Sometimes, this was on behalf of theepisodic guest, but sometimes Ellen herself took matters too far.
Such is the case with two celebrities who she seemed convinced were dating: Taylor Swift and Zac Efron.
They’re around the same age and both massively successful they even had similar audiences.

When asked if they’d dated or currently were dating both denied it.
“We are not a couple,” Swift said, before adding, “He’s awesome.
We are not a couple, though” (viaAccess Online).

The two, at the time, were promoting their animated feature film “The Lorax.”
Because it was an animated film, Swift and Efron didn’t work together in person.
On this, Swift continued, “You hear people get together when they’re shooting movies, co-stars.
In 2013, Swift appeared on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” again.
This time, Ellen asked her which song of hers was written about Efron (via CheatSheet).
Again, Swift denied any history with the actor.
Now, Swift is happily dating Joe Alwyn, andEfron is single.
