According to court documents, Baldoni\u2019s lawyer, <strong>Bryan Freedman<\/strong>, stated in a letter that Swift \u201chas agreed to appear for deposition.\u201d This is a significant change from months ago when Swift\u2019s representatives pushed back on an initial subpoena, calling it an \u201cunwarranted fishing expedition\u201d designed for \u201ctabloid clickbait.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So, why the change of heart? The details remain under wraps, but sources close to the situation suggest Swift is ready to set the record straight and provide clarity on her alleged involvement. It\u2019s an interesting move for the typically private star, but given her close friendship with Lively, it\u2019s perhaps not entirely unexpected that she would step in to support her friend.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1160\" height=\"1782\" alt=\"London Screening of 'Another Simple Favour'\" class=\"wp-image-113084 perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/socialitelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/best-dressed-photos-15042025-09-1160x1782.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/socialitelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/best-dressed-photos-15042025-09-1160x1782.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/socialitelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/best-dressed-photos-15042025-09-800x1229.jpg 800w, https:\/\/socialitelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/best-dressed-photos-15042025-09-1000x1536.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/socialitelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/best-dressed-photos-15042025-09-860x1321.jpg 860w, https:\/\/socialitelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/best-dressed-photos-15042025-09.jpg 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1160px) 100vw, 1160px\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1160\" height=\"1782\" src=\"https:\/\/socialitelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/best-dressed-photos-15042025-09-1160x1782.jpg\" alt=\"London Screening of 'Another Simple Favour'\" class=\"wp-image-113084\" srcset=\"https:\/\/socialitelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/best-dressed-photos-15042025-09-1160x1782.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/socialitelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/best-dressed-photos-15042025-09-800x1229.jpg 800w, https:\/\/socialitelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/best-dressed-photos-15042025-09-1000x1536.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/socialitelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/best-dressed-photos-15042025-09-860x1321.jpg 860w, https:\/\/socialitelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/best-dressed-photos-15042025-09.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1160px) 100vw, 1160px\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Blake Lively attends a screening of \u2018Another Simple Favour\u2019 at the Ham Yard Hotel  in London on April 15, 2025.

While a deposition is a closed-door proceeding, the information gleaned from it could be instrumental in the case, which is currently set for trial next year.
