After Taylor Lautner’s brief courtship with Selena Gomez, he would go on to date the singer’s BFF, Taylor Swift, with fans nicknaming the couple “Taylor Squared.” The two first met on the set of the romantic comedy “Valentine’s Day” in 2009, in which they portrayed a high school couple. Their on-screen romance would turn into a real one, and they dated throughout the last few months of the year until they called it quits in December 2009.
A source for People shared that the pair broke up on good terms. “They became good friends and then went out a few times, but he lives in LA, and she lives in Nashville, and their busy schedules kept it from becoming more than it was.” The following year, Swift released her song, “Back to December,” from her Speak Now album, which was speculated to be about the songstress regretting the breakup. In 2016, Lautner confirmed the song was about him when speaking to his “Scream Queens” co-stars Lea Michele and John Stamos during a Facebook Live.

“Taylor Squared” returned as friends when he starred in the singer’s 2023 music video for her track, “I Can See You.” Lautner also joined his ex on stage during her Eras Tour in July 2023 to debut the music video. “I respect you so much,” Lautner said on stage. “Not for the singer you are, the songwriter, the performer — but truly for the human you are … I’m honored to know you.”
