Blake Lively Explains Friend Taylor Swift’s Connection to Her New Movie It Ends with Us
Blake Lively says her new movie and pal Taylor Swift are a perfect match.
“Them together made a lot of sense,” said Lively at a recent Q&A panel for Book Bonanza, an annual event co-founded by Hoover, 44.
“My Tears Ricochet” comes from 2020’s Grammy Award-winning Folklore, the eighth studio album from Swift, 34.
“Colleen is able to tell something that’s deeply personal and intimate but is able to resonate with so many people,” explained the Gossip Girl star. “And Taylor, she’s such an incredible writer. She writes from such personal experiences and vulnerability.”
“It’s important to love the character you’re playing and to understand her and just feel her heart and soul,” she said.
She teased that “every single person in this movie is a revelation.”
Lively said, “Lily resonated with an enormous amount of people, as the success of the book made clear… Stepping into a character who’s had such a meaningful impact is an honor to take on.”
It Ends With Us is in theaters Aug 9.
