The highly anticipated film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel “It Ends With Us” has been making headlines lately, but not just for its star-studded cast. Rumors have been swirling about a potential feud between Blake Lively and Taylor Swift, two of Hollywood’s most beloved stars. So, what’s behind the alleged falling out?

According to sources, the drama began when Justin Baldoni, the film’s director, found himself at the center of a legal battle over the movie’s rights. It’s reported that Baldoni had initially optioned the rights to the novel, but things took a turn when Blake Lively and her production company, B for Effort, came on board to produce the film. Allegedly, Lively’s team began to make changes to the script without Baldoni’s approval, leading to a heated dispute over creative control.

But how does Taylor Swift fit into all of this? Insiders claim that Swift, who is a close friend of Hoover’s, had been quietly supporting the author throughout the adaptation process. When news of the legal battle broke, Swift reportedly found herself caught in the middle, with some fans speculating that she was taking sides with Baldoni against Lively.

While neither Lively nor Swift has publicly addressed the rumors, sources close to the situation suggest that the two actresses have indeed had a falling out over the project. “Blake and Taylor were never close friends, but they had a cordial relationship,” one insider reveals. “However, the tension between them has been palpable since the drama with Justin began.”

Despite the alleged feud, production on “It Ends With Us” is reportedly moving forward, with Lively set to star alongside Justin Baldoni’s “Jane the Virgin” co-star, Brett Dier. Meanwhile, Swift has been focusing on her music, recently releasing a new album to critical acclaim.

As for Colleen Hoover, the author has remained tight-lipped about the drama surrounding her book’s adaptation. However, she did take to social media to express her gratitude to fans for their support, writing, “I’m so grateful for all of you who have been with me on this journey. Your love and enthusiasm mean the world to me.”

While the rumored feud between Blake Lively and Taylor Swift may be making headlines, it’s clear that the real star of the show is Colleen Hoover’s beloved novel. As fans eagerly await the film’s release, one thing is certain: “It Ends With Us” is a story that will continue to captivate audiences, both on and off the screen.
