Taylor Swift and Blake Lively are reportedly still not speaking despite Justin Baldoni dropping the pop superstar’s subpoena amid his legal battle with his “It Ends With Us” co-star.

“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. EXPLORE MORE “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. FOLLOW PAGE SIX’S TAYLOR SWIFT LIVE UPDATES FOR THE LATEST NEWS, PHOTOS, FAN THEORIES AND MORE Swift was then officially subpoenaed earlier this month, prompting the

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.” FOLLOW PAGE SIX’S TAYLOR

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.
