As is customary with the podcast Call Her Daddy's host, Alex Cooper did not beat about the bush and asked her guest Lautner who ended the affair between Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner. Lautner had a brief affair with Swift in 2009 after they met on the sets of Valentine’s Day.

Lautner validated that the singer had pulled the plug on the association at the time. Initially, they stayed in touch after the breakup but that dwindled after some time. Lautner went on to meet and marry his spouse, Taylor Dome, who was also the joint guest with Lautner for Alex Cooper’s podcast show.

Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner have rekindled their friendship since Lautner was featured in one of the videos for Swift. Besides being part of the video, he, along with Joey King and Presley Cash, joined the singer on stage when she debuted the first music video of her latest release Speak Now during her Eras Tour show in Missouri’s Kansas City.

While the on-stage show celebrated of the video premiere, one of the hit songs in the album, titled Back to December, is rumored to be about the breakup between Lautner and Swift. They broke up in December 2009. On the other hand, Lautner starred in his ex’s song, I Can See You, from the album.

He claims to have the most profound respect for her as the person she is over anything else. He cherishes the renewed friendship. He said:

“Honestly I would say one of the greatest things to happen in my life over the last year is the rekindling of our friendship.”
