“When I grew up, women were always pitted against one another,” the Gossip Girl alum began in her heartfelt message. “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,” she continued. “It’s our job to show younger generations the power of aligning rather than dividing.”
“All this to say, @beyonce and @taylorswift neither of you has to be threatened by my pop stardom,” Lively joked. “There’s space for us all.”
The mom of four concluded her post by sharing her reaction to Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé, writing that it’s “even better than you can imagine.”

Beyoncé previously supported Swift at the premiere of her respective concert film back in October: Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour.
At the time, Swift opened up about how Beyoncé has inspired her career, sharing a boomerang of them together at the premiere on Instagram.
“I’m so glad I’ll never know what my life would’ve been like without @beyonce’s influence,” she wrote in the post’s caption. “The way she’s taught me and every artist out here to break the rules and defy industry norms. Her generosity of spirit. Her resilience and versatility. She’s been a guiding light throughout my career and the fact that she showed up tonight was like an actual fairytale. ???.”
