The only documents I’d seen when I wrote this were the ones included in the article. I didn’t have the actual texts, which I see are now available (I will be reviewing them and adding to this article)
But I was referring to the ones that are available in the article. Where she claims to be ambushed, and then clearly is being informed by Lively what she’s walking into… and then says she’ll do anything for Blake. It doesn’t make sense that Blake would be so specific about HOW Swift behaved in the meeting if Swift felt so ‘ambushed.’ She was enthusiastic.
But I am interested in seeing your updated take.
Seeing Blake and Tay Tay’s attitude in the texts is the start of the fall of Tay Tay, I think.
Not going to have time to look at this again today, but I’m totally open to changing my mind on all of it as more information comes out. My interest is how all the players are framing their narratives and how they fit together. Probably shouldn’t say this, but I don’t particularly care about who is involved and who is right or wrong (I’m not a ‘swiftie’), so (hopefully) approaching with minimal bias.
I have not been a fan of hers since she slapped a fake accent on to sell her not-country country music, but that’s just because I don’t like things that are inauthentic… or PR empires that sue everyday people out of their livelihoods in order to keep that lie going. So, I am not unbiased… but I try to engage only when there is good data/proof! lol.
Swift literally says things like ‘if Baldoni was smart he wouldn’t use my music in the trailer, that gives you (Blake) more control over the movie. That’s your ally, not his.’ And when Justin talked about his own sexual harassment Taylor says ‘I think this bitch knows something it coming because he got out his tiny violin.’
She says a lot of things about him being a misogynist (with no proof) and then pretended that she had no influence over the movie and just ‘dropped by ‘ his apartment.
Blake told her he was there and hoped he wouldn’t leave, so that Taylor could ‘help her’ and then Blake later says Taylor did, and that Taylor ‘made shit up’ to help her ina best to Ryan.
I don’t agree that their friendship matters at all when the team claims she had no knowledge. She knew everything. She’d have been MUCH better to say she bought Blake’s story about harassment and had an axe to grind in defense of her friend- but that’s not what she said. She and her team claimed non involvement when that’s clearly not true and it dismantles her character 100%. She looks fake. And it’s her fault.
You... clearly didn't read the texts then lol. This article is working SO overtime to divorce words from their meanings to come to this conclusion....

That’s fair.
