Taylor Swift and Zac Efron have enjoyed a flirty dinner date. The Safe and Sound hitmaker and the New Year’s Eve star, who have been friends for years, were spotted sharing a romantic corner table at Los Angeles restaurant place earlier this month.
A source told US Weekly the pair, who arrived together in Zac’s Audi, “were deep in conversation and very giggly”.
However, friends of Zac, 24, and 22-year-old Taylor claimed the Lorax co-stars were just enjoying a friendly night-out. One pal said, “They were in L.A. doing press stuff together, and after they were done, they decided to grab dinner.”
Another friend added, “They have been friends a long time. Taylor thinks Zac’s cute... (but) they are on totally different wavelengths.”
Zac previously dated his High School Musical co-star Vanessa Hudgens while Taylor has endured a string of heartbreaks, most recently when she was dumped by Jake Gyllenhaal in late 2010. Speaking about her forthcoming album, Taylor alluded to their short-lived relationship. She said, “There’s just been this earth-shattering, not recent, but absolute crash-and-burn heartbreak and that will turn out to be what the next album is about. The only way that I can feel better about myself is writing songs about it to get some sort of clarity.”
