Summary

Venable, Taylor Swift's lawyers, have opposed Justin Baldoni's subpoena in the Blake Lively case, citing its issuance without cause and aiming to divert attention from her legal battle with Lively. The firm argues that the subpoena included communications between Swift and her ex-husband Reynolds, which should not have been shared as neither participated in the case. A spokesperson for Swift confirmed she was only licensed one song in the film and denied using her name or status for tabloid purposes. If the subpoena stands, it could subject non-participants to unnecessary legal burdens.
