Ryan Reynolds recently shared heartfelt admiration for Taylor Swift's Eras Tour after attending her New Orleans performance with his wife, Blake Lively. The Hollywood actor took to Instagram to express his amazement at the experience, describing it as "one of the best things I've seen/heard/felt." Reynolds praised Swift's show for its unique power to connect people in "a special and incredibly rare" way, noting that such a unifying experience is especially scarce in 2024.
Reynolds' enthusiasm was evident as he shared glimpses of his time in Louisiana with his 54 million followers. Alongside playful photos, he wrote, "When I'm 95 yrs old and my wife and kids wheel me outside and into the sun so I can drink a sandwich, I'll still be talking about seeing this show in New Orleans." The actor also reflected on the positive impact Swift's tour has on local economies, calling attention to its significance in places like New Orleans, a city that has endured numerous challenges over the years.
The Deadpool star, who has filmed multiple movies in New Orleans, remarked that the tour created a vibe reminiscent of "Super Bowl or Mardi Gras had a baby with music." He expressed deep appreciation for Swift's commitment to her craft, describing the tour as an "athletic event and a collective cultural phenomenon." According to Reynolds, Swift's show combines grandeur with intimacy, creating an unforgettable experience for her fans. He humorously added that the only downside to Swift's performance is that "she can't be in the audience to experience what everyone else sees and feels," a wish he jokingly said is "not physically possible."
During their time at the show, Reynolds and Lively enjoyed two evenings—one as a family outing with their daughters and another as a child-free date night. This isn't the couple's first time supporting Swift on her record-breaking tour; they've attended multiple performances since it began in early 2023. Swift, who is godmother to the couple's daughters and son, even gave a shout out to the trio during her Madrid concert, acknowledging how her album Folklore references characters named after their children, James, Inez, and Betty.
In closing, Reynolds praised Swift's dedication, admitting, "I don't understand the unimaginable work, care, talent, and discipline @taylorswift generates to create an experience like this because I'm not a scientist."
