Taylor Swift was sent a document subpoena earlier in May by Justin Baldoni's legal team in his legal case with the singer's longtime friend Blake Lively. Lively's rep confirmed May 22 that the subpoena was withdrawn by Baldoni's team.

Sources with direct knowledge told ABC News that Swift is no longer facing a subpoena from Baldoni, weeks after she was called as a witness over Baldoni and Lively's alleged conflict on the set of the film "It Ends With Us."

For lawyers, there’s a fine art to litigating in the press, of calibrating how to shape a public narrative without running afoul of ethics rules or antagonizing judges.
