Taylor Lautner, former Twilight Saga star and ex-boyfriend of Taylor Swift, made a rare comment about the singer in a recent interview. Lautner revealed that he thought Kanye West’s interruption of Swift’s 2009 MTV Video Music Awards acceptance speech was a “practiced skit”.

The moment, which shocked audiences around the world, saw West take the microphone from Swift as she accepted her award for Best Female Video and declare that Beyonce should have won instead.

Lautner, who was dating Swift at the time, said that he thought the interruption was a “rehearsed skit” and that he was surprised by the public’s reaction to it. He added that he was “shocked” by the backlash West received for the incident.

The actor also shared his thoughts on Swift’s songwriting, calling her “incredible” and saying that her lyrics are “honest and real”.

The comments come after years of speculation about the former couple’s relationship. Lautner and Swift dated briefly in 2009, but the pair have not spoken publicly about their relationship since.
