Taylor Swift is making headlines with her re-recorded album, her Eraz tour, and her star-studded music video. One of his most surprising and enjoyable recent collaborations is with his ex-boyfriend Taylor Lautner and his wife, Ty Lautner, who are both huge fans of the pop star.
Taylor Lautner and Tay Lautner are a married couple who host a podcast called the squeeze, where they talk about their lives, their loves, and their opinions on various topics. He is also good friends with Taylor Swift, whom Lautner dated in 2009.
The trio reunited on July 7, 2023, at Swift’s Erase tour stop in Kansas City, Missouri, where they premiered their music video for “I can see you”, a song from their newly recorded “From the Vault”. Was one of 2010’s third studio albums Speak Now (Taylor’s version).
The video features Lautner and actress Joy King as a pair of detectives who break into a museum to rescue Swift from a vault, where she is trapped with her framed cover art of Speak Now. The clever clip is a metaphor for SWIFT taking her art back from her former record label, Big Machine, which sold her master recordings without her consent.
Lautner made a special appearance on stage with Swift, performing cartwheels and backflips before hugging the singer — a nod to the scene she shared in the 2010 film Valentine’s Day. The crowd went out of control after seeing the sweet reunion of the former couple, who have had a good relationship over the years.
On July 19, 2023, Lautner and his wife dedicated an episode of their podcast to talking about working with Swift on a music video and her experience of connecting with her on stage. They revealed that they had been hiding this secret for months and they were honoured and excited to be a part of this project.
He also praised Swift for being a “talented”, “mastermind” and “collaborative” person who can do it all. He said Swift was polite, respectful, and generous towards him and they had a lot of fun on the sets.
