Taylor Lautner found himself in a very awkward position during the 2009 MTV VMAs — and now he’s spilling alllll the tea!
During a new episode of his and his wife Tay Lautner‘s podcast, The Squeeze, the Twilight star admitted he was caught totally off-guard when Ye stormed the stage to interrupt T. Swizzle’s acceptance speech after she won Best Female Video back in the day. The actor (who clearly has a thing for dating other Taylor’s — LOLz!) was presenting the award to his then-girlfriend, placing him on stage for the pop culture showdown.

Considering the absurdity of the moment and the fact they were in the middle of a televised award show, Taylor immediately thought the whole thing was a prank, he recalled:
LOLz! Because of this assumption, he was seen “laughing and giggling” in the background. He continued:
OMG! He thought wrong!! The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl lead didn’t realize something was amiss until he saw the Midnights artist’s face and it suddenly hit him:
Dang. Explaining to the pop star why he was clapping and laughing during Kanye’s outburst must have been really uncomfortable!
