Swift reunited with Taylor Lautner in her latest music video, "I Can See You (Taylor's Version)," which premiered on July 7. Speaking at her concert ahead of the video's release, she called Lautner and his wife — also named Taylor Lautner — some of her "closest friends," NBC News reported at the time.

Swift also praised Lautner's wife, writing in an Instagram post that she was "awesome to hang with on set" while they filmed the music video earlier this year.

Swift and Lautner dated briefly in the fall of 2009 when they were 19 and 17 respectively. Lautner served as the inspiration for Swift's 2010 song, "Back to December."

Lautner's wife was a fan of Swift's and met her in 2010, eight years before she was introduced to Launter, she wrote in an Instagram post on June 8.

Here's a complete timeline of how the reunion came together more than a decade after Lautner and Swift's public breakup.
