Taylor Lautner is going back to the 2009 Video Music Awards. The Twilight star recalled the night that then-girlfriend Taylor Swift’s awards show win was overshadowed by Kanye West. Not only did Lautner, 30, revisit the incident — he also expressed his regret over his initial reaction.

During the Wednesday, February 1, episode of his “The Squeeze” podcast, wife Taylor Dome asked him which career moment he’d choose to relive again.“Probably the 2009 VMAs when I presented the award to Taylor,” the Valentine’s Day actor replied.“[I] was unaware that the Kanye thing was not a skit.”During the September 2009 awards show, Lautner was tasked with presenting the Best Female Video award.

He announced that Swift, now 33, had won the coveted honor for her “You Belong With Me” music video. As the Valentine’s Day actress — whom Lautner dated between August and December 2009 — started to begin her speech, she was interrupted when West, now 45, rushed onto the stage.“Yo, Taylor, I’m really happy for you, I’mma let you finish.

But Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time [with ‘Single Ladies’]! One of the best videos of all time,” the Yeezy designer proclaimed, grabbing the microphone.West shrugged his shoulders before handing the microphone back to the country star.
