Ryan Reynolds Just Confirmed That Taylor Swift Has Not Hidden His And Blake Lively’s Youngest Child’s Name On “The Tortured Poets Department

 According to People, the sweet sample came about after Taylor played her then-unreleased track to her friends, and after the personal performance, James became so obsessed with the word “gorgeous” that Taylor ended up recording her saying it to introduce the song. 


And when Blake and Ryan first watched Taylor perform "Gorgeous" live on her Reputation tour, they couldn’t hide their excitement and were filmed literally jumping up and down as their little girl’s voice played out to a stadium of 60,000 people. 


Blake later admitted during an appearance on Good Morning America: “We were very embarrassing. That was the true, unfiltered version of our terrible stage parent pride.”


In the song “Betty,” Taylor name-checks three characters involved in a high school romance gone wrong: James, Inez, and Betty.


Attentive listeners quickly realized that James and Inez are the names of Blake and Ryan’s oldest two children. As a result, it didn’t take long for fans to speculate that their third child, who was born nine months earlier, must be called Betty. 


Shortly after Folklore’s release, Taylor confirmed the theory during an appearance on a country radio station, where she said that all three of the characters were named after “her friends’ kids.” 


Ryan later told SiriusXM: “I mean, what an honor. We thought it was pretty damn amazing. We still do. You know, I still walk down the street and shake my head, thinking, I can’t believe that happened.”


Addressing any concern about how Taylor name-dropping his children may impact their privacy, Ryan added at the time: “The names are the names of our kids, but we trust her implicitly. She’s very sensitive to any of that stuff. And obviously, the song has nothing to do with our kids other than our kids’ names.”


He also revealed that he and Blake “surprised” their daughters with the shoutout and didn’t tell them that Taylor had used their names before they listened to the song for the first time. 


This was made all the more plausible by the fact that Taylor mentions no less than 35 potential names throughout the album — with four included in the song title “Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus” alone.


“So, Taylor, let’s maybe start,” he then teased. “She’s a prolific writer; I mean, what are we doing here? And ‘lazy’ is not a word I’d attach to Taylor!


If you’re wondering, Ryan’s revelation officially rules out the following names: Dylan, Thomas, Patti, Chelsea, Charlie, Lucy, Jack, Ken, London, Heath, West, Sarah, Hannah, Summer, Winter, Destin, Blue, Clara, Stevie, Taylor, Aston, Martin, Chloe, Sam, Sophia, Marcus, Scarlet, Aristotle, Aimee, Eve, Wolf, Faith, Cassandra, Peter, and Robin.


“I think what’s most exciting for them is that for the longest time they just thought Taylor’s just a, you know, like an aunt, like a friend of mommy and daddy that’s very, very close, almost family,” he explained in an interview with SiriusXM. 

“And then they went to a concert one day and were like, ‘Oh, oh, this isn’t a hobby,” Ryan added. 


At the time, he also revealed that his daughters were obsessed with Taylor’s album Midnights, which he said was “like a religion” in their house. 


Ryan admitted: “In fact, I’m not making this up. We are having a Taylor Swift Midnights dance party in, uh, right after this. It’s Sunday. We’re headed straight to the porch where we’re doing a full dance number set to Midnights…swear words included.”

Film Review: The Fall Guy 2024


Films about love letters to cinema have felt so satisfying over the past year, including The Fall Guy which appears with a similar theme this time.


At the end of last year, I was amazed by Falling in Love Like in the Films (2023), which was able to convey warmth through a story about a story writer. This warmth was felt again when watching the film Not Friends (2024) from Thailand.


The Fall Guy also leaves that kind of impression to a different degree. The love letter in The Fall Guy is aimed at the stuntman profession which is so crucial but rarely gets the spotlight.


David Leitch successfully explored this theme into an action genre film wrapped in a romcom that is fresh, grand, even bombastic.


If the two films I mentioned previously have a strong art house feel, The Fall Guy does not half-heartedly claim to be a popcorn show.


David Leitch seems to only want to make a light film, as if he were implementing the slogan "what's important is fun". This intention was actually detected from the script written by Drew Pearce.


The screenplay written by Pearce is very light and not special. The story writing is packaged with a generic formula, even easily found in other popcorn action films.


I won't even deny if anyone is disappointed or thinks the script for The Fall Guy sucks. Moreover, the final act of this film is structured with a fairly simple conclusion.


However, the light and light story is actually enough to support the film until the end of the story.


David Leitch, with his expertise, was able to translate the script into a film that is exciting and enjoyable to watch. He can even combine the action genre, romcom, and a little touch of mystery into a cohesive combination.


Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt also shined thanks to their charming performances. The extraordinary chemistry between the two main actors is able to deliver dialogue after dialogue with full energy.


Gosling and Blunt's satisfying acting is in line with the reputation they have built since their previous films. However, it turns out that the two actors are still able to offer new colors through the characters Colt Seavers and Jody Moreno.


Gosling and Blunt's satisfying acting is in line with the reputation they have built since their previous films. However, it turns out that the two actors are still able to offer new colors through the characters Colt Seavers and Jody Moreno.


This film even includes behind the scenes videos to appreciate how difficult and dangerous the process of working on scenes throughout the story was.


This note also gave birth to an interesting meta-film situation. The Fall Guy, which shows the struggles of stuntmen in the middle of film production, seems to mirror the film production in the real world.


David Leitch also includes lots of Easter eggs and pop culture references in dialogue and film scenes. Some of these references will be easy to find, starting from The Last of the Mohicans (1992), Notting Hill (1999), to the conflict between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard.


The Fall Guy feels even more enjoyable thanks to the appearance of two popular songs that represent the hearts of the two main characters: All Too Well (10 Minute Version) from Taylor Swift and Phil Collins' hit song entitled Against All Odds (Take A Look at me Now).


Leitch turns songs of heartbreak from two generations into material for comedy. The execution also succeeded in making the audience confused, whether they wanted to laugh or sing karaoke together.


The Fall Guy is not a film full of metaphors or complicated messages. The film only started from a simple dream to appreciate the sweat of stuntmen in the cinema industry.


However, with the high commitment of the people behind the scenes and the good performances of the cast, this film can become an exciting spectacle that is easy for everyone to enjoy.

Taylor Swift's song The Tortured Poets Department can be a guide to performing CPR


Interesting Facts about Taylor Swift's song, entitled "The Tortured Poets Department". This song, which is also the title of his latest album, can apparently be a guide in saving lives. Reporting from People, Thursday (2/5/2024), this was revealed by the American Heart Association. Apparently, this is related to the tempo of the song.


In this association's blue tick Instagram account, first aid steps in the form of CPR or cardiopulmonary resuscitation techniques are revealed.

“If you see a teenager or adult collapsed, call 911, then press hard and fast in the center of the chest, to the beat of ‘The Tortures Poets Department.’ Thank you, @taylorswift!” that's the caption in the upload.


For your information, the tempo of the song The Tortured Poets Department and the hand beats in the CPR technique are both 110 bpm—or beats per minute.


This upload was of course immediately responded to enthusiastically by Swifties - the nickname for fans of Travis Kelce's lover.

  “This was literally the best news ever. ❤️” said one Swiftie.


“I'm a swiftie & a CPR instructor! I love this 🫢🏻” commented another.


Taylor Swift also mentioned CPR





Uniquely, in the song "So Long, London" on this album, Taylor Swift also sings lyrics about CPR. However, in the song, it tells the story of the failure to perform "CPR" to revive a soulless relationship.


A fan also wrote these lyrics in the comments column: "I stopped CPR after all it's no use, the spirit was gone we would never come to."


Many fans think this song refers to the end of Taylor Swift's relationship with Joe Alwyn.


Other Songs for CPR


People noted that a number of famous songs can also be a guide for performing CPR because they have a similar tempo. The song that has been popular as a CPR guide is "Stayin' Alive" by the Bee-Gees—mainly because the title fits the purpose of CPR.


Likewise the song "Somebody Else" from The 1975, the band of Matty Healy—a man who is believed to have been close to Taylor Swift.


“Did you know that ‘π’π¨π¦πžπ›π¨ππ² 𝐄π₯𝐬𝐞’ from @the1975 has the perfect rhythm for learning CPR? ❤️ The power of music can help us maintain the right CPR rhythm, between 100-120bpm," said a tweet from the British Heart Foundation in 2022.


The Success of Taylor Swift's New Album





Taylor Swift's latest album itself has achieved extraordinary success. As previously reported, he became the first artist in history to dominate the top 14 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 simultaneously.


This achievement succeeded in surpassing the previous record he achieved through the album Midnights which dominated the top 10 charts in 2022. 

Billboard tweeted, “@taylorswift13 becomes the first artist in history to occupy all 14 #Hot100 top spots simultaneously.”
