Taylor Swift reconnects with Blake Lively after the actress apologizes amidst the Justin Baldoni scandal.

Taylor Swift is reportedly talking to Blake Lively again after the pals allegedly fell out amid the Justin Baldoni scandal.

In February, DailyMail.com reported that the singer, 35, had taken a ‘step back’ from their decade-long friendship after her shock involvement in Blake’s highly-publicised legal roller coaster with her It Ends With Us co-star.

However, it appears that Taylor and Blake have now made amends, with reports stating that the actress, 37, said sorry over her friend being dragged into the drama.

A source told NewsNation: ‘[Swift and Lively] have worked everything out. Blake apologized and they are talking again.’

MailOnline have contacted representatives of Taylor and Blake for comment.

In February, it was claimed the A-list pals were struggling to move on from the fallout, with the Shake It Off singer pausing communication with Blake, according to insiders.

Their close bond had deteriorated, with Taylor reportedly refusing an invitation to the SNL 50th anniversary special as Blake was on the guest list.

‘Taylor is not communicating with Blake,’ an insider said to DailyMail.com. ‘She was invited to SNL50, but with Blake there – and Kim Kardashian – it was the last place on earth she would be seen.’

The global frenzy around Blake left Taylor questioning her close friendships and how she can prevent ‘external factors’ from damaging her own reputation.

‘Taylor is taking stock of which of her friends are good for her and who name drops her for personal gain after Blake-gate,’ a second insider added.

She has a new album in the works and is shocked by how much drama she was pulled into. She won’t let external factors hurt her career.’

At the time, the ladies hadn’t been pictured together for four months. The last time was when Blake and Taylor enjoyed a double date with their respective partners Ryan Reynolds and Travis Kelce in Manhattan in October.

Questions were raised in February when the actress failed to attend the Super Bowl, with Taylor instead flanked by her collaborator Ice Spice, social media influencer Ashley Avignone and Haim sisters Alana, Este and Danielle.

Ever since Blake (pictured on set with Baldoni) filed her bombshell complaint – alleging 𝓈ℯ𝓍ual harrassment – in December last year, Taylor has not been seen with her

Amid the reports, Blake’s husband Ryan Reynolds was seen watching Wrexham play Burton Albion F.C. at the Racecourse Ground

Taylor was dragged into the explosive saga in January when Blake’s It Ends with Us co-star Justin countersued the actress and her husband Ryan Reynolds, 48, for $400 million.

In his filing he claimed Blake, who accused Justin of 𝓈ℯ𝓍ual harassment in a lawsuit, used Taylor to intimidate him at a meeting with Ryan about edits she had made to a rooftop scene.

Justin claimed the Cruel Summer singer made him feel like he ‘needed to comply with Blake’s direction for the script’.

Blake later appeared to threaten Justin by comparing herself to Game of Thrones character Khaleesi in a series of text messages, included as exhibits to court papers, in which she referred to Ryan and her best friend as her ‘dragons’.

Khaleesi, also known as Daenerys Targaryen and Mother of Dragons, is one of the main characters in Game of Thrones, which aired between 2011 to 2019.

She was portrayed as a villain after descending into madness and turning to vengeance due to trauma and loss.

A source previously told DailyMail.com that the ‘uncool and unnecessary’ description was a shock for Taylor who had never planned to be at the meeting, but arrived at Blake’s New York penthouse to find it was still ongoing.

‘For the time being she is taking a step back from Blake because she doesn’t want to get tangled in this more than she already has – which is far more than she ever needed to be,’ an insider told DailyMail.com.

Justin also claimed in the suit that Blake leveraged her friendship with the Grammy-winner to get her way behind the scenes.

He claimed the actress threatened to ‘change her mind’ about reaching out to Taylor to secure the use of her hit 2020 track My Tears Ricochet.

Taylor and Blake have been friends for a decade, with the pair celebrating milestones together and the singer even name dropping Blake’s children in her music.

She appeared to rally around the actress when rumors of rancor between her and Justin first started bubbling in August.

She was pictured arriving at Taylor’s Rhode Island property, taking solace at the $17 million, eight bedroom estate alongside her husband Reynolds, to escape the frenzy.
