So far, Swift, 25, has remained mum on the subject, while her publicist has not yet responded to requests for comment.

The two were photographed together in Nashville a few days ago, and then again at a Kenny Chesney concert on Thursday.

But who is he? Here are five things to know about the “Shake It Off” singer’s potential new beau:

1. He’s Scottish

He discovered his talent for production when he was a teenager and once he had enough money, he moved to London to launch his music career. He told Forbes in 2013 that he found success after networking with his manager on MySpace.

2. He’s Collaborated With a Litany of Musicians
