Taylor Swift fans think the singer may have shared the name of Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ fourth child in lyrics for a song on her new album Midnight.
Swift’s 10th album dropped on Friday, October 21, and her fans quickly picked up on lyrics from the track “You’re On Your Own, Kid”.
“I see the great escape, so long, Daisy May / I picked the petals, he loves me not,” she sings on the track. “Something different bloomed, writing in my room / I play my songs in the parking lot.”
After the album was released, one fan tweeted: “Wait Daisy May is the name of Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds youngest child?”.
Another wrote: “Our guess: Taylor has used the names of Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ children as characters in her songs before, could she have revealed the name of their fourth child here? ?.”
Lively and Reynolds already have three daughters. Swift previously revealed their names, James, Inez and Betty, during the release of her album Folklore in July 2020. She’d also included James’ voice in her 2017 track “Gorgeous”.
“You heard the rumors from Inez / You can’t believe a word she says,” Swift sang on her “Betty” track. “I was walking home on broken cobblestones / Just thinking of you when she pulled up like / A figment of my worst intentions / She said ‘James, get in, let’s drive.’”
In a radio interview in August 2020, Swift confirmed she had used their names in the track. “I named all the characters in this story after my friends’ kids, and I hope you like it,” she said.
Reynolds shared his thoughts on Swift using his daughters’ names in her tracks in August 2021.
“The names are the names of our kids,” he said in a SiriusXM Town Hall special with Jess Cagle. “We trust her implicitly. She’s very sensitive to any of that stuff. And obviously the song has nothing to do with our kids other than our kids’ names. But I mean, what an honour.”
