Taylor Swift delighted fans during her sold-out Eras Tour by bringing her ex-boyfriend Taylor Lautner on stage.

On July 7, the 33-year-old singer stunned the crowd at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City when she brought out the actor - best known for playing Jacob Black in the Twilight franchise - onstage.

This wasn't a random guest appearance as the 31-year-old star was joined by actress Joey King and Presley Cash, and they all featured in Swift's new music video for the song 'I Can See You' on her re-recorded third album: Speak Now (Taylor's Version).

In the video, both Lautner and King are burglars, and with help from Cash, they break into a museum filled with clothes and items from the musician's career over the years.

Watch the music video below: 

They all show off their combat skills as security tries to stop them, and eventually make it to the vault, where they break free the singer - donning her Speak Now era look - who had been trapped inside.

She then takes off with the cover art for her new version of her third studio album and the three of them then run out of the museum as explosions set off.

The new music video was released on Friday and attendees at the sold-out stadium were the first to witness its premiere.

During the 'Love Story' hitmaker's concert, Lautner made a grand entrance, surprising the thrilled fans with a cartwheel and backflip as he descended the stage ramp.

The Grammy-winning singer then expressed her gratitude towards her ex-boyfriend, acknowledging his influence during the creation of her Speak Now album.

"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," Swift said, as cited by Marca. "He and his wife have become some of my closest friends, and it's very convenient because we all share the same first name."

For his part, the Abduction star - who inspired Swift's song 'Back To December' - also opened up about his respect for his ex-girlfriend as an artist and as a person.

"I respect you so much, not just for the singer you are, the songwriter, the performer, but truly for the human you are," he said. "You are gracious, humble, and kind and I'm honored to know you."

The former couple began a relationship that lasted a few months back in 2009. They reportedly met on the set of 'Valentine's Day,' and first went public when they were seen attending a hockey game together.

Years later, Swift was romantically involved with Joe Alwyn for six years before getting close to the controversial Matty Healy before reportedly breaking up.

Meanwhile, Launter married fellow-same namer Taylor Dome (now also Taylor Lautner - the post must be confusing in their house) - who is a nurse-turned-influencer, in 2022 at a Californian wine estate.

In the tale of three Taylors, the trio hung out backstage with the actor posting a picture of them recreating the iconic Spiderman meme on Instagram.
