00:00Well, Blake Lively can forget about packing her bags for New Orleans this weekend.
00:04But she can go.
00:05She can still go to the Super Bowl.
00:07She's just not going to get the best suite, that's for sure.
00:09She will not be in Taylor Swift's suite because their friendship is in a...
00:14I don't even know if it's right to call it a friendship anymore.
00:17You could call it kaput.
00:18Yeah.
00:19At least from one side.
00:21Yeah, what's interesting about this is that Blake is at least making it seem like they're good.
00:27And as we broke the story yesterday...
00:29Cry and make up.
00:30Yes.
00:31That was Blake's response to the story we told you yesterday about the fact that Taylor is really ticked off
00:39that she's been dragged into this battle with Justin Baldoni.
00:42And used by Blake.
00:44Because Blake made it seem like Taylor showed up at this meeting to support her and to pressure Justin Baldoni.
00:54When we're told Taylor says she had no idea Justin was even there.
00:59She was just showing up because Blake invited her.
01:01And she shows up and Blake's there.
01:03And Justin's there.
01:04And all she says to him is, oh, I'm really excited to see your movie.
01:09And he leaves and that was it.
01:11And she makes it look like she's a secret weapon behind all of this.
01:16Right.
01:17And now Taylor is staring down the fact that perhaps if this thing actually does go forward,
01:23if the lawsuit goes forward, she's going to be deposed.
01:25So Taylor definitely, the way it was described to us, this friendship is fractured to say the least.
01:34And a year ago at the Super Bowl, Blake Lively was there right next to her BFF celebrating.
01:41And we're told that is not going to happen this year.
01:43Yeah.
01:44And they were so close for a very, very long time.
01:48And just like a few weeks ago, they were spotted out together and unclear if it was during this time.
01:54But we were told from people around Blake that they hugged it out.
01:57They had a good cry.
01:58Blake apologized.
02:00But apparently that wasn't enough because Taylor is not happy with how things ended up.
02:06And, you know, obviously the text messages between Blake and Justin became part of the $400 million lawsuit that Justin had filed,
02:15which showed the actual text messages where Blake referred to Taylor as her dragon.
02:21She called herself Khaleesi.
02:23And we're told that Taylor saw these text messages and was like,
02:27that's a really weird thing to say about a friend.
02:30And it's not sitting well with her.
02:32Yeah, weird is kind of an understatement.
02:34I mean, Taylor Swift found it unforgivable that somebody took her scarf.
02:43And this is way, way more than that.
02:46It's way more than a scarf.
02:48So put a poll up on the website just to see how people felt about this.
02:52Blake betrayed Taylor.
02:54Yes or no?
02:56Well, our users said by a big, big, big majority, yes, that Blake betrayed Taylor.
03:05That seems to be the way Taylor sees it too.
03:07Yeah.
03:09We're going to see all new crew with her in the suite at the Super Bowl.
03:16Hi, I'm Stephanie Wilson from New York City.
03:18And yes, of course, Blake should be iced out of the Super Bowl.
03:22I mean, the dragon coming alone is nuts.
03:24Taylor Swift is known for empowering artists.
03:26She's not known to abuse her power.
03:28I mean, this is the person who went incognito to the Chiefs game, who spent the whole Grammy celebrating her competitors.
03:34When you say that it's unforgivable to not give back her scarf, in my opinion, I think it's equally unforgivable for a poet and a lyrical genius like Taylor to have a friend who uses such bad metaphors and symbolism.
03:48Oh, that's the crime.
03:51That's the crime.
03:52Get your metaphor game up, Blake, and then we'll talk.
03:56By the way, I think the thing that triggered Taylor here, I think one of the things that triggered all of this, for us to put this story up yesterday, is this podcast we're doing called Two Angry Men.
04:07I do it with Mark Garagos.
04:09Brian Friedman, Justin's lawyer, came on, and I was asking him about whether he was going to depose Taylor.
04:16And if you read between the lines, the answer is yes.
04:20And I think that ding, ding, ding, it went off, oh my God, this is how far she's brought me.
04:26This is how far. Now I have to end up sitting for a deposition.
04:29And maybe taking the stand if it ever ends up in court, which I don't think it's going to be.
04:33Right.
