Taylor Swift Could Soon Find Herself Sitting in a Courtroom
Taylor Swift is used to performing live for tens of thousands of fans on a near-nightly basis. But standing in front of a judge could bring its own sort of unique pressure.
If various media reports turn out to be true, the “Bad Blood” singer could find herself being handed a subpoena this week to testify in the ongoing legal drama between Blake Lively and her It Ends With Us co-star and director Justin Baldoni. According to a number of sources, Swift—and Ryan Reynolds’ BFF Hugh Jackman—could both be served with subpoenas to testify as early as this week.
If you haven’t been following the drama, it all began when Lively—a longtime friend of Swift’s—sued Baldoni for sexual harassment. He then filed his own lawsuit, claiming that any sexual harassment accusations were untrue. And accusing Lively of trying to use her powerful husband and circle of friends to further intimidate him.
It does appear that Swift met Baldoni at least once, at Lively’s New York City apartment, where the billionaire pop star and Lively’s Deadpool husband both gushed over the changes the Gossip Girl star had suggested for their movie’s screenplay.
On Tuesday, an anonymous source told The Daily Mail that Swift and Jackman will “most definitely be served this week” and that “It could happen at any time.”
The same source went on to note that Lively and Swift—who is the godmother to three of Lively and Reynolds’ four children—have not been seen together since her name was first publicly dragged into the legal circus. Reports have recently surfaced claiming that the duo have mended their rift, but they still have yet to be seen grabbing a meal, and Lively did not accompany Swift to this year’s Super Bowl (as she had previously).
