Taylor Swift Subpoena Dropped in Lively-Baldoni Legal Battle

NEW YORK, NY — In a significant turn of events, the legal team for Justin Baldoni has dropped a subpoena that sought documents from pop superstar Taylor Swift in their ongoing legal conflict with Blake Lively. A spokesperson for Lively confirmed the news, stating that they are ‘pleased’ Baldoni’s legal representatives have withdrawn what they deemed ‘harassing subpoenas.’

The spokesperson emphasized ongoing support for Swift’s team to quash these subpoenas, describing them as inappropriate and targeting a friend rather than any factual basis in the case. ‘We will continue to stand up for any third party who is unjustly harassed or threatened in the process,’ the spokesperson declared.

Lively’s representative further alleged that Baldoni’s tactics aimed to exploit Swift’s celebrity status for attention. ‘The Baldoni and Wayfarer team have tried to put Taylor Swift at the center of this case since day one,’ the statement read. This assertion followed claims from Baldoni’s attorneys, who indicated that Lively had threatened to release private texts if Swift did not support her publicly, claims which a judge called ‘improper.’

Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni in December 2024, accusing him of sexual harassment among other things. Baldoni subsequently filed a countersuit alleging extortion and defamation against Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and their publicist. Both parties are set to face each other in court for a trial scheduled in March 2026.

As the legal battle intensifies, Swift’s team has strongly denied any connection to the film at the center of this dispute, stating she was only involved through the licensing of her song, ‘My Tears Ricochet.’ Her representative emphasized Swift’s lack of involvement in any production or creative decisions regarding ‘It Ends With Us.’

The situation remains fluid as both Baldoni and Lively prepare for the upcoming trial, with tensions spilling into public view through various statements and responses from their respective legal teams.
