Blake Lively was caught off guard when asked to choose her favorite Taylor Swift song during an appearance on the Australian talk show 'The Project'. The 'Green Lantern' actress, a dedicated Swiftie, found the question challenging, exclaiming, "You're gonna ask me to pick one song?! That's a wild question," according to the Daily Mail.



 

Lively and Swift's close friendship began in September 2015, following Lively's Instagram post about a L'Oreal campaign that referenced Swift's track 'Bad Blood.'

Despite initial rumors of a feud, the two bonded during Swift’s 1989 World Tour in Australia and have since become very close. Recently, Lively expressed her gratitude to Swift for honoring her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and his 'Deadpool & Wolverine' co-star Hugh Jackman in a heartfelt Instagram Story tribute.

Lively reposted Swift's story, thanking the singer and humorously noting her own lack of Grammys and sold-out stadium tours. The bond between Swift, Lively, and Reynolds has grown stronger over the years, evolving from a close friendship to a deep, familial connection.
