US EditionTaylor Swift no longer required to testify in Justin Baldoni's legal dispute with Blake Lively
- On May 22, 2025, Justin Baldoni withdrew subpoenas that had compelled Taylor Swift to testify in his ongoing legal dispute with Blake Lively over the movie It Ends With Us.
- The subpoenas, served earlier in May, followed Lively's December 2024 lawsuit accusing Baldoni of sexual harassment and retaliation, while Baldoni countered with defamation claims.
- Swift's representatives criticized the subpoenas as tabloid-driven distractions since Swift had no creative involvement in the film, and Lively’s team supported efforts to quash the requests.
- A Lively spokesperson said they welcomed the withdrawal of the subpoenas and pledged to protect any third party from unjust harassment during the legal process.
- Swift’s exclusion does not affect the ongoing litigation between Lively and Baldoni, with a trial scheduled for March 2026 in New York City.
