Justin Baldoni can obtain Taylor Swift's private text messages with Blake Lively, judge rules
Taylor Swift has once again found herself reluctantly entangled in Hollywood drama. According to a TMZ report, a judge has ruled that Justin Baldoni's production company, Wayfarer Studios, can pursue certain communications between the Cruel Summer hitmaker and her close friend, Blake Lively, amid a heated legal battle over the film It Ends With Us. The report states that Lively, who stars in the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover's novel of the same name, had urged the court to block Baldoni's team from accessing her private messages with Swift. Lively argued that Baldoni, who also directed the film, was using her high-profile friendship with the Blank Space singer to stir public attention. She further alleged that he and Wayfarer Studios were attempting to deflect from more serious allegations of sexual harassment and retaliation. The judge, however, ruled that there could be messages between Swift and Lively relevant to the ongoing dispute. Reportedly, the court assured that any obtained communications would be protected under a confidentiality order to address privacy concerns. Swift's name was first dragged into the matter when Baldoni's legal team subpoenaed her for information. Although the demand was later withdrawn, Lively's representatives insisted the damage had already been done. In a strong statement to TMZ, Blake Lively's representatives criticized Baldoni's 'relentless efforts to exploit Swift's popularity' and asserted that there is no connection between Taylor Swift and the claims made by Lively. They also clarified that the court never ordered Lively to produce new documents, contrary to public belief, and that the A Simple Favour actor had already produced more documents than Wayfarer Studios. Justin Baldoni's team has yet to issue a statement on the court's ruling. According to a BBC report, Justin Baldoni had subpoenaed Taylor Swift in May to provide information regarding claims that the pop star allegedly pressured him to accept script revisions proposed by Blake Lively for the film. Baldoni reportedly stated that he was invited to Lively's New York home in 2023 to discuss the matter in the presence of her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and Swift. In response, Swift's representatives clarified that she had no role in any casting or creative decisions and had never seen an edit or provided notes on the film.

Two reasons Taylor Swift is looking forward to boyfriend Travis Kelce's 2025 NFL season
NFL star Travis Kelce's romance with Taylor Swift is one of the most talked-about topics in the sports world, and the pop star is looking forward to the 2025 NFL season with much more vigour than ever before. Taylor Swift has been seen cheering for Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs ever since the duo started dating back in 2023. Her presence in the games has brought a new wave of fans into the NFL. Now, according to multiple reports, she is looking forward to the 2025 season more than ever for two reasons. According to a report by People, Taylor Swift is especially 'looking forward' to boyfriend Travis Kelce's upcoming NFL season. A source quoted in the report revealed that it was the case 'not just because she loves supporting Travis, but because for the first full season since they started dating, she's not juggling a packed tour schedule'. 'This fall will be completely different. It's the first season where she's not constantly flying back and forth or working around an entire touring calendar,' the insider elaborated. Both the pop star and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end have been quite busy professionally ever since their romance started. Taylor Swift's record-breaking Eras tour kicked off in Glendale, Arizona, back in 2023 and ended in Vancouver in December 2024. 'The past two seasons were a whirlwind between performing across multiple countries, long flights, and trying to squeeze in alone time together wherever possible. It wasn't easy, but they made it work,' the source said. Now, the 'Blank Space' singer is thrilled to be able to focus on her romance with the athlete and cheer him on during football season. The second reason is said to be the couple's looming marriage question. According to a report by the Daily Mail, once Travis Kelce 'is done playing football', the conversation will shift to marriage. The outlet had earlier reported that the tight end expects the 2025 season to be his last.

Taylor Swift's boyfriend Travis Kelce celebrates her milestone in sweet message
Taylor Swift's boyfriend Travis Kelce has broken his silence on the 'Blank Space' hitmaker's news that she has finally regained control of the master recordings of her music Travis Kelce has been spotted revelling in Taylor Swift's triumph as she "finally" takes back control over her music catalogue. The 'Cruel Summer' songstress shared the much-anticipated news on Friday that she has officially reclaimed rights to her original anthems from albums such as ' Taylor Swift ', 'Fearless', 'Speak Now', 'Red', '1989', and 'Reputation'. Reacting to this, her beau who plays for the NFL couldn't help but give a jubilant "shout out" on his podcast. In a sneak peak for the newest instalment of 'New Heights', we see Travis beaming with joy as he grooves to Taylor's 'I Knew You Were Trouble', blaring from Shaquille O'Neal's phone speaker, alongside his brother Jason Kelce and their celebrated guest. Whilst Shaq lip-syncs, the Kelce brothers are seen nodding to the beat, and then Travis bursts into an excited display, throwing his hands up when the song hits "You found me/You found me." NBA icon Shaquille expressed his adoration for the tune, remarking: "That's my favourite song in the world, brother." Following a round of applause for their esteemed visitor, Travis exclaims: "Shout out to Tay Tay. Just got that song back, too. Just bought all her music back so it's finally hers, man, I appreciate that, dog. Love you big dog." Back in 2019, Taylor publicly voiced her outrage after industry mogul Scooter Braun took over her previous label, Big Machine Records, and along with it her treasured master recordings, which were later passed on to Shamrock Capital in 2020. This spurred Taylor to embark on re-recording journeys, leading to the release of 'Taylor's Versions' of her albums, including 'Fearless', 'Speak Now', 'Red', and '1989'. On Friday, the 35 year old songstress delighted her followers by announcing that she has successfully regained control over her music catalogue. In a heartfelt message on her official site she expressed: "I'm trying to gather my thoughts into something coherent, but right now my mind is just a slideshow. A flashback sequence of all the times I daydreamed about, wished for, and pined away for a chance to get to tell you this news. "All the times I was thiiiiiiiiiiiiis close , reaching out for it, only for it to fall through. I almost stopped thinking it could ever happen, after 20 years of having the carrot dangled then yanked away. But that's all in the past now." She continued, overwhelmed with happiness, "I've been bursting into tears of joy at random intervals ever since I found out that this is really happening. I really get to say these words: All of the music I've ever made... now belongs... to me. And all my music videos. All the concert films. The album art and photography. The unreleased songs. The memories. The magic. The madness. Every single era. My entire life's work." Taylor further stated that securing the rights to her music represents her "greatest dream come true" and she extended her gratitude towards Shamrock Capital for making this opportunity possible.
