Taylor Swift and Garrett Hedlund have been on a dinner date.
The country musician and Hollywood actor met up for a relaxed meal last week, dining in Nashville. The pair have been in contact for some time and decided sharing some food would be the perfect way to get to know each other better.
“It was their first time going out,” a source told Us Weekly. “They've been emailing for a while, and she hinted they should get together.”
The pair met up at 8pm, with Garrett, 26, returning to his hotel at 12.30am. Although he has starred in some of the biggest movies of the last few months, such as TRON: Legacy and Country Strong, Garrett apparently amazed Taylor by being so down to earth.
She found him fun and easy to talk to, but is not said to be in any hurry to settle down. Taylor, 21, has been single since splitting from Jake Gyllenhaal last year and wants to make sure her next romance lasts the distance.
“She has actually spent time getting to know Garrett,” the source added. “He's cute - and he's into country music! [She] likes that he's a normal guy.”
