Taylor Lautner recalled what it was like to see Taylor Swift’s face after Kanye West interrupted her speech at the 2009 VMAs. The Twilight star, who dated Taylor Swift for a few months in 2009, took to their podcast The Squeeze (as seen in a Feb. 1 TikTok), to make a rare comment about his ex-girlfriend. As for what prompted this? Lautner's wife Tay Dome asked which moment in his life he would chose to go back to if he could.

"Probably the 2009 VMAs." Lautner, 30, went on to recall that fateful night, saying, "I presented the award to her, so I have the award. I took five steps back and was standing five feet behind her. And in the middle of her giving her thank you speech, Kanye jumps up onto the stage."

"I can barely hear it. I can't see them," Lautner explained. "I'm just assuming this whole thing was a practiced and rehearsed skit, because why else would Kanye West be jumping on the stage interrupting Taylor Swift? It just didn't make sense."

Lautner shared that he ended up giggling on stage to go along with the bit, but it wasn't until he saw Swift's facial expression that he realized it wasn't a planned segment in the show.

"He jumped off. She finished. The second she turned back around and I saw her face for the first time, I was like, ‘Oh. No. That wasn't good.'"
