Summary

Both Baldoni and Lively maintain their positions, with the trial set for March 2026. Swift’s subpoena was criticized as a publicity tactic, with her team clarifying her only involvement was licensing a song for the film. The ongoing disputes are marked by allegations of defamation and a campaign to damage Lively's reputation.
Perspectives
A subpoena has been issued for Taylor Swift in the legal case between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, with Swift's spokesperson stating this is an attempt to leverage her name for public interest rather than focus on case facts.
