He said that Isabela Ferrer to play a younger version of Blake Lively’s character, Lily, but that is not the only reason.
“I had actually brought in and showed her casting tape to Blake and Taylor and they were both, like, ‘Yes! Her,'” Baldoni said at a sit-down with Access Hollywood.
Hefurther added, “And that’s a true story.”
Moreover, Ferrer also confirmed that Swift had "some influence" in her getting the role, and that she was a "helpful part of the process" during her audition.
“I don’t even know if I’m supposed to be saying it, but I’m saying it!” she told Extra at the premiere of It Ends With Us.
Ferrer added, “Yeah, she was a helpful part of the process of the audition, which I found out later after I got it and that rocked my world. I have no words.”
