Recent court documents related to the ‘It Ends With Us’ case have shed light on text exchanges between Blake Lively and Taylor Swift. These documents were unsealed on January 20, ahead of the summary judgment hearing set for January 22.
Details of the Case
In the ongoing legal situation, Justin Baldoni, the actor and director of ‘It Ends With Us,’ claims that Taylor Swift was influential during meetings concerning script rewrites. Baldoni’s team suggests that Swift pressured him to accept changes advocated by Lively.
Taylor Swift’s Response
Swift’s representative firmly denied any involvement in the movie’s production. They stated in May 2025 that the artist did not participate in casting, creative decisions, or film editing. Furthermore, Swift reportedly did not view ‘It Ends With Us’ until weeks after its official release, having been occupied with her extensive world tour during 2023 and 2024.
Involvement with the Soundtrack
Swift’s connection to the film was primarily through her song “My Tears Ricochet.” The representative criticized Baldoni’s team for allegedly exploiting Swift’s name to generate media attention rather than focusing on the substantive legal issues at play.
