GOSSIP & RUMORS: Taylor Swift could be forced to sit for deposition in Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni legal battle

More bad blood could be spilled.

Taylor Swift could be forced to dish about former bestie Blake Lively as the actress continues to duke it out with Justin Baldoni — a move that could give his side a boost, according to court docs obtained by The Post Friday.

Baldoni’s lawyers claimed the mega pop star — who’d been friends with the “This Ends With Us” star since 2015 before their recent fallout — agreed to be deposed by his team, according to Manhattan federal court papers filed Thursday.

But the “Bad Blood” singer’s lawyer, Douglas Baldridge, clarified in a letter to the court Friday that Swift “did not agree to a deposition,” but merely provided dates she would be available — in case Baldoni won a judge’s order enforcing the subpoena. 

Swift — whose new album “The Life of a Showgirl” is scheduled to drop Oct. 3 — won’t be free until the week of October 20, according to the letter, Baldridge added.

A judge has yet to rule on whether Swift will have to testify.

The 14-time Grammy winner — who is the godmother to Lively and her “Deadpool” actor hubby Ryan Reynolds’ daughters — was first dragged into the ugly legal battle between the feuding co-stars in May when Baldoni’s side first sought to depose the singer. 

Baldoni claimed in his since-dismissed suit against Lively that Swift was present for his pivotal meeting with the former “Gossip Girl” star at the NYC penthouse she shares with Reynolds about allegedly rewriting the infamous rooftop scene from the film.

But Baldridge fired back in the Friday letter: “As counsel for the parties know, since the inception of this matter we have consistently maintained that [Swift] has no material role in this action.”

The “A Simple Favor” star, 38, first sued Baldoni in December 2024, claiming he sexually harassed her while filming “It Ends With Us.” Lively also accused him of spearheading a smear campaign against her.

Baldoni, 41, meanwhile, denied the allegations and countersued Lively, Reynolds, their publicist Leslie Sloane and Sloane’s PR firm Vision PR Inc. for $400 million in January.

The “Jane the Virgin” alum accused his co-star Lively of defamation and extortion.

Baldoni then claimed Lively called Reynolds, 48, and Swift, 35, her “dragons” and referred to herself as Khaleesi from “Game of Thrones” in an alleged text conversation.

Baldoni and the film’s production company Wayfarer Studios LLC “requested an agreement solely to take the deposition of Taylor Swift during the week of October 20-25 due to Ms. Swift’s pre-existing professional obligations,” Baldoni’s Sept. 11 filing stated, noting Swift “agreed to appear” but is “unable to do so before October 20.”

Lively’s side is fighting Baldoni’s request to depose Swift since it will delay the case schedule and since he had plenty of time to schedule her deposition before the discovery deadline.

“In this latest effort, the Wayfarer Defendants assert—though, notably, without evidence—that Ms. Swift has supposedly ‘agreed’ to sit for a deposition sometime between October 20-25 (some three weeks after the close of fact discovery in this matter),” the court docs read.

“Yet, even if one were to take the Wayfarer Defendants’ representation at face value, they have not come close to establishing good cause for their requested relief.”

The Post reached out to reps for Swift, Baldoni and Lively.

Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, previously filed a letter to Manhattan federal Judge Lewis J. Liman, claiming he was told by an anonymous source that Lively’s attorney, Michael Gottlieb, allegedly threatened to release Swift’s text messages if she didn’t publicly support the actress.

Gottlieb denied the allegations — and the judge granted Lively’s motion to strike the letter, calling Freedman’s filing “improper” and “irrelevant” in the order obtained by The Post.

Lively has denied all the allegations against her.

An insider told People Lively and Swift’s “friendship has halted,” after Baldoni’s subpoena. “Taylor wants no part in this drama.”

However, Baldoni’s legal team dropped the subpoena that same month after a representative for Swift denied she had any involvement.

“Taylor 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 ‘It Ends With Us’ until weeks after its public release, and was traveling around the globe during 2023 and 2024 headlining the biggest tour in history,” the rep told The Post in response to the original subpoena.

A month later, reports surfaced that Swift was allegedly “done” with Lively.

Swift was reportedly “ignoring” all calls, texts and emails from her former bestie.

“Even though Taylor has totally cut ties with her, Blake hasn’t with Taylor,” a source told Daily Mail at the time.

Lively’s attempts to contact Swift have reportedly gone unanswered.

“She’s been reaching out to her with texts, voicemails and even emails begging to mend what they once had. Blake isn’t giving up on trying to get her friendship with Taylor back on track,” the insider added. “Taylor hasn’t responded to any of Blake’s pleas. She’s ignored all her groveling excuses. The missives explain there must be some misunderstanding on Taylor’s part and that she would never do anything to harm their ten years of closeness and personal secrets.”

The source explained that Swift is icing Lively out because she feels “betrayed” and “exploited.”

“Taylor obviously still means so much to Blake, but Taylor’s totally done with her and as of right now, no requests will mend their bond as far as she’s concerned.”

Lively and Baldoni’s trial is set to kick off in March 2026.
