Taylor Swift is set to give evidence in Blake Lively and Justin Baldoniās legal battle, according to court docs filed by Baldoniās lawyer.
The document, which was obtained by Page Six on Friday, claimed the singer āagreedā to be deposed as long as the judge extended the deadline for her testimony to take place.

Baldoniās lawyer Ellyn S. Garofalo claimed the deposition would need to happen āduring the week of October 20-25 due to Ms. Swiftās preexisting professional obligations.ā
The Grammy winner, whoseĀ āThe Life of a Showgirlā album comes outĀ on Oct. 3, would be āunable to do soā beforehand, Baldoniās team alleged.
Swiftās lawyers, however, denied Swift had agreed to any such thing in a letter to Judge Lewis J. Liman on Friday.
āMy client did not agree to a deposition,ā their statement read. āBut if she is forced into a deposition, we advised (after first hearing about the deposition just three days ago) that her schedule would accommodate the time required during the week of October 20.ā

Swift will be available for deposition beginning Oct. 20, the filing claimed.MEGA

Livelyās lawyers also pushed back in a new filing obtained by Page Six Friday, casting doubt on whether the āCruel Summerā crooner actually greed to be deposed ā and arguing that Baldoniās team had ample time to arrange a time to depose Swift prior to the discovery deadline.
āIn this latest effort, the Wayfarer Defendants assert ā though, notably, without evidence ā that
Ms. Swift has supposedly āagreedā to sit for a deposition sometime between October 20-25 (some three
weeks after the close of fact discovery in this matter),ā the court docs stated.
āYet, even if one were to take the Wayfarer Defendantsā representation at face value, they have not come close to establishing good cause for their requested relief.ā
Reps for Swift and Baldoni did not immediately respond to Page Sixās requests for comment.
Swift was firstĀ dragged intoĀ palĀ Livelyās legal warĀ when Baldoni, 41,Ā referenced the pop starĀ in his January lawsuit, accusing his āIt Ends With Usā co-star of defamation and extortion.

Baldoni filed on the heels of LivelyĀ suing him for alleged sexual harassment, retaliation, breach of contract, infliction of emotional distress, invasion of privacy and lost wages.
He alleged in his filing that Lively referred to her and husband Ryan Reynolds as ādragonsā who protect her in creative battles.
We heard this made the āBad Bloodā singerĀ feel āusedāĀ and she didnāt āappreciate being referred toā in that way.
When Swift wasĀ subpoenaed as a witnessĀ in May, the songwriterās rep hit back at the idea that Swift had anything to do with the August 2024 filmās controversy besides āpermitting the use of one song, āMy Tears Ricochet.’ā
The spokesperson pointed out, āTaylor Swift never set foot on the set of this movie, she was not involved in any casting or creative decisions, she did not score the film, she never saw an edit or made any notes on the film, she did not even see āIt Ends With Usā until weeks after its public release.ā
TheĀ subpoena was droppedĀ later that same month.

Additionally, a judgeĀ threw out Baldoniās lawsuitĀ in June ā although his and Livelyās drama rages on with the āGossip Girlā alumās lawsuit.
Baldoni, most recently, wasĀ hit with new harassment claimsĀ by an unnamed individual about alleged ārepeated, negative interactionsā and āverbal abuse.ā Reps for Baldoni did not respond to Page Sixās request for comment on the new allegations.
The scandal has reportedlyĀ taken a toll on Swift and Livelyās friendship, with the Daily Mail claiming the āShallowsā actressĀ did not reach outĀ to congratulate the bride-to-be on herĀ engagement to Travis Kelce.
ā[She] isnāt going to,ā the insider alleged, explaining that Lively has ābigger fish to fry.ā

The summons was subsequently dropped, with Baldoniās lawsuit tossed in June.GC Images

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 35,Ā got down on one kneeĀ in August, immediately afterĀ filming Swiftās podcast debutĀ on his and Jason Kelceās āNew Heightsā show.
The couple haveĀ been together since 2023Ā andĀ made headlinesĀ forĀ multiple double datesĀ with Lively and Reynolds, 48, the following year.
Livelyās friendship with Swift began in 2015.
