Disappointing news for those who believed Sean St Ledger was really dating Taylor Swift

2015's answer to Posh & Becks truly was never a thing.

Tay & Ledge was a sham all along as the Colorado Rapids defender has revealed he was messing with us when he refused to rule out that he was seeing the 'Shake It Off' star earlier this year. The internet went crazy with the possibilities when the pair were pictured cosied up to one another in January and, appearing on RTE's Soccer Republic, he failed to deny that he was dating Swift, or Tay Tay as we know her. https://twitter.com/seanstledger12/status/550786228673839106?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw But St Ledger has finally put an end to all the rumours. Speaking to the Daily Telegraph, St Ledger said: "I was with my girlfriend and we knew a few people there and went to Taylor Swift's aftershow for her New Year's Eve bash. "We ended up talking and had a picture taken. We got chatting for five minutes and she was really down to earth - and that was it." https://twitter.com/BeardedGenius/status/586179290166915073?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw He added: "I did an interview with an Irish TV station and they were asking me about Taylor Swift and let's be realistic here.... It was a stupid question and I was answering questions sarcastically. "And they asked if she was coming to Orlando, and I said, 'Well I don't think she's coming down there but she might come to the game in New York.' "And they released that but not when I said she already had a boyfriend. The power of social media." Sad times!
