Taylor Swift has gotten involved in Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni legal suit, whether she wanted it or not!
On Friday, May 9, PEOPLE reported that the Lover crooner has been subpoenaed as a witness in one of the biggest legal battles in current pop culture world, where the film It End With Us took a centre stage.
A rep for Taylor stressed that the singer has had no close ties with the film except for the usage of her song My Tears Ricochet.
They further added that the order to appear is to create "tabloid clickbait."
Discussing the summon, a rep noted that Taylor had no involvement in any of the decision regarding the film and "she did not even see It Ends With Us until weeks after its public release."
The statement from spokesperson also added that summoning only the Cardigan singer when 19 other artists also licensed their song for the film is just to "use Taylor Swift’s name to draw public interest by creating tabloid clickbait instead of focusing on the facts of the case.
A source close to the case also shared that Hugh Jackman - who is a close friend of Blake's husband Ryan Reynolds - might also be served with a subpoena.
