Taylor Swift will be deposed in Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's case starting on Monday, October 20.

According to a news outlet, on Thursday, September 11, the director's team filed documents revealing the Grammy winner "agreed to be" deposed during the week of Monday, October 20. The date was determined due to the pop star's "preexisting professional obligations," likely referring to the Friday, October 3, debut of her twelfth album, The Life of a Showgirl.

The Gossip Girl alum is suing Baldoni for sexual harassment and accused him of running a smear campaign against her; he countered that she was the one trying to ruin his reputation and take over control of the movie.

Baldoni first subpoenaed Swift in May, claiming her pal Lively used the music artist's influence and power to get her way in the 2024 film regarding script changes.

'It Ends With Us' costars Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni filed lawsuits against each other.

The "Cruel Summer" vocalist's rep initially hit back at the Jane the Virgin star's allegations.

"Taylor Swift never set foot on the set of this movie, she was not involved in any casting or creative decisions, she did not score the film, she never saw an edit or made any notes on the film, she did not even see It Ends With Us until weeks after its public release, and was traveling around the globe during 2023 and 2024 headlining the biggest tour in history," her rep stated.

"The connection Taylor had to this film was permitting the use of one song, ‘My Tears Ricochet.’ Given that her involvement was licensing a song for the film, which 19 other artists also did, this document subpoena is designed to use Taylor Swift’s name to draw public interest by creating tabloid clickbait instead of focusing on the facts of the case," they noted.
