The Eras Tour has made its way to New Orleans, with Taylor Swift’s close friends, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, in attendance to support her! On October 25, the 34-year-old singer took the stage at the Caesars Superdome, where a fan recorded a video of Lively, 37, and Reynolds, 48, enjoying the performance from what appeared to be a VIP section while Swift sang “Cruel Summer.”
In the footage shared on X (formerly Twitter), Lively was seen standing behind her husband, engaging in conversation with another concertgoer before turning her attention back to Reynolds.

Another TikTok video featured the couple throughout the show, highlighting their adorable matching outfits. Reynolds wore a short-sleeved white shirt paired with dark pants, while Lively sported a fitted white vest over a white shirt.
The couple was seen snuggling during various moments of Swift’s concert, with Reynolds wrapping his arms around Lively’s waist as they swayed to the music. The It Ends With Us actress also filmed Swift’s performance on her phone and sang along. Over the video, a caption read, “Nola N1 VIP with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds,” while the TikTok user added, “Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are the cutest.”
In a second TikTok clip, the couple was shown dancing and chatting as they watched Swift perform “Shake It Off.” At one point, Reynolds leaned in, resting his arms around Lively’s shoulders while they enjoyed the show together.
Swift and Lively have maintained a close friendship since 2015. They recently enjoyed a double date with Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, at The Corner Store in New York City on October 11.
The couple has also attended previous Eras Tour shows, including one in Philadelphia last May, with some of their four children. Additionally, Lively and Reynolds cheered on Kelce during the Kansas City Chiefs game against the New York Jets in New Jersey in October 2023.
Before her first of three performances at the Superdome, which is home to the New Orleans Saints, the venue adorned its facade with a giant friendship bracelet. On Instagram, the Saints shared photos of the decorated venue with the caption, “A welcome for Taylor.”
This design nods to Swift’s fans, who exchange handmade beaded bracelets during the tour, inspired by the lyrics from her song “You’re on Your Own Kid”: “Make the friendship bracelets / Take the moment and taste it.”
Swift began her record-breaking Eras Tour in March 2023, starting in the U.S. before expanding to Central and South America, Asia, Australia, and Europe. On October 18, she resumed her tour with the final North American leg, kicking off with three nights in Miami.
At Hard Rock Stadium, she dazzled fans with new outfits, mash-ups of beloved hits, deep cuts, and surprise duets with her collaborator Florence Welch from Florence and the Machine.
“The Eras Tour is BACK and the 3 Miami crowds we just got to play for were on a new level,” Swift wrote in an October 22 Instagram post. “With only 5 cities left to play before it’s over, I knew I was going to be savoring every moment up on that stage but the bewildering passion of those crowds really blew my mind.”
She continued, “The mass quantities of joyful people genuinely living in the moment and seeming truly carefree for 3.5 hours. Thank you to everyone who came and everyone who followed along online. 4 more cities left and the next one up is: New Orleans!”
