Blake Lively took a break from speaking about her new film, “It Ends With Us,” to gush over her best friend Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour on Wednesday.

While playing a game of “Unpopular Opinion” at BBC’s “Radio 1 Breakfast,” a caller opinionated that “Love Story” should be cut from the Eras Tour setlist to let another “Fearless” song “thrive in the spotlight.”

“That’s rough,” the “Gossip Girl” alum, 36, immediately responded. “You just hate happiness or joy? Or just your ears? You don’t like your ears?”

Lively added that she “honestly” wishes the singer’s concerts were “47 hours long so that all the songs could be played at all times.”

“So my popular opinion is that [I want] all, like, yes. Every song,” she smiled. “What’s the setlist? Yes.”

Additionally, the actress noted that she feels like she hasn’t been to enough shows on the Eras Tour.

She then suggested that Swift play every single one of her songs to make a “47”- hour show.

Lively first took daughters James, 9, and Inez, 7, to one of the Philadelphia shows in 2023 before attending night two in Madrid with her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and their daughters, including 4-year-old Betty, in May.

The actress has always been a fierce supporter of Swift, 34, and earlier this month, she was taken aback when asked to name her favorite song from the popstar.

“You can’t ask me to pick one song. That’s a wild question,” she replied on Australia’s TV show “The Project.”

Lively’s praise for her best friend comes amid feud rumors with her “It Ends With Us” co-star and the film’s director, Justin Baldoni.

The pair reportedly had creative differences on set that created a “fracture among the filmmakers in the postproduction process.” This caused two different versions of the film to be cut in the end.

Lively even admitted during her chat with Hits Radio UK on Sunday that she was begged to take Lana Del Rey’s song “Cherry” out of the movie because it was “too charged and heavy.”

She also said she wasn’t supposed to be talking about the clash.

Baldoni, 40, continued to fuel the rumors at the “It Ends With Us” New York City premiere last week when he suggested he would hand over the director hat if a sequel were to be made.

“I think that there are better people for that one,” he told “Entertainment Tonight” on the red carpet. “I think Blake Lively’s ready to direct, that’s what I think.”

Multiple sources confirmed the feud to Pvnew, telling us that the “Jane the Virgin” alum allegedly made Lively “uncomfortable” about her postpartum body and created an “extremely difficult” environment for the entire cast.

“It’s not just Blake,” another industry insider noted. “None of the cast enjoyed working with Justin …They certainly didn’t talk to him at the premiere.”

Sure enough, Baldoni stuck by his wife’s side at the NYC premiere while Lively posed with a handful of cast members on the red carpet.
