No, it's not 2009. And yes, you did just see the two Taylors mentioned together in a headline as if it is.
Taylor Lautner, of Twilight and Abduction fame, showed up and showed off during the opening weekend of Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour film.
The actor, who briefly dated Swift in 2009, entertained a crowd at a movie theater by doing what he does: backflips.

According to Billboard, his wife Tay—yes, his wife's name is Taylor—shared several videos of her husband's moves on her Instagram stories.
And people on social media could not get enough of Lautner's signature move.

While several people on social media thought it was a bit odd for Lautner to show up for his ex's movie, the truth is that all three Taylors are great pals.
Plus, Tay is a huge Swiftie.
In fact, Lautner made a surprise Eras Tour appearance in Kansas City where Swift premiered her "I Can See You" music video, in which he stars alongside Joey King.
After he—you guessed it—flipped down the catwalk, Swift shared with fans of her sold-out show:
“He was a very positive force in my life when I was making the Speak Now album, and I want to say he did every single stunt that you saw in that music video."
“He and his wife have become some of my closest friends, and it’s very convenient because we all share the same first name.”
