Swift: 'Lautner is an amazing guy'

Taylor Swift has played down speculation that she is romancing Twilight star Taylor Lautner, reports People.

Rumours that the Valentine's Day co-stars were dating were fuelled earlier this month after Lautner was spotted attending a Swift concert.

The pair were later seen watching a hockey match together in Los Angeles.

Speaking to CMT Radio's Cody Alan about rumours that they are a couple, Swift said: "I don't know, he's an amazing guy and we're really close... and um… yep!

"We're in a movie together and I am really excited about seeing it."

The 19-year-old also admitted that she and Lautner wanted to "do a private screening because we both want to see it so bad, because our scene was so much fun to do, it was hilarious doing this scene".
