See what you got Taylor Swift to do, Justin Baldoni.
On May 9, we learned that Swift has been sued as a witness in running – and very ugly – legal battle between Blake Lively and Baldoni … which stems from a great conflict about their 2024 film, it ends with us.
The superstar also has something to say about it.
“Taylor Swift never set foot on the set of this movie, she wasn’t involved in any casting or creative decisions, she didn’t score the movie, she never saw an editing or made any notes about the movie, she didn’t even see it ending up with us until weeks after it was published, and traveled around the globe during 2023 and 2024 that exceeded the biggest tour of the story,” The maneuver.
This rep added:
The connection that Taylor had to this movie was to allow the use of a song, ‘My Tears Ricochet.’
“Given that her engagement licensed a song for the film, as 19 other artists did, this document is the subpoena designed to use Taylor Swift’s name to draw the public by creating tabloid clickbait instead of focusing on the facts of the case.”
Swift and lively are very good friends. They have participated in a series of Kansas City Chiefs games in the past two seasons.
Lively, Lively, Baldoni sued in December and accused him of sexual harassment, “disturbing” and “unprofessional” behavior on sets of the aforementioned film along with a retaliatory development campaign.
Baldoni has denied the claims and in January filed a Context Claim of defamation and extortion against lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds and their advertisingam.
This is kind of where Swift comes in.
Swift is not named as a defendant in Baldoni’s complaint, nor mentioned by her full name everywhere in the documents.
However, the Grammy-winning artist is Referred to several times as verbally supporting one of Livly’s rewrites for it ending with us during a meeting between Baldoni and Lively in her apartment in New York.
The filing claims that Baldoni’s takeaway from the alleged interaction was, “Baldoni understood the subtitle: He had to comply with Lively’s direction for the manuscript.”
Swift has not said a word publicly about his alleged role in this back and forth public relations disaster.
Lively is reportedly very sorry to have her mixed in it.
In an alleged text exchange after his interaction with lively, fast and Reynolds … Baldoni allegedly told the actress that her script changes were “so much more fun and interesting” and that he “would have felt that way without Ryan and Taylor,” added a playful emoji.
Lively, Lively responded by comparing herself with Khaleesi from Game of Thrones, called her husband and Swift her “dragons” and later her “dance moms level stage moms.”
Lively and Baldoni’s dueling litigation are scheduled to go to trial in March.
And Swift may not be the last famous person being drawn into this mess; Hugh Jackman could also be served with a subpoena.
“Anyone who had any knowledge of this situation will be sued, regardless of their celebrity status,” a source of magazine told People Friday.
