Blake Lively Suggests Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour Should Last ’47 Hours’

Blake Lively wishes Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour show was longer!

During a Wednesday, Aug. 14 appearance on the BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show to discuss her new movie It Ends with Us, Lively, 36, praised her pal, 34, as she played a game of “Unpopular Opinion” with host Greg James.

As a caller phoned in to say Swift’s song “Love Story” shouldn’t be a part of the Eras Tour setlist, Lively responded, “Ooh that’s rough,” before questioning the caller for her reasons why.

“You just hate happiness, or joy, or just your ears? You don’t like your ears?” the actress asked.

“I think it’s a really good song, but I just think another song from Fearless should thrive in the spotlight,” the caller responded. “I think it’s on there because it’s so well-known but I think a less-known one should have its time.”

“Honestly I wish the tour, the concert, was just like 47 hours long so that all the songs could be played at all times. So my popular opinion is that all, like yes,” said Lively.

“The answer is which song, the answer is yes. What’s the setlist? Yes. My answer is yes,” she added.

“So all of the songs from beginning to end should be played?” James, 38, asked.

“Yes,” Lively replied.

Swift’s Eras Tour show lasts for approximately three and a half hours and features music from seven different albums, including Lover, 1989, and Swift’s latest The Tortured Poets Department. The pop superstar plays between 44 and 46 songs in each show.

Lively last attended her close friend’s tour back in May when she and her husband Ryan Reynolds were seen in the audience at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid, Spain.

The couple were spotted kissing in the crowd and taking a selfie as Swift — who Lively first connected with in 2015 — performed her 2019 hit “Lover” in video and photos shared by a fan page on Instagram.

Lively and Reynolds, 47, were also joined by their daughters Betty, 4, Inez, 7, and James, 9, at the show, with the family seen dancing together in a clip shared on X (formerly Twitter) by a fan.

The Gossip Girl alum also took James and Inez to the singer’s Eras Tour show in Philadelphia in May 2023.

Last month, Swift revealed that she is godmother to Lively and Reynolds’s children. In a shoutout for Reynolds’ new movie Deadpool & Wolverine on her Instagram Stories, the “Fortnight” musician referred to the actor as “My godkids’ sperm donor!”

Along with their three daughters, Lively and Reynolds also share son Olin, who was born in February 2023.
