Taylor Swift's new album, Folklore, is receiving rave reviews from fans and critics alike, and the praise is well-deserved. The record is arguably her strongest in years: a stripped-down, acoustic return to form that feels instinctual, vulnerable, and nuanced.

Theories are bubbling up all over the internet about what Folklore's songs mean, and one of them involves Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. The couple, who are good friends with Swift, welcomed their third daughter last year but have yet to reveal her name. Fans think Swift spilled the beans on her new song “Betty,” and the evidence is there.
Primarily, it's rooted in the fact Swift says the names of Lively and Reynolds's two other children, James and Inez, in the song. “You heard the rumors from Inez,” she sings. “She said, 'James, get in, let's drive.'”
