Swift and Jackman Likely to Be Subpoenaed in Legal Battle Involving Lively and Baldoni

Los Angeles, CA – Taylor Swift and Hugh Jackman are set to be subpoenaed this week in the escalating legal feud between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. Sources have indicated that the two A-list stars could face legal inquiries as part of the ongoing lawsuit that began with Lively’s filing in December 2024 against her It Ends With Us co-star for emotional distress and lost wages.

Baldoni responded in January 2025 by suing Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, for $400 million, accusing them of defamation and civil extortion. All parties involved have denied the allegations made against each other.

A source told the Daily Mail, “It could happen at any time,” regarding the subpoenas for Swift and Jackman, hinting at the unexpected nature of this latest twist in the saga. Swift, a close friend of Lively, has reportedly been anticipating the subpoena.

The legal battle intensified when Baldoni’s countersuit alleged that Lively used her friendship with Swift to pressure him during script revisions for the film. In texts presented as evidence, Baldoni claimed Lively referred to Swift and Reynolds as her “dragons” who support her in her endeavors.

Furthermore, Baldoni’s lawsuit includes details of an alleged conversation where Lively sought time to work on the script revisions, connecting it to her relationship with Swift. He contends that Lively’s attempts to leverage her connections created a hostile atmosphere during their collaboration.

Swift’s music, specifically her track “My Tears Ricochet” from the Folklore album, was also mentioned in the dispute as part of a possible condition for moving forward in their creative process.

If served with subpoenas, both Swift and Jackman will be required to answer questions under oath, a procedure that usually takes place ahead of the trial scheduled for March 29, 2026. This development is likely to draw significant media attention given their high-profile status.

As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how these subpoenas will influence the course of the litigation and the relationships among those involved.
