Baldoni\u2019s since-dismissed countersuit<\/a>.\n <\/p>\n\n One of the text messages included in Baldoni\u2019s suit appears to show an exchange between Baldoni and Lively about the script for the film: \u201cI really love what you did. It really does help a lot. Makes it so much more fun and interesting. (And I would have felt that way without Ryan and Taylor),\u201d Baldoni wrote with a wink emoji. \u201cYou really are a talent across the board. Really excited and grateful to do this together.\u201d\n <\/p>\n
\n Swift received a subpeona in the case in May.\n <\/p>\n
\n \u201cTaylor 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, she did not even see \u2018It Ends With Us\u2019 until weeks after its public release, and was traveling around the globe during 2023 and 2024,\u201d a spokesperson for Swift said at the time.\n <\/p>\n
\n \u201cThe connection Taylor had to this film was permitting the use of one song, \u2018My Tears Ricochet.\u2019 Given that her involvement was licensing a song for the film, which 19 other artists also did, this document subpoena is designed to use Taylor Swift\u2019s name to draw public interest by creating tabloid clickbait instead of focusing on the facts of the case,\u201d the spokesperson added.\n <\/p>\n
\n Trial in the case is set for next spring in federal court in New York.\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
