Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner’s Relationship: A Look Back – A beautiful love story is over, but the friendship still remains
Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner’s short-lived romance is forever memorialized in the singer’s music.
The two first met on the set of the romantic comedy Valentine’s Day in 2009, where they played high school sweethearts, and it didn’t take long for their onscreen romance to turn into a real one.
Following filming, Swift and Lautner — whose relationship was coined “Taylor Squared” by fans — began to spark dating rumors with their various appearances in Los Angeles before eventually stepping out together at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, at which Kanye West infamously interrupted Swift’s speech on stage.
Though they deflected relationship speculation at the time they were dating, Swift and Lautner have spoken about each other in the years following their split.
Swift’s breakup ballad “Back to December” — on her 2010 Speak Now album, which she re-released for Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) — was widely assumed to be about her relationship with Lautner.
Most recently, Lautner joined Swift on stage at her Eras Tour as the singer debuted her new music video for “I Can See You,” which stars Joey King, Presley Cash and Lautner.
Here’s a complete timeline of the former couple’s relationship.
