Fans Think Taylor Swift Revealed Name Of Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds' Baby

Taylor Swift's surprise album, folklore, is here and it without a doubt includes several Easter eggs. As Swifties continue to dissect the collection, one track appears to involve the pop titan's friends, Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively, or so fans think.

Head over to Twitter and you'll notice plenty of chatter about Swift's song, "betty," which some believe reveals the name of the Hollywood couple's third child. The track was self-produced, alongside The National's Aaron Dessner and Jack Antonoff, and hears Swift sing from the perspective of a teenager in love. Why do fans think the pair's newest edition of the family is name-dropped? Well, the cut, which has been dubbed one of "The Teenage Love Triangle" songs, includes the names of the pair's other two children: Inez, 3, and James, 4. The former's mention arrives during the pre-chorus ("You heard the rumors from Inez/ You can't believe a word she says") and the latter appears during the bridge ("She said 'James, get in, let's drive'/ Those days turned into nights").

Fans ran with the theory that if the pop titan mentioned the two kiddos, she'd surely give the pair's unborn child, whose name has yet to be revealed, a shoutout. What other name does the song mention? Look no further than its title: betty. Reynolds and Lively quietly welcomed their third child together towards the end of 2019, but have remained mostly mum on the gender and name. Scroll on below to see some of the reactions to "betty" and listen to the song for yourself!
