How Blake Lively and Taylor Swift’s Creative Friendship Began in 2015

Blake and Taylor first crossed paths publicly in 2015, after Blake posted a playful behind-the-scenes photo from a L’Oréal campaign shoot featuring fellow actresses like Julianne Moore, Naomi Watts, Karlie Kloss, and Eva Longoria. Her caption—lightheartedly referencing Taylor’s “Bad Blood” era—was briefly misinterpreted by fans.

Still, Blake quickly clarified the joke and used the moment to express her genuine admiration for the singer.

Instead, Blake used the moment to gush about her admiration for Taylor, joking that she was “obsessed” and even playfully riffing on a Swift–Lively hyphenated last name.
