Fans of Taylor Swift are always thrilled when her boyfriend Travis Kelce attends one of her concerts, but on Monday, August 19, one of her ex-boyfriends voiced his support for the “Cruel Summer” phenomenon. The “I Can Do It With A Broken Heart” singer’s famous 2009 date, Taylor Lautner, was there at her London concert at Wembley Stadium.
Fans noticed right away that the 32-year-old Twilight star was sporting the friendship bracelets that have come to represent Eras Tour performances, even though he was sporting a white T-shirt. On August 19, the actor posted a photo of the wristbands on his Instagram story.
Lautner has supported the 33-year-old Swift before since the start of her record-breaking tour. When Swift unveiled her music video for “I Can See You,” featuring Lautner with actresses Presley Cash and Joey King, the actor and dancer made an appearance on stage in Kansas City. With a double cartwheel on stage, Lautner shocked the audience and even Swift herself, claiming it “wasn’t planned.” Swift wrote the breakup ballad “Back To December” as an apology to Lautner, and the album Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), which featured the song, was released concurrently with the event. The fans were thrilled to see the ex-couples embrace warmly on stage.
Swift and Lautner began dating in the fall of 2009 after meeting on the set of the movie Valentine’s Day, in which they played two wildly infatuated high school students. Although the singer expresses regret for how she treated Lautner in “Back To December,” it doesn’t appear that the well-known Taylors are at odds. (Lautner is currently wed to Taylor Dome, a nurse who legally adopted Taylor Lautner as her maiden name.)
The fact that Lautner was waving directly at the Swifties trying to snap his photo amused some of the X-fans who were ecstatic to see him in the audience at the London event.
Hahaha! Not Taylor Lautner waving at all of the swiftie fans in London, England on Night 7 and his wife Tay is their with him tonight too!!! 😝😝😝😝 pic.twitter.com/Qb3iC4mE4H
