Justin Baldoni Reveals Taylor Swift's Hidden Role in 'It Ends With Us' Casting Process
Taylor Swift has become entangled in the ongoing legal battle between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni over the movie "It Ends With Us," following new evidence about her involvement in the casting process.
Baldoni recently revealed in an interview that Swift participated in casting decisions, specifically regarding actress Isabela Ferrer's role as the younger version of Lively's character. "I had actually shown [Isabela's] tape to Blake and Taylor. They were both like, 'Yes, her!' and that's a true story," Baldoni stated.
