Taylor Swift is spinning the Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni beef to look like she got betrayed by her former BFF Blake … but it looks like Taylor was all-in on crapping on Baldoni.

In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Taylor texted Blake in early December 2024, referencing Baldoni and the upcoming New York Times hit piece … with Taylor texting, “I think this bitch knows something is coming because he’s gotten out his tiny violin.”

The text message was revealed Tuesday as part of Blake’s unsealed deposition.

According to the docs, Taylor was anything but an innocent bystander who was set up by Blake during her NYC penthouse showdown with Justin Baldoni. In fact, Taylor seemed to be involved in Blake’s strategy, texting Blake, “If Justin was strategic, he would be like no Taylor Swift in the trailer because that gives you more power over the film, that’s your ally not his.”

In Lively’s deposition, she said, “I sent Taylor the script on her way to my apartment because Justin was still there, and I asked her to read them. I told her she didn’t have to, I didn’t want her to feel pressure to do that, but I hope that she would.” Taylor responded in text, “I’ll do anything for you!!” Lively said at the apartment, Taylor endorsed the revised draft.

After the penthouse meeting, Blake wrote to Taylor, “You were so epically heroic today. I recapped every moment to Ryan. I kept remembering stuff — You making shit up about me and lenses. And referring to yourself as my doll.” And then, referring to Justin, Lively wrote, “This clown falling for all of it. But also resisting it. You are the worlds absolute greatest friend ever.”

This is in sharp contrast to the story from Taylor’s team, that she was set up and betrayed by Lively when she showed up at the penthouse. Taylor’s team made the point … T.S. didn’t know Justin was there and did not take sides.

And then there’s this … on May 17, 2024, Lively and Ryan Reynolds texted Matt and Lucy Damon, asking them to support Lively’s cut of the film. Reynold’s told them Baldoni was “a malignantly vein (sic), sociopathic FAUXminist with almost no sense of boundaries or shame. I cannot believe he hasn’t gone to jail…” 

A pedestrian was critically injured when he was absolutely plowed by a police cruiser while walking in a crosswalk in the Los Angeles area this weekend … and the moment was all caught on video.

Check out the footage — the man is in the crosswalk as the traffic light appears to have changed … with other cars already rolling by … he’s nearly to the sidewalk when he looks up and starts to trot — and then he’s blasted by a fast-moving Montebello Police Department patrol SUV.

The impact sends the victim flying through the air as he lands yards away … while the patrol car veers and smashes into the traffic light pole. The dazed officer inside takes a few moments to collect himself before jumping out and running over to the injured man … other cars stop and one driver gets out to render aid.

West Coast hip hop legend Yukmouth took the reins of the “TMZ After Dark” tour this weekend … and he had the bus absolutely rocking.

Yukmouth — one half of the hip hop duo Luniz — turned ‘After Dark’ into a rolling concert on wheels … he brought the energy and staked his claim as one of the best celeb guest hosts we’ve ever had … just watch the video and see for yourself.

With Yukmouth leading the way, our tour stopped at The Burgundy Room for green tea shots, then it was off to Beaches WeHo for lemon drops before our final stop at the Saddle Ranch … where folks downed gummy shots and hopped on the mechanical bull.

DJ Coach West kept the vibes elevated all night … and the party was nonstop from start to finish.

El-Jay picked up the baton and hosted our second ‘After Dark’ tour … surprising folks with a live performance of his new album, “Letter 2 Self,” and he gave out signed posters of his latest single.

The son of multi-platinum singer Rome, El-Jay also performed his pops’ big hit, “I Belong To You.” For some folks on board, that was a throwback to their baby-making music.

DJ Rico hopped on the 1s and 2s and kept the energy high … and there was lots and lots of dancing.
