Taylor Swift Betrayed and Dragged into Court Drama

Taylor Swift didn’t see it coming. The global pop star now finds herself at the center of a legal war — one involving former best friend Blake Lively and actor-director Justin Baldoni.

Legal Bombshell Hits Swift

On Friday, Baldoni’s legal team subpoenaed Swift, 35, as a witness in the headline-grabbing case. The sudden legal twist deeply upset her, according to sources. Swift reportedly feels blindsided and exploited by someone she once considered family.

Despite smiling through a Mother’s Day lunch in Philadelphia with boyfriend Travis Kelce, insiders say the subpoena emotionally wrecked her. “This subpoena takes it to a whole new level,” one source said.

Close Friendship Crumbles

Until recently, Swift and Lively, 37, shared one of Hollywood’s tightest bonds. They lived just blocks apart in Tribeca. Swift is even godmother to Lively’s three daughters.

But tensions began in December when Lively accused Baldoni of sexual harassment and defamation. The drama deepened in January when Baldoni countersued — dragging Swift and Lively’s husband Ryan Reynolds into the legal chaos.

Baldoni’s lawyers claim Swift attended a major meeting at the Reynolds-Lively penthouse to discuss the film “It Ends With Us.”

Explosive Allegations

Baldoni’s legal filings include texts and emails that allegedly show Lively calling Swift one of her “dragons.” The filings suggest Swift may have had a deeper role in the movie’s development than she admits.

Swift says she merely showed up to a meeting already in progress and took no part in production or casting. But the legal team painted a different picture, dragging her into a dispute she never expected.

Swift Fights Back

Swift immediately issued a sharp rebuttal: “Taylor Swift never set foot on the set of this movie. She was not involved in casting or creative decisions and did not even see the film until weeks after its release.”

Her only connection? She allowed the film to use her song “My Tears Ricochet.”

Lively’s Team Fires Back

Lively has stayed silent, but her spokesperson attacked Baldoni’s legal tactics. They accused him of turning serious claims into “entertainment for tabloids” and slammed the Swift subpoena as a cheap stunt.

Swift’s friends say she’s furious. “She knew Blake was using her name, but this betrayal crosses the line,” one said. “This is heartbreaking — there’s no coming back from this.”

Fallout from a Legal War

The split shocked Hollywood. Fans once idolized Swift and Lively’s sisterly bond. Now, the duo seems permanently estranged. Swift already pulled away from the friendship and reportedly hired legal counsel to shield herself from further involvement.

The court battle shows no signs of slowing down — and Swift’s role in it may expand.

What’s Next?

Taylor Swift has faced scandals before. But this one stings differently. As courtroom drama unfolds, the world watches — not just for a verdict, but to see how a superstar handles betrayal by someone she once called a best friend.
