Ice hockey? Sure. Tonsil hockey? Not so fast!

When it comes to Valentine's Day costar Taylor Lautner, Taylor Swift is choosing her words – and well-timed giggles – carefully.

The 19-year-old singer sat down with Ellen DeGeneres for an interview that is set to air Thursday, and found herself on the hot seat. After establishing that Swift shares scenes with the Twilight hottie in the upcoming romantic comedy, DeGeneres shows a picture of them kissing.
