Death Threats and Drama: One Direction Fans Attack Taylor Swift Over Harry Styles Rumour

Dear Taylor Swift – have you ever had a romance that wasn’t surrounded by drama? We’re only asking, because according to the latest reports online, the Love Story singer is currently receiving death threats over her alleged new romance.

Yes, apparently some One Direction fans are threatening to murder Taylor Swift following rumours that she’s been stepping out with Harry Styles.

Reports that the two were getting close surfaced when Taylor was spotted holding Harry’s hand backstage after performing on the US X Factor.  According to a source, Tarry (that’s Taylor + Harry) were seen “joking, laughing and getting very flirty.” Ooh-err!

Is Harry Styles Taylor Swift's new man?

Oh and also, Mario Lopez, the host of the US X Factor, revealed on his radio show that Taylor and Harry are very close.

“Taylor Swift was the special guest performer, and here’s a little inside scoop for you. During rehearsals, Harry from One Direction came and slapped on the back and said, ‘Hey Mario, how ya doing?’ And I said, ‘What are you doing here?’ And he sort of pointed towards Taylor,” said Mario.

The presenter then claimed that he saw them walking off “hand in hand.”

“So Taylor Swift and Harry from One Direction – you heard it here first. They’re officially hanging out, I can say that much,” added Mario.

Since Mario’s confirmation of Tarry’s romance, poor Taylor has been receiving a lot of hate online. However, given Harry’s notorious playboy reputation, we imagine it won’t be long before she’s penning another one of her (ridiculously catchy) break up tunes…
