The rumor mills are churning about a romance between Taylor Swift and One Direction’s Harry Styles. It all started when the two were spotted together backstage during rehearsals for Swift’s performance on The X Factor last month.

Now, the two were spotted taking a romantic stroll in NYC’s Central Park and checking out seals. They even took time to play with a friend’s baby. If all that is not fueling the celebrity gossip wheel, I’m not sure what is.

Swift performed Saturday night in Los Angeles at KIIS-FM’s Jingle Ball., then apparently flew cross country to hang out with Styles a day later.
