The start of the rumors could be traced back to Alex performing Kiss Me Again on stage and Taylor joining in for a cozy performance. This led to fans of their band calling the new couple Taylex. They were also seen flirting on the Twitter and were often spotted holding hands during the tour. In fact, the AP Magazine referred to Taylor as his girlfriend.
