Ryan Reynolds enjoyed an unforgettable time in New Orleans with wife Blake Lively.

The pair traveled to NOLA for their friend Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour stop there, with concerts held all weekend at the Caesars Superdome, also the venue for the upcoming 2025 Super Bowl in February.

On Instagram, Reynolds, 48, shared photos from inside the performance, including selfies with Rufus Wainwright and photos of Swift, 34, onstage. In one mirror selfie, Reynolds cozied up behind wife Lively, 37, who smiled while wearing a collection of friendship bracelets on her wrist.

“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,” wrote Reynolds in the caption.

“Not just because it’s one of the best things I’ve seen/heard/felt,” he continued. “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.”

The Deadpool & Wolverine actor said the “main reason” he will “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.”

Reynolds added that New Orleans is a “special place on a normal day — but this weekend, felt like Super Bowl or Mardi Gras had a baby with music.”

“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,” he wrote. “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,” continued Reynolds. “To watch herself up there is something I wish she could know. But that isn’t physically possible and even if it were, you can’t just get tickets last minute.”

Reynolds and Lively, who married in 2012 and share four kids, are close pals with Swift and have gone to several of her concerts during the record-setting Eras Tour.

Swift next brings her tour to Indianapolis. She recapped her New Orleans experience on Instagram, writing Oct. 29, “Wow, New Orleans. I’m still smiling thinking about that wonderful weekend.”

“The city really welcomed us with open arms (with friendship bracelets on those metaphorical arms) and celebrated the tour with such flare,” she wrote. “… Thank you to every one of those beautiful faces I got to see on 3 magical nights in Louisiana.”
