In March 2010, Taylor Swift and Cory Monteith were seen hugging at a bowling alley in Los Angeles, per the Daily Mail. While she showed up with Selena Gomez, Swift talked to the “Glee” star for the majority of the evening. The pair kept a low profile for the most part, as they arrived and left separately. At the time, it was widely believed that they were trying to hide their romance from Swift’s mom Andrea, who wanted her daughter to prioritize her music. An insider said, “Andrea, who has a firm grip on her daughter’s career and personal life, thinks Taylor has worked far too hard to let everything go to the wall for the sake of a boy.” Two months before their bowling alley appearance, Swift and Monteith posed together at the Grammys.

As rumors about Swift and Monteith’s romance circulated, the actor kept his lips sealed. When asked about Swift in a prior interview, Monteith replied, “Ah, I’m not gonna answer that.” In an appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” Ellen DeGeneres asked Monteith if he was dating Swift. Monteith chuckled, clarifying, “No, we’re just friends.” When the Grammys photo of them popped up, DeGeneres remarked that they seemed like more than friends. The talk show host continued to tease him, but he wouldn’t budge. While Monteith denied that they were dating, he did call Swift lovely.
