Blake Lively, Beyonce and Taylor Swift
Blake Lively cleared up any confusion regarding her "pop stardom" status in a meaningful post celebrating and encouraging women and their accomplishments.
The A Simple Favor actress took to Instagram on Saturday, Dec. 2, to share some photos from her night out in London attending the premiere of Beyoncé's new concert film, Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé, on Nov. 30, which Taylor Swift also attended.
Alongside photos of Lively wearing a suave black mini skirt and jacket with sequin accents while partying with the two musical icons, Lively wrote, "When I grew up, women were always pit against one another. It took me until adulthood to see that the instinct for women to lift each other up to their highest potential is the norm not the exception."
"Most of my best friends are women who would’ve been packaged to me as threats or competition. It’s our job to show younger generations the power in aligning rather than dividing," she continued before joking, "All this to say, @beyonce and @taylorswift neither of you have to be threatened by my pop stardom. There’s space for us all."
Mindy Kaling commented, "??," while Amber Tamblyn said, "Love this and love you."
Lively's sister, Robyn Lively, who was spotted at the Oct. 1 Kansas City Chiefs football game with the actress and Swift, added, "I feel threatened… very, VERY threatened by them gorgeous LEGZ ????."
Fans were just as in love with Lively and her post, with a popular comment reading, "Absolute queen. ???? tired of the media pitting Taylor and Beyoncé against each other and love this so much coming from you!"
"'neither of you have to be threatened by my pop stardom' girl you ate that ??," said another.
Beyoncé's new film, Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé, officially came out in theaters on Dec. 1, documenting the creation of her Grammy-winning album Renaissance and the following tour.
