In 2019, the actor’s daughter James —who she shares with mega movie star Ryan Reynolds — was featured on Swift’s hit song Gorgeous.

Over the weekend, Lively and Reynolds attended Swift’s Saturday Night Live Appearance in New York.

The Love Story singer has had a busy week with the re-release of her 2012 album Red.

The album has been trending online after Swift released the 10-minute version of All Too Well, which many fans speculate is about her ex Jake Gyllenhaal.

Several lyrics throughout the 10-minute version of the breakup ballad suggests it is about the Brokeback Mountain actor.

“You said if we had been closer in age maybe it would have been fine / And that made me want to die,” Swift sings during one part of the song.

“And I was never good at telling jokes, but the punch line goes / I’ll get older, but your lovers stay my age.”

Swift and Gyllenhaal dated in 2010 when she was 20 and he was 29 — the reason for their break-up was reportedly their age difference.
