"Swift also allegedly offered her status as one of the world's famous entertainers in the world to urge Baldoni, Lively's so-called doofus director, to use a revised version of an early scene in the script that Lively said she helped write, according to Lively's deposition in the case. I'll do anything for you, Swift reportedly said, according to the deposition."
"In addition, Swift agreed that giving Lively the rights to use her music would give her friend leverage in the final version of the film's trailer, according to the documents. Swift told Lively in a text message that using her music gives you more power over the film. The text messages were released ahead of a court hearing Thursday on whether a judge should grant Baldoni's motion to dismiss the case before trial."
Newly released court documents show text messages revealing Taylor Swift's involvement supporting Blake Lively's efforts to influence It Ends With Us production and its final cut. The messages show Swift joining Lively in denigrating director Justin Baldoni, urging use of a revised early scene Lively says she helped write, and telling Lively "I'll do anything for you." Swift agreed that granting Lively rights to her music would give Lively leverage over the film's trailer, writing that using her music "gives you more power over the film." The texts were released before a hearing on Baldoni's motion to dismiss, and the friendship reportedly cooled amid subpoena concerns. A Swift representative denied her involvement or presence on set.
