Hey there! Taylor Swift has made it crystal clear—she's not tangled up in the ongoing legal fiasco between actors Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. According to the BBC, the alleged issue started when Baldoni was accused of pressuring script changes for Lively during the filming of "A Simple Favour." But fear not, Swift was nowhere near the set, nor was she involved in any creative decisions, casting, score, or edits.

Recently, a subpoena popped up for Swift, but it turns out, it's more about creating buzz rather than exploring the facts at hand. Swift's spokesperson shared their thoughts, stating, "We see this subpoena as a publicity stunt aimed at stirring up interest and sensational headlines, rather than focusing on the actual facts of the case."

So, what's the deal-breaker between these Hollywood stars? Lively banked a lawsuit against Baldoni in December, claiming sexual harassment on the set of "A Simple Favour." Interestingly, Baldoni hit back with a defamation lawsuit, pulling in Lively's hubby, Ryan Reynolds.

Us media outlets initially linked Swift to the case through text messages between Baldoni and Lively. However, Swift's management was quick to clarify her role, stating, "Taylor Swift has absolutely no connection to the LA-based dispute, apart from her song 'My Tears Ricochet,' which was licensed for use in 'It Ends With Us' movie."

It may surprise you to learn that Swift was simply involved in licensing her song, and her busy tour schedule during 2023 and 2024 prevented any direct involvement with the film. Various artists, much like Swift, were also involved in licensing songs for this movie.

So, in summary, fans can rest easy knowing that Taylor Swift is merely a passive player in this soap opera of a legal battle. Her primary connection is licensing the song "My Tears Ricochet" for the film "It Ends With Us." She had no role in the film's production, editing, casting, or anything else that could potentially land her in hot water. Here's to hoping that this legal drama gets sorted out soon!
