Taylor Swift is reportedly helping her bestie Blake Lively do damage control for her reputation. Recently, Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, have both been called out for their lack of respect and problematic comments in Hollywood. Lively is now taking heat from fans on social media. However, Swift is allegedly looking to help her longtime friend navigate the rough water. She’s even reportedly allowing her to use her fame and popularity as a way to remind fans who she really is.
Sources tell Heat World that Taylor Swift has been a huge source of support for Blake Lively. As old interviews and comments made by the actress surface, Swift is there to help her shake off her so-called mean girl persona. Now, the It Ends With Us star is looking to do damage control. Of course, reminding everyone that she and the beloved singer are best friends doesn’t hurt. She was even seen at Swift’s Rhode Island beach house over the weekend.
“Taylor’s been a rock for Blake,” says one insider. “She’s calling and texting all the time to cheer her up, and reminding her not to let all the negativity get her down – it’s par for the course when you make a big impact. Having Taylor’s backing means the world to Blake, and just proves she’s the kind of friend who’s there through thick and thin.”
Blake Lively Uses Taylor Swift’s Fame Amid Her Career Crisis
Meanwhile, Lively has been using her relationship with Swift as a way to dig herself out of the nightmare she’s found herself in.
“Blake’s speaking about her friendship with Taylor in interviews whenever she can. Taylor’s huge popularity is something Blake can hitch her wagon to, so she’s making a big point to emphasise what close friends they are,” the source added.
Of course, Swift has a bit of experience with bad press as well. After her feud with Kim Kardashian and Kanye West she was labeled a snake by many fans. The singer took major social media heat. She later left the spotlight and returned with her album, Reputation.
Meanwhile, some fans are wondering if Swift’s friendship with Lively may also impact her own reputation.
“Everyone is saying that Blake Lively is a mean girl, which increases my suspicion that my girl Taylor Swift is a mean girl too 😞. The two of them are inseparable so I can imagine they are very similar, only difference is Taylor might have a better PR team so it’s not as visible,” one person tweeted.
“Taylor Swift consistently linking with ‘problematic’ people…. i.e. Blake lively, Brittany Mahomes, Matt Healy…etc,” another pointed out.
It seems that Taylor Swift is standing by Blake Lively through all of the drama. The actress has seemingly gotten herself into a big mess at the moment. However, Swift’s opinions carry a lot of weight with her fans. Meanwhile, it could be beneficial for Lively to remind everyone of that amid all of the chaos.
