Swift did not engage in It Ends With Us’ promotional efforts by rolling up her sleeves, but she contributed in another way by lending her music to the soundtrack, ‘My Tears Ricochet.’ While Swift has yet to touch upon her best friend’s legal outings against Baldoni, she has time and again made it clear where her loyalty lies.
