The popstar shocked the crowd at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City Friday night when she brought out her ex-boyfriend Taylor Lautner onstage as part of her sold-out “The Eras Tour.”
Joining the “Twilight” actor, who inspired her song “Back To December,” was actress Joey King and Presley Cash, who joined forces with the singer for her new music video for the song “I Can See You.”
The clip, which stars all three actors, was released Friday and fans at the gig were the first to witness its premiere.
Lautner, who dated the singer in 2009, surprised a sea of screaming fans with a cartwheel and backflip as he made his way down the stage’s ramp.
“He was a very positive force in my life when I was making the ‘Speak Now’ album, and I want to say he did every single stunt that you saw in that music video,” Swift said of Lautner. “He and his wife have become some of my closest friends, and it’s very convenient because we all share the same first name.”
Reciprocating the warm words, Lautner told Swift, “I respect you so much. Not just for the singer you are, the songwriter, the performer — but truly for the human you are. You are gracious, humble, kind and I’m honored to know you.”
After the gig, Lautner took to Instagram to share a snap of himself, his wife, and Swift all pointing at each other as they recreated the famous Spider-Man meme.
