Swift stays silent amid Blake Lively’s ‘It Ends With Us’ backlash
Pop star Taylor Swift and actress Blake Lively at the Super Bowl LVIII.
Taylor Swift has been notably quiet during the recent backlash against her best friend, Blake Lively, amid the drama surrounding the film It Ends With Us. Fans are left wondering why Taylor, 34, has opted not to publicly support Blake, 37, especially given their long-standing friendship.
An insider provided some insight, stating that Taylor wants to “steer clear” of any negative press. They explained, “Taylor didn’t want to get involved because she feared it might negatively impact her own image.” This suggests that Taylor is prioritizing her reputation over stepping into the fray to defend her friend.
The controversy has been brewing for weeks, particularly involving Blake and her co-star Justin Baldoni. Reports have indicated that Blake faced significant backlash, with critics labeling her as “tone-deaf” for her responses to serious questions about the film. One reporter even branded her a “bully” over a resurfaced comment from an old interview. As the drama escalated, it became clear that both stars were under intense scrutiny.
Interestingly, despite having publicly supported Blake’s husband, Ryan Reynolds, for his new Deadpool movie just weeks ago, Taylor has remained silent regarding Blake’s situation. This has led many to question whether Taylor is distancing herself from the controversy to protect her own brand.
Swift’s silence speaks volumes during Lively’s tough times
The insider also mentioned, “Taylor is very aware of how quickly public opinion can shift, and she doesn’t want to risk her image for someone else’s drama.” This highlights the precarious position celebrities find themselves in, where one wrong move can lead to significant backlash.

While fans might expect Taylor to leap to Blake’s defense, it’s important to recognize the complexities of fame and public perception. Taylor’s choice to remain silent might be a strategic one, reflecting her understanding of the industry and the potential consequences of getting involved in such heated situations.
As the story unfolds, it remains uncertain whether Taylor will eventually speak out or continue to keep her distance. For now, her decision appears to be rooted in a desire to safeguard her own reputation while navigating the challenges of friendship in the public eye.
REPORT: The U.S. Army Is Asking Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson & The UFL To Give Them Back Their $6 Million Dollars

The United States Army is looking for a refund cheque from Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and the UFL after giving him millions in the hopes of ramping up enrollment and getting zilch.
The former WWE star turned actor and football league owner was one of the investors who made a $15 million grab at the XFL’s rights after its second debut failed in 2020. The league came back for a third time, kicking off again in 2023. It has since merged with the USFL to become the UFL, so it’s actually had a fourth debut in 2024.
While it managed a decent 812,000 viewers during the regular season, the UFL can’t claim to be a top American league just yet, although it has attracted sponsors with deep pockets, including Uncle Sam.
The league predicted it would generate about $100 million in revenue this past season, but there’s been no update, so we can’t be sure they reached that goal. But the U.S. Army did contribute $11 million to the cause.
