That was the true, unfiltered version of our terrible stage parent pride.”Twitter: @avocadoswiftsADVERTISEMENTHowever, she went on to add that James is completely unaware of her claim to fame, and that she didn’t let Taylor credit her daughter on the song because she wants her children to have regular lives.Twitter: @avocadoswifts”Our kids have very normal lives, as much as that’s possible,” Blake explained. “So she didn’t even get a title on the album. I should be collecting royalties!”Instagram: @vancityreynoldsADVERTISEMENTIn 2020, Taylor paid tribute to Blake and Ryan’s kids for a second time as she name-checked James and her two younger sisters — Inez and Betty — in her song “Betty,” which features on the Folklore album.Instagram: @taylorswiftThe song tells the story of a high school romance gone wrong, and each of the named characters is an obvious reference to her close friends’ children, which Ryan previously said was “pretty damn amazing.”Axelle / FilmMagicADVERTISEMENT“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 told SiriusXM at the time.Amy Sussman / Getty Images“But 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,” Ryan continued.Dimitrios Kambouris / Getty Images for The Met Museum/VogueADVERTISEMENTHe went on to reveal that he and Blake “surprised” their daughters with the shoutout by not telling them that Taylor had used their names before they listened to the song for the first time.Instagram: @blakelively“They didn’t know,” Ryan said. “They had no idea.”Instagram: @vancityreynoldsADVERTISEMENTAnd Ryan has opened up about his children’s close relationship with auntie Taylor in a new interview, where he recalled the exact moment that James, Inez, and Betty learned that she was a global superstar.Dimitrios Kambouris / Getty Images for The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame“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 said in a new interview with SiriusXM.youtube.comADVERTISEMENT“And then they went to a concert one day and were like, ‘Oh, oh, this isn’t a hobby,’” Ryan laughed.Dia Dipasupil / Getty Images for iHeartMediaBut the girls remain Taylor’s number one cheerleaders, with Ryan saying that the singer’s new album Midnights is “like a religion” in their house.
