Taylor Swift hugs her ex Taylor Lautner onstage as she re-releases love song about him

Taylor Swift hugged her ex-boyfriend Taylor Lautner onstage at her concert in Kansas City last night.

The 33-year-old singer has just finished re-recording her third studio album Speak Now which includes the song Back To December about her relationship with the Twilight actor in 2009.

The ballad is about the couple's split and Swift's regrets and includes the poignant line: "You gave me all your love and all I gave you was goodbye, So this is me swallowin' my pride, Standin' in front of you sayin' I'm sorry for that night."

And the former lovers showed there are no hard feelings as Swift welcomed Lautner on stage along with actors Joey King and Presley Cash. During the concert she debuted the new music video for I Can See You that stars the three actors.

Earlier in the night Lautner and his wife Taylor Dome were seen arriving at the show and fans were delighted to see him reunited with his ex on stage. "We had so much fun making this video. Taylor, thank you for having me and all of us," he said.

Adding: "I just wanna say one thing quick - I respect you so much, not for the singer you are, the songwriter, the performer, but truly for the human you are. You are gracious, humble, you are kind and I'm honored to know you. So thank you for letting me be a part of this and being a part of my life."

Lautner previously told TODAY show that he was not worried about the re-release dragging up old memories. "I think it's a great album. Yeah, I feel safe," he said. He also admitted that his wife was very excited for the re-release as she is a big fan of Swift.

The actor briefly dated the Shake It Off singer in 2009 when they met on the set of the film Valentine's Day, and he later had fond memories of their time together. Asked about their romance back in 2016, he told Entertainment Tonight: "It was a good time. It was a fun few months there."

And Taylor later admitted he still listens to his former girlfriend's music while he was being mocked about his love life by Scream Queens co-stars Lea Michele and John Stamos during a Facebook Live interview. Lea said: "You dated Taylor Swift. I remember that. Should we talk about it? Didn't she write a song about you?" He replied: "That's what she does. She writes songs."

John then asked which song his pal had inspired, and Lea replied: "I think it was on the one about a sweater and a hat." Lautner appeared visibly uncomfortable and tried to change the subject, simply saying: "That's hilarious."

But Lea persisted with her questioning, and then said: "Am I right, though? I listened to 22 by the pool today. I was like, 'I'm feeling 22, guys.'" Taylor then conceded: "It's good music. I listen to it."
