Taylor Swift’s Ex-Boyfriend Just Had a Bold Reaction to Her & Travis Kelce’s Engagement Years After She Wrote a Song About ‘Missing’ Him
Taylor Swift’s got a long list of ex-boyfriends. That much we already know. There’s an entire song about it. But her recent engagement to Travis Kelce is a commitment from the singer and the football player that she won’t have any more, and that all future songs from her will either be happy… or fictional. But how do her ex-boyfriends feel about her engagement and about the fact that they will now be the only ones to get breakup songs?
Well, one of them had a very loud reaction to her engagement. A mere hours after Swift and Kelce confirmed the news that they were indeed going to tie the knot, Taylor Lautner went on social media to react to the news. The Twilight hunk reshared a post from the NFL to support his ex and her future husband, proving there’s no bad blood between them. Not at all.

The post from the NFL featured a split image of one of the couple’s engagement photos with one of the two on the football field, celebrating the Kansas City Chiefs winning the AFC Championship back in January of this year. The text on the photo reads: “I cannot believe this is really happening,” which is what Taylor said to Travis when his team won. The NFL captioned the post: “Same,” a clear nod to the couple’s engagement. Taylor Swift is now NFL royalty, after all.
Of all her exes, Taylor has perhaps always had the best relationship with Lautner, and the two are now reportedly very good friends. Long gone are the days when Swift sang “It turns out freedom ain’t nothing but missin’ you” after they broke up in the song “Back to December.” They briefly dated for a few months in 2009 while filming the ensemble romantic comedy Valentine’s Day. Years later, the duo rekindled their relationship, and Lautner and his wife, Taylor Dome, are reportedly now close with the singer, which explains the social media reaction.
And these aren’t just anonymous reports, either. Swift herself confirmed it. “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 at her Eras Tour concert in Kansas City, as she brought Lautner on stage to premiere the music video he appears in for her song “I Can See You.” She added: “He and his wife have become some of my closest friends, and it’s very convenient because we all share the same first name.”
We can imagine the jokes about that.
As for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s engagement, it might have just been announced on August 26, but a source told Page Six that Travis proposed to Taylor a “couple weeks” before the two made the announcement. An exact date hasn’t been confirmed. This, however, means Travis and Taylor likely got engaged mid-August, you know, around the time she appeared on the “New Heights” podcast hosted by the Kelce brothers and announced her 12th album, The Life of a Showgirl. All in a day’s work when you’re Taylor Swift, apparently.
Even her friends don’t really seem surprised if they’re joking about it. Just really happy for her.
