Blake Lively has had the chance to see Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour concert multiple times now, so she’s got some feedback for her best friend. The It Ends With Us star appeared on BBC’s Radio 1 Breakfast Show on Aug. 14, where a game of “Unpopular Opinion” revealed the one change she’d make to the production.

During the segment, one Swiftie called in and said “Love Story” should be cut from the Eras Tour set list, much to the surprise of Lively, who has a very different idea for her bestie’s concert.

“I think it’s a really good song, but I just think another song from Fearless should thrive in the spotlight,” the caller clarified.

“Oh, that’s rough,” Lively responded, before joking, “You just hate happiness or joy? Or just your ears? You don’t like your ears?”

The Gossip Girl star then suggested Swift should instead extend her already 3.5-hour Eras Tour set list. “Honestly, I wish the [concert] was just, like, 47 hours long so that all the songs could be played at all times,” she said. “So my popular opinion is that [I want it] all, like, yes. … What’s the set list? Yes. My answer is yes.”

Swift’s global Eras Tour began in March 2023. With shows in North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia, the mammoth concert includes performances of songs from almost all of her studio albums. A string of famous faces have also stopped by Swift’s ongoing Eras Tour, including Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds.

Lively’s Eras Tour Stops

In May, the actor attended Swift’s Eras Tour show multiple times. First, she caught the concert in Philadelphia, with her two oldest daughters, James, 7, and Inez, 6, in tow. Two weeks later, all three were back in the audience, plus 5-year-old Betty, as Swift performed in Madrid, Spain.

In one viral fan video, the family were seen dancing along to 2014’s “Shake it Off,” and the singer also gave an onstage shoutout to Lively and Reynolds’ girls. “I have to say that on Folklore, some of my favorite characters are named James, Inez, and Betty,” she told the crowd, referencing the song “Betty.”

The following day, Lively and her daughters attended Swift’s second Madrid show, this time with Reynolds. In a fan video posted on Instagram, the couple were spotted sharing a kiss, taking selfies together, and singing along to Swift’s 2019 song “Lover.”

Reynolds previously shared his excitement over attending the Eras Tour, describing it as the “best concert on planet Earth” during an appearance on Today with Hoda & Jenna.
