Ryan Reynolds' favorite Taylor Swift song is no surprise to anyone who has been following their friendship the last 10 years, because it has an incredibly special meaning for the actor.
In a new interview the Deadpool star was joined by Hugh Jackman and Shaun Levy, and the three were asked questions to determine how well they knew each other. One question asked what Ryan's favorite Taylor Swift song was, and Hugh confidently claimed he "knew the answer to this," calling out "We Are Never Getting Back Together".

Ryan then revealed it was "Betty," a song from Taylor's eighth album Folklore which uses the names of his three daughters: James, Betty and Inez.

"I am in my Folklore and Evermore eras," Ryan quipped.
Ryan and wife Blake Lively are parents to daughters James, nine, Inez, seven, Betty, four, plus a fourth child whose name or sex they've yet to reveal. Inez and Betty's names were first revealed in the "Cruel Summer" singer's song "Betty", from the 2020 album Folklore, while James also featured on the Reputation track "Gorgeous," with her baby voice appearing at the very beginning.

When James, Inez and Betty attended the Madrid Eras Tour, she called them out by name, as she said, with a smile on her face: "I have to say that on Folklore, some of my favorite characters are named James, Inez and Betty."

However, Ryan hinted that their fourth baby's name has not been teased, telling Hoda Kotb earlier in 2024: "We always wait for Taylor to tell us the child's name. We'll say this, we're still waiting."
