Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner’s Relationship: A Look Back

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.

A few months after filming their movie together, the two shared a sweet moment at the 2009 MTV VMAs as Lautner presented Swift with best female video for “You Belong With Me.” Swift and Lautner shared a tight hug onstage when she came up to accept.

However, the moment quickly took a turn as West stormed the stage and interrupted Swift’s speech, stating, “Yo, Taylor, I’m really happy for you, I’mma let you finish, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time!”

In October 2009, Swift and Lautner continued to fuel romance rumors as they stepped out together on a number of occasions. After they were spotted in Chicago – where the actor attended two of her concerts – the pair reunited in Los Angeles for a hockey game.
