In all likelihood, this week’s US Weekly piece on Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner is tabloid truth-stretching up to its old shenanigans. The one-page “Taylor & Taylor: Back on?” article predictably spun L.A. lunch and dinner spottings of the duo as “intimate” and “romantic”. That they weren’t seen kissing or doing anything that a bona fide couple would do to confirm a relationship seemed of little consequence to US Weekly. Yet, I have to admit, such blatantly speculative stories give more credence to rumors about Kristen and Rob.
For one, Taylor and Taylor once admitted they were dating, and in December of 2009 said they were no longer a couple, but would remain friends. The fact that they appeared to be dating when they said they were, and not to be dating in the elapsing time since the breakup, found people taking them at their word. Now, consider Rob and Kristen: she has never admitted to them dating and initial reports that Rob did on two occasions could not be definitively confirmed. Yet, tabloid reportage on Rob and Kristen’s signals has been far less of a stretch than this week’s “Taylor & Taylor story”.
