Taylor Swift’s blunt reaction to Blake Lively’s ‘groveling excuses’ revealed after Justin Baldoni subpoena: report

Taylor Swift has reportedly been ghosting Blake Lively after being dragged into the actress’ messy legal battle with Justin Baldoni.

“Even though Taylor has totally cut ties with her, Blake hasn’t with Taylor,” an insider told the Daily Mail Tuesday.

“She’s been reaching out to her with texts, voicemails and even emails, begging to mend what they once had. Blake isn’t giving up on trying to get her friendship with Taylor back on track.”

According to the source, Swift, 35, “hasn’t responded to any of Blake’s pleas” and has “ignored all her groveling excuses.”

“The missives explain there must be some misunderstanding on Taylor’s part and that she’d never do anything to harm their 10 years of closeness and personal secrets,” the insider claimed.

However, a separate source claimed to People that the duo were trying to get back “on good terms,” though “their friendship isn’t the same as it was before.”

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

Reps for the “Lover” songstress and Lively, 37, weren’t immediately available to Page Six for comment.

The longtime besties are reportedly no longer on speaking terms after Swift was name-dropped in Baldoni’s $400 million lawsuit against Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds.

The “Jane the Virgin” star, 41, alleged in the filing that Lively threatened him with Swift’s influence to assert her control over their 2024 movie, “It Ends With Us.”

He claimed the “Gossip Girl” alum referred to the 14-time Grammy winner and Reynolds as her “dragons” who “protect” her in battle after a meeting about script revisions.

“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 lawsuit stated.

As a result, Swift was subpoenaed last month to testify as a witness in the co-stars’ upcoming March 2026 trial.

Baldoni’s legal team, however, dropped the subpoena weeks later.
