Taylor Swift has had her fair share of romantic relationships (finally, you have to kiss a few frogs to find your prince). And while many of her exes have served as inspiration for heart-wrenching songs โ€“ weโ€™re looking at you, Joe Jonas, John Mayer, and Jake Gyllenhaal โ€“ thereโ€™s one flame that sparked an alternative apology ballad: Taylor Lautner.

Swift told E! News, โ€œThe person I wrote this song about deserves this. This is about a person who was incredible to me โ€“ perfect for me in a relationship โ€“ and I was careless with him.โ€

Although this pair didnโ€™t last long, they seemed to have a lot in common (besides their names, of course). Lautner and Swift were both teen sensations who achieved remarkable fame in a relatively short period and were still figuring out what that meant. In a way, they were quite perfect for each other โ€“ but as friends rather than lovers.

Hereโ€™s a look back at the relationship between Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner.

July 2009: Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner meet for the first time.

Swift had tried to land a role in Twilight but was ultimately rejected. However, Twihards wouldnโ€™t have to wait long for her to get her revenge โ€“ by meeting Jacob Black. Lautner and Swift likely crossed paths on the set of the romantic comedy film Valentineโ€™s Day in the summer of 2009 when they were 17 and 19 years old, respectively. In the movie, Taylors (also known as Willy and Felicia) played a high school couple.

Lautner was present at the pivotal cultural moment of 2009. He was on stage at the MTV Video Music Awards when Kanye West infamously interrupted Swiftโ€™s acceptance speech for Best Female Video. He even delivered the entire monologue on Saturday Night Live about it (more on that later).

In October 2009, Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner were first spotted together.

In the fall, the two Taylors were rumored to be dating, sparked by talk show host Ellen DeGeneres questioning the singer-songwriter about kissing Lautner on screen. Evidence such as their competitive game of air hockey, fun outings, dinner dates, and their joint attendance at music events suggested that this pair might be more than just an on-screen duo.

On November 7, 2009, Taylor Swift hosted โ€œSaturday Night Liveโ€ and joked about dating Taylor Lautner.

When the pop culture icon hosted SNL for the first time, she kicked it off with a solo song joking about her relationship with Lautner.

โ€œIf youโ€™re wondering if I might be dating the werewolf from Twilightโ€ฆโ€ she sang before seemingly addressing โ€œHey Taylorโ€ to the camera and blowing a kiss, โ€œIโ€™m not going to comment on that in my monologue.โ€

On December 12, 2009, Taylor Lautner hosted SNL and made references to Taylor Swift during the show.

About a month later, the actor from โ€œAbductionโ€ had the opportunity to address his relationship with Swift and even make amends after that infamous night at the VMAs. He reenacted an alternative ending where he stood up to defend his then-girlfriend with Westโ€™s chopping karate move.

December 2009: Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner break up.

At the end of December, Us Weekly reported that the young couple had split. According to a โ€œsource close to Swift,โ€ the relationship โ€œdidnโ€™t really develop into anythingโ€ and โ€œthere wasnโ€™t any chemistry.โ€

The source revealed, โ€œHe liked her more than she liked him. He went everywhere he could to see her, but she didnโ€™t travel much to see him.โ€

In October of the following year, Swift released the single โ€œBack to December,โ€ immediately speculated to be about Lautner. The song describes an event occurring in winter (or commonly interpreted as a breakup) between a former couple, with lyrics like: โ€œSo this is me swallowing my pride / Standing in front of you saying, โ€˜Iโ€™m sorry for that nightโ€™ / And I go back to December all the time / Turns out freedom ainโ€™t nothing but missing you / Wishing that Iโ€™d realized what I had when you were mine.โ€

TBT: Do you remember when Taylor Swift was rumored to have crashed her then-boyfriendโ€™s cousinโ€™s wedding?

A week before the songโ€™s release, Swift told Glamour that Lautner was still one of her โ€œclosest friends.โ€ Around the same time, she disclosed to Ladiesโ€™ Home Journal (via MTV News) that Lautner โ€œwasโ€ someone she loved.

The sentiment seemed to be mutual on Lautnerโ€™s part as well. In 2016, during a Scream Queens press conference turned Taylor Swift-themed interrogation, the former Twilight star confirmed that โ€œBack to Decemberโ€ was indeed about him, according to Elle. He also told co-star John Stamos that dating Swift was a โ€œfun few months,โ€ adding, โ€œIt was a good time.โ€

On February 12, 2010, the film โ€œValentineโ€™s Dayโ€ featuring both Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner was released.

Watching the Taylors portraying affectionate teens on the soccer field in โ€œValentineโ€™s Dayโ€ (the film believed to be their first meeting) is a fitting way to conclude the short-lived Swift-Lautner eraโ€”or prolong it. The movie premiered in February 2010 before the holiday season, lasting longer than the young coupleโ€™s relationship

July 8, 2023: Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner reunion

Since their relationship ended, Swift and Lautner have maintained a good relationship. Lautner even starred alongside Joey King and Presley Cash in a music video for Swiftโ€™s song โ€œI Can See Youโ€ from her album โ€œSpeak Now (Taylorโ€™s Version).โ€

Swift premiered the video during a concert, with Lautner, King, and Cash joining her on stage, Entertainment Tonight reported. After the concert, the Taylor familyโ€”comprising Swift, Lautner, and his wife (ironically sharing the same name as the actor since they got married in 2022)โ€”continued the fun by reenacting the famous Spider-Man meme. Clearly, thatโ€™s something friends and past (and present) romantic partners named Taylor do.
