A source close to Taylor told DailyMail.com said: ‘Taylor and Beyonce have been chatting a lot since Beyonce surprised her at her Eras film premiere. They would seem like unlikely friends but the two of them truly get each other. In a world of copycats and wannabes both are at the top of their game.

‘Beyonce cemented such a special place in Taylor’s heart in 2009 when she shut Kanye down. They both know now that karma took care of Kanye exactly as they believed it would. 

‘At the time, Taylor was not the powerhouse she is today. It was just so showing of who Beyonce really is and ever since that moment the two of them have celebrated each other’s successes. Their music is very different. Their fans are very different, and their lives are so different.

‘But one thing that they can both relate on is that they are a master of their craft. There is nothing that Taylor would not do for Beyonce, and she will go to bat form this woman until the day she dies.’

A source told The Sun that it was ‘the most tightly guarded premiere this year’ as it brought Swifties and the Beyhive together.

‘Because of the stars’ fan bases, crowd control measures were put in place to make sure everyone was safe,’ they dished.

‘I am sick and tired of people attacking her,’ Knowles wrote in a lengthy caption to the video in which she denied commenters’ concerns 

‘I’m so glad I’ll never know what my life would’ve been like without @beyonce’s influence,’ she captioned the clip. ‘The way she’s taught me and every artist out here to break 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.’

Beyonce’s London bash comes after the Los Angeles premiere of the Renaissance film, which was held at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater.

It attracted a star-studded crowd including her Destiny’s Child bandmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams.

And the film’s latest trailer gave a peek at Beyonce reuniting with the former members on stage for an epic performance. 

The LA premiere was a private affair with guests receiving a ‘save the date’ invite that only included the time and a dress code which requested ‘cosy opulence’.

According to Variety, the location of the theatre was only revealed to Beyonce’s guests just 24 hours before the screening took place.

The publication reported that guests were advised to ‘take a ride share to an address in Beverly Hills, where they were then directed to the location of the screening’.

An announcer told guests no photos or recordings were permitted in the theater as Beyonce entered when the lights were dimmed.

For her big night, the multi-Grammy Award-winner turned heads in a rear-length platinum wig and a stunning silver Versace gown.

Beyonce’s premiere guests included mom Tina as well as Lizzo, Janelle Monáe and Lori Harvey.

Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé will hit theaters on December 1. 

Photos of Beyonce rocking her blonde wig from the LA premiere surfaced online Sunday and she soon faced skin ‘lightening’ accusations.

Some had suggested that the hitmaker ‘was white now,’ while others complained that ‘she’s not a Black woman!’ 

Her mother Tina Knowles-Lawson furiously struck out at online critics in an Instagram video posted Tuesday.

‘I am sick and tired of people attacking her,’ Knowles wrote in a lengthy caption to the video in which she denied commenters’ concerns.

She also compared her daughter’s outfit to styles worn by Black entertainers going back at least as far as Etta James.

‘Came across this today and decided to post it after seeing all of the stupid ignorant self, hating racist statements about her, lightening her skin, and wearing platinum hair wanting to be white,’ Knowles began her lengthy caption.

She explained that Beyoncé’s look was solely for her Renaissance documentary, ‘where the whole theme is silver with silver hair, a silver carpet, and suggested silver attire and you bozos decide that she’s trying to be a white woman and is bleaching her skin?’

‘How sad is it that some of her own people continue the stupid narrative with hate and jealousy,’ she seethed. ‘Duh, she wore silver hair to match her silver dress as a fashion statement clown. ALIEN Superstar duh!’

She also castigated Black commenters on social media who had accused her daughter of trying to lighten her skin, calling them ‘bozos.’

‘Lying and faking and acting like you’re so ignorant that you don’t understand That black women have worn platinum hair since the Etta James days,’ she wrote. ‘I just went and looked at all the beautiful talented black celebrities who have worn platinum hair and it has been just about everyone of them at one time or another. Are they all trying to be white?’

Knowles added that she was ‘sick and tired of people attacking her.’

‘Every time she does something that she works her a** off for and is a statement of her work ethic, talent and resilience. Here you sad little haters come out the woodwork,’ she wrote.

She accused her daughter’s critics of perpetuating ‘Jealousy and racism, sexism, double standards,’ instead of ‘celebrating a sister or just ignoring if you don’t like her.’
