Taylor Lautner admitted his biggest regret in life was not publicly having Taylor Swift’s back after Kanye West famously interrupted her VMAs Best Female Video acceptance speech, claiming it should have gone to Beyoncé. Lautner actually presented Swift the award alongside Shakira, and admitted on the February 1 episode of “Fame is a Drug” that he felt bad for not doing more for her from the stage.
Speaking to his wife, Taylor a.k.a. Tay Dome (he sure loves a Taylor, doesn’t he?), Lautner admitted he initially thought the whole thing was fake. “I’m standing behind them, I can’t see either of their faces. I could barely hear it … I’m just assuming that this whole thing was a practiced and rehearsed skit,” he recalled of the moment that’s gone down in pop culture history. “Because why else would Kanye West be jumping up on the stage interrupting Taylor Swift? It just didn’t make sense … if you look back at it, I’m actually caught laughing.” He added, “The second she turned back around and I saw her face for the first time, I was like ‘Oh, that wasn’t good … probably should have said something.'”

Luckily though, Swift didn’t hold it against him and the young lovers just naturally grew apart. A source told People in December 2009 that distance was an issue for the two and claimed, “[Their relationship] was never a big deal to begin with.”
