Playing it coy when Cody Alan of CMT Radio asked her during an interview aired Thursday night, October 22 about the nature of her relationship with rumored boyfriend Taylor Lautner, Taylor Swift simply said "I don't know." She, however, didn't hesitate to sing her praise for the actor, gushing "he's an amazing guy and we're really close ... and ah ... yep."

"We're in a movie together and I am really excited about seeing it," continued the young country music star when referring to her and Lautner's movie "Valentine's Day". About the comedy-romance film, which is set to be released in U.S. theaters on February 12 next year, she opened up, "I haven't seen 'Valentine's Day' at all. So hopefully we'll get to do a private screening because we both wanna see it so bad 'cause our scene was so much fun to do, it was hilarious doing this scene!"

During the interview, Swift also spilled the beans on her upcoming gig, which is hosting "Saturday Night Live". "I'm so excited, not sure if I'm ready," she stated. "I try to prepare for everything beyond the extent of preparation. So I have all these ideas for skits, I have like 10 ideas right now, I'm probably gonna walk in there with 35 ideas."

Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner added fuel to the persistent rumor of them dating, which has been brewing after they are billed to star as dating couple in "Valentine's Day", when they were spotted sharing a long embrace after one of her recent concerts in Chicago. Besides, they were also spotted attending a hockey game together in L.A. on Sunday, October 25 and having dinner with Swift's mom the next day.
