This time the Anti-Hero songstress - who is currently on her Era’s tour - has been linked to Glee actress Dianna Agron. But all is not what it seems in the latest instalment of Taylor Swift’s relationship status.

The pair were friends and inseparable back in 2012 and the actress was included in the liner notes for the single ‘22’ from the album Red. Ashley Avignone, Claire Kislinger and Selena Gomez were also included in the notes.

At the time the ladies were pictured together at events and birthday parties. Taylor gave a shout-out to her friends Lorde, Sam Smith, Selena and Dianna during her acceptance speech for the Dick Clark Award for Excellence at the 2014 American Music Awards. 

This led to fan theories that the two were more than just friends and actually romantically involved giving them the nickname ‘Swiftgron’. They believed Dianna was the inspiration for the single ‘22’. 

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone Dianna was asked about being the inspiration she explained “That's more because of a friendship than being the inspiration for the song. But I would not be the person to ask about that. I cannot claim that!”

Speaking about the decade-long rumours Dianna said “I mean, there have been many stories about my dating life that are so wildly untrue. That's funny.”
