It\u2019s become a full-blown public spectacle. But what really shocked fans was the unexpected mention of <strong data-start=\"322\" data-end=\"340\">Taylor Swift\u2019s<\/strong> name in the middle of all this drama.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"381\" data-end=\"589\">To recap: Blake Lively accused Baldoni of <strong data-start=\"423\" data-end=\"444\">sexual harassment<\/strong> back in December. Then in January, Baldoni fired back with a <strong data-start=\"506\" data-end=\"521\">countersuit<\/strong>, where he allegedly brought up Swift\u2019s name as part of his defense.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"591\" data-end=\"971\">Fast forward to this past Friday\u2014<strong data-start=\"624\" data-end=\"664\">Taylor Swift has now been subpoenaed<\/strong>, which means she\u2019s been legally asked to testify as a witness in this messy court case. According to a report by the <em data-start=\"782\" data-end=\"794\">Daily Mail<\/em>, Swift was <em data-start=\"806\" data-end=\"818\">devastated<\/em> by this. Insiders claim she was totally caught off guard by how far the situation has escalated and that she\u2019s \u201cvery upset\u201d about being dragged into it.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"973\" data-end=\"1350\">The article also claimed that Taylor feels completely <strong data-start=\"1027\" data-end=\"1048\">betrayed and used<\/strong> by Blake Lively\u2014someone she\u2019s been close friends with for years. In Baldoni\u2019s lawsuit, there are supposedly text messages and emails where Lively even referred to Swift as one of her \u201c<strong data-start=\"1233\" data-end=\"1244\">dragons<\/strong>\u201d\u2014a term that seems to suggest Taylor was someone she relied on or used as a form of support or influence.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1352\" data-end=\"1601\">There\u2019s also a claim that Taylor was <strong data-start=\"1389\" data-end=\"1413\">present at a meeting<\/strong> about <em data-start=\"1420\" data-end=\"1437\">It Ends With Us<\/em> at Blake and <strong data-start=\"1451\" data-end=\"1469\">Ryan Reynolds\u2019<\/strong> house in New York. Baldoni\u2019s team is implying that Swift may have had some level of involvement in the film\u2019s production decisions.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1603\" data-end=\"2076\">But according to sources close to Taylor, that isn\u2019t true. They said she just happened to be there when the meeting was already happening, and that she didn\u2019t have any say in the matter. One of the rumors was that Taylor <strong data-start=\"1824\" data-end=\"1859\">personally approved the casting<\/strong> of <strong data-start=\"1863\" data-end=\"1881\">Isabela Ferrer<\/strong> as young Lily Bloom, the film\u2019s main character. The insider shut that down, calling the claim <em data-start=\"1976\" data-end=\"1991\">totally false<\/em>. They said the subpoena is trying to dig into situations that <em data-start=\"2054\" data-end=\"2075\">never even happened<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2078\" data-end=\"2232\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Right now, this legal feud is still unfolding, and the drama continues to trend online as fans and followers try to piece together what\u2019s really going on.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flex justify-start\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div class=\"pointer-events-none h-px w-px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-edge=\"true\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Right now, the legal battle between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively is blowing up all over social media.
