Taylor Swift’s engagement to NFL star Travis Kelce has drawn reaction from one of her most notable former partners, actor Taylor Lautner. The announcement, shared on social media, marks a major development in the pop star’s personal life after years of high-profile relationships.
The Grammy-winning artist and Kansas City Chiefs tight end confirmed their engagement following a relationship that has garnered widespread attention. Their romance gained global visibility after Kelce’s 2024 Super Bowl victory, when Swift publicly supported him on the field.
Swift’s dating history has often been subject to public interest, with former partners including Joe Alwyn, Tom Hiddleston, and Harry Styles. Among them, her relationship with Lautner, star of the Twilight franchise, remains one of the most publicly amicable. The pair dated briefly in 2009 while co-starring in the romantic comedy Valentine’s Day.
Following their split, Swift released the song Back to December, widely believed to reference Lautner. The track reflected on their breakup and expressed regret over the end of their romance. Despite the separation, Lautner and Swift have maintained a friendly relationship over the years.
When the NFL’s official Instagram account announced Swift and Kelce’s engagement, Lautner re-shared the post. Lautner, who is now married to Taylor Dome, has spoken openly about his respect for Swift, noting in past interviews that she was the one who ended their relationship but that mutual admiration remained.
In a 2023 interview, Lautner described Swift as “a very positive force” in his life and praised her character, stating she is “gracious, humble, and kind.” He also joined Swift on stage during her Eras Tour in 2023 to celebrate her music video release, further underscoring their continued friendship.
Public reaction to Swift’s engagement has been significant, with fans highlighting both her personal happiness and the supportive response from Lautner. The development places Swift’s relationship with Kelce among the most prominent celebrity engagements of recent years, comparable to other high-profile unions in entertainment and sports.
Swift and Kelce have yet to release further details on their wedding plans. However, industry observers note that the engagement reflects a shift for Swift, who has often kept her personal milestones private despite her global fame.
