The song’s opening features a baby voice saying the word “Gorgeous,” which lead to widespread speculation about who the identity of the child could be. _Reputation_‘s album booklet, however, cleared up any confusion with its clear credit of the young talent: “Baby intro voice by James Reynolds.” While there are still [plenty of unanswered questions](http://time.com/4918411/taylor-swift-look-what-you-made-me-do-music-video-references/) we have about _Reputation_, at least one of the album’s mysteries is solved. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5018625/taylor-swift-confirms-ryan-reynolds-blake-lively-baby-voice-on-gorgeous/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5018625/taylor-swift-confirms-ryan-reynolds-blake-lively-baby-voice-on-gorgeous/"},"headline":"Taylor Swift Just Confirmed the Key Identity of a V.I.P.
