Swift's law firm claps back at Justin Baldoni's subpoena

Taylor Swift, the billionaire singer and the friend of Blake Lively who got dragged into the

sexual harassment lawsuit

, has dismissed Justin Baldoni’s claims after she was subpoenaed by the ‘

It Ends With Us

’ director and actor. The 36-year-old’s law firm,

Venable

, who has been representing her for a decade, slammed back at the Justin Baldoni’s claims by calling it “abuse of discovery process” which is purely meant to distract the direction off the case.

What did Taylor Swift's law firm say?

“Venable had nothing to do with the film at issue or any of the claims or defenses asserted in the underlying lawsuit,” the firm wrote in the motion, according to Billboard. “There is no reason for this

subpoena

other than to distract from the facts of the case and impose undue burden and expense on a non-party,” they added.

Other than being mentioned in one of the Taylor’s lyrics, April 29 is also the day when Justin Baldoni’s lawyers subpoenaed the singer, asking for the communication between Swift and Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and the couple’s attorney. Venable stated that the documents should have been asked from the people involved in the case in the first place - Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds.

Taylor Swift's spokesperson argued...

Previously, Swift’s spokesperson dismissed the subpoena by stating that she had nothing to do with the ‘It Ends With Us’ film, and only signed a contract for the song - ‘My Tears Ricochet.’ “Taylor Swift never set foot on the set of this movie, she was not involved in any casting or creative decisions, she did not score the film, she never saw an edit or made any notes on the film,” the spokesperson said, adding that her connection was simply limited to the licensing of ‘

My Tears Ricochet

,’” they said. The trial of Lively vs Baldoni is headed for March 2026.
