The problem is the placement of the quote you use to close the string. The format function call is not a part of the string, it is something that is called on the string. You have also mixed the name and subject variable names around, they are meant to be reversed like this:

name = 'ryan'
subject = "Treehouse loves {}".format(name)

name = "Treehouse loves {}.format(subject)"

needs to become 

name = "Treehouse loves {}".format(subject)

then it should work just fine.
