Taylor Swift's New Guy: Singer Dating One Direction's Harry Styles
Taylor Swift has a lot going on these days.
The 22 year old country starlet just released her fourth studio album, "Red," in late October, and now as she jets around the country to promote it, her love life has taken several turns as well.
Right around the time she released her new album, tabloids around the country reported that Swift had split with her boyfriend at the time, Conor Kennedy, a member of the family that has become a famed American political dynasty.
Swift was single for a bit, but it seems the singer is back off the market yet again.
Swift was spotted flirting and holding hands with Harry Styles, a member of the British boy band One Direction, when Swift visited the set of "The X Factor" to appear on the singing competition show and perform a song.
Co-host Mario Lopez, who shares his duties with co-host Khloe Kardashian, gave the audience the scoop about Swift and Styles' time together, which he witnessed first hand during rehearsals for the "X Factor" live taping.
"Taylor Swift was the special guest performer, and [here's] a little inside scoop for you," Lopez said. "During rehearsals, Harry from One Direction came and slapped me on the back, and said, 'Hey, Mario, how ya doing?' And I said, 'What are you doing here?' And he sort of [pointed] toward Taylor."
Lopez went on to give a little more gossip about the couple, adding that the pair "walked off hand in hand" when Lopez saw them together.
"So Taylor Swift and Harry from One Direction — you heard it here first. [They're] officially hanging out, I can say that much," Lopez said.
