Throughout this week, I’ve been slightly aware of the UK tabloid reports that Taylor Swift has been checking out some real estate in London. The tabloids claimed that she was looking for a place close to Harry Styles’ place, because I guess Harry and Tay-Tay are not “done” yet? But I do think they’re done. Taylor might not believe it, but I think Harry has been over it since January of this year. He’s moved on. And so that left Taylor, in my mind, as a real estate stalker who was still obsessed with her ex. Except that maybe I should give her more credit. According to People Mag, Tay-Tay has found her Romeo (LITERALLY) with yet another young-looking British boy, 21-year-old Douglas Booth. Booth recently played Romeo in the latest film version of Romeo and Juliet:
Does Taylor Swift have a new British beau? Ten months after splitting from One Direction’s Harry Styles, the “I Knew You Were Trouble” singer has been spotted with another U.K. heartthrob – Romeo and Juliet’s Douglas Booth.
“They hired the back room and were in there alone,” a source tells PEOPLE of the duo’s cozy night at The Holly Bush in London on Friday. “They looked very happy [and] were just smiling and laughing just like any other customers.”
The duo possibly met through Swift’s close friend Hailee Steinfeld, who starred opposite Booth, 21, in the latest installment of Shakespeare’s classic love story about star-crossed lovers.
Swift, 23, showed up at the Los Angeles premiere’s after party in September, where she was seen getting flirty with Booth. The pair hung out with a group of friends (including Steinfeld), chatting and taking a series of fun photos in the photo booth.
No word yet on if the two are officially dating or are simply friends (reps for Swift and Booth did not respond to a request for comment), but sounds like a bit of quality time could go a long way with Booth.
“I’ve met some of the most beautiful women in the world, but they’re not the most attractive women that I’ve met,” he told PEOPLE in September. “Beauty comes from inside … I think it takes a little bit of getting to know someone to fall in love.”
I’m including some photos of Booth below. He’s cute. I wouldn’t call him sexy or bangable, but he has that particular look that I know Taylor likes. He’s got good hair and a sweet face and he looks like he could totally be a member of One Direction. Do you hear that, Harry Styles? Tay-Tay found another British boy, a better British boy! Which reminds me – remember when Taylor and Eddie Redmayne dated for just a moment a few years ago? She’s been on a British boy jag for a while. I ain’t mad at her. I’ve had a thing for British boys for decades now. Welcome to the Anglophile Files, girl.
PS… Is anyone else creeped out by actors named “Booth”? I wonder if he’s distantly related to John Wilkes.

Now we know the theme of her next album.
At least he’s not a teenager.
Perfect….has lots of rhyming words: tooth, truth, uncouth. Can’t wait to hear the break-up song.
He must be trying to cover up his baby face with all that hair except he ended up looking like a werewolf
I love the 1st photo, she looks great. Is that hemline meant to look like that? Like some parts came undone? I love me some Brits too so go swifty!!
The neck beard is a little gross
My thoughts exactly! Gak.
She’s letting her game slip. The guy is an actual adult.
He looks like jack Whitehall…
He was so bad in the new adaptation of Great Expectations.
He is going to be a very handsome 30 something guy. Good Choice.
Yuck with the neck beard. Please tidy that up.
He is the idiot who made the comment of Anna Witour throwing a dinner in honour of Benedict…so yea my first impression of him is not great.
Anyways if he that dumb as he seemed in that interview then yup match made in heaven lol
Also I think he looks like Jack Whitehall
lol just googled for it. yeah he is full of himself and thinks he will be a big star.
two quotes:
“But any kind of fame will come at a price, and he knows it. “The other day I stopped in Piccadilly and sat on the Eros statue, just taking in London and the sights and sounds, and thought, ‘One day soon this is going to be impossible.’”
“He’s having a tough time explaining it all to his friends who are still at university. “They’ll say: ‘Mate! Last night we went out in Leeds and got so messed up!” And I’m like, ‘Yeah… last night I was in New York with Hilary Clinton.”
If he said something bad about that Cumberbatch twit then I might become a fan of him LOL.
“Beauty comes from inside … I think it takes a little bit of getting to know someone to fall in love.”
yawn. couldnt sound more rehearsed. its like those guys who say “i like a strong woman” but they never can explain what it means. they just know that they should say something like that.
by now most women have realized that the guys in the magazines are just as vapid as the playboy bunnies so guys please dont embarrass yourself and dont try to sound deep or intellectual.
Except a lot of guys actually are like that. British guys seems to be unafraid to go ahead and say it. And that’s why I married my British husband.
He was so beautiful in R&J that poor Juliet never stood a chance, which was good as she was awful in it. The facial hair here just looks messy. However, could think of worse ways to spend some time, so go Taylor!
Doesn’t he have a girlfriend? I thought I read somewhere he did
So I guess her next album will be called “Assassin”.
OMG!
Inspired in part by Stephen Sondheim
God is there not another neighbourhood in London? I guess it’s only NW3 and W11. He looked better as Pip in Great Expectations and he was really good, no facial hair. Cute though…
What are you talking about Kaiser, she never dated Redmayne. While he was promoting Les Mis he flat out said that he had only talked to her for about 5 minutes in his life and their only interaction was when she was auditioning for a part in the movie.
Also, I doubt she’s buying property to be near Styles, the home she looked at was more than 15 minutes away from his house and was much closer to the Paltrow/Martin residence. The only reason they’re as close as they are is because there are very few neighbourhoods in London where you can have privacy, so it makes sense that most stars would congregate into one area. Given that she seems to be spending a lot of time in Europe it would definitely make sense that she would want a home in Europe so she doesn’t have to stay in hotels all the time.
London has plenty of neighbourhoods where there is privacy. Celebrities can easily live in London without being harassed; I used to live on the same road as Kristen Dunst and Heath Ledger, never found out till I searched up my street. So I don’t think she is moving there for privacy, personally I think she’s moving there because the area (Camden) is close to central London and it would be a good to invest in real estate. Thats just my thought but it could very well be that she wants to live near other celebs.
poor boy
Yuck. Shave, young man, you look like the pubemonster.
He was super hot in that awful miley cyrus movie LOL
Those aren’t the best pics of him, DB has a seriously beautiful face. He’s prettier than most female actresses lol. He’s most definitely prettier than Taylor lol.
Well I guess his career could do with a push in the US, so hooking up with her should do the trick, but I hope he can handle it when she makes her next break up record about him *eye roll*.
So far they aren’t romantic. Taylor is working on a script for a movie based on a book by a famous author and she’s also checking out this young fellow among others as possible co-leads for parts. This is according to a friend who’s behind the scenes.
She’s been hinting at this upcoming project for about a year via twitter posts.
As for Harry, on same authority she’s been over that since before the public split. Her london move has everything to do with career and nothing to do with a specific guy. She is an extremely career-driven person.
Is it “This Side of Paradise”?
@ghost
Taylor, is that you?
I don’t find him *hot* but his skin is so milky perfect.
The next inspiration for her future “oh woe is me! I love to love but no one loves me and I’m gonna not so subtly shade this particular actor/singer” hit.
This girl bugs me. I downright haven’t liked her since she trashed Tina Fey and Amy Poehler for a stupid little joke at the GG. Those two are REAL icons for women, take note little girl.
At this point the only thing that would make these Taylor Swfit “romances” interesting would be to find out that she’s secretly a man.
:/
