“It’s our task to reveal more youthful generations the power in lining up instead of dividing,” wrote Blake Lively after attending Beyoncé’s “Renaissance” film premiere.

Blake Lively is showering love on Taylor Swift and Beyonce following the stars’ respective hit tours and concert movie premieres.
On Saturday (Dec. 2), the Chatter Girl alum took to Instagram after she and Swift attended the London premiere of Beyonce’s Renaissance: A Film By Beyoncé earlier in the week to share a powerful message about female empowerment.
“When I grew up, women were always pitted against one another. It took me until adulthood to see that the impulse for women to lift each other up to their highest potential is the norm not the exception,” Lively captioned an image gallery of herself at the premiere. “Most of my friends are women who would’ve been packaged to me as threats or competitors. It’s our task to show younger generations the power in lining up instead of dividing.”
She jokingly added, “All this to say, @beyonce and @taylorswift neither of you need to be threatened by my pop fame. There’s room for all of us.”
The A Simple Favor starlet’ heartfelt note arrives amidst Swift and Beyonce’s record-breaking Eras and Renaissance tours, as well as the launches of their new concert films.
Lively’s post included a carousel of photos from the London premiere of Beyoncé’s Renaissance concert film on Thursday (Nov. 30). One picture features the actress alongside Bey and another shows her posing with Swift.
A day earlier, Swift shared her own pictures from the premiere, including a photo of her standing alongside Beyonce. “Got invited to London by The Queen … ✨ ✨ Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé is in theaters now !!” Swift captioned a series of pictures.
Swift’s attendance at the London premiere came after Bey supported Tay at her Eras Tour concert film premiere in Los Angeles in October.
“I’m so glad I’ll never know what my life would’ve been like without @beyonce’s influence,” Swift wrote after the event, sharing a gif of her and Bey posing in theater seats. “The way she’s taught me and every artist out here to break rules and defy industry standards.”
