Speaker 1 (00:03):
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

(00:25):
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.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
It Ends with Us.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
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

(01:01):
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,

(01:25):
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
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

(01:46):
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

(02:08):
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.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
We'll definitely be keeping a close eye on this story
as it develops.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
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

(02:52):
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

(03:12):
hasn't attended since twenty sixteen.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
For those fashion history buffs out there.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
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.

(03:38):
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.

(04:00):
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

(04:20):
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.

(04:42):
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,

(05:05):
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.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
Access past the gates.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
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.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
Morasco is asking.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
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

(06:07):
Swift that's currently topping Amazon's Music Business Books chart.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
Written by Harvard Business.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
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

(06:34):
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

(06:54):
an incredible testament to her business acumen.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
More in a moment.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
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.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
The listing agent, Robert B.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
Kinlin, confirmed that Taylor did indeed purchase the property when
she was dating Connor Kennedy, son.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
Of Robert F.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
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.
He worked directly with her dad, Scott Swift, who handled
the negotiations on her behalf. The five thousand, sixty four

(07:49):
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

(08:10):
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.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
Reportedly split due to distance.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
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?

(08:47):
And would you shell out fourteen point five million dollars
for Taylor's former Cape Cod mansion?
