Swift’s defense responds
However, Swift’s team responded firmlydenying any significant implication of the singer in the film project beyond the authorization of the use of one of her songs.
A Taylor spokesman declared TMZ:
“Taylor Swift never set foot on the set of this movie, did not participate in casting or creative decisions, did not compose the music, did not see any assembly or comment on the edition. In fact, it did not even see it ends with us until weeks after its public premiere, since it was worldwide for 2023 and 2024 leading the biggest tour in the story.”
In addition, the spokesman added:
“Taylor’s only connection with this movie was to allow the use of a song, ‘My Tears Ricochet’. Considering that 19 more artists also granted licenses of their songs, this judicial citation is an attempt to attract media attention using its name as a bait of clicks, instead of focusing on the facts of the case.”

In that context, Lively would have sent a Text message A Baldoni compared to Khaleesi, the Queen of Dragons of Game of Thrones, and referring to Taylor and Ryan as his “protective dragons”:
“If one day you see Game of Thrones, you will understand that I am Khaleesi and, like her, I have a couple of dragons. For better or worse, but usually for good. Because my dragons also protect those for whom I fight. So we all benefit from my beautiful monsters. You will do it too, I promise you.”
The dispute between Lively and Baldoni arose as a result of Creative differences during the filming of the filmespecially for changes in the script that would have generated tensions between the protagonists and the production team.
For now, it is not clear if Taylor Swift will officially declare before the court. His team insists that the citation is unnecessary and unjustified, while Baldoni’s defense considers it key to supporting its version.
