The Life of a Deposed Girl

Approximately 18 to 24 months from now, it’s possible that Taylor Swift could release a song titled “Order in the Court,” which might subtly and sarcastically touch upon her involvement in the legal dispute between director/star Justin Baldoni of “It Ends With Us” and her former friend Blake Lively. For now, we can only speculate based on media reports, as Baldoni’s team has formally requested Swift to testify before the trial scheduled for March 2026, at which she would be asked about any conversations she had with Lively regarding set conditions on “It Ends With Us.

Swift’s legal team has stated that she has not yet consented to testify, but if called upon, she would arrange it for the week of October 20th. In a court document submitted to Billboard, attorney Baldridge wrote: “My client has not agreed to a deposition, but if compelled, we suggest (after learning about the deposition only three days ago) that her schedule could accommodate the necessary time during the week of October 20th if the parties can resolve their differences.

Initially, Lively’s legal representatives aimed to keep Swift out of the case, but Baldoni’s attorneys successfully requested and received court approval to access their correspondence. Regarding the showgirl in question, Baldoni’s team has petitioned for an extension so that Swift can be questioned under oath between October 20th and 25th due to her prior work commitments – likely related to the release of her album, which is expected to have everyone acting quite normally. Given that this legal drama unfolds just weeks before Swift’s October 3rd album release, The Life of a Showgirl, it must be frustrating for her, especially since she has worked diligently to steer clear of this situation. However, perhaps Swift can use a deposition trip to New York as an opportunity to dine at one of her favorite West Village restaurants or even host Saturday Night Live.
