SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — A story that caught fire on social media claims music superstar Taylor Swift is dating Padres infielder Ha Seong Kim.
It's fiction.
It all started in mid-September when San Diego-based sports writer Al Scott posted on X that the two have been "quietly hanging out."
The post quickly gained attention and even got buzz in South Korea, where Kim is from.
But Scott was just playfully referencing a previous dating rumor involving Swift and Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs who were also said to be "quietly hanging out."
Scott posted a follow-up on X making it clear he was just being sarcastic.
