Taylor Swift has rounded up a unique crew of music video co-stars!
Eagle-eyed 'Swifties' might recognize a particular presence in the brand-new video for the "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)" vault track, "I Can See You!" Swift's highly-anticipated rerecording for 2010's "Speak Now" was released on Friday, July 7th.
The magic wouldn't stop with the album's Friday release! At her 'Eras Tour' stop in Kansas City, the "Mine" singer had a surprise for her audience; she debuted the music video and brought out some very special guests!
Swift Recruited Actresses Who Starred In The Original Video For A 'Speak Now' Track!
Swift's company on stage channeled all of the #throwbackthursday vibes!
The music video for "I Can See You" features two actresses who appeared in the music video for the "Speak Now" track, "Mean."
Fans of the "Kissing Booth" film series may recognize its leading lady, Joey King, and "A Star Is Born" actress Presley Cash as young extras.
These ladies are now all grown up and they accompanied Swift on stage for the video's big unveiling. The three women were also accompanied by a key player in the making of Swift's newest music video: none other than Jacob Black (and Swift's ex, himself!) Taylor Lautner!
Many Swifties in attendance captured Lautner, 31, doing backflips on his way to the stage.

Lautner also delighted Swifties and his Instagram followers on Saturday morning with snaps from the "I Can See You" video shoot! He brought a special guest to the set, his wife, mental health advocate, and influencer, Taylor Dome!
In Lautner's snaps, the trio is seen reenacting a popular Spiderman meme where three versions of the superhero stand in a circle and point at one another.
He wrote, "Secret's out! Tonight was wild" in the caption, to the delight of a few famous followers! Influencer Natasha Bure and Bachelor Nation stars Zac Clark, Susie Evans, and Rachael Kirkconnell expressed their excitement!
Dome, who co-hosts a podcast with her husband, also commemorated the big day on set.

In addition to the trio posing for the camera, Mrs. Lautner included a throwback photo of her younger self attending one of Swift's concerts!
Dome wrote, "The Tale of Three Taylors🤍Everything that @taylorlautner said last night on stage is so true. @taylorswift you are not only one of the most talented people to ever walk this earth (truly don’t think there is anything you can’t do) but you are also one of THE kindest people. You welcomed my husband and I into your camp with open arms and the warmest heart. The way you are so down to earth and authentically yourself after all these years of being in the spotlight is inspiring. Your passion for your work and genuine love for your fans is something so incredible. I am honored to call you a friend🫶🏼 2023 ➡️ 2010."
Many of the same Bachelor Nation stars also commented on Dome's photo. However, Kaitlyn Bristowe left an incredibly specific request; she wrote, "I just wanna know what she smells like? Is that weird?"

The woman of the hour also commemorated the video's release on the 'gram, and would also give insight into the behind-the-scenes process!
The "Don't Blame Me" singer wrote in the caption, "WELL. SO. I’ve been counting down for months and finally the ‘I Can See You’ video is out. I wrote this video treatment over a year ago and really wanted to play out symbolically how it’s felt for me to have the fans helping me reclaim my music. I had my heart set on @joeyking, @taylorlautner, and @helloimpresleycash starring in it."
She continued, "Joey and Presley had been in the video for ‘Mean’ when they were 9 and 13 and they are back and so ridiculously bad a--!! Taytay is INCREDIBLE in this (didn’t have a stunt double!) and shout out to @taylautner for being so awesome to hang with on set. The Tale of 3 Taylors 😆 I always wanted to direct fight scenes/a heist storyline and had the most incredible time plotting this out with my amazing DP @selajon. So proud of this one."
