In the Western terrain of the world, Hollywood resonates as an adamant ally to the music industry that fosters a close relationship between figures from both realms. Ryan Reynolds and Taylor Swift celebrated for their contributions to film and music, have consistently spurred economic growth and made the buzz for their philanthropic endeavors that, in turn, have elevated them as influential figures beyond their respective fields. While tabloids have often highlighted their positive influence, few considered their impact on the future until recently, when Michael J. Fox commended them. 

For Fox, artistic expression transcends boundaries, a lesson Reynolds and Swift embraced early in their careers and hence, their positive influence is poised to endure. 

In a recent conversation with PEOPLE Magazine for their 50th-anniversary issue, when was asked about the Hollywood figures who could potentially impact the next half-century even more, Michael J. Fox named Ryan Reynolds and Taylor Swift. As per him, “Reynolds could be a really important person” since his wit and talent allow him to “leverage things and make them succeed in other areas.” Furthermore, his “philanthropic” side has convinced Fox that “he’s positioned to really do amazing things”.

As per the star, the next personality to shape the industry’s future could be Taylor Swift since he believes “she’s going to be a really important person”. Her biggest takeaway for Fox rests in the way “she moves the economy" and “changes the way the world works”. Furthermore, Fox also finds it amazing how she addresses political issues publicly. Fox did not shy away from confessing how his perspective on Swift has gone “full circle” since he "didn't have an opinion about Taylor Swift” when he first heard about her but now has “a wife and four kids who worship her."

Fox’s stamp of approval may have come as a surprise but in reality, it is not that shocking after all. Since Reynolds’ advocacy for philanthropic ventures has often found more than one artist in contact with him to join the cause, Swift’s economic impact has turned the government’s attention to noteworthy worries in the record industry. 

Ryan Reynolds is a famous name in Hollywood but the way he utilizes that fame is possibly what landed him in Michael J. Fox’s good books. The actor, who has long been in ties with the Terry Fox Foundation, has used his voice to garner and attract more donors for their cause. Not only so, but for the past few years, he has even helped to design their annual fundraiser’s t-shirt. However, what stood as a highlight for this year was his getting his superhero friends Hugh Jackman and Shawn Levy on board for larger reach.

Taylor Swift, on the other hand, brought light to an increasing worry about pricey tickets, prompting the Justice Department to file an antitrust lawsuit against Live Nation and Ticketmaster, following their glitch during a presale event in November 2022 that left fans ticketless for Eras Tour. Furthermore, she has been the reason for an undeniable economic boost for the host nations, and her revenue from the tour has frequently found a place in donations. Hence, with their visions so clear for the bigger picture and their influence attesting to the same, it is quite understandable why Fox chose them instead of the others.
