Taylor Swift's 11th studio album, Tortured Poets Department, was released on April 19th. The public is speculating that the 16-track album is heavily based on the Grammy winner's past relationships. Taylor Swift's long relationship history is no secret to her fans. With the release of 'Tortured Poets Division', referring to her former partner, her singing sensation is back in the spotlight. In fact, shortly after TPD's release, the Academy's official Instagram handle shared a fun clip from the 2010 film Valentine's Day, starring Taylor Swift and her then-boyfriend, actor Taylor Lautner.
The video was captioned, “Flashback Friday to Taylor Squared (Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner in 2010's 'Valentine's Day').” This is coded as “So High School.” The film begins with an interviewer asking a young Taylor Swift how she met Taylor Lautner. She called it a “funny” incident, and she revealed: He spat a wad of bills at me in Spanish class, which was like middle school. But one night, when I got home and was combing my hair, I found this wad of spitballs. But it was really a note, and it said, “What's wrong?” I thought that was very cute. And I fell in love with him. ”
The scene quickly shifts to Taylor Lautner doing a sporting activity, fence jumping, and looking admiringly at Taylor Swift. However, he trips over a car and falls to the ground. Swift supports him, asking him to “please stop” and assuring him that it's “still hot.” Mr. Lautner speculated that she probably shared her saliva story with the interviewer, and also showed off some of her dance moves before Mr. Lautner scooped her up in his arms. “She's such a mess,” he said before they kissed.
Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner first met on the set of Valentine's Day in 2009. She was 19 and he was 17. In fact, Taylor Swift's 2010 song “Back to December” is rumored to have been inspired by her breakup with Lautner. After going on several dates, the two broke up in December 2009. According to sources, the relationship between the two “didn't go well.” However, the two remained good friends after that.
Taylor Swift is currently dating NFL player Travis Kelce.
