She may be able to remain composed while being rudely interrupted by Kanye West, but Taylor Swift got into a big ol' flap when Ellen Degeneres asked her about rumoured new beau Taylor Lautner.

The country star came over all coy and buried her face in her hands as she was quizzed about her recent dates with the Twilight beefcake.

Attempting to explain their trip to see the Columbus Blue Jackets take on the Los Angeles Kings at the Staples Center at the weekend, Taylor said: "Well, I like hockey, and it turns out so does he."

She answered Ellen's "He's cute" tease with a giggle.

As well as Sunday's hockey game, the cute couple were also spotted dining together at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse in Beverly Hills on Wednesday night.

The Taylor twosome met while filming the romantic comedy Valentine's Day, which hits cinemas in 2010.
