Why is Swift involved

Taylor Swift has been asked to testify because of her close friendship with Lively and her alleged informal role in early discussions about the project.

Meanwhile, the entertainment industry is watching closely, as the case could highlight celebrities' risks when mixing personal friendships with business ventures.
