Did Taylor Swift Reveal Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively's Baby's Name on 'Tortured Poets'? Here Are the Possibilities

If you want to find out what Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively named their new baby, just listen to the latest Taylor Swift album.

The "Cruel Summer" singer has used the names of their first three children in a song on her Grammy-winning album Folklore, during the song "Betty." Aside from the track being named after their 4-year-old daughter, it names 9-year-old James and 7-year-old Inez.

Aside from using their names, Swift gave James his first big break in 2017 when his voice was used at the beginning of her Reputation track, "Gorgeous." With "Taylor's Version" of the album predicted to be coming out soon, it is unclear if he will be involved in the re-recording or if their youngest child will make their debut.

Their youngest child, who they reportedly welcomed in 2023, has been largely kept out of the public eye. Reynolds and Lively have not revealed the child's sex or name and have mainly kept any details private, Us Weekly reports.

Now, following the drop of Swift's The Tortured Poets Department album, Reynolds was questioned on if the tradition has continued and if the baby's name is featured somewhere in the new record.

During an appearance on the Today Show, host Savannah Guthrie asked if he could "tell us the name of your fourth child," which she then admitted that he was not going to do.

"Taylor Swift keeps dropping it into lyrics so just tell us, is the fourth child's name, the baby's name, anywhere on the new record?"

Reynolds expertly dodged the question by joking that he and his wife actually wait for her to tell them what they should name their children.

"We always wait for Taylor to tell us what the child's name is," Reynolds joked. "We'll say this, we're still waiting. So Taylor, let's maybe start. She's a prolific writer, I mean, what are we doing here? Lazy is not a word I'd attach to Taylor."

Since Reynolds did not explicitly shut down the theory that their baby's name is featured on the new record, internet sleuths immediately launched into an investigation of every name that is used on the album.

With over a dozen options, see all of the names that Swift uses throughout the album to predict if it is or will be used by the Hollywood couple in the future.

'The Tortured Poets Department'

Swift does a lot of name-dropping throughout the album's title track. Although they are all names of some of her real-life friends and colleagues, it could possibly be an undercover way to sneak in the mystery name.

Swift mentions Dylan Thomas and Patti Smith during the song's chorus, singing: "I laughed in your face and said 'You're not Dylan Thomas, I'm not Patti Smith / This ain't the Chelsea Hotel, we'rе modern idiots.'"

Swift also sings that she "delcared Charlie Puth should be a bigger artist," if the new addition to the Reynolds family is named after the "We Don't Talk Anymore" singer.

She then goes on to sing about Boygenius member Lucy Dacus and frequent collaborator Jack Antonoff later on in the song.

"Sometimes, I wonder if you're gonna screw this up with me / But you told Lucy you'd kill yourself if I ever leave / And I had said that to Jack about you, so I felt seen."

'But Daddy I Love Him'

At the beginning of "But Daddy I Love Him," which now opens the Tortured Poets Department set in the Eras Tour, Swift says the names Sarah and Hannah.

"Sarahs and Hannahs in their Sunday best / Clutchin' their pearls, sighing, 'What a mess.'"

'Clara Bow'

Swift mentions the name of two showbusiness legends, before going on to name herself in the album's closing track. Swift named the song after actress Clara Bow, before going on to sing about Stevie Nicks, which she said is meant to shed light on the entertainment industry viewing women as replaceable.

"I picked women who have done great things in the past and have been these archetypes of greatness in the entertainment industry," Swift said, according to Us Weekly. "Clara Bow was the first 'it girl.' Stevie Nicks is an icon and an incredible example for anyone who wants to write songs and make music."

While Reynolds and Lively could have named their child after Clara Bow or Stevie Nicks, the song opens up the possibility that they could have named their newborn after Swift herself.

'Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus'

In a more straightforward move, Swift named a song on the "Anthology" edition of the album "Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus," giving the couple plenty of names to choose from.

"Your hologram stumbled into my apartment / Hands in the hair of somebody in darkness / Named Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus."

'thanK you aIMee'

A much-discussed track on the album is "thanK you aIMee," which includes a track title that is capitalized specifically to call out Swift's longtime feud with Kim Kardashian. While it seems unlikely that Reynolds and Lively would name their potential daughter after the Skims owner, Aimee might be a nice addition to the family.

"All that time you were throwin' punches, it was all for nothin' / And our town, it looks so small from way up here / Screamed, 'Thank you, Aimee' to the night sky and the stars are stunnin' / 'Cause I can't forget the way you made me heal."

'Cassandra'

Swift named another song on the "Anthology" edition "Cassandra." The song seemingly references the Salem Witch Trials, or a similar historical event where a woman was persecuted for speaking the truth.

"So, they killed Cassandra first 'cause she feared the worst / And tried to tell the town / So they set my life in flames, I regret to say / Do you believe me now?"

'Peter'

Another "Anthology" track uses the name Peter similarly to how names were used in "Folklore." The song sings of a lost love from someone's childhood, reminiscent of "Betty."

"Forgive me, Peter / My lost fearless leader / In closets like cedar / Preserved from when we were just kids."

'Robin'

While the name is never mentioned in the song, Swift sings of a fearless child in the penultimate "Anthology" track.

"Long may you roar / At your dinosaurs / You're a just ruler / Covered in mud, you look ridiculous / And you have no idea."
