Swift will reportedly provide testimony and evidence under oath following the new album\u2019s release on October 3. This would mean her unwilling involvement in the case continues.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Additionally, the filings revealed that Baldoni\u2019s team opposed a motion imposing a deadline for evidence gathering. They implied that their 30-day extension request was to delay the Grammy Winner\u2019s participation in the deposition until \u201cthe week of October 20-25\u201d due to her \u201cpreexisting professional obligations.\u201d Reportedly, her and Lively\u2019s text messages could possibly be central to her involvement in the forthcoming proceedings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Baldoni had previously sought communications between Swift and Lively in his bid to secure evidence concerning the legal battle. He had alleged that their messages could disprove claims Lively made in her December 2024 lawsuit against him, which triggered the courtroom drama. Earlier this year, a judge\u00a0reportedly\u00a0ruled in Baldoni\u2019s favor that he could access texts pertaining to \u201cIt Ends With Us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Before this, the director had issued separate subpoenas to Swift and her lawyers at Venable, seeking communications. His team later withdrew the subpoenas amid her and her lawyers\u2019 efforts to squash his moves, with\u00a0reports\u00a0suggesting that they voluntarily received the information they had been looking for.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The latest update came weeks after Swift and her now-fianc\u00e9, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/article\/travis-kelce-retirement-plans-not-152313114.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Travis Kelce;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Travis Kelce<\/a>, announced their engagement on Instagram.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Originally reported by Nikita Mahato on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\/2025\/09\/12\/taylor-swift-testify-blake-lively-justin-baldoni-legal-battle-deposition\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Reality Tea;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Reality Tea<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mandatory.com\/news\/1661108-taylor-swift-testify-blake-lively-justin-baldoni-legal-battle-deposition\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Taylor Swift to Likely Be Deposed in Blake Lively &amp; Justin Baldoni Legal Battle \u2014 Report;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Taylor Swift to Likely Be Deposed in Blake Lively &amp; Justin Baldoni Legal Battle \u2014 Report<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mandatory.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Mandatory;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Taylor Swift\u00a0will likely testify in a deposition in\u00a0Blake Lively\u00a0and\u00a0Justin Baldoni\u2018s legal battle.
