Early Life
Lively was born on April 12, 2007, in New York City, the older of four children born to actors Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively. Her parents met on the set of Green Latern (2011) and married in September 2012. Because of the gap between her parents' meeting and her birth people often thought of Ryan as her step-father however Lively addressed these rumours on February 27 2021 with an Instagram story where she said "I had a biological father who didn't want to take responsibility of me but Ryan did and he's much better than my biological father. To me, family doesn't mean blood and DNA which is why when I was 5 I chose for Ryan to be my Dad and I'm glad that I got to choose him instead of letting my DNA choose a shitty dad for me." She then posted with the text 'This also applies to my siblings just because we don't share the same biological father doesn't mean anything they are as much my siblings as yours are to you especially since we share the same parents and even if we didn't that wouldn't change anything.' Lively has four younger siblings, her sister James Reynolds (Born December 16 2014), her twin brother and sister Inez and Cory Reynolds (Born September 30 2016) and her youngest sister Betty Reynolds (Born October 14 2019). The actor has also said that she considers most of her friends to be family, especially her TV family on the show Young Sheldon and she has said that she considers Montana and Iain to be her brothers along with Cory and that she considers Zoey and Lance to be her 'second parents' along with all her other TV siblings like Judy Pankrow. Lively has dyslexia, ADHD and Autism which resulted in her not coping with mainstream schooling resulting in her becoming homeschooled in 2016. Despite her parents' jobs both she and her parents confirmed that her becoming an actor was all self-motivated, Blake Lively said in an interview with her daughter "Knowing the industry ourselves Ryan and I didn't want to push her [Esty] into acting because of how toxic it can be but she loved acting and we didn't want to strike down her passions so she did acting classes which weren't like serious by the way, with the view that she could decide when she's and she did so when she was 7 we let her start with some small roles so she could get a feel and that made her love it more so when we got the call that she was offered a role in Ant-man she immediately said we had to accept it," Esty confirmed this with a comment after her mothers "And 'cause I've been a Marvel fan since forever oh also I didn't even know my parents were actors until I went to the set of bones and was like 'this is like mummy and daddies work'"

Acting
In 2015, Grace made her acting debut playing Cassie in the Marvel movie Ant-man. Later she recurred on the CBS series Young Sheldon as Missy Cooper. She had a recurring role as Jane Boland on Good Girls between 2017 and 2021 however this has often been unrecognized along with a lot of her other works. Some of her underrated roles include Amara in The Surgeon (2022), young Madeline in Welcome to mercy (2018), Jody in Back Roads (2018), Siobhan in Don't Leave Home (2018), Marian in Sharp Objects (2018), young Fallon in dynasty (2017-2022), Beth in Abducted: The Mary Stauffer Story (2019), Young Sabrina in Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (2018-2020), Molly blake in Bones (2005-2017), Young Caroline in The vampire dairies (2009-2017), Sofie in Grey's Anatomy (2005-present). This is both because she either played small roles or because the films themselves aren't very popular. In 2017, Lively played a lead role in the Marc Webb drama film Gifted as child prodigy Mary Adler, starring alongside Chris Evans. She gained recognition for her performance in the role, being nominated for the Critics' Choice Movie Award for Best Young Performer. Lively starred as Angela in the Netflix series stranger things earning her 2 awards and 2 nominations. Lively has many other popular roles including Phoebe in the Ghostbusters: Afterlife film and Wheezie in the Netflix series Outerbanks. Lively starred as Judy Warren, daughter of paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, in the 2019 horror film Annabelle Comes Home. Also that year, she appeared in the series daybreak as Angelica green.

Music
In 2020, Lively released an album with no prior talk of it called Undercover Lover which included the songs: 1. Applause 2. I wish you liked girls 3. Teen idle 4. Watch 5. Young and beautiful 6. Listen before Igo 7. Orange juice 8. I love you 9. Everything I wanted 10. Knife under my pillow 11. I’ll die anyway 12. People you know 13. Chandelier When asked what the songs/album's about lively explained in detail "I've always had a creative side well I'm an actor but I like making up stories and so I used songwriting to deal with my emotions in a creative way and when I was bored in quarantine I decided to make those thoughts into an album so there's not much of a meaning to the album but the songs definitely have meanings behind them because I picked the songs that weren't just random for this album. Um, applause is my desire to like for fame and popularity I guess and like having the claps mentality, I wish you liked girls I think is pretty self-explanatory liking a straight girl as a gay girl. Teen Idle is similar to applause but with a darker side to it like how I want to be the picture-perfect version of a celebrity. Watch is about like well it's about two things that are kinda connected it's about like having a crush and stuff but also about hating someone because of something they did to you but they make it out to not be a big thing or whatever. Young and beautiful is about thinking people only will care about you when you're pretty and the young part is because both cause society's pedophiles and because people tend to not see old people as pretty which has to do with beauty standards too. Listen before I go and everything I wanted is very personal to me because they're about my depression especially when it's been really bad and you know. I think Orange juice doesn't need to be explained if you understand I'm sorry and if you don't be happy. I love you is a messy song as I kinda lied before it's one of the songs where it's not about one thing its lots of thoughts put together so it's confusing to explain. Knife under my pillow is about anxiety and intrusive thoughts and like what comes with me and the lyric 'A knife under my pillow' while it's kind of a metaphor It's based off the time I couldn't sleep without a knife with me. I'll die anyway omg I actually struggle with this song because I always say anyways not anyway but I changed it so it was grammatical but anyways it's about this toxic mindset I have where I think well I'll die anyways why not now? like what's the difference which I've been trying to shift to be positive and be like I'll die anyways why not enjoy it while it lasts but that doesn't really work 'cause I just end up wanting to commit crimes but yea and the other lyrics are just like my depression. People you know is just about like when relationships of all types that end because people change and not for the better. and finally, chandelier is just like not knowing when your day is going to be your last." Lively explained in a genius interview. On November 31st 2021 Lively released an EP called WANNABE about Jealousy with one of the songs 'Kissing other girls' being to do with her previous break-up with co-star Sophie Grace. The songs on her EP are 1. She's all I want to be 2. Jealousy 3. Kissing other girls 4. Brutal 5. Ugly crier 6. Post party trauma Again Lively explained what the songs are about in a youtube video saying she didn't want people to make assumptions even if they were correct. She's all I want to be and Jealousy, Jealousy were about straight-up jealousy however the other four songs on her album had a more complex version of jealousy with hissing other girls being about being jealous of both her ex who didn't cry about the break-up and of her ex's new girl she confirmed the ex in question was Sophie Grace. In the song ugly crier lively mentions Taylor Swift someone whom she knows personally lively explained that this was because out of the two people she wanted to be in life other than her parents Taylor Swift was her biggest role model and because in her opinion Taylor Swift is the most famous celebrity, especially in music, and the song is about wanting to be 'famous-famous' as she put it meaning more famous than she already is and being jealous of the people who are when she's just insecure. Finally, the last song on the album is about feeling bad about being yourself and Lively's social anxiety around people Livley also said 'Post party trauma is the one song that isn't directly at all about jealousy but it comes from a place of wanting to be somewhere else which I think is a form of jealousy.'

On January 12th 2022 Lively released another album called Fairy dust with the songs: 1. All I wanted 2. Six feet under 3. Ceilings 4. Human 5. Rock bottom 6. Counting crimes 7. Self sabotage 8. Meet you in hell 9. Die first 10. Wrong direction Lively made ten Instagram posts after the album's release using the captions to explain the meanings of the songs. 'All I wanted: this song is pretty self-explanatory but also not because it has two meanings the first being the self-explained meaning of wanting someone but the other meaning is about having just want a relationship with someone but instead getting a whole lot of bad things.' 'Six feet under: I think the lyrics explain this but if they don't it's about wanting your ex back (lol don't do that probably) and wondering if it could work again and stuff especially for me when our relationship didn't end on bad terms' 'Ceilings: I don't know the meaning behind this honestly I mean the lyrics tell a story but its not my story' 'Human: Human is about 2 things in the same way. It's about wanting to be a human but there's two reasons behind it, the first being because of the dehumanisation of me and other people like me because of my disorders especially autism and the other is because of my mental health and fame and not being seen as 'normal' when I want to fit in.' 'Rock bottom: I'm not entirely sure if this song is about me so I'm going to pretend it's fake for the sake of this post the song is about a girl and she fell in love with someone who puts her through a lot, emotionally. They drive her insane, but she lets them drive her insane because she loves them that much. It’s basically a song about a semi-toxic relationship she doesn’t want to get out of because she’s so in love with that person.' 'Counting crimes: this one I can't figure out why it's so deep to me because the meaning behind it is literally this quote (not a quote but something I probably said and a version of something we've all said) "like yea we both did bad shit but you did worse"' 'Self sabotage: what the name says ruining things for myself because I'm scared' 'Meet you in hell: idk tbh someone figure it out for me cause I wrote it with a meaning but I forgot it lmaoo' 'Die first: the song itself is explanatory it's about not wanting to live without someone and for me, this person is mainly my mum and yes there's so many people I don't want to live without but I wrote this about my mum 'Wrong direction: Toxic relationship that's all really lol.' She is going to open for Taylor swift in 2023 on the 'Era's tour'.
