Taylor Swift has finally spoken out about being dragged into Blake Lively's legal battle with Justin Baldoni.

However, Baldoni's attorney Bryan Freedman recently served Swift with a subpoena in his $400 million lawsuit against Lively for defamation, civil extortion, and launching a smear campaign against him.

Swift, 35, is said to have been 'completely floored' by the legal escalation and is now'very upset' despite putting on a brave front in Philadelphia this weekend, reportedly attending a Mother's Day lunch with her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and their mothers, according to the Daily Mail.
