Taylor Swift, Ryan Reynolds could testify in Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni trial….Read More

Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively’s legal drama is headed to court in 2026, and A-list stars such as Taylor Swift and Ryan Reynolds could find themselves in the hot seat.

Anyone who witnessed something “that goes to the heart of either lawsuit” might be “compelled” to testify, legal experts told Fox News Digital. Reynolds is named as a defendant in Baldoni’s lawsuit alongside his wife, while Swift is mentioned in the filing. Baldoni’s lawsuit followed Lively’s own, where she accused the actor of sexual harassment while filming “It Ends with Us.” However, Baldoni insisted Lively “falsely” accused him in an attempt to repair her reputation following the fallout around the movie’s press tour after she took control of the film.

“According to Justin Baldoni’s complaint, [Taylor Swift] may have been present for conversation where Baldoni alleges Lively was pressuring him to accept her re-writes of a particular scene,” Fox News legal editor Kerri Urbahn explained.

“And, Lively, in the now infamous text released by Baldoni, has sparked widespread speculation she was referring to Taylor Swift when she told Baldoni she had ‘dragons’ protecting her. Not sure how well ‘Subpoenaed Dragon’ would do as a song title, but given the lawfare that’s going on between the two parties, we may be headed in that direction.”

Fox News Digital reached out to representatives for Baldoni, Lively, Reynolds and Swift for comment.

Baldoni mentioned Swift in the lawsuit while attempting to show Lively taking control of the film set. According to the “Jane the Virgin” star, Lively rewrote the rooftop scene from the film and allegedly used her friendship with Swift to threaten him.

“Later, Baldoni felt obliged to text Lively to say that he had liked her pages and hadn’t needed Reynolds and her megacelebrity friend to pressure him,” the complaint said.

“Lively, in the now infamous text released by Baldoni, has sparked widespread speculation she was referring to Taylor Swift when she told Baldoni she had ‘dragons’ protecting her. Not sure how well ‘Subpoenaed Dragon’ would do as a song title, but given the lawfare that’s going on between the two parties, we may be headed in that direction.”

“… I really love what you did. It really does help a lot. Makes it so much more fun and interesting. (And I would have felt that way without Ryan and Taylor [emoji] You really are a talent across the board. Really excited nd [sic] grateful to do this together,” Baldoni’s text read, according to the lawsuit.

Lively shared a lengthy response, in which she seemingly referred to Swift and Reynolds as “dragons” who protect her. “Both Ryan and [redacted] have established themselves as absolute titans as writers and storytellers outside of their primary gig – just singing or just acting or [redacted] just directing. I’m so lucky to have them as creative barometers,” Lively’s text, included in the complaint, read. “But also to have them as people who prop me up and make sure I’m seen for all I can, and do offer. Because they know firsthand all I contribute. They also know I’m not always as good at making sure I’m seen and utilized for fear of threatening egos, or fear of affecting the ease of the process. They don’t give a s— about that. And because of that, everyone listens to them with immense respect and enthusiasm. So I guess I have to stop worrying about people liking me.”
