WATCH: Taylor Lautner admits Taylor Swift’s ‘Back to December’ is about him

MANILA, Philippines – Taylor Swift has been known to write songs about her famous ex-boyfriends – sometimes scathing or full of lament. Now, one of them speaks up about which song was written about him: actor Taylor Lautner, and it took Lea Michele to press him to just admit it.

Together with John Stamos, they spoke in a video streamed on Facebook Live to promote the upcoming season 2 of Scream Queens, when the discussion painfully shifted to past relationships.

“You dated Taylor Swift, I remember that,” Lea told Taylor, who then gave a forced laugh, hesitating to talk about it.

“Didn’t she write a song about you? I think it’s the one about a sweater and a hat, right?”

While the former Glee star confuses the lyrics – almost making it up, Taylor cracks up so hard, saying “I don’t know where she got this ‘hat’ thing.”

Lea almost gets it: “It’s like, your hat in December!” 

Then Taylor finally blurts it out: “It’s called ‘Back to December.”

Savage investigative skills, Lea Michele! Watch her “interrogation” at the 9:30 mark in the video below:

This is how “Back to December” actually goes:

So this is me swallowing my pride,

Standing in front of you saying, “I’m sorry for that night,”

And I go back to December all the time.

It turns out freedom ain’t nothing but missing you.

Wishing I’d realized what I had when you were mine.

I’d go back to December, turn around and make it all right.

I go back to December all the time.

Taylor Swift is quite the “confessional songwriter,” as Teen Vogue puts it, and some of her songs were written with her exes in mind, and often, listeners just resort to informed guesses: “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” (allegedly about Jake Gyllenhaal); “I Knew You Were Trouble” and “Style” (it’s practically in the title: Harry Styles), and more. – Rappler.com
