My parents only wrote my name on a cake, SMH!
Even if you lived under a rock in the ends of the earth, you would know that Taylor Swift released a surprise album, folkore, this week.
And Swifties, as usual, have been dissecting each and every song, searching for clues and putting together the puzzle pieces their queen left for them to find.
Some fans suspected that the song had something to do with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. And while we don’t know the validity of the other theories, this one turned out to be true!
The lyrics of the song make reference to three people: James, Inez and, of course, Betty.
James and Inez are the names of Ryan and Blake’s daughters, who are 5 and 3 years old, respectively.
In May 2019, the couple revealed that they were expecting their third child. Blake released her tummy on the Detective Pikachu Red carpet and quietly gave birth later that year, but she’s been a mom in every detail … until now.
People confirmed that Betty is, in fact, the name of Blake and Ryan’s third child.
Although the revelation is unexpected, it is not surprising. Taylor has been friends with the superstar couple for years.
In 2018 Taylor even featured the voice of her daughter James on “Gorgeous” from her sixth album, Reputation.
And while that is a theory about the song uncovered, there are many things that are still ~ ambiguous ~. For example, many people thought the lyrics indicated that Taylor was dating as weird.
Still others speculated that there was a possibility that Taylor’s boyfriend Joe Alwyn secretly co-wrote the song with her.
There was even a super interesting (and compelling, tbh) theory that three songs on the album, including “Betty”, were connected.
Well, at least one of the many mysteries has been solved! Time to return to work in approx. 723488 other clues he left behind! Have more theories about “Betty” or folklore? Tell us in the comments!
