It’s time to mothball your Team Swifter and Tay-Tay t shirts that were being printed out for this year. Taylor Lautner and Taylor Swift have split up. Sources told People Magazine that they weren’t ever very serious to begin with.
According to a source who is close to Swift, it never really was a big deal. The media made a lot more of it then it ever was. All they did was go on a few dates. They realized it wasn’t going anywhere.
The perspective was corroborated by a Lautner source, adding that the two stars live almost a continent away from each other which was a big factor in their low key breakup.
The Lautner source told People, they became really great friends. They did got out on a few dates, but she is living in Nashville and he is living in L.A. They both have very busy schedules which did keep things from developing any further.
Swift and Lautner representatives declined to comment.
The day following a December 12 appearance on Saturday Night Live, where Lautner defended Swift’s honor, the 17 year old flew to Nashville in order to surprise Swift on her 20th birthday. After her birthday party, the two decided it made a lot more sense to remain just friends.
The two met while they were filming “Valentine’s Day,” an upcoming movie. Since October they have been spending some time together. Photographers first became aware of the relationship when they spotted Lautner in Chicago at two Swift concerts. Three weeks later the two teenage stars reunited at a Kings hockey game in Los Angeles.
Earlier this month the pair of down to earth teens was photographed getting friendly after dinner over frozen yogurt at a Los Angeles Benihaha. Lautner even met Swift’s parents. In October Andrea, Swift’s mother, joined the couple at Bistro Garden for a casual dinner in Studio City.
