Justin Baldoni Finally Tells All | TMZ | RayderMediaTV

In a past Access Hollywood interview, Baldoni mentioned that he shared Ferrer’s audition tape with both Lively and Swift. According to him, the duo immediately approved it. Baldoni said, “I had actually brought in and showed her casting tape to Blake and Taylor and they were both, like, ‘Yes! Her.’” Ferrer later confirmed in a separate interview that Swift’s input influenced her casting. In an interview with Extra, the actress said, “Yeah, she was a helpful part of the process of the audition, which I found out later after I got it and that rocked my world…I have no words.”

Beyond casting decisions, Lively revealed that Swift was also involved in selecting music for the film. She personally sought permission from Swift to use her song “My Tears Ricochet.” In an interview with CBS Mornings, Lively said, “I think that, for better or worse, she experienced the whole thing with me”

Previously, multiple reports claim that Swift has been trying to distance herself from the ongoing legal battle between Baldoni and Lively. In January, Baldoni referenced Swift in his lawsuit against Lively, fueling speculation about her deeper involvement in the film. As per the recent Page Six report, Swift is feeling “used” by her longtime friend Lively. She is uncomfortable with how her name has been brought into the dispute and has chosen to step back from the situation, according to the report.
