Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds love spending time with their friends and family when they’re not too busy with their own careers.
Their friendship with Taylor Swift has made headlines over the years. After Lively met Swift in 2015, the actress and her husband celebrated the 4th of July at Swift’s infamous party in 2016.
The pair’s friendship with Swift evolved over the years, especially when she dropped a track called “Betty” on her eighth studio album, Folklore. In the song, she references the names of Lively and Reynolds’ daughters — James, Inez and Betty. (The pair later welcomed their fourth child, Olin, in February 2023.)
In March 2021, Swift gave a shout-out to the couple during her acceptance speech at the Grammys, thanking “Betty, James and Inez” and their parents.
Swift also promoted Reynolds’ movie Deadpool and Wolverine in July, which also stars their close friend Hugh Jackman. Although she couldn’t attend the star-studded premiere in New York City, Reynolds and Lively were surrounded by their A-list friends, including Jackman and Gigi Hadid.
Tensions between Swift and Lively reportedly arose after the Grammy winner was dragged into Lively’s It Ends With Us legal drama with Justin Baldoni in 2025.
