Are Taylor Swift and Hugh Jackman ready for it?
Blake Lively’s pals will reportedly be subpoenaed in the actress’s legal war with her “It Ends With Us” co-star Justin Baldoni.
Swift, 35, and Jackman, 56, will “definitely be served this week,” a source told the Daily Mail Tuesday.

“It could happen at any time,” the insider alleged, claiming that the “Don’t Blame Me” singer has been “waiting.”
Reps for Swift and Jackman have yet to respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.
Lively’s battle with Baldoni, 41, began in December 2024 when she sued the actor for emotional distress and lost wages.

He returned the favor the following month, suing Lively, 37, and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, for $400 million in January.
At the time, Baldoni pulled Swift into headlines by claiming Lively weaponized her friendship with Swift while allegedly trying to control their 2024 film’s production.
The “Jane the Virgin” alum alleged, in a complaint obtained by Page Six, that one of Lively’s “famous and, famously close” friends praised one of Lively’s script rewrites when he was invited to her and Reynolds’ New York City penthouse.

While he did not name Swift, she was referenced in a text about that evening.
“I really love what you did. It really does help a lot,” he wrote of the “rooftop scene” in question. “Makes it so much more fun and interesting. (And I would have felt that way without Ryan or Taylor).”
In her response, Lively called Swift and Reynolds her “creative barometers” and “dragons” she was “lucky” to have in her corner.
Baldoni’s attorney claimed the “Man Enough” podcast host “felt obliged to text Lively to say that he had liked her pages and hadn’t needed Reynolds and her megacelebrity friend to pressure him.”

Byran Freedman alleged, “The message could not have been clearer. Baldoni was not just dealing with Lively. He was also facing Lively’s ‘dragons,’ two of the most influential and wealthy celebrities in the world, who were not afraid to make things very difficult for him.”
Baldoni’s lawyer teased possibly deposing Swift in a February statement, calling that potential a “game-time decision.”
Lively, who has denied Baldoni’s extortion and defamation claims as a tactic from the “abuser playbook,” has been friends with Swift since 2015 — and the duo attended an NFL game together in 2023, alongside Jackman.
Jackman notably is close friends with Lively and Reynolds, even with the latter last year.

As for where their friendship stands now, Page Six hears that Swift “can’t help but feel used” by Lively.
However, a source told us in March that the songwriter “is a strong woman” who is “not afraid” of being dragged into the legal spat.
Lively has since given a “genuine and heartfelt” apology, another insider claimed earlier this month, while Swift is reportedly “ready to move forward” without any “hard feelings.”
