The Taylor Swift–Blake Lively alliance, once Instagram’s golden standard for #FriendshipGoals, has taken a dramatic turn. What began as a picture-perfect bond is now dominating tabloid headlines after entertainment lawyer Bryan Freedman claimed that Lively threatened to leak Swift’s private texts unless the pop icon publicly supported her.
