Overview

• Taylor Swift has been formally subpoenaed as a witness in the legal battle between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni over allegations of sexual harassment and defamation.
• Swift's representatives emphasized her limited connection to the film 'It Ends With Us,' stating her involvement was solely the licensing of her song 'My Tears Ricochet.'
• Blake Lively's attorney criticized the subpoena, arguing it lacks relevance to the case and is a tactic to generate media attention through celebrity involvement.
• Justin Baldoni's legal team alleges that Lively and Ryan Reynolds used Swift's influence to pressure Baldoni into accepting script changes, citing text messages and meetings as evidence.
• Both Lively and Baldoni are set to testify in the federal trial scheduled for March 2026, with pretrial discovery and legal disputes over subpoenas continuing.
