Did Taylor Swift date Tim Tebow? Exploring dating rumors about the duo

Taylor Swift and Tim Tebow are a match made in Hollywood heaven? This was one of the buzzed-about speculations almost a decade ago. Back in 2012, the duo sparked dating rumors when they were spotted together at a pre-Oscar dinner at Toscanova Italian restaurant in Century City.

According to the New York Post, witnesses revealed that after the meal, Tebow walked Swift out. At the time, Tebow was 24, and Swift was 22. They were not just in the prime of their youth but also had the "All-American" image that could make them the perfect couple.

Their public personas left many to wonder if the All-American guy and the All-American girl were embarking on a romantic journey.

Fast forward to 2018, and the rumors resurfaced. During the Academy of Country Music Awards that year hosts Reba McEntire and Blake Shelton playfully bantered about the alleged date. McEntire asked Shelton,

“How about the rumor that Tim Tebow went on a date with Taylor Swift”.

Swift who won the ACM Awards winner (obviously), responded with a shrug and her signature bewildered look. The fans were literally left gasping about the nature of their relationship.

Despite the ambiguity, Celebuzz claimed that a source spotted Taylor and the Philadelphia Eagles star spending nearly an hour together on a recent dinner date in Los Angeles.

How much truth there is to all these dating rumors of Taylor Swift and Tim Tebow is still unknown.
