London’s Wembley Stadium has seen its share of legendary moments, but nothing quite compares to the sheer magnitude of friendship bracelets, chicken nuggets, and emotional backflips that went down on Aug. 19, 2024. Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour entered its fourth glorious night, and as if the world needed more Taylors in one place, enter Taylor Lautner and his equally Taylor-iffic wife, Taylor Dome Lautner. Yes, you read that right—there were two Taylors in the VIP section. Confusing? Absolutely. Iconic? Obviously.
The Swiftie Power Couple: TayLaut and TayDome
Once upon a time in 2009, Taylor Lautner dated Taylor Swift, and now, in 2024, he’s at her concert, living his best ex-boyfriend life, cheering her on like a proud parent at a middle school talent show. Lautner, now 32, and his wife, Taylor Dome, 27, shared their evening escapades via Instagram Stories, showing off the modern-day equivalent of a wedding band: friendship bracelets. Forget diamonds, these woven accessories are forever.
To really crank up the nostalgia, Lautner posted a video of Dome and friends dancing to You Belong with Me. That’s right—his wife was gleefully jamming out to his ex’s biggest hit about teenage longing. If there were an Olympic event for emotional maturity, Lautner just snagged gold, silver, and bronze.
Chicken Nuggets & Heart Sunglasses: Dome’s Moment
Taylor Dome—clearly a woman with priorities—danced to I Knew You Were Trouble with producer Johnny Rays before joining songwriter Aodhan King in the crowd for an impromptu chicken tender handout. Because what’s a stadium show without fried snacks? In a move straight out of the “living your best life” handbook, Dome snapped a picture with her beloved nugget, captioning it, “Only photo I got tonight was me and my chicken nugget.” Honestly, could anything be more relatable?
Wearing heart-shaped sunglasses like the pop-culture queen she is, Dome added, “Very on brand.” Yes, Dome. We see you, and we salute your unwavering dedication to both snacks and love.
The Lautner Swiftie Saga: Backflips, Cartwheels, and Zero Diss Tracks
Now, this isn’t Taylor Lautner’s first rodeo on the Eras Tour. In fact, he’s been here before—literally cartwheeling and backflipping on stage during the Kansas City show in July 2023. Why? Because nothing says “I’m on good terms with my ex” like performing gymnastics in front of 75,000 Swifties.
Speaking of which, Lautner proudly wears the badge of honor that comes with being Swift’s “best ex.” In his words, it’s a “nice compliment” to be the only one without a diss track. No lyrical roasting here—just friendship bracelets, nostalgia, and somersaults.
Lautner has admitted that performing in front of Swifties is next level. “I’ve been in front of a lot of people before, but never 75,000 Swifties,” he confessed. “It’s a different level of passion.” Translation: it’s like walking into a lion’s den, but the lions are all wearing friendship bracelets and screaming the lyrics to All Too Well (10 Minute Version) with tears streaming down their faces.
The Future: More Taylors? More Nuggets?
With Lautner and Dome repeatedly showing up at Swift’s concerts, we can’t help but wonder if they’re angling for the title of Swiftie MVPs. Maybe next time they’ll launch a chicken tender food truck, or start selling custom friendship bracelets on Etsy. Either way, one thing’s for sure: when the Taylors are in the house, it’s going to be a nugget-fueled, backflip-heavy, bracelet-sharing extravaganza.
Stay tuned for the next chapter in this saga. Perhaps it’ll involve a duet between Taylor Swift and her two biggest fans—or at the very least, more chicken nuggets.
