Taylor Swift subpoenaed in Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni court battle

Taylor Swift has been subpoenaed as a witness in Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's ongoing legal battle.

A source has revealed that besides Swift, Hugh Jackman could also be served with a subpoena.

"Anyone that had any knowledge of this situation will be subpoenaed, no matter of their celebrity status," the source told People Magazine.

Meanwhile, another insider has said both stars are "not privy to anything going on," calling the claims that they will be subpoenaed "smoke and mirrors and trying to distract from the allegations against Baldoni."

Swift's rep has also broken silence on the matter, rubbishing the move as an attempt to create "tabloid clickbait."

"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," Swift's spokesperson told the outlet.

"The connection Taylor had to this film was permitting the use of one song, My Tears Ricochet. Given that her involvement was licensing a song for the film, which 19 other artists also did, this document subpoena is designed to use Taylor Swift’s name to draw public interest by creating tabloid clickbait instead of focusing on the facts of the case," the rep continued.

Lively and Baldoni are expected to face each other in court on March 9, 2026.

Baldoni faces allegations of sexual harassment, "unprofessional" behaviour on set, and launching a retaliatory smear campaign. Meanwhile, Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and their publicity team are being countersued by Baldoni over defamation and extortion.
