Amid Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s ongoing legal battle, a past interview with their It Ends With Us costar Isabella Ferrer seemingly revealed how Taylor Swift was involved in the casting. 

It looks like Taylor Swift had the electric touch when it came to casting.

Last month, the “Cruel Summer” singer’s name was brought into the fold of Blake Lively and her It Ends With Us costar and director Justin Baldoni‘s ongoing legal battle when Baldoni accused Lively of using her “megacelebrity friend” and her husband Ryan Reynolds‘ star power to pressure him into granting her more creative freedoms in the making of the Colleen Hoover movie adaptation. And now, resurfaced interviews from members of the cast revealed another way Swift allegedly played a part in the It Ends With Us production process.

In one interview, Isabella Ferrer—who played the younger version of Lively’s Lily Bloom character in the 2024 film—said that the Grammy winner had a hand in helping her secure her role.

“Yes, she did,” the 25-year-old told Extra at the Aug. 6 premiere of It Ends With Us. “I don’t even know if I’m supposed to be saying it, but I’m saying it!”

Noting that she “found out later after she got it” that Swift was a “helpful part of the process of the audition,” Ferrer added, “That rocked my world. I have no words.”

And Baldoni echoed Ferrer’s comments about Swift helping to cast her part in a separate interview.

“I had actually brought in and showed her casting tape to Blake and Taylor and they were both, like, ‘Yes! Her,’” he told Access Hollywood in a Aug. 7 interview. “And that’s a true story.”

But Baldoni doesn’t only allege that Swift was involved in casting. In his Jan. 16 lawsuit, obtained by E! News, the Jane the Virgin alum also accused Lively of making a “veiled threat” through a studio executive “implying she might ‘change her mind’ about reaching out to Swift to secure the use of ‘My Tears Ricochet’ for the trailer if her demands are not met.”

E! News has reached out to Swift’s rep for comment on the interviews and the suit’s allegations but hasn’t heard back.

And while Swift has never publicly addressed the accusations, Lively—who filed her own lawsuit against Baldoni in December accusing him of 𝓈ℯ𝓍ual harassment and retaliation—denied Baldoni’s allegations, describing his filing as “another chapter in the abuser playbook.”

“This is an age-old story: A woman speaks up with concrete evidence of 𝓈ℯ𝓍ual harassment and retaliation and the abuser attempts to turn the tables on the victim,” Lively’s lawyers said in a statement to E! News. “This is what experts call DARVO. Deny. Attack. Reverse Victim Offender.”

Her attorneys added that the lawsuit was an attempt to “overwhelm the public’s ability to understand that what they are doing is retaliation against 𝓈ℯ𝓍ual harassment allegations.”

As for Baldoni, he likewise denies Lively’s accusations, calling them “falsified stories.”

“These claims are completely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious,” his lawyer Bryan Freedman said in a statement to E! News, “with an intent to publicly hurt and rehash a narrative in the media.”
