The Gorgeous singer gave fans a pleasant treat after she welcomed former flame and beloved friend Lautner on stage during her Eras performance. Swift was in the middle of performing a few songs from the recently re-released album Speak Now. The Back To December singer donned a refreshing yellow summer dress with a retro vibe.
After finishing the set, to promote the debut of her new video of the song, I Can See You, she called on to stage the actors from the video – Kissing Booth actress Joey King, Presley Cash, and Lautner. The Grown Ups 2 actor entered the stage with dextrous backflips and a clean landing. This enthusiasm made the stadium full of people go wild with excitement. The audience began to cheer for the entire cast.

Shortly after his dramatic entrance, Swift welcomed him with a warm embrace, and after sharing a few words she handed over the mic to Lautner. With his charming smile, he mentioned that the backflips were apparently a spur-of-the-moment thing and it "just happened." This perplexed Swift and left the viewers at the stadium all the more in awe of his raw talent. Swift asked him, "That just happened?" to which Lautner responds in affirmation. "Yeah, Yeah. Sometimes I just accidentally flip too, yeah."
After a moment of good humor, Lautner shared some heartwarming words for Swift bringing her to near tears. He emphasized his deep love and respect for Swift, not just as an artist but also as a 'beautiful and kind' human being. "I'm honored to know you," said Lautner at the conclusion of his speech. This earned him a group huddle with Swift, King and Cash who were standing right by Swift during this adorable moment.
Swift returned the gesture and mentioned that Lautner played a very crucial role in the making of her album, Speak Now. "He was a very positive force in my life when I was making the Speak Now album," said Swift with gratitude and acknowledgment. She also adds a reference to her recently released video at the end. "And I want to say he did every single stunt you saw in that music video," she said.
