Earlier this summer, rumors started that Lakers star Austin Reaves was dating music icon Taylor Swift. They weren’t particularly convincing rumors to anyone paying attention — they were started by a meme Twitter account called “The Refrigerator” with no actual history of breaking news — but enough other outlets fell for it that rumors began nonetheless.
Reaves has already made it clear he has never met or even spoken to Swift, and even confirmed he has a girlfriend at a fan event in the Philippines when asked if he was single.
