Congratulations to Taylor Swift, whose friend, Blake Lively, had a baby

There's a blank space on that birth certificate that should say 'Taylor Swift.'

Fairy godmother Taylor Swift strikes again!

According to Page Six, Blake Lively, The Shallows star, has given birth to her second child. But the really, really big news? Her friend, Taylor Swift, rushed to the hospital to be by her side.

Now we can rest easy knowing the child of Lively and husband Ryan Reynolds can have a normal upbringing -- one where Taylor Swift is the center of the universe.

Before we carry on with the reasons why Lively should make Swift the godmother of her child and name it after her, here is a picture of Taylor, Blake and a koala and one of the pals with a kangaroo:

Swift has clearly demonstrated her usefulness at the zoo, a fun place to take a kid and a great place to take selfies looking surprised.

Maybe there's actually a blank space on that birth certificate for the name Taylor. Can you think of a good reason not to name all children Taylor?

Lively and Reynolds' first child, a daughter named James, was born in 2014. If the Lively-Reynolds family named their second child after Ms. Swift, their kids would be named James and Taylor, which would be very cute because it would be a nod to an iconic singer-songwriter and also James Taylor.

Unfortunately, Tom Hiddleston could not make it to the hospital, because love is dead, but he's probably still contractually obligated to agree that Taylor's a great name for a boy or girl.

Swift is the godmother of Jamie King's child, Leo. But Tay has endless love for two cats and her exponentially growing number of model friends, so certainly another godmother gig could be in the cards.

Think of the Instagrams, Blake! And congratulations to you as well -- just like Taylor Swift, you accomplished something beautiful today.
