A spokesperson for Taylor Swift stated that the attempt to subpoena her as a witness in Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s legal case is an effort to exploit her name for publicity. Baldoni’s attorney issued the subpoena in connection with the film “It Ends With Us,” despite Swift having no involvement in the movie beyond licensing a song. The legal battle involves Lively’s allegations of sexual harassment against Baldoni, who has countered with defamation claims, seeking $400 million, with a trial set for March 2026.
