Taylor Swift showed her support for two of her friends’ latest projects on Friday.
While she has sparked controversy for not promoting her longtime friend Blake Lively’s new film, It Ends With Us, which features her 2020 song My Tears Ricochet, the pop star, 34, sweetly praised Zoe Kravitz for her directorial debut, Blink Twice.
“This movie is incredible,” the 14-time Grammy winner said of the new psychological thriller that Kravitz co-wrote with E.T. Feigenbaum. “Thrilling, twisted, wickedly funny and visually stunning.”
She continued: “The performances are phenomenal. Zoe Kravitz conceptualized this, wrote it, obsessed over every detail, and directed it with a clear, bold vision. I am so blown away by what she has accomplished here and can’t wait for everyone to discover this film and this brilliant filmmaker.”
The Fortnight hitmaker also shared a warning for Blink Twice when she warned her followers that the film contained “mature themes and depictions of violence, including sexual violence.”
Taylor Swift couldn’t help but praise the latest projects of two of her friends on Friday
“This may be disturbing or triggering for some viewers,” Swift warned beneath an image of the Blink Twice movie poster, which featured an image of Channing Tatum.
The billionaire, who concluded the European leg of her Eras Tour in London on Tuesday, also praised SAbrina Carpenter, who released her sixth album Short ‘n Sweet on Friday.
“She’s small (checkmark emoji). She’s sweet (checkmark emoji). She’s made an extraordinary album (checkmark emoji). Please support our girl!” she urged her fans.
In addition to sharing a link to purchase the former Disney Channel star’s latest album, Swift shared a photo of them together at a Kansas City Chiefs game.
The image was taken while cheering on Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and his team as they played against the New York Jets last October.
Last week, the Cats actress praised Post Malone for his new album, F-1 Trillion, on her Instagram Story.
“I was lucky enough to hear this amazing music on the set of the Fortnight video when (her brother) Austin (Swift) played it for me,” she captioned an image of herself on set with Malone, 29, while she was filming the music video for the lead single from her record, The Tortured Poets Department.
“It’s amazing how versatile his art is,” he concluded, before congratulating him on a more personal level. “And he’s the most down-to-earth guy in the world.”

The billionaire also showed her support for Sabrina Carpenter, who released her sixth album Short ‘n Sweet on Friday.
Last month, Swift even promoted Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman’s film, Deadpool & Wolverine.
“Over the past few years I’ve watched one of my best friends on this planet pour every bit of his heart, soul, sweat, time, energy, jokes, pain, joy, rebellion, darkness, and magic into this film,” Swift wrote on her Instagram Story. “He’s created the best work of his life, and this film feels like a true portal of joy, a wild escape from reality, and an abs sandwich. I don’t know how he did it.”
She then joked: “But that’s just Hugh for you!”
Referring to Lively and Reynolds, Swift joked that they were just “some strangers who just happened to walk into the photo” and that she and Jackman were “too polite to ask” them to leave.
Following her recent posts, many Swifties began to wonder why the superstar has not endorsed or publicly shown her support for Lively’s film, It Ends With Us.

After sharing her posts supporting Carpenter and Kravitz, one fan asked on Reddit Does anyone find it strange that Taylor has publicly supported Deadpool, Blink Twice and Short n Sweet but nothing for It Ends With Us?
“Blake most likely asked her not to. Blake’s strategy for this is to let the whole thing go, and have Taylor promote the movie… it would just add fuel to the fire,” one replied.
Another speculates: ‘I think she’s too smart to support a promotional campaign for a film that focuses on the issue of domestic violence when her best friend decided to publicise it by making sure enough attention was given to her brand of alcohol.’
A third noted that while promoting Kravitz’s film, Swift added a warning, so “her PR team definitely knows about the drama and is very carefully avoiding it.”
Her silence is a little unusual as she and Lively have fostered a close friendship over the past nine years.

The Bad Blood hitmaker even included the names of Lively and Reynolds’ three oldest children in her song, Betty, from her 2020 album Folklore.
Accepting her third Album of the Year award in 2021, she praised Lively’s children during her speech.
“I want to thank James, Inez and Betty and their parents, who are the second and third people I listen to for every new song I write,” she gushed.
Swift and Lively have been close friends since 2015, with the pop star recently revealing that she is godmother to her friend and Reynolds’ children.
Over the past two years, Lively has taken her daughters to several Eras Tour shows to see Swift perform live.
In 2022, Swift chose Lively to direct the music video for her song, I Bet You Think About Me.
