Taylor Swift No Longer Subpoenaed in Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni Lawsuit
Briefly

In the ongoing legal disputes surrounding the film It Ends With Us, Justin Baldoni's legal team has withdrawn a subpoena directed at Taylor Swift after facing criticism for its appropriateness. A representative for Blake Lively, involved in the case, expressed their support for Swift and condemned the harassment of third parties. This development followed a judge's dismissal of an irrelevant extortion claim from Baldoni's team. The upcoming trial in March 2026 promises to be extensive, detailing the numerous allegations exchanged between the parties involved, including Lively's remarks about Swift.
Look what you made her do- wait, no, it's look what she made you do. Channeling the (rumored) incoming Reputation (Taylor's Version)era, Justin Baldoni's lawyers have backed off of Taylor Swift in the It Ends With Us trial against Blake Lively.
We supported the efforts of Taylor's team to quash these inappropriate subpoenas directed to her counsel, and we will continue to stand up for any third party who is unjustly harassed or threatened in the process.
Baldoni's team initially claimed that Lively used her friend Swift's "megacelebrity" status in order to influence Lively's direction on the film against Baldoni. However, Swift's legal team maintained that Swift's only involvement in the film was licensing one of her songs.
The subpoena removal comes shortly after a judge struck down an extortion claim made by Baldoni's team last week, calling the claim "irrelevant" to the upcoming trial, scheduled for March 2026.
