Although Lively expressed her worries for her friend’s safety at the press conference on Thursday, the reporter’s question choice did not sit well with fans.
Blake Lively recently spoke up about Taylor Swift’s experience on the Eras Tour earlier this week. Due to fears of terrorism, the singer, 34, was had to postpone her three-night visit in Vienna, Austria. Lively discussed the experience during a press conference for her upcoming movie, It Ends With Us, describing it as “terrifying.”
What did Blake Lively say about Taylor Swift’s cancelled shows?
At a London press conference, the 36-year-old actress was questioned about her feelings on the terror threats related to the Eras Tour. A reporter from Acess Hollywood is heard in a video posted to TikTok inquiring about the reporter’s level of worry over the situation. Lively remarked, seemingly touched by the heartbreaking news, “Oh, my god. How frightening, really? Thankfully, though, they are fully aware of it.
Although Swift has not yet publicly addressed the Eras Tour experience, Taylor Nation’s official social media platforms broke the news of the Vienna event cancelation. “We are forced to cancel the three scheduled shows for everyone’s safety due to confirmation from government officials of a planned terrorist attack at Ernst Happel Stadium,” the statement said.
The All I See is You performer and the vocalist of Blank Space have been pals since they first linked on social media in 2015. As time passed, the friendship between the two became stronger, and in her 2020 album Folklore, Swift mentioned three of Lively’s children—James, Inez, and Betty—that the actress has with Ryan Reynolds. The reporter’s query did not sit well with fans, even though the Simple Favor singer expressed her worry for her friend’s safety during Thursday’s press session.
Following the viral video of Lively’s response to the cancellation of the Vienna gigs, fans took to social media to criticize the reporter for posing such a “insensitive” query. One TikTok member commented, “Blake is so right for immediately stepping away,” while another remarked, “Insensitive and inappropriate question.” “Yes, let’s keep questions about Blake…not about her friend Taylor,” a third admirer remarked. Blake is in no position to comment on this matter at all.
