Blake Lively‘s ongoing legal drama with her co-star Justin Baldoni has taken an intriguing turn with rumors suggesting that Taylor Swift, Lively’s close friend, might be drawn into the case. A source hinted to People that “anyone who had any knowledge of this situation will be subpoenaed,” regardless of their celebrity status, implying the pop star could be subpoenaed. Swift and Lively share a longstanding friendship, frequently appearing together at public events like the Super Bowl and attending private gatherings, underscoring their close bond.
Throughout their friendship, Swift has been notably involved in Lively’s life; she is the godmother of Lively and Ryan Reynolds‘ four children. Notably, Swift even named a song after their daughter, Betty. Despite these connections, another source contradicted the rumor, stating Swift is “not privy to anything going on.” The legal proceedings have set the Hollywood grapevine abuzz, with speculation of other potential subpoenas, including from Hugh Jackman, a friend and co-star of Reynolds, though this too remains under debate.
This unfolding situation exploded into the public eye when a series of text messages between Lively and Baldoni surfaced amidst Baldoni’s ongoing lawsuit. CNN reported that Lively’s message intriguingly referenced Game of Thrones, likening herself to Khaleesi and referring fondly to her close network, believed to include Swift and Reynolds, as her “dragons.” The text adds a layer of narrative drama, with Lively asserting, “If you ever get around to watching Game of Thrones, you’ll appreciate that I’m Khaleesi, and like her, I happen to have a few dragons… we all benefit from those gorgeous monsters of mine. You will too, I can promise you,” while Baldoni’s response mentioned “Ryan” and “Taylor” directly.
As the trial date set for March 2026 approaches, the involvement of high-profile names like Taylor Swift could add significant public attention and complexity to the case. The unfolding legal battle captures the interest of many, leaving fans and onlookers alike to wonder how these developments will influence the dynamics within this inner celebrity circle and affect the proceedings. As Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni navigate this challenging legal terrain, the potential ripple effects on friendships and the public’s fascination continue to mount.
