The drama surrounding Blake Lively and her It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni has taken a surprising turn, pulling in pop icon Taylor Swift and her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce. What began as a legal dispute between Lively and Baldoni has now spiraled into a high-profile controversy, with Swift’s name unexpectedly tied to the $400 million lawsuit.
Back in December 2024, Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni, alleging sexual harassment during the filming of their movie. Baldoni denied the claims and hit back with a $400 million defamation suit against Lively, escalating the conflict.

According to Baldoni’s legal filings, Lively name-dropped Swift to push for changes in the film’s production, even claiming Swift attended a post-production meeting at Lively’s New York City apartment. This revelation has put Swift in the spotlight, with reports suggesting she might be subpoenaed to testify under oath.
Lively’s attorney, Mike Gottlieb, addressed the speculation in an exclusive interview with People. “It’s completely unclear what claims or defenses in the case any of these celebrities… have any relevance to at all,” Gottlieb said, questioning the need to involve Swift, along with Lively’s husband, Ryan Reynolds, and his Deadpool & Wolverine co-star Hugh Jackman.

He emphasized the case’s core issue: “This is a case about what happened to Blake Lively when she raised claims of sexual harassment on the set.” Gottlieb also challenged Baldoni’s motives, adding, “You can’t just go around subpoenaing people because they’re famous and you think it will generate a bunch of headlines.”
The controversy has reportedly taken a toll on Swift, who was spotted with Lively at Super Bowl LVIII in 2024, cheering for Kelce. Sources say Swift felt “really hurt” by the situation, though she and Lively have since reconciled. Amid the legal chaos, Kelce’s name surfaced when he reportedly unfollowed Reynolds on Instagram, fueling rumors of a rift between the couples. Earlier reports noted Swift leaned on Kelce for support during this ordeal, highlighting the strain it caused.
As Lively prepares to take the stand in the upcoming trial, the possibility of Swift being questioned looms large. The federal courts, Gottlieb warns, won’t tolerate publicity stunts, but the drama continues to captivate fans. With friendships and reputations on the line, this $400 million legal battle keeps everyone guessing about what’s next for Swift, Kelce, and Lively.
