Swift just finished her Eras Tour concerts in New Orleans last week, where she was joined by some of her famous friends, including Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds.

The ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ star gushed about her experience at the pop star’s show via Instagram Thursday, telling his followers that he would “still be talking about seeing” Swift’s show in Louisiana in years to come.

“Not just because it’s one of the best things I’ve seen/heard/felt. And not just because you see the staggering, positive economic impact this tour is having on small businesses in NOLA – a city that has been through so much for so long,” he explained in a lengthy caption.

“The main reason I will never forget this show is because it brings people together in so many ways. And in 2024 (where this feeling is very rare), it is a special and incredibly rare thing,” he continued.

“I don’t understand the unimaginable work, care, talent and discipline that @taylorswift generates to create an experiment like this because I’m not a scientist. It is a sporting event and a collective cultural phenomenon. It’s gigantic but intimate.

Reynolds concluded his post by saying the “only downside” is that Swift can’t be herself in the audience – to experience the incredible show she’s putting on for fans.

“Looking at herself up there is something I wish she could know,” he said. “But that’s not physically possible and even if it were, you can’t get tickets at the last minute.”
