“We stayed friendly, we would see each other now and then. But we then did fall out of touch and didn’t talk for a while,” Lautner continued, adding that the duo was "so young” when they were first together. “But I’ve always had the deepest respect for who she is as a person before anything else.”

“Honestly I would say one of the greater things to happen in my life over the last year is the rekindling of our friendship," he added.

Lautner, who is married to Taylor Dome, even made a guest appearance at the singer's Eras Tour stop in Kansas City, Mo., in July with his wife. The trio appeared in Swift's music video for "I Can See You" and even joined her on stage.

"It's honestly all her, she just makes it so easy," Dome said of working with Swift. "Before we'd even gone to film the music video, the first text she sent him when she was pitching the idea, she included me in it. And she is so inclusive of me in everything, which is so kind of her. But she's just kind, and she's very thoughtful. She makes it very easy."
