BREAKING NEWS!! 🔥 SUBPOENA BOMBSHELL: Taylor SLAMS "tabloid clickbait" legal summons in blistering statement!

0:03 Calarugashawk Media, Kay Swifties, Welcome back to Taylor Swift Today. I'm your host, Ali, and we have breaking news to start today's episode. Taylor has just been officially subpoened in the Blake Lively Justin Baldoni legal battle. Plus we've got updates on the met Gala copyright lawsuits and that Cape Cod mansion. So much to cover, Let's dive right in first the breaking news that just dropped. Taylor has been officially served with a subpoena as a witness in Blake and Justin's legal war over the movie. It Ends with Us. This is a major development that comes literally just days after Blake's lawyer suggested this wouldn't happen. Taylor's camp has issued an absolutely blistering response, saying that she 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 twenty twenty three and twenty twenty four, headlining the biggest tour in history her rep emphasized that Taylor's only involvement was licensing her song My Tears Ricochet from her twenty twenty album Folklore for the film, just like nineteen other artists did. The statement concluded with a direct shot at Baldoni's legal team, saying, 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. That's some serious

1:36 fire from Taylor's team. This major update comes just after Blake's attorney, Mike Gottlieb, told People magazine that Blake herself will be a witness at her trial and that the ultimate moment for a plaintiff's story to be told is at trial. Despite just recently questioning why celebrities like Taylor would be subpoenaed, claiming they had no relevance to the case, Baldoni's lawyer has gone ahead and served Taylor anywhere. Baldoni's attorney, Brian Friedman, defended the decision by claiming Blake was the one who brought her high profile friends into the situation without concern for their own personal or public backlash, and that she used her dragons to manipulate Justin at every turn. That dragon's comment once again references those alleged text messages where Blake compared herself to Callisi from Game of Thrones and called Taylor and Ryan her dragons who protect what she fights for.

2:28 We'll definitely be keeping a close eye on this story as it develops. The trial for this whole legal mess is scheduled for March twenty twenty six, but with this latest escalation, who knows what could happen next. Now back to our regularly scheduled stories. Speaking of Taylor and Travis, they were noticeably absent from this year's Met Gala, and now we know why. According to sources, the couple did receive invitations to Fashion's biggest night, but had to decline due to their respective schedules. Both have been enjoying some downtime following the end of the NFLC and the Eira's tour, with sources saying they have been traveling NonStop and very much enjoy it and are making the most of their time off together. This would have been Travis's first ever Met Gala, while Taylor hasn't attended since twenty sixteen.

3:15 For those fashion history buffs out there. Taylor has attended the met Gala six times since her debut in two thousand and eight. Her looks have evolved dramatically over the years, from her shimmering gold baggy Mishka gown in two thousand and eight during her Fearless era, to a white Ralph Lauren collection gown with that classic red lip for her Speak Now era in twenty ten. Her most memorable MET moments include that gorgeous j Mendel gown in twenty eleven, her silky pink Oscar de la Rent address in twenty fourteen, and of course, her most polarizing look, that metallic Louis Vaton mini dress with ultra dark lip and platinum blonde hair in twenty sixteen, which many fans believe set the stage for her reputation era.

4:00 While we miss seeing Taylor on the metsteps this year, it seems the couple is prioritizing their private time away from the spotlight. Remember how we talked about Travis keeping a lower profile this offseason compared to last year, instead of filming TV shows like Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity and Ryan Murphy's horror series grotesqueree. He's been focusing on rest and recovery after that tough Super Bowl loss. He was criticized for that dinner date with Taylor during Super Bowl Week in New Orleans, and then performed below his usual standards in the game, catching just four passes for thirty nine yards as the Chiefs lost forty to twenty two to the Eagles. In more legal news, there's an update on that copyright infringement case we've been following.

4:42 Kimberly Morasco, the Florida artist suing Taylor for allegedly plagiarizing creative elements from her poetry, is now turning to police to help serve Taylor with legal documents. The case is stalled because Morasco claims Taylor's location is unpredictable and she's having trouble delivering the summons. Judge Aileen Cannon has warned Morasco that failure to properly serve Taylor could lead to dismissal, which is exactly what happened with her previous lawsuit. Morasco has detailed her multiple attempts to serve Taylor, which involved contacting sheriff's offices in California, Tennessee, New York, and Rhode Island. In California, a process server visited a property link to Taylor but couldn't verify her presence, and a sheriff made three attempts but was denied.

5:25 Access past the gates. In Tennessee, a sheriff determined that while Taylor owns property at the address, she doesn't actually live there. The Rhode Island Sheriff's office received the legal documents after a security guard told a process server to turn them over to the nearest police station and warned the server would be arrested for trespassing if they returned. Morasco is asking. The court to extend the May twenty ninth deadline to serve defendants and to allow alternative forms of service. She's even requesting reimbursement for the six hundred thirty one dollars and thirty cents she spent on sheriffs and process servers. In much lighter news, there's a fascinating new book out called There's Nothing Like This The Strategic Genius of Taylor Swift that's currently topping Amazon's Music Business Books chart.

6:12 Written by Harvard Business. Review editor Kevin Evers, it details Taylor's strategic rise up the charts and through the entertainment industry. We actually touched on this book in a previous episode, but now it's officially out and making waves. The three hundred four page book breaks down Taylor's success over nine chapters, each tied to a key album in her career. It explores how she's managed to scale her success through targeted marketing campaigns and artistic decisions, and how she's managed to master the constant disruption in the music business that has made it so hard for others to adapt and endure. Evers ultimately concludes that Taylor is the Beatles of her generation and a trailblazer whose career will be hard to match. What an incredible testament to her business acumen.

6:58 More in a moment. Finally, let's revisit that Cape Cod mansion we talked about last time. We now have more details about Taylor's former Hyanna's Port home that's on the market for fourteen point five million dollars. The listing agent, Robert B. Kinlin, confirmed that Taylor did indeed purchase the property when she was dating Connor Kennedy, son. Of Robert F. Kennedy Junior, back in twenty twelve. According to Kinlin, who facilitated the original sale, Taylor lived at the twenty seven Marchin Avenue address for about six to eight months while dating Connor. Fun fact, Kinlin never actually met Taylor herself.

7:42 He worked directly with her dad, Scott Swift, who handled the negotiations on her behalf. The five thousand, sixty four square foot waterfront property has eight bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a sunroom, outdoor pool, guest quarters, circular driveway, and a three vehicle garage. The home, located in the heart of Hyanna's Port, offers panoramic views across Nantucket Sound and is within eyesight of the famous Kennedy compound. While the current owners have remodeled it since Taylor's time there, the property maintains its quintessential Cape Cod charm from when it was built in nineteen twenty eight. According to Newsweek, Taylor and Connor dated from July to October twenty twelve, and they.

8:23 Reportedly split due to distance. The late Ethel Kennedy, Connor's grandmother, once described Taylor as spectacular and sensational inside and out in an interview with The Cape Cod Times, and that's all for today's episode of Taylor's Swift Today. What do you think about Blake's lawyer saying Taylor shouldn't be subpoened? Are you disappointed we didn't get to see Taylor at the Met Gala this year?
