Popular Baseball Player Ha Seong Kim has been caught in dating rumors with beloved American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. But are the duo actually dating? Let’s debunk the rumor.

Are Ha Seong Kim and Taylor Swift dating?

Is San Diego Padres' star Ha Seong Kim dating Taylor Swift? On September 15, a tweet from San Diego-based sports writer Al Scott suggested that Ha Seong Kim and international pop star Taylor Swift were "quietly hanging out." The tweet quickly gained attention, sparking discussions among fans. This rumor even made waves in Korea, leaving many people puzzled. It appears that the sports writer was playfully referencing a previous dating rumor involving Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs' tight end, Travis Kelce, who was also said to be "quietly hanging out" before. Since then, various Twitter users have humorously claimed that Taylor Swift has been spending time with them as well. It seems like this "Love Story" is nothing more than an amusing internet joke. Taylor Swift was recently spotted at the 2023 MTV VMAs where her reaction towards Stray Kids' debut performance on the VMAs stage with their song S-Class went viral.
