Never, ever getting that answer right? Maybe to Hugh Jackman!
During an interview for Variety, Deadpool and Wolverine co-stars Ryan Reynolds and Jackman and his director, Shawn Levy, were asked several questions to test how well they knew each other. Naturally, when it comes to Reynolds, the topic of Taylor Swift emerged.
The trio were asked what Reynolds’ favorite Taylor Swift song was — and while his answer probably won’t surprise Swift fans, it wasn’t what Jackman expected.
O X-Men The alum was certain Reynolds’ first choice was “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” as the actor apparently sang it “word for word” in Jackman’s face on the last day of filming. Deadpool and Wolverinereleased on July 26. Although Levy guessed “Gorgeous”, neither was right.
Instead, the father of four proclaimed his favorite was “Betty,” from Swift’s 2020 album, Folklore. It’s an appropriate choice considering Swift used both his and his wife’s names. Blake Livelythree children born at the time — James, Inez and Betty — in their lyrics. The couple reportedly welcomed her fourth child, whose name has not been released, in 2023. Like him joked in an interview in May Today with Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb“We’re always waiting for Taylor to tell us what the child’s name is going to be… We’re still waiting, so Taylor, maybe we can get started, you know.”
Reynolds added: “She’s a prolific writer. I mean, what are we doing here? And lazy is not a word I would associate with Taylor.”
Although the actor is a longtime friend of the world-famous singer, his famous wife considers herself Swift’s biggest fan.
“No, no, I really am,” the It Ends With Us actress told ET in June. Really excited helped secure Swift’s 2020 track, “My Tears Ricochet”, for the trailer promoting the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s best-selling novel, set to premiere on August 9
“You could have put any song on it, like, her music is just, like, unmatched,” Lively said of Swift’s discography. “Her writing is so beautiful and it’s so personal and you can feel it, you can feel it in the way she sings. You can feel it in her lyrics.”
No need to listen to Inez’s rumors: You’ve got Lively and legions of Swifties to vouch for Swift’s musical prowess… and Reynolds to sing along.
