Taylor Swift Agrees to Testify in LivelyBaldoni Case, Deposition Sought for Late October

The deposition depends on a court-approved extension of discovery to accommodate her availability.

Overview

  • Court filings state Swift is available to be deposed during the week of October 20–25 due to preexisting professional obligations.
  • Baldoni’s counsel asked Judge Lewis J. Liman to modify the scheduling order for that window and said they are not seeking a blanket 30‑day discovery extension.
  • The request was filed by the Wayfarer Parties, with attorney Ellyn S. Garofalo citing Swift's inability to appear before October 20.
  • A May subpoena for Swift was withdrawn after her representatives said her involvement with It Ends With Us was limited to licensing a single song and she had no role in production or creative decisions.
  • Baldoni referenced Swift in his January countersuit against Lively, which a judge threw out in June, and Page Six now reports new, unverified harassment claims against him by an unnamed individual.
