The Drama Unfolds: Taylor Swift's Ex-Boyfriend Taylor Lautner Reacts to Her Engagement with NFL Star Travis Kelce

In a shocking turn of events, pop sensation Taylor Swift has gotten engaged to none other than NFL star Travis Kelce! And guess who's feeling the love? Her ex-boyfriend, Twilight heartthrob Taylor Lautner!

Lautner, 33, took to social media to share his thoughts on the engagement news, and let's just say he's still got feelings for the "Love Story" singer. The hunky actor reshared a post from the NFL's official Instagram account featuring Swift and Kelce's romantic engagement photo, as well as a snap of them celebrating their Super Bowl win in 2024.

"I cannot believe this is really happening," the post read, quoting Swift's sweet words to Kelce after their big win. Lautner responded with a simple yet telling "Same." Yikes!

But before you start thinking that Lautner is still pining for Swift, let's take a step back in time. The two dated briefly in 2009 while filming the romantic comedy Valentine's Day, where they shared a swoon-worthy on-screen kiss. Swift gushed about the experience, saying it was "life-changing," and Lautner seemed smitten too, admitting he thought she was his "type."

However, their romance fizzled out just two months later, with insiders claiming that Lautner went to great lengths to see Swift but she didn't reciprocate. Ouch! In a 2023 interview, Lautner even revealed that Swift was the one who initiated their breakup, saying she was "absolutely" the instigator.

But despite their split, Lautner has always maintained a positive vibe towards his ex. He's even shared some sweet words about her on social media, and in an appearance alongside Joey King and Presley Cash in Swift's music video for "I Can See You," he gushed about how she's "a very positive force" in his life.

In fact, Lautner has been so supportive of Swift that fans have started begging him to move on. One fan quipped, "Taylor Lautner is so annoying when will he get a personality that isn't just being Taylor's ex?" Another chimed in with, "Someone get Taylor Lautner a job!"

But don't worry, folks; it seems like Lautner has moved on with his life. He married his long-time partner Taylor Dome in 2022 and has been living his best life.

Now, let's talk about the real tea: Swift's engagement to Kelce! The two have been dating for two years and went public with their romance in September 2023. Since then, they've been inseparable, with Swift even supporting Kelce's run to two Super Bowls and the NFL star joining her on stage during her wildly successful Eras Tour.

But what really caught our attention was Swift's romantic engagement photoshoot with Kelce, where she revealed a stunning diamond ring estimated to be worth between $675,000 to $1 million! The ring is an Old Mine Brilliant Cut, designed by Kindred Lubeck at Artifex Fine Jewelry. And get this – Swift captioned the post: "Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married." Spoken like a true fan girl!

It seems like Swift has finally found her perfect match in Kelce, but we can't help but wonder: what's next for Lautner? Will he find love again, or is he still pining for his ex? Only time will tell.
