This season, Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves has had a breakout season, emerging as a legitimate star in the league and helping lead the Lakers to a deep run through the NBA Playoffs despite going undrafted out of college. He’s come a long way – so far that he’s even been mentioned in dating rumors with pop star Taylor Swift.
This week, rumors began to swirl that Taylor Swift had been seen at an Arkansas bar with Austin Reaves following the pop sensation’s recent split from Matty Healy of The 1975.
It would certainly be a wild and unexpected turn of events for both Swift and Reaves, and it generated plenty of buzz on social media.
Unfortunately, it does not appear that the rumors are true. If they are, it seems that nobody told Austin Reaves’ brother, Spencer.
After seeing the report on social media, Spencer Reaves couldn’t help but laugh at the prospect of his brother getting together with the biggest pop star in the world. He reacted to the tweet with nothing but six crying laughing emojis.
Spencer Reaves also revealed a key hole in the story: his brother doesn’t drink.
“Austin going to the bar is the most unrealistic part of this whole thing,” he pointed out.
Even if the rumors aren’t true, the fact that he is legitimately mentioned as a potential suitor for Taylor Swift speaks to how far he’s come in his career.
