Cruel Subpoena Summer: Taylor Swift Dragged Directly Into Pal Blake Lively’s Battle With Justin Baldoni


Blake Lively's close pal Taylor Swift is now official a major player in the legal battle with Justin Baldoni over alleged astroturfing, harassment

Deadline has confirmed that Swift was subpoenaed earlier this week by lawyer Bryan Freedman for Baldoni, executives for his Wayfarer Studios, plus publicists Melissa Nathan and Jennifer Abel. The roping in of Swift, one of the most famous people on the planet, truly cranks up the volume on the now six-month old case that went public on December 20 when Lively filed a complaint with California’s Civil Rights Department. “Taylor Swift never set foot on the set of this movie, she was not involved in any casting or creative decisions, she did not score the film, she never saw an edit or made any notes on the film, she did not even see It Ends With Us until weeks after its public release, and was traveling around the globe during 2023 and 2024 headlining the biggest tour in history,” a Swift spokesperson says Friday in response to the subpoena for Baldoni’s crew.
