Los Angeles Lakers star of $50 million corrects dating rumors with Taylor Swift

Appearing on 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.

After the Playoffs, a number of tweets surfaced about Reaves and Taylor Swift having dinner together in Arkansas, where Austin was born and raised.

At this time, the female singer with the highest music stream of all time on Spotify has just broken up with her lover, leading to netizens speculating that she intends to date the Lakers player.

It was not until this time, about 6 weeks after being rumored to be dating Taylor, that Austin Reaves officially spoke up.

"It's all nonsense," the young Lakers star said. “I have never met Taylor, nor have I ever spoken to her. They said we were at a bar and had dinner together in Arkansas, all of which was not true, all made up."

Everything stemmed from a Twitter post that read: "After breaking up with her ex, Taylor Swift was spotted at an Arkansas bar with Los Angeles Lakers basketball star Austin Reaves."

While the tweet contained no images or video, it still trended, garnering more than 4 million views, thousands of likes, and many shares.

Starting from here, many pages put this information on the platforms and rumors of love between Taylor Swift and Austin Reaves spread.

After all, all of this information is fake and has been personally confirmed by Austin Reaves.

In the past few weeks, Reaves has been signed a contract worth nearly 54 million US dollars to stick with the Los Angeles Lakers for another 4 years.

The 25-year-old will continue to play as one of the most important pieces in the squad, the perfect satellite model alongside the duo LeBron James - Anthony Davis.
