Taylor Swift, Hugh Jackman set to be subpoenaed in Blake Lively’s legal war with Justin Baldoni: report

The stars will reportedly both “definitely be served”, dragging them into the legal war between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni.

Taylor Swift and Hugh Jackman are reportedly preparing to be dragged into Blake Lively’s legal war with Justin Baldoni.

Swift, 35, and Jackman, 56, are set to be subpoenaed and will “definitely be served this week”, according to the Daily Mail.

“It could happen at any time,” a source told the publication.

The inclusion of the two megastars would certainly add even more attention to the high-profile battle between the It Ends With Us co-stars, which began in December when Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni for emotional distress and lost wages.

A month later, Baldoni returned serve, suing Lively – as well as her husband, Ryan Reynolds – for US$400 million ($A623 million).

Swift, who is a close friend of Lively and Reynolds and even godmother to one of their children, was later pulled into the drama by Baldoni, who claimed his co-star had weaponised her friendship with the singer to try and leverage creative control of their film, which he was directing.

At the time, Page Six reported that his complaint referenced how one of Lively’s “famous, and famously close” friends had been at her and Reynolds’ NYC home when he was invited over one evening.

He claimed that the celebrity in question had praised Lively’s script rewrites to him, referencing the “rooftop scene” where the main characters first meet.

“I really love what you did. It really does help a lot,” Baldoni wrote in a text written about their meeting.

“Makes it so much more fun and interesting. (And I would have felt that way without Ryan or Taylor).”

Lively then responded, calling Swift and Reynolds her “creative barometers” and “dragons”.

“The message could not have been clearer. Baldoni was not just dealing with Lively. He was also facing Lively’s ‘dragons,’ two of the most influential and wealthy celebrities in the world, who were not afraid to make things very difficult for him,” Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, alleged.

It was reported earlier this year that Swift wasn’t thrilled to have been dragged into the drama, with Page Six citing a source claiming the singer “can’t help but feel used” by Lively.

It’s since been claimed that Lively reached out to apologise to her longtime friend for her involvement in the situation, with an insider claiming “it was never her intention to hurt Taylor or cause any harm to their friendship” and she was hoping to “put this whole thing behind them”.

For her part, the source added that Swift “appreciated” the apology and “is ready to move forward”.

Meanwhile, Jackman is close friends with Reynolds and even co-starred with him in Deadpool & Wolverine last year.
