Taylor Swift, Blake Lively's friendship status exposed after subpoena withdrawal

Taylor Swift is reportedly working to trust Blake Lively but "their friendship isn't the same as it was before."

An insider spilled to People magazine on Wednesday that the pop star and the actress have made progress in their relationship but they "aren't as close and haven't been spending as much time together as they did in the past."

The pair’s friendship has been strained ever since the Bad Blood hitmaker was dragged into the Another Simple Favor star’s ongoing legal battle with Justin Baldoni.

Previously, the source revealed to the outlet that Taylor and Blake rekindled their friendship in April after the pop sensation distanced herself from the actress.

“Taylor is working to trust Blake again but it’s going to take some time,” said the confidant.

For those unversed, Blake filed a lawsuit against Justin in December 2024, alleging that he sexually harassed her on the set of their film It Ends With Us.

However, Justin shut down all her accusations and filed a lawsuit against the actress and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, accusing them of defamation and invasion of privacy.
