Taylor Swift introduces beau Lautner to mum

Washington (ANI): Singer Taylor Swift has given clear hints that she and Taylor Lautner are an item, after she introduced the Twilight hunk to her mum during an intimate dinner date. The pair fuelled rumours of romance when they were spotted embracing during a night out at a hockey game between the Los Angeles Kings and the Columbus Blue Jackets at the city's Staples Center on Sunday.

While the couple claims that they are 'just friends', Swift sent gossip mills into a spin after setting up a meeting between the actor and her mother, Andrea. The 'Love Story" hitmaker and Lautner are starring in upcoming movie 'Valentine's Day". The trio was spotted dining at swanky restaurant Bistro Garden in Studio City, California earlier this week, and the singer's mum seemingly liked her daughter's alleged boyfriend.

"The three of them sat together in the main dining room. He seemed a little nervous at first but the young lady kept smiling at him and soon he appeared to relax," Contactmusic quoted a waiter as telling RadarOnline.com. "They (Swift and Lautner) smiled a lot and kept looking at each other, but they weren't holding hands. They definitely looked like a couple in love though," added the waiter.
