Is the Bad Blood singer rebounding from her fling with Matty Healy and into the arms of an NBA star?
Hey, all you Swifties, have you heard the news? There are already rumors about a new got waltzing (or shall we say, dribbling) his way into Taylor Swift’s love life following her brief fling with The 1975 English singer Matty Healy. According to multiple online reports, the Bejeweled singer has now been linked to Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves after allegedly being spotted together at a local bar in Arkansas.
The NBA baller’s older brother Spencer Reaves addressed the online theory by using laughing emojis about a June 5th tweet claiming, “Following her breakup, Taylor Swift was reportedly seen in an Arkansas Bar this weekend with star Laker basketball play Austin Reaves.”
The news of Taylor’s alleged hangout session with Austin came days later, when various media sources confirmed her breakup with Matty Healy. On Monday, June 5, TMZ reported that a close source to the Enchanted singer confirmed that she was indeed single after dating the rock musician for just under a month.
Another news source later claimed that their split was because of incompatibility and conflicting schedules, but the insider claimed that Taylor was simply having a good time. “They are both extremely busy and realized they’re not really compatible with each other,” the source commented. The source also stated, “Taylor’s friends want what’s best for her and aren’t shocked that their relationship fizzled out since she recently got out of a long-term relationship.”
