Taylor Swift showed her support for the latest projects from two of her friends on Friday.
While she made waves for not promoting her good friend Blake Lively’s new film, It Ends With Us, which features her 2020 song My Tears Ricochet, the 34-year-old pop star did compliment Zoe Kravitz on her directorial debut, Blink Twice.
“This movie is incredible,” the 14-time Grammy winner said of the new psychological thriller, which Kravitz co-wrote with E.T. Feigenbaum. “Suspenseful, twisted, wickedly funny and visually stunning.”
She continued, “The performances are phenomenal. Zoe Kravitz conceived this, wrote it, obsessed over every detail, and directed it with such a clear and bold vision. I am so blown away by what she has accomplished here and I can’t wait for everyone to discover this film and this brilliant filmmaker.”
The Fortnight filmmaker also shared a warning for Blink Twice, warning her followers that the film contained “adult themes and violent depictions, including sexual violence.”

“This may be disturbing or triggering to some viewers,” Swift warned under a photo of the Blink Twice movie poster, which featured a photo of Channing Tatum.
The billionaire, who concluded the European leg of her Eras Tour in London on Tuesday, also spoke highly of Sabrina Carpenter, who released her sixth album Short ‘n Sweet on Friday.
‘Short [check mark emoji]. Sweet [check mark emoji]. Has made an extraordinary album [check mark emoji]. Go support our girl!!’ she urged her fans.
In addition to sharing a link for the former Disney Chanel star to purchase the latest record, Swift also shared a photo of the two of them together at a Kansas City Chiefs game.
The photo was taken while cheering on Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and his team during the game 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 a photo of herself on set with Malone, 29, filming the music video for the lead single from her record, The Tortured Poets Department.
She concluded: “It’s incredible how versatile his artistry is,” she added, before complimenting him on a more personal level. “And [he’s] “Just the most down-to-earth guy there is.”
Though she raised eyebrows for not promoting her longtime friend Blake Lively’s new film, It Ends With Us, which features her 2020 song My Tears Ricochet, the 34-year-old pop star Zoe Kravitz gave a heartfelt shout-out for her directorial debut, Blink Twice.
Additionally, the billionaire 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.
“For the past few years I have watched one of my best friends on the planet pour his heart, soul, sweat, time, energy, jokes, pain, joy, rebellion, darkness and magic into this film,” Swift wrote on her Instagram Story. “He has created the best work of his life and this film feels like a true joy portal, a wild escape from reality and an abs sandwich. I don’t know how he did it.”
She then joked, “But that’s just how Hugh is!”
Swift joked about Lively and Reynolds that they were just “other random people who crashed the photo” and that she and Jackman were “too polite to ask” them to leave.
After her recent posts, many Swifties began to wonder why the superstar hasn’t publicly supported Lively’s film It Ends With Us.
After her recent posts, many Swifties began to wonder why the superstar hasn’t supported or publicly endorsed Lively’s film It Ends With Us.
After she shared her posts supporting Carpenter and Kravitz, a fan asked Reddit if ‘anyone finds it strange that Taylor openly supported Deadpool, Blink Twice, and Short n Sweet, but nothing for It Ends With Us?’
“More likely Blake asked her not to. Blake’s strategy for this is to let it all blow over, and Taylor promoting the film… would just add fuel to the fire,” one person responded.
Another speculated, “I think she’s too smart to support a promotional campaign for a movie that focuses on the topic of domestic violence when her best friend chose to promote it by making sure her brand of alcoholic beverages was given proper attention.”
A third pointed out that Swift had included a trigger warning when promoting Kravitz’s film, so “her PR team is absolutely aware of the drama and is very carefully steering clear of it.”
Her silence is somewhat unusual, considering she and Lively have had a close friendship for nine years.
