Taylor Swift, One Direction Harry Stiles Spark Romance Rumors

It seems that love might be in the air for Taylor Swift and One Direction singer Harry Styles. The rumor mill is spinning out of control that the country/pop superstar and the boy bander are crushing on each other.

Rumor has it that Justin Bieber, Swift's onetime Punker, knows a big-time star who has a crush on Styles, but the Biebs swears he's been "sworn to secrecy" and can't reveal who it is.But according to Daily Mail sources, after the twosome met at the Kids' Choice Awards last month, Swift told her pal Bieber that she kind of has a crush on Styles.

"Taylor is a huge One Direction fan and was excitedly bopping along to the boys when they performed onstage. Then she was chatting to Justin and told him how hot she found Harry," the source said. "Taylor went backstage and was hanging around by the group's dressing room and said a quick 'hello' to the guys."

The source continued that "she started dramatically fanning herself afterwards making out like she was overwhelmed which got everyone laughing. She really likes Harry but made Justin promise not to go on the record about it."

Judging by the interview MTV News did with 1D last week, the way the guys teased the mop-topped Styles about Swift, we're guessing somethingis afoot. Both parties have yet to comment on the speculation.

Since his rise to fame, Styles has been linked to a few ladies, including New York-based photographer Sarah-Louise Colivet, 24, and 19-year-old singer Lily Halpern. For those wondering if Swift, 22, might be a few years too old for the 18-year-old Styles, his last girlfriend, British TV presenter Caroline Flack, was 32.

Harry isn't the only 1D-er being linked to American singers. Fans have been wondering if Niall Horan and Demi Lovato might become a couple after she revealed she thinks he's "so adorable." His response, per the Daily Mail, "I'd like to see her all right and she's a similar age. She seems to be a nice girl. It'd be good." He also tweeted at her after her MTV documentary, "Stay Strong," aired, calling it an "amazing story."

One Direction: 5 Things You Need to Know

Boy band mania is back!

British-Irish quintet One Direction first made a splash when they came in third on the U.K.'s X Factor in 2010, and now the group is gaining traction Stateside, with the guys acting as the musical guests on this weekend's Sofia Vergara-hosted Saturday Night Live.

Ahead of the group's SNL performance, Us Weekly uncovers five things you must know about the hot new group, comprised of Niall Horan, 18, Zayn Malik, 19, Liam Payne, 18, Harry Styles, 18, and Louis Tomlinson, 20.

1. Signed to Columbia Records, the quintet is experiencing success similar to that of Beatlemania back in the day. Seeing their first album, Up All Night, debut at No. 1 on theBillboard 200 charts, One Direction is the first U.K. band in history to earn that honor. "People think that a boy band is air-grabs and being dressed in all one color. We're boys in a band. We're trying to do something different from what people would think is the typical kind of boy band," 1D's Horan has said. "We're trying to do different kinds of music and we're just trying to be ourselves, not squeaky clean."

2. Sorry, ladies! Band member Tomlinson is officially off the market, having dated Manchester University politics and sociology major Eleanor Calder since 2011. "She is a couple of years older than Louis, but the lads in the band think she's the female version of Louis," an insider told the U.K. Sun newspaper of model Calder. "She is gobby, loud and confident but pretty laid-back at the same time."

3. They came together by chance. All auditioning for The X Factor as solo artists, the members were put together into a group at the suggestion of guest X Factor judge Nicole Scherzinger. Following their X Factor stint, the group signed with Simon Cowell's Syco Records and toured as part of the X Factor Live Tour in the U.K. They'll tour the U.S. -- making a stop at New York City's famed Madison Square Garden -- starting this spring.

4. Band member Payne has had his fair share of heath scares before hitting it big. As a kid, he had a kidney removed. "I don't drink at all because I have one kidney," he told Metro last fall. "I have just turned 18 but I don't touch alcohol at all. It's just a choice to be on the safe side."

5. Though they're just now taking hold in the U.S., Malik has long admired his North American entertainment industry peers. In fact, he's a big fan of Justin Timberlake! "My man crush...probably... Justin Timberlake," the singer has said. "He's a cool guy."
