A one-woman tornado of talent, Taylor Swift has more chart-topping hits than her Swifties can keep count of. And as the queen of turning heartbreaks into harmonies, she has garnered one of the most loyal followings of many celebrities. Among them are her long-time friends Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively. Over the years as their friendship got stronger, Swift has grown close to their family and even featured their oldest daughter in one of her tracks from 2017.
A few years ago, Reynolds took a liking to a particularly catchy tune of hers called ‘Love Story.’ Because he had some plans for that song that would put the most romantic of love stories to shame.

Back in 2020, when the father of three’s Maximum Effort was commissioned to do an advertisement for the online dating service called Match, his ingenious production went viral. After all, it featured the re-recorded snippet of Swift’s 2008 track ‘Love Story’ that the singer hadn’t even released yet. In the trailer, the song plays in the background as Satan falls in love with the fateful Covid-19-stricken year of 2020. Much like the Deadpool star’s recent cancer awareness video with Terry Crews, this one was an instant hit.
When you combine his creative genius with Swift’s talent, you’re bound to get a masterpiece. The ad presented a match that was literally made in hell in such a light that netizens ended up shipping even such a formidable couple. The fact that the short clip has garnered almost 7 million views on YouTube just goes to show the duo’s star power.
This is probably why the 46-year-old has expressed his wish to rope the 12-time Grammy winner for another project. But for his wish to come true, the Spirited actor will need Taylor Swift to appear in person this time.

Just a few months ago, Ryan Reynolds spoke of his plans to host some music gigs at his football club, Wrexham AFC’s Racecourse Ground. Among the artists he hoped to bring were none other than music moguls, Beyonce and Taylor Swift. After causing a mini-earthquake in Seattle recently, maybe Swift will fulfill her friend’s wish and bring her Swifties to wreak havoc upon the Welsh club’s grounds.
After successfully hosting the rock band, Kings of Leon in May, the stadium has proven more than capable of giving its visitors a good night. Fans can only hope that this dream of Reynolds will materialize soon. Because if the concert ends up being anything like her ongoing Eras Tour, it will surely be a sight to behold.
