Speaking to PEOPLE, an insider claimed the singer is deeply unsettled by the situation. “Taylor feels like her privacy was impacted,” the source said. “Anyone would be uncomfortable if their private texts were suddenly made public.”
Some of the released messages allegedly show Blake referring to Justin Baldoni as a “clown” and a “doofus,” while Taylor allegedly called him a “bitch.” According to the insider, Taylor was simply offering support to a close friend, with no expectation that the messages would ever surface publicly, as per a report by Reality Tea.
The source emphasized that there was no bigger agenda behind Taylor’s words. “[Taylor] was just being a friend to Blake,” the insider explained, adding, “It’s turned into something bigger than she ever expected. She never thought private messages would become public.”
Now, the singer is reportedly focused on staying clear of the ongoing controversy altogether, as per a report by Reality Tea.
