Is Taylor Swift dating Harry Styles' bestie Zach Braff?

Zach Braff could be the latest inspiration for Taylor Swift’s next breakup revenge song with rumours the songstress is dating the ‘Scrubs’ actor.

Following Zach’s recent breakup with ex Taylor Bagley, the pair were spotted getting cosy backstage at Zach’s latest Broadway project ‘Bullets over Broadway’ last month, sparking rumours that their long-standing flirty relationship is finally official.

"Taylor [Swift] and Zach have had a flirty relationship for a while, and [the other] Taylor was always jealous - it was part of the reason they broke up," a source close to Taylor told Heat Magazine. " She and Zach were even posing for selfies and posting them online while Zach and [the other] Taylor were in the process of split up.”

However, knowing Swifty’s track record of capitalising on every breakup, Zach’s keen to stay out of the firing line unlike his buddy Harry Styles and Taylor’s ex-flame Jake Gyllenhaal - who inspired the hit 'I knew you were trouble.'

“Zach's keen to keep this out of the public eye - he doesn't want to be part of her songwriting and Taylor says she's ready for something more mature now,” the insider added. “Zach likes Taylor and is keen to pursue a romance. She's into it, too.”

A rep for Taylor though denied the claims, telling Us Weekly: "Despite the rumours, Taylor has never been on a date with Mr. Braff, and he has never been to her home. Like, never. Ever."
