Although she's a member of the songwriting hall of fame, has sold millions upon millions of albums and has consistently topped both the country and pop charts for years, somehow when you hear “Taylor Swift” you almost immediately think of her tumultuous dating life. She has a roster of guys that would make any woman or man jealous, ranging from a Kennedy to Harry Styles to Jake Gyllenhaal. The list truly does go on. No matter how charming, attractive or talented these guys might be, however, they always seem to have one thing in common: THEY allegedly did Taylor dirty. The pop sensation has never claimed fault for the downfall of one of her relationships and I don't see that changing anytime soon. While low-key, she does seem quite happy with Loki, I'm not confident that this fling is here for the long haul. Once she ‘shakes it off’, I'm sure it won't be long until her next suitor comes along. With that I leave you with 15 Men Taylor Swift Hasn’t Dated (But Probably Will):
15 Josh Hutcherson
While Josh Hutcherson’s personal track record is very ‘child star brunette’ heavy (Vanessa Hudgens, Victoria Justice, etc.), Taylor has no rhyme or reason whatsoever regarding looks, career or fame status. She has done it all, from werewolves to superheroes to boy band members (Okay, we know ⅔ of those were movie characters…). A 5’7 little nugget of cuteness might be just what Tay needs in her near future. He’s seemingly very sweet and quiet and might infuse a little genuinely into T’s hectic, celeb-filled life. Josh also doesn’t seem to have too much on his plate, which may be a good thing. We all know how busy Taylor is and I’m sure she’d love to know that he’s sitting at home waiting for her every day after work. Going team Peeta for a little while may do our girl Swifty some good. Plus, how ADORBS does TSwift and JHutch sound?!
14 Robert Pattinson
This idea sparked from a memory of Taylor Swift doing a pretty darn good Kristen Stewart impersonation on SNL quite a few years ago. She nailed the sighs and hair behind the ear tucks better than even Kristen herself. Seeing as though Robert Pattinson’s past includes quirky and somber KStew and his present boo is strange gal FKA Twigs, Taylor Swift is probably far too vanilla to be on Robert Pattinson’s radar. However, I can see her following the “opposites attract” mantra and gravitating toward his bad boy charm. He’s another one of the quiet ones, leaving a lot to the imagination. Although peculiar, this pairing could benefit Taylor in that she is quite the circle and could use some edge. I will say, though, that RPatz reportedly has less than ideal hygiene habits, which I don’t see going over well with the prim and proper blonde. Perhaps she’ll add a mandatory shower and cologne clause to the NDA I can only assume she makes her lovers sign.
13 Adam Devine
While they’re both ‘workaholics’, Adam definitely has a much more easygoing lifestyle than Tay and that would probably be something she’d find appealing. He’s never in the tabloids, making it easy for them to go off to her Nantucket house for a beachside getaway without the threat of a paparazzi overload (But let's be honest, that will probably never happen for her, regardless of her beau). He’s super goofy and doesn’t take himself too seriously which would compliment Taylor perfectly. Although you don’t get to see it often, she definitely has a funny side that’s just begging to be brought out and nourished. She’s honestly one of my favorite music industry SNL hosts and I can imagine them coming together in comedic harmony for a Funny or Die video, if not a movie. If anything, Adam could definitely mellow T.Swift out a bit whilst she plots the next steps in her inevitable domination of the male species and ultimately the world.
12 Rupert Grint
While rumors of her fling with Ed Sheeran may have been disappointingly false, this ginger-filled fantasy has a lot of potential. I can't say I know a ton about Rupert Grint as a person but, boy is Ron Weasely not just the cutest lil wizard around?! A sweet, quiet guy like Rupert (and how can a guy named Rupert not be sweet) would be perfect for Taylor. I imagine the pair canoodling in secret coffee shops on cobblestone roads and Rupert teaching Taylor how to do a British accent. Maybe they could even take a trip to Hollywood together to visit Hogwarts at Universal Studios. He seems a bit quirky and awkward but that's what makes him charming. I’m hoping Rupert isn’t as quiet and shy as Ron though, because I think Swifty needs someone with a bit more of a backbone. Well, even if she doesn’t fall for him naturally, he can just feed her a love potion and hope for the best.
11 Daniel Radcliffe
Sticking with the wizarding world of Harry Potter, Daniel Radcliffe seems like another potential beau for Taylor Swift. We already know she likes ‘em British and he has gorgeous blue peepers to boot! In addition to being an on-screen actor who has warmed our hearts for so many years, Radcliffe can also belt out a tune or two. He has starred in multiple musicals and off-Broadway plays in the past few years. Maybe he could even teach Taylor a thing or two! How adorable would those two be as the leads in something like Hairspray?! I know they’re casting Wicked: The Movie, right now, so here’s to hoping. Also, Taylor likes to name her cats after strong female leads (Meredith Grey from Grey’s Anatomy and Olivia Benson from Law & Order: SVU) so I wouldn’t be surprised if Hermoine Granger was up next. What a cute family photo that could be.
10 Chord Overstreet
Is it a shock to anyone else that Taylor Swift was never a guest star on Glee? She loves corny songs, younger men, and a large audience; seems like a perfect match. Unfortunately, that ship has sailed, but lucky for us, left behind is light-haired, luscious-lipped Chord Overstreet. Let me start off by planting in your head how utterly freakin’ gorgeous their kids would be. Blonde haired, blue eyed and probably ready to model straight from the womb. Second, how impeccably would Taylor be able to write a song about an ex-named CHORD?! It's the perfect musical moniker for her to strum and sing about and subsequently get stuck in our heads. Tay might be just the gal Chord needs to make his way back on the scene and into our hearts. I would not be disappointed hearing him croon sometime soon or perhaps seeing him on the big screen. Go get ‘em, T!!!
9 Shia LaBeouf
I foresee this relationship beginning with an art installation in which Shia makes Taylor apologize to all of her exes with a bag over her head that says “I’m Sorry” (If you don't understand this reference please do yourself a favor and Google it). It would be followed by a nude cage dance which would lead to watching all of Shia’s films in chronological order. I imagine the time ending with LeBouf forcing Taylor to paint a mural of him, painting a mural of himself, or something equally as strange. Essentially Shia would pay no attention to Taylor and would instead drag her down the rabbit hole that is his life. Maybe it would be a nice change of pace for her to not be the center of attention for a minute or ninety. If anything, we could at least hope for a casual Even Steven’s lyric in the inevitable breakup song.
8 Jesse McCartney
Where in the world is Carmen San Diego--I mean, Jesse McCartney? His career began with the sweeter than sugar boy band, Dream Street, who made that secretly less than sweet track, ‘It Happens Every time” (Think about the lyrics, people…). This short stint was followed by a brief solo singing career with a few catchy tunes for heart-eyed 6th graders everywhere. Past that, I've only known him to have made one time appearances on a few random sitcoms and to have voiced a character or two in an animated movie. Although I don't know much about him these days, I can assume that Jesse is still the sweet guy with a “beautiful soul” who I remember from 2004. This relationship would probably be as exciting as a piece of white bread wrapped in a beige cardigan, or perhaps a pita pocket filled with nothing but more pita pocket, but could work solely on the grounds of simplicity.
7 James Franco
If you asked me to think of Taylor’s polar opposite male counterpart in Hollywood, James Franco would be my go-to. As a result of his immensely strange behavior in the last few years, I honestly forgot James was a pretty successful actor at one point. From superfluous shirtless selfies in hotel beds to an obsession with Ryan Gosling memes, James has proven to be one of those people who, although a celebrity, maybe shouldn’t have social media. Taylor probably wouldn’t approve of these odd behaviors but would instead take it as an opportunity to mold yet another man. While Taylor has that “red lip classic” thing going for her, I can only describe James as “dirty hot”. We may not know the last time he showered but somehow we’re still interested. He’s a bit off the beaten path for Swift but she never fails to surprise us when it comes to love.
6 Zac Efron
Show me a straight woman in America who says she isn't attracted to Zac Efron and I'll show you a liar. He's painfully gorgeous, immensely charming, funnier than you'd expect, a singer and dancer and seemingly an all around good guy. While he made his debut as a Disney Channel star many years ago, he has come into his own in the past few years as quite the comedic actor. When he's not too busy charming her pants off, Zac can woo Taylor with a song, preferably one of her own. Fun fact: Taylor actually taught Mr. Efron how to play guitar (which I'm sure she reminds him of quite often). There is quite the adorable video of them doing a duet of “Pumped Up Kicks” on the Ellen Show if you want to check it out. To quote High School Musical: “This could be the start of something new”.
5 Nick Jonas
Let’s keep it in the family, shall we? After breaking up with her via a very short phone call, Joe was seemingly the only Jonas brother to be swallowed by the Taylor Swift wave. Being as it was almost a decade ago, I think it’s time that a new brother resurfaces. Kevin is married with a baby Jonas at home so that leaves Nick. Nick has nice boy charm with a hint of a raw hot sexual energy that may compliment Taylor’s good girl vibes really nicely. He’s just starting to find his niche in the music world amongst the Justin Biebers and Zayns of the industry. Taylor is more than established and could probably help him solidify his new image, just as she did for herself whilst transitioning from shy country teen to booming pop sensation. If anything, at least we could get one cute duet or two fierce breakup songs from the fling.
4 Drake
“I’m just too good for you. You take my love for granted. I just don't understand it.” Those are probably the lyrics TSwift would write post-Drizzy breakup if he hadn't already beaten her to it. Unfortunately for her, I guess she’ll have to find another way to publicly shame her soon to be ex. While they musically differ, parts of their personality seem almost too compatible to be true. Whether it be rescuing kittens, shedding a few tears over an ex that did them wrong or doing awkward dance moves in chunky sweaters, I don’t imagine Drake and Taylor running out of “fun date activities”. Being such a likable guy, he’d fit right into her squad, making him a perfect next target. Honestly, he's probably just too nice to turn her down. However, I don't expect this to be approved by the #RNavy anytime soon. Fierce and loyal, they'll protect what's rightfully theirs. RiRi and Drake 4eva!!!
3 Leonardo DiCaprio
Aside from a newly settled George Clooney (yes, we’re still in shock), Leonardo Dicaprio is one of the most infamous players of our generation. Much like Taylor, he's a serial monogamist with seemingly great intentions but maybe not the best track record. Leo can never seem to seal the deal with any of the PYTs he chooses to date, the current choice being supermodel Nina Agdal. One of these days, when he's inevitably done with her, TSwift will probably swoop in and fall for his undeniable charm. I see the partnership being beneficial in publicity for the pair (not that they need it) but potentially harmful in substance. Too much ego, so little time. Would Tay have made room for Jack on that piece of wood? Probably. But who’s to say if he’d treat her like Rose in Titanic or Naomi in Wolf of Wall Street. Only time will tell.
2 Justin Bieber
I bet you saw this one coming. It’s pretty much impossible to avoid Justin Bieber’s name for more than 24 hours these days and this list is no exception. Justin has gone from America’s sweetheart to an international bad boy over a small selection of years. However, his ability to sell albums and sell out stadiums has stayed the same. He’s probably one of the only artists on par with TSwift. Just imagine how coveted a ticket to a Bieber/Swift tour would be. In contrast to his troublemaker facade, Justin has completed the most Make-A-Wishes of any other celebrity. This seems like something Taylor would value, as her fans are everything to her. The only thing standing in their way of taking kids to Disneyland together is Selena Gomez, Selegendary herself. Being one of her best friends and a key member of Swift’s squad, I think she has the final say on this powerful pair.
1 Kanye West
HE MADE THAT CHICK FAMOUS. Let’s all take a break from the confines of reality for a second and just imagine the possibilities of this incredibly unlikely duo. With enough ego to cover the surface area of Calabasas and New York City combined and enough money to own pretty much my whole life and everyone I know, Tanye Swest (although I’m in love with that couple name) would be a whole lot to handle. I would probably stalk their Instagrams to the point of being fired from my job and I would refresh Tidal for a collab until I got carpal tunnel. What would they talk about? How much taller is she than him? I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS. I really have nothing positive to say about this pairing but I just can't get the idea out of my head. I mean, he's the one who said they “still might”... you know how it ends.
