New York — Taylor Swift is finding herself at the center of a legal controversy involving her friend Blake Lively and actor Justin Baldoni. Reports surfaced Friday indicating that Swift has been subpoenaed in the ongoing lawsuit between Baldoni and Lively. However, Swift’s representative strongly disputed the necessity of her involvement, stating that her connection to the film "It Ends With Us" only pertains to the licensing of one song.

According to the spokesperson, Swift had no role in the movie’s production, asserting, "Taylor Swift never set foot on the set of this movie, was not involved in any casting or creative decisions, and she didn’t score the film." The spokesperson elaborated that Swift only saw the film weeks after its premiere while occupied with a global tour, which is recognized as one of the largest in history.

This comments contrasted with previous statements made by Baldoni, who claimed that during a meeting held in Lively’s Tribeca penthouse to discuss revising a scene, Swift made an unexpected appearance and expressed her support for Lively’s writing. In text messages submitted as evidence, Lively refers to both Swift and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, as her "dragons," a nod to the popular series "Game of Thrones."

Legal documents filed by Baldoni’s team suggested that Swift may possess insights regarding Lively’s thoughts on the ongoing litigation. Isabela Ferrer, who portrays a younger version of Lively’s character in "It Ends With Us," mentioned in an interview that Swift played a supportive role in her audition process, calling it a transformative experience.

The spokesperson reiterated that Swift’s involvement was merely in permitting the use of her song "My Tears Ricochet," a track from her Folklore album that is part of the film’s soundtrack. Notably, 19 other artists also contributed songs to the movie. "This subpoena appears aimed at sensationalizing the case for the media rather than addressing its real concerns,” the representative remarked.

Baldoni and Lively have been entangled in a legal dispute since December, when Lively alleged sexual harassment and a campaign to tarnish her reputation. Baldoni has vehemently denied these accusations and has countersued Lively, her husband, Reynolds, and their publicist, claiming civil extortion and defamation. The litigation is set for trial in March 2026, which may shed more light on the intricate web of relationships and allegations involved.

As the case unfolds, it remains clear that the intersection of celebrity and legal matters continues to draw significant attention, raising questions about privacy, friendship, and the complexities of public life.
