Taylor Swift ends friendship with Blake Lively after legal drama over It Ends With Us case
According to insiders, Taylor Swift and Blake Lively's friendship began falling apart after Blake Lively's name appeared in legal documents tied to Justin Baldoni's case. The documents reportedly show that Blake Lively referred to Taylor Swift as a 'dragon' in an effort to distance herself from the case. That comment did not sit well with Taylor Swift.
The legal case began months ago but picked up attention in early July 2025. When Taylor Swift was named in related court discussions, her father Scott Swift allegedly tried to keep her out of the mess. Despite his efforts, a judge decided that private messages involving Taylor Swift were relevant in the ongoing legal battle.
Sources told several outlets that Taylor Swift felt betrayed by someone she once called family.

Joy Taylor ready for fearless NFL comeback with Gilbert Arenas after FS1 exit
Joy Taylor ready for fearless NFL comeback with Gilbert Arenas after FS1 exit (Image Via X) Joy Taylor is now a free agent, and all eyes are on her next move. Just days after Fox Sports canceled her show Speak on FS1, sources say former NBA star Gilbert Arenas wants her to host a new NFL-focused project. But Taylor's future remains uncertain as she continues to face the fallout from a lawsuit tied to her former network. How Joy Taylor lost her FS1 show amid Noushin Faraji lawsuit fallout On July 2025, FS1 announced it would not renew Joy Taylor's hosting role on Speak. The decision came soon after former FS1 makeup artist Noushin Faraji filed a lawsuit against Fox Sports. The case accused the network of workplace misconduct and favoritism, drawing strong online criticism. Fox Sports also faced another legal case from former reporter Julie Stewart-Binks, compounding its troubles. Industry insiders say Joy Taylor's association with Charlie Dixon, a senior FS1 executive named in one suit, made her position untenable. Former NFL player Marcellus Wiley reportedly said FS1 let Joy Taylor go to distance itself from further controversy.

Now, Gilbert Arenas, three-time NBA All-Star and podcast host, is reportedly in talks with Joy Taylor. He told No Chill Gil that he's been exploring a football-based show and sees Joy Taylor as an ideal co-host. Gilbert Arenas said 'She's a great host… we've been behind the scenes talking to her for the last year.' With Joy Taylor's broadcast skills and the potential support of former players like Keyshawn Johnson or Shady McCoy, the new project could deliver polished football content and appeal to a wide sports audience. Now out of FS1, Joy Taylor is being courted for new work off traditional network platforms. A move to a football-focused show alongside Gilbert Arenas and possibly NFL stars, would suit her expertise and reputation. Joy Taylor previously teamed with Taylor Rooks for a podcast, showing her comfort behind the mic. Having appeared on network TV and digital platforms, she remains a strong voice in football coverage.
