In her world of glitz, glamour, and sold-out arenas, Taylor Swift is more than just a pop titan. Away from the flashing lights and chart-topping hits, the singer shows a softer side, quietly weaving herself into the lives of those closest to her. Known for her tender, personal touch, Swift has formed bonds that go beyond fame and lean toward maternal instincts. While many know about her connection to Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively’s kids as a godmother, there is another child who holds a special place in her heart, one she lovingly also calls her godchild.

Taylor Swift balances superstardom with sweetness, quietly integrating herself into the lives of a handful of lucky ones.

Taylor Swift's role as a godmother extends beyond her friendship with Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively. While she is a godmother to the couple's four kids, James, Inez, Betty, and Olin, she also fulfils the same responsibility for her pal Jamie King’s son, Leo Thames, who was born in 2015. King has praised Swift for her unwavering support in bringing up her kid. Swift has been actively involved in the child’s life, making special visits to him and even donating to Cedars-Sinai Hospital in honor of his health milestone.

Taylor Swift’s dedication to her godchildren is evident through her heartfelt gestures. During her 1989 World Tour, she dedicated the song 'Never Grow Up' to her godson, Leo Thames, showcasing her deep affection for him. Additionally, Swift has immortalized her bond with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds' daughters by naming characters after them in her song 'Betty' from 'Folklore,' blending personal connection with artistry. Her bond with the three girls, as well as their brother Olin, who was born too late to find a mention on Swift's said song, however, remains to be seen as the singer is said to be on shaky waters with their parents amid the It Ends With Us controversy enveloping them.

Once inseparable, Taylor Swift’s friendship with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds now seems distant. Does she still hold her godmother role for their kids?

Taylor Swift's close friendship with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, as mentioned earlier, has faced significant strain due to Lively’s ongoing legal battle with her It Ends With Us co-star and director, Justin Baldoni. The high-stakes drama surrounding the case has reportedly forced Swift to maintain a distance from the couple, and she has done so by not appearing alongside them in a while. The shift in the grown-ups’ relationship, however, is also speculated to have jeopardized Swift’s connection with her godchildren, the kids of the celebrity pair.

While there is no clarity on how deep the rift is between Taylor Swift and Blake Lively, and Ryan Reynolds, there is a song on the singer’s upcoming album titled 'Ruin the Friendship,' which fans speculate may address the matter. Whether it does or not remains to be seen; however, fans will expect Swift to at least continue being the godmother to their kids. Her relationship with Leo Thames, on the other hand, has never raised any questions, as it remains as intact as ever.
