Breaking News: Blake Lively uses her friendship with Taylor Swift to overcome controversy with Justin Baldoni…See More 👇

Blake Lively has turned to Taylor Swift in a bid to navigate the media storm that has surrounded her while promoting her new movie, ‘It Ends With Us’..

Rumors of a feud with co-star Justin Baldoni have dominated headlines in recent weeks, overshadowing the release of the new film. As a result, Lively has reportedly turned to Swift to get some tips on how to deal with the media attention.

“Blake has been relying on Taylor to get her through this storm in the same way that she relied on her every step of the way during the filming of It Ends with Us,” a source told the Daily Mail.

“Taylor knows how to handle backlash better than anyone.”

Swift is known for dropping clues over feuds and breakups in her songs, though she never speaks on them publicly.

That’s the approach Lively has taken in her feud with Baldoni, as she hasn’t disclosed what actually took place on set that led to their bad blood, opting to subtly throw shade instead.

The source added that Lively is mentioning her friendship with Swift in interviews in an attempt to “help pull her out of this mess”, adding: “Blake is trying to get Taylor to help pull her out of this mess by using their friendship for interviews and other promotional work directly related to the film amid the current backlash that she is getting.”

Lively has also donned several floral looks throughout her promotional tour, a look that resembles Swift’s fashion choices.

Lively and Baldoni on bad terms
Rumors of bad blood between the two co-stars have been rampant in recent weeks, with fans noticing they failed to do any press together in the lead up to the movie’s release.

They also didn’t interact at the movie’s red carpet premiere.

“Blake thinks she’s getting set up by people around Justin so he doesn’t have to come clean about his behavior,” a source told the Daily Mail.

“Junior cast members are keeping quiet because none of them want to get sucked into this. It blew up much bigger than they thought it would.

“Blake is being advised to just keep quiet and take a step back. [But] this entire situation did not turn out the way that she wanted it to.

“Instead of cementing her as a movie star it has served only to show how out of touch she is.”
