Taylor Lautner nervously backflipped on Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour stage

Taylor Lautner invented a whole new category for acrobatics: the backflip. This move has been performed at many Taylor Swift concerts.

The month of July is a time for celebration. Twilight star came out onto the stage during a Kansas City stop of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour and did a backflip down it. He came onto the stage to celebrate starring in Swift’s recently released “I Can See You” music video — alongside Joey King and Presly Cash, who did not do backflips on stage when they came out.

And on Tuesday’s episode of the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, he finally opened up about the reason why:

I do this weird thing and it doesn’t make sense, so forgive me. But when I freak out and I’m really nervous and I black out, I just go straight to backflip. As I came out, I noticed this like walkway. It was about 60 yards away. And I’m like, “I have to walk down this whole thing? This is going to be so uncomfortable.” I was like, “Just backflip, and I’ll take up the space and it will be over.”

It would not be Lautner’s last backflip at an event with Taylor Swift. He once again did a backflip at a screening of Taylor Swift’s Eras TourConcert movie. In October, he and wife Taylor Lautner (yes, they’re both named Taylor Lautner) hosted a screening of the concert film — at which he did another backflip, this time with the Spider-Man landing.

What will be the next backflip? If the Taylors continue to work together, and if he’s on an even bigger stage, maybe we’ll get a full tumbling pass or cheerleading routine? We can only dream.
