Taylor Swift, Blake Lively, and Ryan Reynolds are forces in their own right, but when they come together, the internet goes into a spiral, naturally.
Most recently, Taylor's fans have noticed a similarity between the stained-glass window seen in her Grammy award-winning music video, All Too Well: The Short Film, and one in the Lively-Reynolds household. Screened at the Tribeca and Toronto International Film Festivals – and with over 85 million views on YouTube to date – the film has gained Taylor international recognition as a director (yet another skill for her résumé). However, fans might not have known that they were likely, and unsuspectingly, looking around Blake and Ryan Reynolds' family home while they were watching it.
Though Blake and Taylor are yet to confirm the rumor, fans have put forward a convincing argument – stemming from the window seen from the 47th second of the film below. The distinct stained pane features a motif that resembles the one Blake later posted on her Instagram account.
Actress Blake, best known for her roles in Gossip Girl and The Age of Adaline, shared snapshots from her pregnancy – including a photo (the 9th one in the carousel, below) of her and her actor husband Ryan Reynolds. Though this post came several months later, the landing looks identical to the one in the video.
Located in the rural Pound Ridge neighborhood of New York State, Blake and Ryan's home has an unmistakable country-style aesthetic (both in terms of interiors and the exterior). We already took a moment to admire its gray-painted façade and the back porch that also experiments with darker hues. The inside follows a similar rustic style, exactly like the one in the All Too Well film.
The film refers to 'An Upstate Escape' – conveniently similar to the location of the couple's property. Even more conveniently, however, Blake and Taylor Swift are known to be good friends (as the 7th photo in the same carousel already indicated).
Taylor Swift fans may also know that Blake and Ryan's daughter, James Reynolds, is the voice at the start of the song Gorgeous (in which she announces the name). And, Taylor references all three of the couple's children: James, Inez, and Betty, in her 2020 album Folklore.

Whether the rumor is true or not, we'll never be able to watch All Too Well in the same way again...
