[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will never understand why Blake's attorneys amended Swift to add her. That seemed like a huge tactical mistake at the time. [/quote]

It's only a tactical error if Swift's testimony would somehow undermine Blake's case. But there's no indication it would. Swift has stated repeatedly that she has no "material" information related to this case.

I think they listed Taylor as a potential witness because, at the time, Baldoni was suggesting that Blake had tried to use Swift to intimidate him into letting Blake take over the movie. I think they added her because they felt that if she was called to testify to that meeting with Baldoni in Blake's apartment, Swift would say it was brief and an accident of timing, or provided some other exonerating evidence.

That incident is no longer a central issue because Baldoni's complaint was dismissed and he was the one who raised that incident as evidence of Blake extorting him and Wayfarer.

But in any case, I actually don't think Swift's testimony would hurt Blake at this point. She just likely knows nothing. She was touring and in the first year of her relationship with Kielce at the time, I just don't think she was involved at all. I sense Blake is opposing deposing Taylor not because she fears how that depo would impact her legally, but because their relationship is strained due to Blake getting Swift involved with this case, and Blake is hoping to undo or at least mitigate that problem by paying her lawyers to help ensure Taylor doesn't have to testify.[/quote]

Pp. I dont think it was a mistake because it would help or hurt the case. I believe Swift when she says she doesn't have information, personally. But Blake moved for a PO to not give over her texts, and Liman pointed out Blake named her as a person with information, that was a rare misstep from the Blake side. They were trying to call Freedman's bluff when he said he got everything he needed, but undermined themselves by adding Swift to their disclosures. Luckily for Swift, Wayfarer is incompetent and didn't subpoena her lol.[/quote]
