All we kind of know 155 00:08:57,214 --> 00:09:00,094 Speaker 1: is what we've heard about all these text messages being 156 00:09:00,174 --> 00:09:03,894 Speaker 1: leaked where it seems like Justin believes that Taylor Swift 157 00:09:04,214 --> 00:09:07,574 Speaker 1: was kind of brought into back up Blake's creative choices 158 00:09:07,654 --> 00:09:10,214 Speaker 1: on It Ends with Us.

So there's lots of 161 00:09:17,334 --> 00:09:19,654 Speaker 1: bits and pieces that could potentially be brought up. 162 00:09:20,534 --> 00:09:22,974 Speaker 3: What do you think Taylor Swift will actually be able 163 00:09:23,054 --> 00:09:25,774 Speaker 3: to provide to this case? Was she actually ever on 164 00:09:25,974 --> 00:09:28,494 Speaker 3: set during the filming of It Ends with Us? 165 00:09:29,054 --> 00:09:32,254 Speaker 1: No, she wasn't, and her team have made clear she 166 00:09:32,374 --> 00:09:36,014 Speaker 1: was never on set. Taylor's only officially involvement in the 167 00:09:36,094 --> 00:09:39,534 Speaker 1: film was licensing her song Mightys Recochet, which was in 168 00:09:39,574 --> 00:09:41,934 Speaker 1: the movie, and the trailer is she is brought on 169 00:09:42,014 --> 00:09:44,454 Speaker 1: to testify, which isn't clear, but if she is, I 170 00:09:44,494 --> 00:09:47,214 Speaker 1: think there'd be more like what happened away from filming 171 00:09:47,774 --> 00:09:50,334 Speaker 1: and potentially she could be asked about an incident at 172 00:09:50,374 --> 00:09:53,694 Speaker 1: Blake and Ryan's home that Justin's team have claimed Taylor 173 00:09:53,814 --> 00:09:54,534 Speaker 1: was present for. 174 00:09:55,214 --> 00:09:57,134 Speaker 3: Can you tell us a little bit about what that 175 00:09:57,254 --> 00:09:57,974 Speaker 3: incident is? 176 00:09:58,574 --> 00:10:01,694 Speaker 1: So that was the incident where Justin's team claimed that 177 00:10:02,134 --> 00:10:04,654 Speaker 1: he was shown an edit that Blake had put together 178 00:10:05,054 --> 00:10:08,174 Speaker 1: and Taylor and Ryan were there to be like cheerleaders 179 00:10:08,214 --> 00:10:10,894 Speaker 1: for Blake and to back up her edit, which he 180 00:10:11,014 --> 00:10:14,494 Speaker 1: kind of felt a bit pressured by and potentially intimidated 181 00:10:14,534 --> 00:10:16,334 Speaker 1: by someone as big as Taylor Swift. 182 00:10:16,734 --> 00:10:20,254 Speaker 3: What have Taylor's reps said about this? Because I can't 183 00:10:20,294 --> 00:10:22,974 Speaker 3: imagine she's thrilled, being the busy woman that she is, 184 00:10:23,254 --> 00:10:25,494 Speaker 3: to be thrown into some sort of legal chaos. 185 00:10:26,654 --> 00:10:29,854 Speaker 1: Exactly. Yeah, so this is Taylor's team statement, they said. 186 00:10:30,014 --> 00:10:32,734 Speaker 1: Taylor Swift never set foot on the set of this movie. 187 00:10:32,854 --> 00:10:35,774 Speaker 1: She was not involved in any casting or creative decisions. 188 00:10:35,854 --> 00:10:38,054 Speaker 1: She did not score the film. She never saw an 189 00:10:38,134 --> 00:10:40,494 Speaker 1: edit or made any notes on the film. She did 190 00:10:40,534 --> 00:10:42,854 Speaker 1: not even see It Ends with Us until weeks after 191 00:10:42,934 --> 00:10:45,774 Speaker 1: its public release, and was traveling around the globe during 192 00:10:45,814 --> 00:10:49,134 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three and twenty four headlining the biggest tour 193 00:10:49,174 --> 00:10:49,854 Speaker 1: in history. 194 00:10:50,454 --> 00:10:53,014 Speaker 3: She just laugh at that little aside that she gets 195 00:10:53,014 --> 00:10:53,654 Speaker 3: that one in there. 196 00:10:53,854 --> 00:10:56,774 Speaker 1: It's not Taylor Swift without a bit of pr and 197 00:10:56,814 --> 00:11:00,534 Speaker 1: then they continue, given that her involvement was merely licensing 198 00:11:00,534 --> 00:11:03,614 Speaker 1: a song for the film, as did nineteen other artists, 199 00:11:03,854 --> 00:11:06,494 Speaker 1: this subpoena appears to be an attempt to leverage Taylor 200 00:11:06,494 --> 00:11:11,254 Speaker 1: Swift's name to attract public interest, eating tabloids and sacialism 201 00:11:11,334 --> 00:11:14,054 Speaker 1: instead of addressing the actual facts at hand. 202 00:11:14,534 --> 00:11:18,094 Speaker 3: Some fighting words, yeah, some quite fiery passionate words there. 203 00:11:18,094 --> 00:11:20,494 Speaker 3: And it's interesting that last little part they talk about 204 00:11:20,494 --> 00:11:23,774 Speaker 3: of using Taylor Swift's name for advantage and using it 205 00:11:23,814 --> 00:11:26,494 Speaker 3: to drum up headlines and interest and whatnot. Are there 206 00:11:26,534 --> 00:11:30,534 Speaker 3: elements here where it's possible that Justin Baldoni has subpoenaed 207 00:11:30,854 --> 00:11:32,814 Speaker 3: or his team have asked for Taylor Swift to come 208 00:11:32,854 --> 00:11:36,614 Speaker 3: and provide evidence, as almost like a strategic move against 209 00:11:36,694 --> 00:11:37,414 Speaker 3: Blake Lively. 210 00:11:37,774 --> 00:11:40,574 Speaker 1: Yes, I mean, we don't know what happens between Justin 211 00:11:40,574 --> 00:11:44,054 Speaker 1: and his team. This is all speculation, but the timing 212 00:11:44,334 --> 00:11:49,254 Speaker 1: is suspicious because this has followed weeks of reports of 213 00:11:49,294 --> 00:11:53,614 Speaker 1: a rift between Blake and Taylor, which is largely unsubstantiated. 214 00:11:53,894 --> 00:11:56,734 Speaker 1: So Taylor kind of issuing this statement really wanting to 215 00:11:56,774 --> 00:11:59,974 Speaker 1: distance herself from the case has kind of done nothing 216 00:12:00,014 --> 00:12:02,014 Speaker 1: to shut down those rumors that there is a rift 217 00:12:02,054 --> 00:12:05,814 Speaker 1: between the once BFFs. But really, Taylor can't win in 218 00:12:05,894 --> 00:12:09,534 Speaker 1: this situation because it's Justin's team who have subpoened her, 219 00:12:09,934 --> 00:12:12,854 Speaker 1: not Blake's team, So of course she'd be resistant to 220 00:12:12,894 --> 00:12:15,494 Speaker 1: that even if her and Blake were still best friends. 221 00:12:15,774 --> 00:12:17,894 Speaker 1: So it doesn't really matter how she reacts to these 222 00:12:17,894 --> 00:12:19,414 Speaker 1: people are still going to be like, oh, this is 223 00:12:19,454 --> 00:12:21,974 Speaker 1: confirmation that Blake and Taylor are fighting, Tara. 224 00:12:22,054 --> 00:12:22,774 Speaker 3: What happens now? 225 00:12:22,814 --> 00:12:22,974 Speaker 4: Then? 226 00:12:23,174 --> 00:12:25,654 Speaker 3: Will this case actually ever see the inside of a courtroom? 227 00:12:25,654 --> 00:12:27,814 Speaker 3: Will Taylor Swift have her day in court? 228 00:12:28,054 --> 00:12:31,414 Speaker 1: Potentially, as mentioned, she's potentially caught on her witness, but 229 00:12:31,454 --> 00:12:33,894 Speaker 1: she might not have to testify. But it is a 230 00:12:33,934 --> 00:12:37,574 Speaker 1: long journey ahead. We're in May, and the core case 231 00:12:37,614 --> 00:12:40,414 Speaker 1: is not till next year. It's set for March ninth, 232 00:12:40,534 --> 00:12:44,694 Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. So it's the consolidated lawsuits of both 233 00:12:44,774 --> 00:12:47,694 Speaker 1: Blake and Justin. So there's a lot that's happening. There's 234 00:12:47,734 --> 00:12:49,494 Speaker 1: a lot to come, and I'm sure this is not 235 00:12:49,534 --> 00:12:50,534 Speaker 1: the end of the story. 236 00:12:51,134 --> 00:12:53,094 Speaker 3: Thanks for taking the time to feed your mind.
