During her Eras Tour stop in Madrid, Taylor Swift created a special moment by giving a heartfelt shoutout to Blake Lively’s daughters. The iconic singer, known for her deep connections with her fans and friends, took a moment to acknowledge Lively’s children, who were present in the audience. Strumming her guitar, Swift said, “I have to say that on Folklore, some of my favorite characters are named James, Inez, and Betty,” a direct nod to her song “Betty” from the album Folklore. This touching mention delighted the crowd and highlighted the close bond between Swift and the Lively-Reynolds family.
Lively’s Family in Attendance
Blake Lively, accompanied by her daughters James (9), Inez (7), and Betty (4), was seen enjoying the concert from the VIP section at Estadio Santiago Bernabéu.

Ryan Reynolds’ Playful Tease
Although Ryan Reynolds was not visible in the fan footage, he reportedly joined his wife and daughters in the VIP area. The “Deadpool” actor had previously expressed his excitement about attending Swift’s concert during an appearance on “Today with Hoda & Jenna.” He humorously mentioned that while his wife and kids had attended multiple shows, this would be his first, as work commitments had kept him away. Reynolds also joked about Swift’s influence on their children’s names, saying, “We always wait for Taylor to tell us what the child’s name is, and I’ll say this: We’re still waiting,” referencing their yet-to-be-revealed fourth child.
Longstanding Friendship
The relationship between Swift and the Lively-Reynolds family is well-documented. Swift has not only named characters in her songs after their daughters but also featured a voice recording of James in her song “Gorgeous” from the 2017 album Reputation. This friendship has delighted fans, who appreciate the personal touches Swift includes in her music. The family’s presence at the concert and Swift’s special shoutout further cemented their close bond and added a personal touch to the star-studded event.
