The summons came from his persistent feud with Lively, which revolves around allegations of sexual harassment, retaliation and defamation in connection with the filming of your film It ends with us.

When the application for the summons was issued for the first time, he named Swift as a witness and claimed that the pop star was present for discussions between Lively and Baldoni about a scene at the beginning of the film.

It was said that Lively Baldoni invited to her residence in New York City to talk about possible screenplay changes, and Baldoni was surprised to see that Swift and Lively's husband Ryan Reynolds were there too. He claims that Swift and Reynolds approved the proposed version of the LIVELY scene in question and put him under pressure to accept the revisions.

“This document pre -charging is designed in such a way that you use the name of Taylor Swift to arouse the public interest by creating boulevard clickbait instead of concentrating on the facts of the case,” added Swift team at this time.
