His production company fired back with a now-dismissed $400 million defamation lawsuit against Lively, her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and her longtime publicist, Leslie Sloane.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The court filings dragged Swift into the fray, thanks to text exchanges where Lively referred to the singer as one of her \u201cdragons,\u201d even likening herself to Khaleesi from &#8220;Game of Thrones.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Another bombshell claim alleged that Swift attended a script meeting at Lively\u2019s New York penthouse. Sources close to the singer insisted she did not know of such a gathering.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Swift was subpoenaed in May 2025, prompting her team to issue a rare statement, \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 It Ends With Us until weeks after its public release, and was traveling around the globe during 2023 and 2024 headlining the biggest tour in history.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The statement added, \u201cGiven 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&#8217;s name to draw public interest by creating tabloid clickbait instead of focusing on the facts of the case.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Weeks later, Baldoni\u2019s legal team withdrew the subpoena, and in September, a judge ruled Swift would not be deposed before the March 2026 trial.
