Britney Spears tried to get Taylor Lautner to date her sister.

The 24-year-old actor admitted that the pop sensation once tried to convince him to go on a date with her younger sister Jamie Lynn Spears, 25, but he politely declined.

His Scream Queens co-star John Stamos, 54, told Billboard magazine:

"Britney tried to fix Taylor up with her sister one time."

To which the Twilight star had to confess: "That was a few years ago. Yeah it was a long time ago. We did not go out. It did not happen."

And Taylor might have missed his chance to romance Jamie Lynn, as she is now settled in Louisiana, where she raises her daughter Maddie, eight, with her husband of two years Jamie Watson.

Meanwhile, the Valentines Day actor has been romantically linked with a number of gorgeous starlets in his time, including Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, and Lily Collins.

Recently, the star admitted during an interview with Entertainment Tonight that he had "a good time" with the Blank Space hitmaker during the brief time they dated.

He said: "It was a good time. It was a fun few months there."

The Cuckoo actor then came under fire about his relationship with the pop megastar when he appeared in a live Facebook interview with John and fellow Scream Queens cast member Lea Michele, who approached the subject.

Lea said: "You dated Taylor Swift. I remember that. Should we talk about it?

"Didn't she write a song about you?"

Taylor replied: "That's what she does. She writes songs."

Eventually, Taylor admitted that he does in fact listen to the Bad Blood musician's songs.

He said: "It's good music. I listen to it."
