What was meant to be a heartfelt and powerful big-screen adaptation of Colleen Hoover's book It Ends With Us took an unsettling turn. The film starring Blake Lively is now tangled in a real-life legal storm, and the drama has continued to get bigger with every new update. Now, Grammy-winning artist Taylor Swift has also been pulled into the drama after her alleged private chats with Lively were revealed. 

While the controversial texts get traction on social media, fans are wondering if this can land the singer into the legal case as witness.

What initially seemed to be a clash over creative differences turned serious when Blake Lively filed a complaint with the California Department of Civil Rights against Justin Baldoni. As the legal battle grows louder and messier, Taylor Swift’s name has also been pulled into the noise after the alleged leaked chats. These alleged texts are reportedly being used in court as evidence.

This, however, does not mean that Taylor Swift is headed to court, and her direct involvement in the legal case is highly unlikely.

  “It would be next to impossible to serve Taylor with a summons, and the text messages speak for themselves, so they won’t need her as a witness,” a source from Justin Baldoni's legal team told TMZ.  

Early reports claimed that the singer would be called as a witness but sources close to director Justin Baldoni’s legal team pointed out major challenges to TMZ, explaining that summoning Swift would be extraordinarily difficult.

  As of now, these messages between Swift and Blake Lively are reportedly being used to get context around relationships and timelines.

The messages have inspired plenty of interpretation and very little quotation; before the theories multiply, it helps to look at the alleged texts themselves.

In her case, Blake Lively accused the director of It Ends WIth US director, Justin Baldoni, of alleged se------ inappropriate behavior and a digital smear campaign to damage her reputation. Now, in the alleged texts between Taylor Swift and Lively, the singer reportedly criticized the creative authority of Justin Baldoni. 

“I think this b---- knows something is coming because he’s gotten out his tiny violin,” Swift wrote in a text in December 2024. 

The director was allegedly called "Doofus director" and a "clown" in the texts. 

There are also reportedly mentions of Swift’s song being used in the movie and other details, which led to further criticism of Baldoni's creative authority. Whether or not the singer is ever formally drawn into the matter, the texts have already done their work online, fueling discourse that shows no particular interest in ending, only in evolving.
