As the months have progressed, this lawsuit has attracted significant media and public attention, making it a hot topic among celebrities and fans alike.
So, what exactly did Kristin Cavallari say regarding the connection between Blake Lively and Taylor Swift? Let’s dive into the details.
Insights from Kristin Cavallari on Taylor Swift’s Involvement in Blake Lively’s Legal Issues
Kristin Cavallari commented that the mention of Taylor Swift in the context of Blake Lively’s legal battle with Justin Baldoni appeared to be a tactic “to garner attention.” This remark sheds light on Cavallari’s perspective regarding the media’s role in sensationalizing the lawsuit.
During an engaging episode of her podcast, Let’s Be Honest with Kristin Cavallari, the former star of The Hills and her friend Justin Anderson discussed Swift’s unexpected role in Lively’s legal drama, including the controversial subpoena issued to the renowned singer. Cavallari expressed her belief that Swift being subpoenaed was “bulls—,” questioning the necessity of involving such a high-profile artist.
“I noticed what her lawyer mentioned,” the TV personality stated, elaborating on the situation. “It seemed like they needed to license her song used in the movie alongside tracks from 19 other artists. Yet, it’s Taylor Swift who is being subpoenaed. There are plenty of other artists whose music could have been used,” she emphasized, pointing out the inconsistency in the legal strategy.
Anderson chimed in, suggesting that Lively had “thrown” Swift “under the bus” by dragging her into this controversial legal dispute, which many perceive as unnecessary and detrimental to Swift’s reputation.

Cavallari’s remarks refer to a statement released by a representative for Swift to US Weekly earlier this month, following the news of the “Bad Blood” singer’s subpoena. The representative harshly criticized the subpoena, asserting that it seemed to be aimed at leveraging Taylor Swift’s name to generate public interest through sensationalist tabloid headlines rather than addressing the core issues of the case.
The statement went on to clarify that the “Lover” singer had no part in the production of It Ends With Us. According to her representative, Swift didn’t even view the film “until weeks after its public release” as she was occupied with her highly successful Eras Tour.
Moreover, the statement clarified that the only connection Swift had with the film was her permission for the use of her song “My Tears Ricochet.” It was also noted that, like Swift, 19 other artists had similarly granted permission for their music to be featured in the film, indicating that the involvement of these artists should not have been sensationalized.
