Blake Lively recently took some time to express her admiration for her best friend Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour. During a game of “Unpopular Opinion” at BBC’s “Radio 1 Breakfast,” Lively defended Swift’s song “Love Story” when a caller suggested it should be cut from the setlist. Lively’s immediate response showcased her unwavering support for Swift’s music and talent.
Lively even went on to mention that she wishes Swift’s concerts were longer so that every song could be played. This level of enthusiasm and admiration for Swift’s work demonstrates a deep bond between the two friends and highlights Lively’s genuine appreciation for Swift’s artistry.
Despite Lively’s camaraderie with Swift, rumors of a feud between Lively and her “It Ends With Us” co-star and director, Justin Baldoni, have circulated. Reports of creative differences on set leading to a fracture among filmmakers and resulting in multiple versions of the film being cut have raised questions about the working relationship between Lively and Baldoni.
During interviews, Lively refrained from delving into the clash but hinted at being pressured to remove certain elements from the film, such as Lana Del Rey’s song “Cherry,” due to its intensity. Baldoni’s comments about potentially stepping down from directing a sequel further fueled speculation about tensions on set.
Sources have indicated that Lively may have felt uncomfortable about her postpartum body due to interactions with Baldoni during filming. These allegations, coupled with claims that the cast found working with Baldoni challenging and unpleasant, paint a picture of a strained working environment behind the scenes of the film.
Despite the rumored tensions, Lively and Baldoni attended the New York City premiere of “It Ends With Us” together, with Lively posing alongside other cast members while Baldoni stood by his wife’s side. The dynamics between the two co-stars and director highlight the complexities that can arise in creative collaborations and the challenges of navigating professional relationships in the entertainment industry.
While Blake Lively continues to shower praises on her close friend Taylor Swift and express her admiration for Swift’s music, rumors of a feud with her co-star Justin Baldoni underscore the intricacies of working relationships in the film industry. The contrasting dynamics between Lively’s unwavering support for Swift and the alleged tensions with Baldoni shed light on the complexities of navigating creative partnerships in Hollywood.
