It started with a movie that was supposed to be about healing and now it could bring Taylor Swift into a courtroom. Blake Lively’s lawsuit against Justin Baldoni began after their work together on It Ends With Us, where she accused him of sexual harassment and retaliation. Baldoni hit back with a $400 million countersuit accusing Blake and Ryan Reynolds of defamation, but a judge dismissed it in June. Now, with discovery deadlines looming, Taylor’s name is the one everyone is talking about.
Her attorney told the court that she “did not agree” to a deposition, but will appear the week of October 20 if legally forced. The letter stressed that Taylor has “no material role” in the case, her only connection being that she licensed My Tears Ricochet for the film’s soundtrack. That quiet stance feels intentional, like someone refusing to let a legal fight drag her into chaos.
Taylor Swift might be called in
Fans are fascinated by the twist. One said it feels like “a scene from a courtroom drama nobody asked for.” Another joked that if Taylor testifies, “it will be the most streamed deposition in history”. People seem split between wanting to know what she might say and worrying this could invade her privacy. The case has become more than legal drama, it is a cultural moment.
The tension rose when Baldoni’s team filed a letter claiming Taylor had already agreed to testify between October 20 and 25. Blake’s lawyers quickly pushed back arguing that Baldoni is trying to stretch the case beyond the normal deadlines just to bring Taylor in. Suddenly this is not just about the lawsuit anymore. It is about who is telling the truth and whether Taylor will be pulled in against her will.

Taylor’s spokesperson has since made it clear that her only connection to this case is her song. Baldoni’s lawyers claim she was at a key meeting at Blake’s home, but her side has not confirmed that. Fans see this as Taylor being deliberate, staying focused on her work, and not letting outside drama take over her narrative.
Taylor has built her career on turning complicated moments into connection, and this might be another. Whether she ends up testifying or not, her calm response shows why people trust her voice.
