Who's Taylor Swift's new guy?
So much for not dating.
Taylor Swift recently spoke about taking some time off from relationships, but according to Us Weekly, the 24-year-old (soon-to-be 25 on Saturday) pop singer may have a new man in her life: Matt Healy of English rock band The 1975. Hey, he already has something going for him -- he was born in 1989, the same year as Swift (it's also her new album title). Maybe he also loves the number 13?
Swift and Healy recently met backstage at the group's concert in Los Angeles.
"We exchanged numbers," Healy told Australian radio show Shazam Top 20 last month. "I mean, bloody hell, what am I going to do? Go out with Taylor Swift?...I wouldn't say no!"
Though there's no confirmation from Swift herself, sources tell Us Weekly that Swift and Healy have been quietly dating, sending texts to each other during their travels.
Swift fans (and even non-fans) are likely aware that the "Shake It Off" singer tends to weave her romantic relationships stories into song lyrics. This isn't the first musicians she's been attached to -- John Mayer, One Direction's Harry Styles and Joe Jonas have all previously been involved with Swift. She's also been linked to Jake Gyllenhaal and Conor Kennedy.
Swift recently told the November issue of Esquire magazine, "I just stopped dating people, because it meant a lot to me to set the record straight -- that I do not need some guy around in order to get inspiration, in order to make a great record, in order to live my life, in order to feel OK about myself. I wanted to show my fans the same thing."
