Jamie McCarthy—Getty Images  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Jul 30, 2018 3:26 PM UTC [Ryan Reynolds](http://time.com/5345788/ryan-reynolds-comic-con/) and [Blake Lively](http://time.com/5293835/ryan-reynolds-and-blake-lively-tweets/) may be two of Hollywood’s most golden stars — but they’re also proud parents to daughters Inez and James, and friends of Taylor Swift. So at Swift’s Gillette Stadium show on Saturday night in Massachusetts, Reynolds and Lively shared an especially excited moment when the song “Gorgeous” came on: their daughter James contributed gurgling [baby-coo vocals](http://time.com/5018625/taylor-swift-confirms-ryan-reynolds-blake-lively-baby-voice-on-gorgeous/) to the _Reputation_ track, a fun fact revealed last year after the song was released as one of the album’s singles. Video captured by fans of the pair during Swift’s introduction to the song proves they were not only amped up on the experience of being at Swift’s [popular stadium show,](http://time.com/5340183/taylor-swift-stuck-tour/) but also particularly eager to hear the tune that their family is forever a part of. You can see Lively filming both Reynolds beside her and Swift onstage, her face clearly thrilled when the opening chords of “Gorgeous” begin to play. Swift, Lively and Reynolds are longtime pals, with their friendship documented going back years. (Remember Swift’s once-iconic [Fourth of July](http://time.com/4393176/july-4th-taylor-swift-celebrities/) parties? Lively attended while pregnant with her younger daughter Inez back in 2016.) > [](https://twitter.com/iknowplacesmp3/status/1023406722491277313) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5352658/ryan-reynolds-blake-lively-taylor-swift/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5352658/ryan-reynolds-blake-lively-taylor-swift/"},"headline":"Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively Were the Proudest Parents at the Taylor Swift Concert","datePublished":"2018-07-30T15:26:52.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:54:03.888Z","description":"Taylor Swift's \"Gorgeous\" holds special meaning for the parents","url":"https://time.com/5352658/ryan-reynolds-blake-lively-taylor-swift/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt44a41d9fdf933dca/698936988fd2ee753835c425/blake-lively-ryan-reynolds.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt44a41d9fdf933dca/698936988fd2ee753835c425/blake-lively-ryan-reynolds.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"\"A Quiet Place\" New York Premiere","caption":"\"A Quiet Place\" New York Premiere","creditText":"Jamie McCarthy—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5352658/ryan-reynolds-blake-lively-taylor-swift/","name":"Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively Were the Proudest Parents at the Taylor Swift Concert"}}]}] ```
