Taylor Swift is notably absent from longtime friend Blake Lively's ongoing legal battle with Justin Baldoni over allegations of sexual harassment during the production of "It Ends With Us." Despite their close friendship, Swift has maintained complete silence on the matter.

The lawsuit, filed by Lively against co-star Baldoni, alleges sexual harassment, while Baldoni counters that these accusations are meant to deflect from production issues. The case is scheduled for trial in 2026.

Swift's silence appears strategic. Currently at her career peak following her billion-dollar tour and high-profile relationship with Travis Kelce, PR experts suggest she's protecting her brand by staying uninvolved.

However, Swift might not maintain this distance for long. Baldoni's lawsuit explicitly names her, citing text messages where Lively refers to Swift and Ryan Reynolds as her "dragons." These messages suggest Swift's potential involvement in key production discussions.

Legal experts note that if subpoenaed, Swift must testify. Entertainment lawyer Tre Lovell emphasizes: "If she's subpoenaed, she can't just refuse to show up. She may be a global superstar, but in court, she's just another witness."

Swift's potential testimony could significantly impact both the case and her carefully maintained public image. Whether defending Lively or maintaining distance, any court appearance would make her an integral part of this legal battle - precisely what she appears to be avoiding.
