In a lighthearted moment during the promotion of her upcoming film “It Ends With Us,” Blake Lively humorously pretended to be unacquainted with global music icon Taylor Swift. The playful exchange occurred when discussing the inclusion of Swift’s song “My Tears Ricochet” in the movie’s soundtrack.
During an interview with E! News, Lively, her co-star Brandon Sklenar, and author Colleen Hoover were asked about the song’s appearance in the film. The interviewer jokingly suggested that Sklenar, as Swift’s supposed “best friend,” was responsible for the musical selection.

Lively, known for her actual close friendship with Swift, played along with the joke, asking Sklenar if he could introduce her to the singer. Sklenar humorously responded by claiming Swift wasn’t a fan of “Gossip Girl” and hadn’t heard of Lively, but might be open to a meeting.
In reality, Lively and Swift have been close friends for years, with Swift even serving as godmother to some of Lively’s children. Their friendship was notably highlighted when Swift revealed the name of Lively’s daughter Betty in her 2020 album “Folklore.”
The amusing exchange adds a touch of levity to the promotion of “It Ends With Us,” an adaptation of a popular BookTok novel set to release on August 9. The film has generated significant buzz since its announcement, with fans eagerly anticipating its premiere.
