Blogs are buzzing today with InStyle magazine’s Taylor Swift cover story. In it, she seems to derail rumors of romance with “Twilight” teen Taylor Lautner. The two star together in the upcoming “Valentine’s Day” and have been seen together frequently in recent weeks.

The sites have seized on Swift’s comment, “I’ve never thought it was a curse to be single, and at this point in my life, I’m in the mind-set where I choose to be single… [I wouldn't have time for certain things] if I had a boyfriend right now!”

That puts the kibosh on Taylor Squared talk, right?

Not exactly.

Gossip Cop spoke with Swift’s representative, who confirmed that InStyle conducted the interview with her client a few days after the Kanye West incident, meaning it was mid-September. So keep in mind Swift’s comment about not having a boyfriend “right now” actually refers to two months ago.

A lot has happened in these past two months including Lautner getting close with Swift after two of her concerts, attending a hockey game with her, and dining together. Then, of course, there was Swift’s appearance on Saturday Night Live in which she sang about a certain werewolf from “Twilight” and blew a kiss to her rumored beau.

When Gossip Cop asked Swift’s rep whether her client’s single status had changed since the interview two months ago, the rep responded, “I don’t comment about my client’s personal life.”

    Can’t the media just leave these two precious people alone!!?

    The last line is so clearly a lie since her reps confirmed to you (in October) the two Taylor’s are just friends. Michael, you don’t find it all interesting that in the month since the Chicago concerts you nor People have been able to get Taylor Swift reps to comment???

    Anyways, this is so clearly a publicity stunt. I really would have thought you’d catch on to that Michael…

    By the way, can you explain the rating on this article?

    Lara,
    Why would either need the publicity? TS just sold out all her upcoming concerts in mere minutes and TL is in Twilight, which doesn’t exactly need publicity. I think they are adorable!
