Taylor Swift’s ex-boyfriend Taylor Lautner is subtly celebrating her engagement to Travis Kelce.
Lautner, 33, reshared a Tuesday, August 26, post from the NFL’s official Instagram account that featured Swift and Kelce’s engagement photo and a photograph of them after the Chiefs won the 2024 Super Bowl.
“I cannot imagine this is admittedly happening,” the post read, which is a quote from Swift, 35, on the sphere with Kelce, also 35, following the massive game. The NFL added, “Same.”
Swift announced on Tuesday that she and Kelce are engaged after two years of dating.
“Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” the caption read.
Swift and Lautner dated briefly back in 2009 after connecting on the set of the film Valentine’s Day. She later wrote the song “Back to December,” which was on her Speak Now album, about their romance. Despite their breakup, Swift and Lautner have remained friendly through the years.
In July 2023, Lautner made a cameo in Swift’s music video for “I Can See You,” a bonus track from the re-release of Speak Now, alongside Joey King and Presley Money. During Swift’s concert in Kansas City, Swift brought Lautner, King and Money on stage to rejoice the video’s premiere. Swift gushed about how Lautner impacted her life.
“He was a really positive force in my life once I was making the Speak Now album, and I would like to say he did each stunt that you just saw in that music video,” she told the group on the time. “He and his wife [Taylor Dome] have turn into a few of my closest friends, and it’s very convenient because all of us share the identical first name.”
Lautner added, “I respect you a lot. Not only for the singer you might be, the songwriter, the performer — but truly for the human you might be. You’re gracious, humble, kind and I’m honored to know you.”
Swift and Kelce began dating that very same summer. The couple’s love story began after the football player revealed on his “Recent Heights” podcast that he made a friendship bracelet together with his phone number on it but didn’t get a likelihood to provide it to her on the Kansas City concert. After hearing about his grand gesture, Swift connected with Kelce. The pair confirmed their relationship after Swift attended her first Kansas City Chiefs game that September.
When Swift and Kelce’s love story began to take the world by storm, Lautner expressed his support for the couple.
“I’m excited for her. They appear to be they’re incredibly joyful,” the actor told Extra in a November 2023 interview. “So long as she’s joyful, I’m joyful. She’s crushing it in every aspect of her life without delay.”
