Taylor Swift Plays Down Taylor Lautner Romance

Posted by Adam

Taylor SwiftTAYLOR Swift has played down rumors she’s dating Twilight hunk Taylor Lautner.

In a new interview with InStyle magazine, the Love Story singer says she doesn’t have time for a boyfriend — and insists she’s happy being single.

“I’ve never thought it was a curse to be single,” she told the publication, “and at this point in my life, I’m in the mind-set where I choose to be single — like I got to light scented candles and write in my diary and I wouldn’t have time for that if I had a boyfriend right now!”

But Swift admits she and Lautner grew “close” while filming their upcoming movie Valentine’s Day.

“He and I have gotten really close,” she says. “It would be confusing on the set with two Taylors in the same scene. They were like, ‘Taylor, on your mark – no, not you, the other one!’ So halfway through the shoot, I said, ‘How about you guys call me Swifty and call him Taylor?’ ”

Lautner, 17, says he enjoyed playing Swift’s wanna-be boyfriend on the silver screen.

“Taylor is hilarious,” he said. “It was definitely not hard to play her love interest.”

It was recently reported that Lautner had met Swift’s mom — and impressed her!
