Taylor Swift fans have spotted a clue that they claimed ‘proves’ the pop star was not involved in ex-friend Blake Lively’s drama with her It Ends With Us costar Justin Baldoni.
The singer, 35, became embroiled in the messy legal saga after Justin, 41, claimed Blake, 37, enlisted her pal Taylor to ‘pressure’ him into letting her rewrite parts of the script in his lawsuit.
In the latest twist, a judge ruled this week that Justin’s team will be allowed access to Blake’s private texts with Taylor – putting the Cruel Summer songstress right in the middle of the ongoing feud.
But now, the popstar’s dedicated fans have claimed to have found something that shows she had no knowledge of the bitter battle when it was all going down.
In a recent Reddit thread discussing the singer’s alleged involvement, Swifties pointed out that the hitmaker allowed her song My Tears Ricochet to be included in It Ends With Us.
‘There is no way that Taylor would have let her song be attached to a production where multiple women were being sexually harassed on site,’ one user wrote, in part.
‘She’s very selective about where they are used.’
Someone else responded to the post: ‘You cracked it for me. I know we’re talking about a future song, but I just realized that Taylor would NEVER lend her song if she knew it was being attached to a production where multiple women were being sexually harassed on-site. No way.

‘The fact that My Tears Ricochet is in It Ends With Us shows that Blake never told Taylor and her involvement was misrepresented in Blake’s initial disclosures.’
Another fan said: ‘Oh shoot! That just clicked for me too!’
‘This is a good point,’ wrote a different fan.
Taylor’s song was part of the film’s trailer and soundtrack, but she wasn’t directly involved in the production of the movie or the lawsuit itself.
As of June, Justin’s team are in the discovery phase of the blockbuster legal case.
They have subpoenaed Blake for texts, emails and other messages between her and the singer – who she infamously referred to as ‘my dragon’ during an exchange allegedly intended to intimidate the Jane the Virgin star.
But while Justin’s team were forced to withdraw a subpoena targeting megastar Swift directly, they scored a victory when Judge Lewis Liman said they will be allowed access to Blake’s communications with the singer.
Baldoni’s lawyers will now be allowed to peruse a tranche of messages exchanged by the pair with all communications related to It Ends With Us now set for scrutiny.

The friendship between Blake and Taylor has been said to have gone cold amid the high-stakes lawsuit.
The singer is allegedly ‘done’ with the actress, a source exclusively told the Daily Mail, and their mutual pal Gigi Hadid, 30, is also reportedly cutting ties with Blake.
‘There is no recovering from this. Their friendship is done,’ the insider said.
‘What Blake has done was exploit the Godmother of her children and manipulate the public into thinking that she was watching out for her best interests,’ the source added.
Taylor is the godmother to Blake’s three eldest children with Ryan Reynolds, 48: James, 10, Inez, eight, and Betty, five.
‘Taylor is done and Gigi is done with Blake, and she has no one to blame but herself. Taylor is a girl’s girl and she loves her friends,’ the source added.
‘She will bend over backward for them but when that trust is broken there is no going back.’
The drama began last December when Blake accused Justin, her It Ends With Us co-star and director, of sexual harassment and coordinating a smear campaign against her.

Justin hit back in January, with a $400 million countersuit accusing Lively and her husband Ryan of defamation.
All parties have denied the allegations. Last week, the defamation element of Baldoni’s lawsuit was scrapped by a judge, although he is still suing for civil extortion and invasion of privacy among other claims.
But contained in Justin’s filing were screenshots of alleged text messages, in which Blake regularly mentioned Taylor by name.
In one now infamous and toe-curling exchange, Blake appeared to refer to herself as the character Khaleesi – from Game of Thrones – and to Taylor as one of her ‘dragons.’
Elsewhere in Justin’s filing is the claim that Taylor was present at a meeting convened by Blake at her New York penthouse to discuss It Ends With Us script changes.
Sources close to Taylor have insisted the singer had no knowledge of the meeting and simply turned up to find it underway.
