Taylor Lautner and Taylor Swift now officially just friends
(In case you were, y'know, worried, and in case you needed an "official" stamp on their status.)
The romance was neither a contrived one, according to Gossip Cop, nor a big deal to begin with, a source tells People. And the fact that he lives in L.A. and she lives in Nashville was -- surprise -- indeed a factor.
Just a couple of kids going on a few dates, with a few gabillion-zillion paparazzi trying to check whether there was a good-night kiss.
Apparently it ended -- whatever "it" was -- sometime after Lautner's Dec. 12 "Saturday Night Live" appearance and his Nashville visit the next day for Swift's 20th birthday.
Taylor and Taylor, we've embedded a little video for you after the jump ...
Have a great new year, ya crazy kids.

Taylor Swift, I'm here for you. Come to Buffalo. Our age difference & the fact that I'm broke doesn't make any difference to me. Love conquers all.

What a relief. She's 20 and he is barely 17. If the genders were reversed, everyone would have ben screaming statutory....something.

He probably got tired of her complaining about how that Jonas the Whale guy dumped her. Happy birthday, Davy Jones! You are the best!

I guess the PR job is over. No new movie to promote, or new song. They were probably tired to try and work out who is the blander or more boring of the two.
