Overview

  • Taylor Swift has been subpoenaed by Justin Baldoni's legal team in his $400 million defamation countersuit against Blake Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and others.
  • Swift's representatives assert her involvement in the film was limited to licensing her song 'My Tears Ricochet' and label the subpoena as a 'tabloid clickbait' strategy.
  • Blake Lively's legal team has filed a request for Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios to provide comprehensive financial records to justify their damages claim.
  • The legal feud stems from Lively's allegations of sexual harassment and a hostile work environment against Baldoni during the production of 'It Ends With Us.'
  • The trial is scheduled for March 2026, with both sides currently entrenched in pretrial discovery and escalating public and legal disputes.
