Taylor Swift has been subpoenaed by Justin Baldoni’s lawyers within the sprawling legal battle over the filming of It Ends With Us.
Swift’s involvement within the dueling lawsuits pertains to suggestions from Blake Vigorous that Baldoni altered a rooftop scene initially of the film. Vigorous invited the director to her Latest York City home in 2023 to debate the script changes.
Once there, Baldoni was surprised to see Vigorous’s husband, Ryan Reynolds, and shut friend, Swift, in line with his lawsuit, which cites communications that include the name “Taylor.” The megastars praise Vigorous’s version of the scene, pressuring Baldoni to simply accept the revisions, he alleged.
In a text, Vigorous refers to Reynolds and Swift as her “dragons.” The message reads, “For those who ever get around to watching Game of Thrones, you’ll appreciate that I’m Khaleesi, and like her, I occur to have a number of dragons. For higher or worse, but often higher. Because my dragons also protect those I fight for.”
Baldoni was supportive of the changes. “I actually love what you probably did. It really does help lots. Makes it so far more fun and interesting. (And I’d have felt that way without Ryan and Taylor),” he wrote with a wink emoji. “You actually are a talent across the board. Really excited and grateful to do that together.”
Tensions over the rewrite lead Baldoni to send Vigorous a six-minute-plus voice message at 2 a.m. to apologize for anything he did to upset her, in line with the criticism. At the top of the recording, Baldoni says, “You almost certainly have kids throughout you and a baby in your boob, and also you’re listening to me ramble at 2 within the morning.”
A spokesperson for Swift said the subpoena is a bid to “draw public interest by creating tabloid clickbait as an alternative of specializing in the facts of the case.” The rep, who noted that the one connection the singer has with the film is permitting the usage of “My Tears Ricochet,” added “Taylor Swift never set foot on the set of this movie, she was not involved in any casting or creative decisions, she didn’t rating the film, she never saw an edit or made any notes on the film, she didn’t even see It Ends With Us until weeks after its public release, and was traveling across the globe during 2023 and 2024 headlining the largest tour in history.”
Vigorous and Baldoni didn’t immediately reply to requests for comment.
