Taylor Swift—she’s a pop superstar, Time’s Person of the Year and billionaire. Oh, and honorary aunt to Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ four kids.
In a newly surfaced fan video, Tay Tay can be seen having a truly adorable interaction with the eldest three kids—James, 9, Betty, 7, and Inez, 4. As Swift leaves the stadium of the Eras Tour, she holds hands with James, while waving to the crowd. She then leans down to whisper into the little girl’s ear, before guiding the three children towards the exit.
As the fan wrote in text on the video, “Aunty duties calling after 3 hours of performance.”

Lively and Reynolds brought their three eldest daughters to Swift’s concert in Madrid on May 30. In other fan videos, the girls were seen jumping and dancing as Swift performed. During the Folklore section of the show, Swift even gave the girls a personalised shout-out. “I have to say that on Folklore, some of my favorite characters are named James, Inez and Betty,” she said—Betty, James and Inez are all the names of characters in the song “Betty.” Another fan video showed Lively and Reynolds having a cute little moment, sharing a kiss during Swift’s performance of “Lover.” Clearly, there was something for everyone in the family during the show!
Swift, Lively and Reynolds have a long-standing friendship. Not only did Swift name characters in her songs after their children, Reynolds joked that their fourth child, born in 2023, actually hasn’t been named yet, as they’re waiting for honorary aunt Swift to make the decision.
“We always wait for Taylor to tell us what the child’s name is, and I’ll say this: We’re still waiting,” said Reynolds on the Today show.

Reynolds also revealed that his kids actually see Swift more as an aunt than a global pop superstar. “For the longest time, they just thought Taylor’s just a, you know, like an aunt, like a friend of Mommy and Daddy that’s very, very close, almost family,” he said during an interview with SiriusXM. “And then they went to a (Swift) concert one day and were like, ‘Ohhhhh, this isn’t a hobby.’”
