Taylor Swift wears many hats — award-winning songwriter, leader of a highly-successful international tour, cat mom — but there's another important role she holds you may not be aware of. She is also a godmother to the children of some of her famous friends.
On Thursday (July 25), Swift shared an equal parts sweet and hilarious Instagram Story celebrating Ryan Reynolds for his newest film Deadpool & Wolverine, which came out Friday (July 26), per People. In the tribute, she revealed that she is the godmother to his kids with wife and Swift's close friend Blake Lively: 9-year-old James, 7-year-old Inez, 4-year-old Betty and 1-year-old Olin. Reynolds even recently joked about how Swift's babysitting rate costs a fortune.
"Shout out to [Reynolds' character] Wade Wilson, aka my godkids' sperm donor!" she wrote alongside a photo of her with the couple as well as Hugh Jackman and director Shawn Levy.
Elsewhere in the tribute, the "Fortnight" singer hailed Reynolds as one of her "best friends" and praised him for his hard work and dedication in the making of the new film.
"Over the past few years I have watched one of my best friends on this planet pour every bit of his heart, soul, sweat, time, energy, jokes, pain, joy, rebellion, darkness, and magic into this film. He's created the best work of his life, and this film feels like an actual joy portal, a wild escape from reality, and an abs sandwich. I don't know how he did it," she gushed, before joking "that's just Hugh [Jackman] for you," referencing Reynolds' friend and Deadpool & Wolverine costar.
In addition to Lively and Reynolds' kids, Swift is also the godmother to the 9-year-old son of her close friend Jaime King, with King previously explaining to People that Swift is "the kind of person I want to be the guide and the spiritual protector of my child."
