Taylor Swift Caught Up in Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni Legal Drama
Lawsuit allegedly implicates Taylor Swift in questionable circumstances
In the never-ending saga of Hollywood, US superstar Taylor Swift finds herself tangled in a legal dispute between actors Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. Swift is not happy about it.
The high-profile drama between Lively and Baldoni, originally centering around the film "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood," has now surged on with Swift's unwitting involvement. According to BBC reports, Swift is accused of pressuring Baldoni to accept script changes for a friend of Lively during the film's production, though the singer was not on set and had no creative control[3].

Swift's management team swiftly responded, stating that Swift had no creative or administrative involvement in the film, was never on set, did not make any notes, and did not contribute to the movie's soundtrack. They deemed the subpoena aimed at the pop star as a ploy for publicity rather than focusing on the facts of the case[3].
Lively, known for her role in "Gossip Girl," sued Baldoni in December, accusing him of sexual harassment during "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" and alleging an attempted reputation destruction. Baldoni, who also directed the film, countersued both Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds for defamation[1].
The upcoming march 2026 trial will address both lawsuits, with Lively pinpointing Baldoni and his associates for instigating a smear campaign against her, while Baldoni contends Lively's allegations are unfounded and have hurt his career[1][2].
So, brace yourselves, folks. It seems Hollywood drama continues to be Swift's playlist, whether she likes it or not.
