Breaking News: Ryan Reynolds ‘SUED’ by Taylor Swift for using her cats in Deadpool movie sequel “I Lost Everything because She has just a lot of very, very… See More

Remember that time in Deadpool 2 where Wade (Ryan Reynolds) rocked that adorable T-shirt that featured a snap of two of Taylor Swift’s beloved cats and the message, “Olivia & Meredith. Best Friends Purrr-ever?”

Well, as it turns out Swift did not find the bit funny. In a SiriusXM Town Hall last week in New York, Deadpool & Wolverine star Reynolds talked about the cat cameo in the 2018 sequel, joking that it got him into legal hot water with his pop superstar pal.

“Yes, I had a T-shirt made. Yes, of [Swift’s cats] Meredith and Olivia on Wade’s shirt,” Reynolds told the audience. “Yeah, you know, just little details, that’s all.”

When host Jess Cagle asked if Reynolds had to get Swift’s permission to feature her kitties in the film, Reynolds went into full deadpan Deadpool mode. “Did you have to call her and get permission?” Cagle wondered. “No, I was sued.

I lost everything in that one,” Reynolds teased.

“And getting sued by a friend is tough to swallow,” Reynolds went on. “Also, she has just a lot of very, very powerful lawyers.

I found out later those are just the paralegals. The real lawyers didn’t even bother with it.” He didn’t let the bit hang that long though, adding, “But… I would never do such a thing” in reference to wearing a shirt with Swift’s pets on it without her blessing.

The question came as speculation has continued to swirl that Swift may have a cameo in the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine, which hits theaters on Friday (July 26).
