This report may come as a surprise to fans, given that Taylor Swift has reportedly been cautious about getting involved in the controversy surrounding It Ends With Us. A source close to DailyMail revealed that the “Eras Tour” star has been hesitant to wade into the drama, fearing it might negatively impact her own image.
“When it comes to the wave of bad press around It Ends With Us, Taylor did not want to get involved,” the source explained. “She has stayed clear of drama, including anything political, and she knew that this was not going to go well if she jumped in to defend her.”
Despite Swift’s reluctance to publicly involve herself, the insider noted that Blake understands her friend’s position. “Blake completely understood Taylor’s perspective and knows the singer will always be there for her as a best friend and mentor,” the source added.
As Lively navigates this difficult period, her friendship with Swift appears to be a vital source of strength and support, highlighting the deep bond between the two stars.
