Taylor Swift will sit for a deposition in Blake Lively’s ongoing legal fight with Justin Baldoni, adding a shocking twist to the $400M celebrity lawsuit.
In a surprising turn of events, Taylor Swift has agreed to participate in the ongoing legal battle between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni.
Swift, who was once close friends with Lively, has been named in court documents and is expected to sit for a deposition next month, according to reports from E! News.
Background of the Case
The dispute began in December 2024, when Blake Lively filed a federal lawsuit against Justin Baldoni, accusing him of sexual harassment and running a smear campaign.
Baldoni, who starred alongside Lively in It Ends With Us, denied the allegations and later filed a $400 million countersuit against Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, in January 2025. That case was dismissed in June, but the legal fight between the two actors has continued.
Why Taylor Swift Is Involved
Court documents reveal that Baldoni’s legal team is seeking testimony from Swift, who allegedly exchanged messages with Lively during the filming of It Ends With Us.

In May 2025, Baldoni’s lawyers even alleged that Lively asked Swift to delete certain text messages and pressured her to release a statement of support. Reps for Lively strongly denied those claims, calling them “cowardly” and “untethered from reality.”
Despite the drama, Swift has agreed to appear for questioning during the last week of October 2025, due to what court filings describe as her “preexisting professional obligations.”
Legal Teams Fire Back
Lively’s attorney, Mike Gottlieb, slammed Baldoni’s side, saying:
“We unequivocally deny all of these so-called allegations. This is what we have come to expect from the Wayfarer parties’ lawyers — no evidence, and no care for the people they are harming.”
Meanwhile, Baldoni’s camp continues to push for Swift’s testimony, suggesting it could be a key factor in the upcoming trial scheduled for March 2026.
