Taylor Swift gave an amazing shout out to Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively’s kids James and Inez on Friday,’ when they made an appearance at her Eras Tour in Philadelphia.
As she sang the ten-minute version of ‘All Too Well’, Taylor was caught on camera looking for the family who were sitting in the VIP tent. As she made eye contact, she could be seen saying: “Hi James, hi Nezzy.”
The three-hour long show features over 45 songs spanning all ten albums from Taylor’s 17-year career, and sees the 33-year-old celebrate her eras with show-stopping outfit changes.
She kicked off the tour in March in Glendale, Arizona, and it was a triumphant return for the Grammy-winning singer, who found herself at the center of a storm in November when Ticketmaster failed to be able to manage the demand for tickets; the Eras Tour has since become a record breaking tour, as two million tickets were sold on November 15, the most tickets ever sold for an artist in a single day.

The couple are yet to reveal the name and gender of their fourth child, but are likely to do it in a subtle way when they are ready. The family have kept their children out of the public eye, although James recently made a rare appearance with her father as they watched his team Wrexham AFC play against Sheffield United.

But when she was just two-years-old, the little girl made her musical debut when she appeared on Taylor Swift’s 2017 album Reputation; Taylor and Blake has been friends since 2015.

But her younger siblings shouldn’t be too jealous, as they all were namechecked in the singer’s 2020 album Folklore on the tracks ‘Betty’ and ‘August’; the song ‘Cardigan’ is the third in the trilogy about the characters, although no names are mentioned.

Swifties around the globe are also convinced that Taylor may have confirmed the name of Blake and Ryan’s fourth child, whose date of birth remains unclear.

The lyrics read: “I see the great escape, so long, Daisy May,” and there has been no obvious connection between the name and any other character.
