Blake Lively is adding to her Taylor Swift fandom as she tries to deflect the criticism surrounding her film It Ends With Us. As the Internet continues to criticise the actress over recent accusations made against her co-star Justin Baldoni, Lively recently attempted to deflect the spotlight by passionately defending Swift’s iconic song ‘Love Story’ during a radio interview and was seen heaping praise on her bestie.
Blake Lively praises Taylor Swift’s Love Story
Blake Lively proved that she is Taylor Swift’s number one fan when she brought out her inner fan girl during a radio interview. During the playing of “Unpopular Opinion” on BBC’s Radio 1 Breakfast, a caller dared to suggest removing Love Story from the Eras Tour setlist and replacing it with another ‘awesome’ choice. The song has been a top priority at all of Swift’s concerts, but now some people think it’s time to say goodbye to it and make some new songs. However, the actress didn’t seem to agree with the suggestion at all.
Lively didn’t just disagree; she went full-on protective bestie, and delivered a mic-drop-worthy defense of Swift’s classic. “That’s too bad,” the Gossip Girl star responded. “You just hate happiness or joy? Or just your ears? You don’t like your ears?” she said, according to Page Six.

Blake also expressed his desire for Taylor Swift to “perform for 47 hours straight so every song is played all the time.” Considering the usual length of Swift’s shows, which usually hover around 3 to 3.5 hours, this seems pretty ambitious. “So my unpopular opinion is that I want it all — yes, every song,” she said. “What’s the setlist? Yes.”
Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni controversy
Amid the ups and downs of her career, the actress has found solace (and perhaps a distraction) by showering praise on her best friend. The actress has also found herself embroiled in a public feud with her It Ends With Us co-star and director Justin Baldoni.

Reports of a strained relationship between the two have been circulating, with sources alleging that creative differences have led to a full-blown rift. These tensions reportedly led to two different cuts being made of the film. The situation reached a head when Baldoni hinted at stepping down as director for a potential sequel, seemingly confirming the rumours of a rift in the relationship.
But that’s not all. According to the report, the Gossip Girl alum also revealed how Baldoni made her feel uncomfortable about her postpartum body by asking her trainer about her weight. In addition, she described a long kiss that she found awkward and disturbing.
