Taylor Swift may soon find herself entangled in a high-profile legal battle between her close friend Blake Lively and actor-director Justin Baldoni. Reports suggest Swift, along with actor Hugh Jackman, is on a list of potential witnesses who could be subpoenaed in the escalating case.
The dispute originates from a lawsuit filed by Lively against Baldoni, her co-star and the director of It Ends With Us. Lively has accused Baldoni of sexual harassment on set and alleges he retaliated by spreading damaging falsehoods about her. In response, Baldoni has launched a $400 million countersuit, claiming that Lively and her husband, actor Ryan Reynolds, engaged in defamation and extortion aimed at ruining his career.
While no official subpoenas have been issued to Swift or Jackman, both are considered possible witnesses due to their close ties to the parties involved—Swift through her longtime friendship with Lively, and Jackman through his connection with Reynolds via the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine film.
Despite her name surfacing in the legal documents, sources close to Swift indicate she has no interest in getting involved. One insider told Entertainment Tonight, “Taylor does not want to be involved in Blake’s legal battle with Justin. She and Travis [Kelce] have been laying low, traveling, and enjoying some much-needed downtime.”
Swift has yet to make any public comment, and her legal team has not confirmed whether she will comply with a potential subpoena. For now, the pop star remains focused on her relationship with NFL player Travis Kelce and keeping a low profile.
The courtroom showdown between Lively and Baldoni is shaping up to be a drawn-out legal drama. The trial is not expected to begin until March 2026, giving both legal teams ample time to gather evidence and prepare their cases. Lively’s complaint includes detailed claims of inappropriate behavior and a coordinated smear campaign, which Baldoni’s legal team has firmly denied.
As the case unfolds, the possibility of major Hollywood names being pulled into the spotlight adds a dramatic twist to an already contentious legal saga.
