Taylor Swift surprised her fans during her Eras Tour at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City by bringing her ex-boyfriend, Taylor Lautner, on stage. Lautner, known for his role in the ‘Twilight’ series, was accompanied by actress Joey King and Presley Cash, both of whom appeared in Swift’s music video for her song ‘I Can See You (Taylor’s Version).’ The music video, featuring all three actors, had just been released on the same day as Swift’s album ‘Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)’.
Lautner’s entrance was nothing short of impressive, as he surprised the ecstatic audience with a cartwheel and backflip while descending the stage ramp. Swift took a moment to express her gratitude towards Lautner, recognizing his positive influence during the creation of her ‘Speak Now’ album.
“He was a very positive force in my life when I was making the ‘Speak Now’ album, and I want to say he did every single stunt that you saw in that music video,” Swift shared with the crowd, referring to Lautner’s involvement in the music video.
Swift also mentioned that Lautner and his wife have become some of her closest friends, jokingly noting the convenience of sharing the same first name. Lautner, in turn, expressed his respect for Swift as both an artist and a person, praising her humility, kindness, and talent.
To provide some context, Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner were romantically involved for a few months back in 2009. They first went public as a couple when they were spotted attending a hockey game together, after meeting on the set of the movie ‘Valentine’s Day.’ Their relationship ended in December of the same year, and while some media outlets sensationalized their breakup, a source close to Swift emphasized that it was never a significant event in the first place.
The surprise appearance of Taylor Lautner on stage alongside Taylor Swift delighted fans, showcasing a moment of camaraderie between the two exes and reinforcing the positive bond they have maintained over the years.
