Austin Reaves says he’s never met Taylor Swift in response to dating rumors

Austin Reaves didn’t quite say that he and Taylor Swift are never, ever getting back together during his appearance on the “All the Smoke” podcast this week, but only because he says they’ve never met.

For those wondering why Reaves, 25, was asked about rumors that one would have a hard time believing even in their wildest dreams, earlier this summer, the man was romantically linked to Swift, 33, when Lakers parody account “The Refrigerator” posted a meme following the Twitter trend of making up new relationships for celebrities after they split with their previous partner, joking that Reaves was seen at an Arkansas bar with Swift following the end of her rumored fling with The 1975 frontman Matt Healy.
