Celebrity Prom Stories

Ah, prom. It can be awesome — or, it can be...well, less so. Think it's any different for celebrities? Let's find out!

TAYLOR LAUTNER TEEN: You tested out of high school early and are already taking college classes, but did you get to go to your prom?
Taylor: I did! At my school juniors and seniors both go to the prom. It was fun. I forget where we had it, it was somewhere in L.A. at some art museum. It was really a lot of fun. It was a long night. I think it finished like 12 or 1 in the morning.

TEEN: Who did you take?
Taylor: I took a friend of mine from school.

TEEN: As a guy, were you like psyched about prom or did you not really care either way if you went?
Taylor: No, I was excited, I was really excited. You always watch a prom in movies growing up, and then it’s like, "Oh, wow, I’m at prom!" It was a cool experience. But, yeah, I tried to stay in school as long as I could. I went to a public school my whole life until this year. I'm doing a TV show on NBC (My Own Worst Enemy), so I would just be missing too much (school), so I tested out of high school and now I'm in college.

TEEN: That's great! Taylor: It's kind of scary. I'm taking 10 credits, so I mean, my two-year degree will probably take me four but I'm going at it!

TEEN: Do you dance?
Taylor: Sure, I try.

TEEN: Is there a song that you hear now that reminds you of your prom? Taylor: I think when prom was going on the big song was "Stronger" by Kanye West.
