During the performance, Swift debuted a new music video for her song I Can See You – starring herself with Lautner, King and Cash.

All three of her castmates appeared to be brimming over with ebullience Friday night as they bounded onto the stage to join Swift. 

In a move certain to warm the hearts of the ‘Swifties,’ all four of them gathered together for an affectionate group hug.

When Lautner first walked onto the stage, he delighted the audience by performing a double cartwheel, in a moment captured on video and circulated on Twitter. 

He was immediately greeted by an embrace from his ex-girlfriend, prompting another burst of cheers from the crowd.

During his speech, which has also surfaced on Twitter, Lautner dished that ‘by the way,’ he ‘didn’t plan the flip. It just – it felt right.’

He graciously thanked the audience ‘for the energy,’ adding: ‘We had so much fun making this video. Taylor, thank you for having me and all of us.’

Lautner gushed: ‘I just wanna say one thing quick – I respect you so much, not for the singer you are, the songwriter, the performer, but truly for the human you are.’

He waxed rhapsodic: ‘You are gracious, humble, you are kind and I’m honored to know you. So thank you for letting me be a part of this and being a part of my life.’ 

Recently, when asked how he feels about the song’s eventual resurgence, Lautner breezily told the TODAY show that he was not sweating it.

 ‘I think it’s a great album. Yeah, I feel safe,’ he said, adding that his wife — who previously admitted to being a fan of Swift — was very excited for its release.

Swift and Lautner met on the set of the star-studded rom-com Valentine’s Day in 2009 and went on to enjoy a whirlwind romance that fall.

Unlike many of her breakup songs, Back To December is Swift apologizing to Lautner for how things ended.

Though he likely won’t face the wrath of Swift’s devout fanbase, Lautner fears that the her ex John Mayer may not be as lucky. ‘Praying for John,’ the Michigan native added.

It’s long been alleged that the hitmaker’s shady track Dear John, which is featured on Speak Now, is about her age-gap relationship with the Mayer.

He told Rolling Stone in 2012 that the song ‘humiliated him’ and made him ‘feel terrible,’ insisting that ‘I didn’t deserve it. I’m pretty good at taking accountability now, and I never did anything to deserve that.’

He ended by saying that ‘it was a really lousy thing for her to do’ and that he found it be ‘cheap songwriting’ on Swift’s part. Swift and Mayer dated from December 2009 to to early 2010 when she was just 19 and he was 32.

In the song, she seemingly criticizes Mayer for ‘messing’ with her when she was so young and recalls people warning her to stay away from the singer.

She has never confirmed the song is about Mayer, but she has said that fans will know from the ‘little hints’ in the lyrics.

Last week, Swift surprised fans by announcing she would be releasing the Speak Now re-recording in July.

She did so during her Nashville concert on Friday, May 5 as well as on Instagram, where she unveiled the new cover art.

‘It fills me with such pride and joy to announce that my version of Speak Now will be out July 7 (just in time for July 9th, iykyk)’ she began in her post’s caption.

She explained that the album, which was released in 2010, was entirely ‘self-written between the ages of 18 and 20.

‘The songs that came from this time in my life were marked by their brutal honesty, unfiltered diaristic confessions and wild wistfulness,’ Swift continued.

‘I love this album because it tells a tale of growing up, flailing, flying and crashing … and living to speak about it.’

She revealed that six extra tracks that she’s ‘sprung loose from the vault’ will be included on the album, which is now available for pre-order.

The multi-Grammy Award-winner’s love life has captivated haters and fans alike since she burst onto the music scene in 2006.

And her new romance with The 1975 rocker Matty Healy is the talk of the town.

Dating rumors began earlier this month just weeks after it was revealed she’s split from her boyfriend of six years Joe Alwyn.

Healy has been spotted in the audience at several of Swift’s Eras Tour shows and he even opened for the singer at two.

The pair seemingly confirmed their romance after they were captured holding hands and ‘kissing’ at a private NYC party last week.

It’s been claimed that the pair are already ‘madly in love’ and Healy recently hung out with Swift’s father Scott. 

But fans are now calling for Swift to kick the musician to the curb after a clip of him admitting to masturbating to women ‘being brutalized’ in graphic porn resurfaced. 

He made the disturbing admission while appearing on The Adam Friedland Show podcast in February.

Friedland and his co-host Nick Mullen brought up an incident in which Friedland and a woman walked in on Healy masturbating to what they described as ‘hardcore pornography’ ’30 seconds’ after they left a party at Healy’s house.

The trio said Matty, 34, was watching Ghetto Gaggers, a porn site known for videos featuring the humiliation and brutalization of mostly Black women.

Friedland explained how he and a female friend went back into Healy’s house after leaving the party when she realized she had forgotten her water bottle.

‘She went back in and Matty, like, on his phone and then on his 77-inch OLEDs just got Ghetto Gaggers blaring,’ Friedland said. ‘Thirty seconds after the hang, just hardcore pornography.’

Healy laughed as he told the podcast hosts: ‘It wasn’t just the… it was the combination of the fact that it was, you’re not exaggerating, it was 30 seconds. Like, you guys were still waiting outside, she came back in, I was already flustered.’

‘I was, like, dressed as “guy who is jacking off,” so I had, like, an untucked shirt. Like you said, I think it literally was, like, Ghetto Gaggers was on the TV. It’s just somebody just getting, like, brutalized,’ Healy continued.

He later added of the female friend who walked in on him: ‘It wasn’t some cool-scene New York art girl. It was little Olive, who came in like, “I’m so sorry, I’m just getting my water!”

‘Ten minutes would have been fine,’ he said in reference to how long it had been since his guests left. ‘But 30 seconds was kind of almost…I was worried that was offensive.’

The podcast episode was later pulled from both Spotify and Apple Music because of its offensive content. 

Fans of Swift voiced their disgust online, accusing Healy of racism and questioning Swift’s judgement. 


Finding love: Swift’s new romance with The 1975 rocker Matty Healy is the talk of the town

Night out: The rumored couple were last spotted on Monday as they enjoyed an evening out in NYC

‘If a bunch of strangers on the internet know about Matty Healy watching racist torture porn then just HOW would Taylor not know? She’s known that man for TEN YEARS and she doesn’t know how problematic and horrible he is? Yeah i’m not buying that at all,’ read one fiery tweet.

MailOnline has contacted representatives for Healy and Swift for comment. 

The rumored couple were last spotted on Monday as they enjoyed an evening out in NYC.

They hit up a music studio in the city after a night of parting with several of Swift’s famous pals, including musician Florence Welch.
