Taylor Swift and Blake Lively's friendship status revealed after Justin Baldoni drops subpoena amid 'stressful' few weeks

Reports suggest that Taylor Swift and Blake Lively have not resumed communication, even after Justin Baldoni decided to withdraw the legal summons served to the famous singer. This development comes as Baldoni finds himself entangled in a legal dispute with his fellow actor from “It Ends With Us.”

There’s been radio silence between Taylor and Blake since the subpoena was dropped,” a source told Us Weekly Saturday. “They won’t pick up where they left off because of all the emotional residue.”

Baldoni, 41, initially dragged Swift, 35, into his $400 defamation and extortion countersuit against Lively, 37, because he claimed the “Gossip Girl” alum had leveraged her friendship with the famous singer to try and gain control of their 2024 film.

He alleged in the complaint, obtained by Page Six, that Lively brought Swift and her husband, Ryan Reynolds — whom she affectionately referred to as her “dragons” — to a meeting about script re-writes, making Baldoni feel “pressured” to accept the changes his co-star wanted.

“The message could not have been clearer. Baldoni was not just dealing with Lively. He was also facing Lively’s ‘dragons,’ two of the most influential and wealthy celebrities in the world, who were not afraid to make things very difficult for him,” the director’s lawyer Bryan Freedman previously claimed.

The countersuit was filed after Lively sued Baldoni for sexual harassment and other allegations.

Swift was then officially subpoenaed earlier this month, prompting the “Fortnight” singer’s rep to adamantly deny their client was ever involved in any “casting” or “creative decisions” pertaining to the film.

The legal drama immediately caused an even deeper rift between Swift and Lively, with a source telling People at the time the friendship “has halted” and the “Shake It Off” singer “wants no part in this drama.”

Baldoni’s team then shockingly dropped Swift’s subpoena just a few weeks later and an insider cryptically noted to Page Six at the time, “When information is voluntarily received, there is no need for subpoenas.”

Last week, a source claimed to the Daily Mail that the “Lover” singer’s dad, Scott Swift, had made a deal with Baldoni’s lawyers and he “voluntarily gave up” information in an effort to protect his daughter.

Us Weekly’s source added Saturday that Taylor is “feeling an immense sense of relief” to be able to put the legal drama behind her, further noting, “It’s been a stressful few weeks for her and she seems happier and lighter since the subpoena was dropped.”

The insider also recognized that the “Blank Space” singer handled the entire situation with “a lot of grace and is not solely focused on it,” concluding, “She’s moved on.”

Taylor has much to celebrate lately, given that she recently bought back her masters.

“I’ve been bursting into tears of joy at random intervals ever since I found that this is really happening. I really get to say those words,” she wrote in part in a lengthy letter to her fans on her website Friday.

Taylor was involved in a public feud with music manager Scooter Braun when he bought her masters for a reported $300 million dollars in 2019 — which she claimed he did without her permission. Then in 2020, Braun, 43, sold the recordings to Shamrock Capital, who just sold them back to the global superstar.
