During a recent appearance on "The Unplanned Podcast with Matt & Abby," Taylor Lautner revealed fans have been pronouncing his last name wrong for years. The "Twilight" star shared that the correct way to say Lautner is actually "Lowt-ner" and not "Lawt-ner."

When his hosts expressed surprise at the actual pronunciation, Lautner took the blame for allowing the mispronunciation to slide for so long. He said, "It is my fault nobody knows how it is pronounced because I never corrected anybody for decades. I just never in interviews or anything stopped anyone and said, 'It's not Lawt-ner, it's Lowt-ner.'"

The actor further explained that he never took the mispronunciation as a big issue, even now. He said, "I don't care. Laht-ner. Lawt-ner. Lowt-ner. It's all the same thing."

Lautner recently made headlines because of his reunion with ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift. The "Twilight" star was a surprise guest at the singer's performance in Kansas City, Missouri, as part of her Eras Tour. He attended to help Swift debut the video for "I Can See You," which he features.

Actresses Presley Cash and Joey King were also featured in the music video and were present at the debut. Lautner and Swift's reunion came amid her release of "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)," which is a new recording of the original 2010 album. The album features the song "Back to December," inspired by Swift and Lautner's past romantic relationship.

Before she introduced him to her fans and the stage, Swift shared some sweet words about Lautner. She said, "He was a very positive force in my life when I was making the Speak Now album, and I want to say he did every single stunt that you saw in that music video."

The "Wildest Dreams" singer also said Lautner and his wife are now "some of my closest friends," which is funny and convenient because all three are named Taylor. When he finally took the stage, Lautner thanked Swift for her sweet words and also said kind things about the Grammy award-winning singer.

He said, "I respect you so much. Not just for the singer you are, the songwriter, the performer — but truly for the human you are. You are gracious, humble, kind and I'm honored to know you." The former couple's reunion was met with applause and cheers from fans at the performance and on social media.

After the performance, Swift and Lautner made posts showing them and his wife, Taylor Dome Lautner. A photo showed the trio recreating the famous Spider-Man meme, where three identical spider-men point at each other in confusion. Lautner captioned his post, "Secrets out! Tonight was wild."

They recreated the photo to joke about the irony of all three having Taylor as their first names. The famous meme is from season 1 of the 1960 Spider-Man cartoon and has been recreated by many celebrities. In 2022, Spider-Man actors Tom Holland, Tobey Maguire, and Andrew Garfield recreated the meme while promoting "Spider-Man: No Way Home,"

Taylor Dome also shared a photo of herself, Lautner, and Swift, as they smiled brightly at the camera. She included a throwback photo of when she first met the "You Belong With Me" singer in 2010, which has gone viral on social media severally.

She captioned the post, "The Tale of Three Taylors?Everything that @taylorlautner said last night onstage 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."
