dragon Amid Blake Lively Legal Scandal – As Discussed in Candace Owens’ Explosive Ep. 144

Published: May 10, 2025

🐉 A Fiery Turn in Hollywood’s Quietest Friendship?

In what may become one of the most scrutinized celebrity disputes in recent years, Candace Owens’ viral Episode 144 of her podcast dropped a major bombshell: Taylor Swift, often known for her graceful diplomacy, has reportedly turned “full dragon” in response to being unexpectedly entangled in a legal drama involving long-time friend Blake Lively and director Justin Baldoni.

Owens, never one to shy away from controversy, claimed Swift’s behind-the-scenes influence has played a pivotal role in escalating tensions between Lively and Baldoni. And while Swift herself has remained mostly silent, her team’s statements and off-the-record leaks are telling a very different story—one filled with betrayal, discomfort, and a now-public unraveling of a once-adored celebrity friendship.

🎬 The Backdrop: Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni

The drama centers around It Ends With Us, the long-awaited film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s best-selling novel, starring and executive produced by Blake Lively and directed by Justin Baldoni.

Earlier this year, Baldoni filed a legal complaint against Lively for alleged contract violations, claiming she made unilateral creative decisions and disrupted the production process. In turn, Lively filed a countersuit alleging workplace harassment and coercion.

Where does Taylor Swift come in? That’s the twist.

📱 The Dragon Text: A Cryptic Message Goes Public

A leaked message from Lively to her inner circle, now a key exhibit in the case, reads:

“If you ever get around to watching Game of Thrones, you’ll appreciate that I’m Khaleesi. And like her, I happen to have a few dragons.”

According to multiple sources, this wasn’t a metaphorical flourish. Lively was allegedly referring to her closest friends—specifically, Taylor Swift and her husband, Ryan Reynolds—suggesting she would call on them for reputational firepower. And that’s precisely what seems to have happened.

🎙️ Candace Owens Weighs In – “A PR Assassination Attempt”

In Candace Owens’ podcast episode titled “Taylor Swift Goes Full Dragon Against Blake Lively”, she accuses Swift of deploying media connections to aid Lively’s narrative.

“This wasn’t a friendship move—it was a PR assassination,” Owens said during her show. “Swift has the power to move cultural mountains with a whisper, and she used that power to help Blake—knowingly or not—burn someone else’s reputation.”

Candace further alleges that Swift’s song “My Tears Ricochet” was approved for a key trailer moment during the peak of the Baldoni-Lively dispute—a move critics called a “signal of allegiance.”

💔 A Strained Friendship: Swift Reportedly “Furious” Behind the Scenes

Despite the perceived loyalty, sources close to Swift claim she feels “used and blindsided.”

“She didn’t want to be dragged into this,” a Swift insider told People. “Taylor was happy to support Blake’s movie with a song license, but she never agreed to be a ‘dragon’ in any legal war.”

Swift’s inner circle reportedly confronted Lively after learning their names had been floated as allies in legal filings. What was once a famously close-knit friendship—documented in decades of Instagram tributes and dinner outings—now appears to be on icy ground.

🧾 Legal Developments: Subpoenas, Speculations, and Silence

As of early May 2025, Taylor Swift has not been subpoenaed, but her name appears in Lively’s internal documents—making her a potential witness if the case moves to federal trial in March 2026.

Swift’s legal team has made it clear: “She has no creative stake in It Ends With Us beyond a musical licensing deal.” Meanwhile, Reynolds’ publicist issued a flat denial: “Ryan was not consulted on any creative decisions regarding the film. He has no comment on pending litigation.”

🔥 Public Fallout – Media vs. Private Pain

With over 200 million Instagram followers between them, Swift and Lively’s public image is under a microscope. Fans have noticed subtle online shifts—no birthday posts this year, no red carpet appearances together, and no mention of Lively during Taylor’s The Tortured Poets Department album promotions.

Even more telling? Swift’s Eras Tour performance in Edinburgh, where fans claim she emphasized the lyric “I can go anywhere I want, just not home,” as a reference to the betrayal.

📝 Final Words from the Stars?

So far, Blake Lively has avoided commenting directly. Through her representative, she stated:

“I respect the judicial process and have no intention of trying this case in the media. I love my friends deeply and trust the truth will come out.”

Swift, known for her careful media strategy, may never address this feud publicly. But as Candace Owens claims: “Sometimes, silence is the dragon’s breath.”
