Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner split
Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner have split, and were never all that serious in the first place, sources tell a US website.
“It was never a big deal to begin with. The media made way more out of it than it is,” a source close to Swift says. “They went out on a few dates and realised this was just not going anywhere.”
A Lautner source corroborated that perspective, adding that the fact the two rising stars lived so far apart was a big factor in the low-key break-up.
“They became good friends and then went out a few times, but he lives in LA and she lives in Nashville and their busy schedules kept it from becoming more than it was,” the source told the website.
Representatives for Lautner and Swift had no comment.
The day after Lautner, 17, made a December 12 Saturday Night Live appearance in which he “defended” Swift’s honor, he flew down to Nashville to surprise Swift for her 20th birthday party. Sometime after the party, the pair decided that it made more sense just to remain friends.
