Blake Lively is not only one of Taylor Swift’s closest friends, but one of her biggest fans.
While promoting her film, It Ends With Us, which has been at the center of behind-the-scenes feud rumors between her and Justin Baldoni, the actress, 36, couldn’t help but gush over her longtime pal.
As she played a game of ‘Unpopular Opinion’ on the BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show, the Gossip Girl alum fiercely defended Swift’s Eras Tour setlist, which consists of over 40 songs and runs for three and a half hours.
After a caller phoned in to share their controversial opinion that the pop star should not perform Love Story anymore, the mom-of-four hit back with a sarcastic remark.
‘Ooh that’s rough,’ Lively said. ‘You just hate happiness, or joy, or just your ears? You don’t like your ears?’

The caller replied: ‘I think it’s a really good song, but I just think another song from Fearless should thrive in the spotlight.’
‘I think it’s on there because it’s so well-known but I think a less-known one should have its time,’ the woman explained to Ryan Reynolds’ wife.
Lively responded that she ‘honestly’ just wished ‘the concert, was just like 47 hours long so that all the songs could be played at all times.’
The program’s host, Greg James, 38, then asked: ‘So all of the songs from beginning to end should be played?’
‘Yes,’ Lively insisted.
Over her career, Swift has written more than 67 tracks by herself, and 274 overall.
Since 2006, the 14-time Grammy winner has released 11 original studio albums, 4 re-recorded albums, 5 extended plays (EPs), and 4 live albums.
She is currently on her sixth concert tour, which is the highest-grossing music tour of all time.

And her 2017 Reputation album features James’ voice on the song Gorgeous.
In 2023, Swift made a special gesture to Lively’s two daughters during the Philadelphia stop of her Eras Tour.
During her performance the music sensation took a moment to acknowledge the special guests as she mouthed what appeared to be ‘Hi, James! Hi, Inez!’
Reynolds previously revealed that their children had no clue Taylor was famous after growing up with her in their lives.

‘I think what’s most exciting for them is that for the longest time they just thought Taylor’s just like an aunt, like a friend of Mommy and Daddy that’s very, very close, almost family,’ he said on Sirius XM.
‘And then they went to a concert one day and were like, “Ohhhhh, this isn’t a hobby.”‘
