“The connection that Taylor had to this film allowed the use of a song, 'My Tears Ricochet',” continued her representative in the statement. “In view of the fact that your participation was to licens a song for the film that 19 other artists have also done, this document pre -load 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.”

The LIVELY spokesman also spoke about the summons in a statement on May 9th and claimed that Baldoni's legal team had converted the case into “Entertainment for the Boulevardzeitung”.

“This is a very serious legal issue, not the circus of Barnum & Baileys. The accused continue to complain publicly, shame, ashamed and attack the rights and reputation of women,” said the actress's representative.

A source previously told people that Hugh Jackman had also issued a summons together with Swift. “Anyone who had knowledge of this situation will be charged, regardless of their celebrity status,” said the source.
