Taylor Swift and Blake Lively's friendship goes back years, and although they have been by each other's sides for a decade, things reportedly changed after Swift was subpoenaed by Justin Baldoni's lawyers amid the It Ends With Us co-stars' legal battles.
Now that Swift has announced her 12-track list for her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, fans are wondering if the title of one song — "Ruin the Friendship" — is about the pair's alleged falling out.

"I happen to have a few dragons. For better or worse, but usually for better," Lively allegedly wrote in the text. "Because my dragons also protect those I fight for. So really we all benefit from those gorgeous monsters of mine. [Smiley-face emoji] you will too, I can promise you."
