Taylor Swift‘s friendship with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds has been a fan-favorite celebrity bond for years, starting with Blake in 2015.
Taylor’s connection to the Reynolds-Lively family quickly grew, ironically beginning because of a misunderstanding.

Blake shared a heartfelt moment from Taylor‘s 1989 tour where Taylor made Blake’s niece feel like a rock star, further cementing their friendship. Blake playfully wrote, “Love my Canadian family almost as much as I love Taylor. Lively, I mean Swift. Okay, fine, we can hyphenate our last names. XO, Blake Swift Lively forever.”
Fast forward, Taylor became close with Ryan Reynolds. Who jokingly revealed in an interview that Taylor’s babysitting services might be out of their budget. Ryan quipped, “The cost of that is, I believe the accountant said, cost prohibitive, but I think what he meant was cost insane. What are you doing? I’m no longer your accountant.”
Despite the financial jest, Ryan had nothing but praise for Taylor, suggesting she would be perfect if she ever took over his role as Deadpool. “If anyone ever were to take over the role of Deadpool, actually Taylor would be very good,” he said, noting her hidden superpower: humor. “She’s one of the funniest people I’ve ever met.”
