Taylor Swift was not involved in the production of “It Ends With Us,” despite her name being mentioned in Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s ongoing legal saga, according to multiple sources. The pop star, who has been friends with Lively since 2015, was not a producer on the film and had no creative involvement, the sources revealed.
Speculation about Swift’s involvement arose when Lively asked for permission to use Swift’s song “My Tears Ricochet” in the trailer for the movie. However, Swift was on tour during the movie’s production in 2024 and only saw the film after it was released in theaters. Therefore, she is not relevant to the case and dragging her into it is unnecessary, according to insiders.
Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni in December 2024, accusing him of sexual harassment and fostering a hostile work environment during the making of “It Ends With Us.” In response, Baldoni denied the accusations and filed defamation suits against Lively and others for a total of $650 million. The legal battle is ongoing, with a trial date set for March 9, 2026.
Both parties are eager to move forward with the case, with Lively’s team confident in their evidence and Baldoni’s team determined to prove their innocence. The judge has warned against prejudicial statements in the media and emphasized the seriousness of the allegations of sexual harassment and retaliation.
Overall, Taylor Swift’s lack of involvement in the production of “It Ends With Us” has been clarified by sources close to the situation, emphasizing that she was not part of the movie and should not be dragged into the legal battle between Lively and Baldoni. The focus remains on the ongoing legal proceedings and the serious allegations at hand.
