Once rumored to be dating Taylor Swift, Los Angeles Lakers star Austin Reaves has affirmed that he has never met the pop star and everything is nonsense.

In the latest episode of the All The Smoke podcast with two former NBA players, Stephen Jackson and Matt Barnes, Los Angeles Lakers player Austin Reaves was asked about dating rumors with Taylor Swift : “It’s all nonsense. I have never met Taylor, never talked to her. They said we were at a bar and then went to dinner together in Arkansas, none of it is true, it’s all made up” – Young Los Angeles Lakers star said.

Previously, rumors appeared on social networks that Reaves and Taylor Swift had dinner together in Arkansas, where Austin was born and raised. At this time, the female singer with the highest music streams of all time on Spotify had just broken up with her lover, leading to netizens speculating that she intended to date the Lakers player.

In June, Taylor Swift and her infamous boyfriend Matty Healy officially broke up quickly. The information was released just one day after the British singer suddenly kissed the security guard at the concert of the group The 1975. This video spread quickly online, making many viewers upset with her new boyfriend. The singer was born in 1989. It is still unclear whether this event is the cause of the emotional rift between the two.
