Taylor Swift showed some love to pals Zoë Kravitz and Sabrina Carpenter new projects Friday, while noticeably still avoiding any promo for her best friend Blake Lively’s new movie, “It Ends With Us.”
The Grammy winner, 34, first shared a poster for Kravitz’s new film, “Blink Twice,” starring Channing Tatum, and wrote over it, “This film is incredible. Thrilling, twisted, wickedly funny, and visually stunning.”
“The performances are phenomenal,” she added. “Zoë Kravitz conceptualized this, wrote it, obsessed over every detail, and directed it with such a clear and bold vision.”
Swift continued to sing her friend’s praises, concluding, “I’m so blown away by what she’s accomplished here and I can’t wait to watch everyone discover this film and this brilliant filmmaker.”
The “Love Story” singer then gave Carpenter — who previously opened up for her on the Eras Tour — a shout-out due to the release of the rising pop star’s new album, “Short n’ Sweet.”
Swift posted via her Instagram Story a photo of her and Carpenter, 25, and wrote underneath it, “Short [check mark], Sweet [check mark], Has made an extraordinary album [check mark].”
The pop superstar then provided a link for fans to buy the album, and wrote on it, “Go Support Our Girl!!”
“Over the past few years I have 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,” the “Love Story” singer wrote via her Instagram Story in July.
“He’s created the best work of his life, and this film feels like an actual joy portal, a wild escape from reality, and an abs sandwich.”
She then joked that she was talking about Reynold’s co-star Hugh Jackman, adding, “I don’t know how he did it. But that’s Hugh for you!”
Because of Swift’s various displays of affection for her pals, her silence on Lively’s recent box-office hit, “It Ends With Us,” has become that much more evident.
“taylor literally promoting deadpool and wolverine then blink twice but not it ends with us is so funny to me,” one fan wrote via X on Friday.
Another agreed , “taylor promoting deadpool, blink twice, and sabrina carpenter but not it ends with us 😭”
Some have speculated that perhaps Swift wanted to avoid all the drama that has come along with the “It Ends With Us” promo tour.
Other insiders claimed that Baldoni, 40, clashed with Lively, who was a producer on the film, over creative differences concerning the script and final edits.
However, Swift showed her allegiance to the “Gossip Girl” alum in a major way by allowing her song “My Tears Ricochet” to be featured in a scene and the trailer for “It Ends With Us.”
“She was with me throughout this whole process, so I think that, for better or worse, she experienced the whole thing with me,” Lively said of Swift on “CBS Mornings” earlier this month.
“This was actually — it’s quite a small budget movie. … So we never thought, like, our eyeballs were not that big to think that we could put one of her songs in the movie and it had to be.”
