With the release of [Taylor Swift](http://time.com/5017620/taylor-swift-new-album-reputation-reactions-leak/)‘s much-anticipated new album [_Reputation_](http://time.com/5018129/taylor-swift-reputation-album-release/) also brought the confirmation of a star-making turn for a youngster: the vocals on Swift’s track “Gorgeous” belong to none other than James Reynolds, the 2-year-old daughter of noted [Swift squad](http://time.com/4847105/taylor-swift-fourth-of-july-squad-2017/) members and [professional Instagram trolls Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively](http://time.com/4759276/blake-lively-ryan-reynolds-john-legend/).

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.
