Ryan Reynolds took to Instagram on Thursday to heap praise on his close pal Taylor Swift.
The 48-year-old actor and wife Blake Lively, 37, attended the 34-year-old music sensation’s recent New Orleans shows as her international Eras Tour winds down after nearly two years.
Posting to his 54 million followers, Ryan shared outtakes from their time in Louisiana and wrote a heartfelt and humorous caption.
‘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,’ he began.
The father-of-four continued, ‘Not just because it’s one of the best things I’ve seen/heard/felt. And not only because you see the staggering and positive economic impact this tour has on small businesses all over NOLA — a town that’s been thru so much for so long.’

He expressed, ‘The main reason I’ll never forget this show is because it brings people together in so many ways. And in 2024, (where that feeling is scarce as hell) it’s a special and incredibly rare thing.’
Ryan’s followers liked the post more than 412,000 times within the first hour it was shared.
The Deadpool star added, ‘I’ve shot movies in New Orleans most of my career. It’s a special place on a normal day — but this weekend, felt like Super Bowl or Mardi Gras had a 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 with music.’
He continued, ‘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.’
The Hollywood heartthrob gushed, ‘It’s an athletic event and a collective cultural phenomenon. It’s gigantic but intimate.
‘The only bummer is she can’t be in the audience to experience what everyone else sees and feels. To watch herself up there is something I wish she could know.’
Adding his clever charm, he concluded: ‘But that isn’t physically possible and even if it were, you can’t just get tickets last minute.’
Swift performed at Caesars Superdome October 25-27 and received a warm welcome with the building decorated with a giant friendship bracelet reading ‘Taylor Swift, The Eras Tour.’

Lively and Reynolds previously attended two of the music artist’s shows in Madrid over the summer.
They brought their daughters one night and enjoyed a child-free date night at a second performance.
In September 2023, Blake brought along her two oldest children to Taylor’s Philadelphia tour stop.
She and Ryan share daughters James, nine, Inez, eight, Betty, five, and son Olin, one.
