I need help with him,\u201d Lively reportedly wrote, asking Swift to express excitement about the project and praise certain script pages. Swift allegedly replied that she would \u201cdo anything\u201d for her friend.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1487\" data-end=\"1897\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Other unsealed messages reveal a warm, playful dynamic between the two women. In one text, Lively praised Swift following a reportedly tense confrontation with Baldoni at her apartment. \u201cYou were so epically heroic today,\u201d Lively wrote, calling Swift \u201cthe world\u2019s absolutely greatest friend.\u201d Swift\u2019s response was equally effusive: \u201cI WON THE LOTTERY.
