Taylor Swift to be subpoenaed this week in Blake Lively’s legal battle with Justin Baldoni

The ongoing legal showdown between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni has taken an unexpected turn, pulling A-list names into the spotlight.

According to recent reports, Taylor Swift and Hugh Jackman are expected to be subpoenaed as witnesses in the intensifying legal battle involving Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds.

The conflict began in December when Lively filed a lawsuit accusing Baldoni, her It Ends With Us co-star and director, of sexual harassment and orchestrating a campaign to damage her reputation. In response, Baldoni countersued the couple for a staggering $400 million, citing defamation and civil extortion among other claims. The trial is scheduled for March 2026.

Swift, a long-time friend of Lively and Reynolds-and godmother to their three children-has reportedly been named in Baldoni’s legal documents. In one excerpt, Lively allegedly described Swift and Reynolds as her “dragons,” a Game of Thrones-style reference meant to suggest their fierce loyalty and protection.

Baldoni also claimed that Swift was present during a key script discussion at Lively’s New York penthouse and implied she may have been used to intimidate him.

Celebrity witnesses could shift the case’s trajectory

Adding fuel to the fire, Hugh Jackman’s name has also surfaced. Close to Reynolds through their work on Deadpool & Wolverine, Jackman’s alleged knowledge of a character spoof called “Nicepool”-which bears a striking resemblance to Baldoni-could prove significant.

The character’s floral scene with Lively’s on-screen persona is seen as a pointed jab, referencing her role in It Ends With Us.

Neither Swift nor Jackman has commented publicly, though sources suggest Swift has been bracing for a subpoena. Lively is said to have apologized privately to Swift for any fallout, emphasizing that there was never an intent to drag her into the conflict.

As the courtroom drama deepens, the involvement of major celebrities could significantly influence public perception-and possibly the outcome-of what is shaping up to be one of Hollywood’s most explosive legal sagas.

‘We have no doubt’ – Wolff defends Antonelli after Zandvoort woes

Mercedes boss Toto Wolff says they "absolutely expected" the rollercoaster nature of Kimi Antonelli's rookie F1 season and retain "no doubt" about the teenager's ultimate potential after this Dutch Grand Prix was undone by crashing into Charles Leclerc.Antonelli, 19, experienced an incident-packed weekend on the resumption of F1's season at Zandvoort. It ultimately yielded no points after his race-day collision with Leclerc earned him a 10-second penalty. That, combined with a subsequent five-second sanction for speeding in the pit lane, eventually dropped the Italian from sixth to 16th in the final classification.It means Antonelli has scored just a single point in the last five races but Wolff, whose Mercedes outfit first signed the Italian to their junior programme as a 12-year-old and this year made him the third-youngest F1 driver of all time as replacement for the Ferrari-bound Lewis Hamilton, […]
