Taylor Swift is being pulled into the ongoing legal battle between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni.
The pop superstar may be deposed in Lively’s sexual assault lawsuit against Baldoni — but only if she is “forced” to.
Swift’s attorney said the “Bad Blood” singer “did not agree” to a deposition, according to a Sept. 12 letter to Judge Lewis Liman obtained by Fox News Digital. The letter also stated her team has “consistently maintained that my client [Swift] has no material role in this action.”
The letter said that if the singer “is forced into a deposition,” she will make time during the week of Oct. 20th if the parties are able to work out their disputes.

“We take no role in those disputes,” the letter stated.
Baldoni’s legal team filed a letter on Sept. 11, stating that Swift had agreed to sit down for a deposition between Oct. 20 and Oct. 25, according to Variety.

“In this latest effort, the Wayfarer Defendants assert—though, notably, without evidence—that Ms. Swift has supposedly ‘agreed’ to sit for a deposition sometime between October 20-25 (some three weeks after the close of fact discovery in this matter),” Michael Gottlieb, a lawyer for Lively, wrote in the filing. “Yet, even if one were to take the Wayfarer Defendants’ representation at face value, they have not come close to establishing good cause for their requested relief.”
