According to TMZ, Baldoni\u2019s legal team issued the subpoena, identifying Swift as a potential witness in the case. The move follows earlier claims that a \u201cmega-celebrity friend\u201d influenced decisions on the film\u2019s se- many have speculated Baldoni was referring to Swift.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-legal-team-fires-back\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Legal Team Fires Back<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2277203\" src=\"https:\/\/www.totalprosports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Taylor-Swift-1024x563.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.totalprosports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Taylor-Swift-150x83.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.totalprosports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Taylor-Swift-595x327.jpg 595w, https:\/\/www.totalprosports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Taylor-Swift-768x422.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.totalprosports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Taylor-Swift-1024x563.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.totalprosports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Taylor-Swift-1536x845.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.totalprosports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Taylor-Swift.jpg 2000w\" alt=\"Chiefs Fans Furious Over Taylor Swift's Apparent Disrespect\" width=\"1024\" height=\"563\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Taylor Swift (Photo By Mark J.

In late January, reports revealed Swift had quietly distanced herself from Lively. Now, the subpoena risks pulling her deeper into the avoided conflict.<\/p>\n<p>Swift\u2019s only tie to the film was allowing the use of her song \u201cMy Tears Ricochet.\u201d Her team emphasized that 19 other artists also licensed music for the project, pointing to what they describe as a publicity stunt.\u00a0<strong><em>\u201cThis document subpoena is designed to use Taylor Swift\u2019s name to draw public interest by creating tabloid clickbait instead of focusing on the facts of the case,\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>her spokesperson added.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"mai-link-injected\" href=\"https:\/\/www.totalprosports.com\/tag\/travis-kelce\/\">Travis Kelce<\/a>, Swift\u2019s boyfriend and\u00a0<a class=\"mai-link-injected\" href=\"https:\/\/www.totalprosports.com\/nfl\/kansas-city-chiefs\/\">Kansas City Chiefs<\/a>\u00a0star, has remained silent.
