Taylor Swift , a global music icon, has now found herself unexpectedly caught in the middle of a high-profile legal dispute—one that could ripple far beyond the original parties involved. According to a Daily Mail report, Swift has been subpoenaed in the escalating legal feud between actress Blake Lively and actor/director Justin Baldoni . Though she is not directly involved in the case, her close friendship with Lively may have led to her being pulled into the drama.
How Blake Lively’s lawsuit escalated into a celebrity-wide legal circus
The case began when Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni, accusing him of sexual harassment and defamation during and after their collaboration on It Ends With Us. Baldoni vehemently denied the claims and responded with a jaw-dropping $400 million countersuit for defamation and civil extortion. He alleges that Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds , and her public relations team launched a targeted smear campaign.
As the courtroom battle intensified, major Hollywood names started to appear in legal documents and rumors. Now, Taylor Swift’s subpoena has added a new layer of public intrigue.
“Swift will be required to participate”: What this could mean legally and personally
“Swift will be required to participate,” the Daily Mail source states, indicating that depositions are being scheduled. While there’s no indication that Swift has any direct knowledge of the incidents in question, her friendship with Lively may place her in a position where her testimony is seen as relevant background.
This legal pressure arrives at a time when Swift and her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce , are already in the media spotlight. Rumors about the couple's relationship have swirled, particularly after Kelce reportedly unfollowed Ryan Reynolds on social media. Some have speculated that this move may hint at deeper tensions, though no official statement has been made.
Could Travis Kelce be dragged into the case next?
Kelce’s name has been floated in connection with the drama, although there’s no confirmed involvement. Still, speculation runs rampant—especially since he shares a high-profile friendship with Reynolds and has been spotted in multiple social events involving the parties now facing legal scrutiny.
Despite the brewing storm, a Page Six report has reassured fans that Swift and Kelce remain together, and Swift is expected to “comply with legal obligations while keeping her personal life separate from the unfolding scandal.”
