Well Taylor Swift's perilous and never ending quest to find love has taken an interesting and possibly dangerous new turn. 

She's now apparently receiving death threats from fans of a boy band. Go figure. 

Earlier this year, Taylor was momentarily paired up with One Direction boy bander Harry Styles in the media. According to reports, the pair had a date back in March. She was interested but he wasn't and that was that . Anyway, after news broke that Taylor and Conor Kennedy had called it quits, the Taylor and Harry rumor started up once again, but this time with more oomph. 

Last week Taylor performed on X Factor and according to reports, Harry was there to check out Taylor's rehearsal. Then X Factor host Mario Lopez, who is sort of like the Hispanic version of Ryan Seacrest, told listeners on his radio show (yes, he's a T.V. host and a radio show host) that he saw Taylor and Harry holding hands.

Shocking, I know.

"Taylor Swift was the special guest performer, and [here's] a little inside scoop for you," Lopez told his listeners. "During rehearsals, Harry from One Direction came and slapped me on the back, and said, 'Hey, Mario, how ya doing?' And I said, 'What are you doing here?' And he sort of [pointed] toward Taylor."

The "Red" singer and the British boy-bander "walked off hand in hand," Lopez added, announcing, "So Taylor Swift and Harry from One Direction -- you heard it here first. [They're] officially hanging out, I can say that much."

Well that bit of info was enough to send One Direction fans into a rabid tizzy and since Mario's outing of the pair's probable non-relationship, fans of the British lad have apparently taken to Twitter to send death threats to Taylor. 

Okay, there's actually only two tweets quoted by British tabloid The Sun, one that said "I’ll murder Taylor Swift. She will not date my Harry" and another that said "If u dating my harry, I kill u" so chances are Taylor wont be needing to up her security detail anytime soon, but she may still want to watch her back a bit just in case a One Direct super fan does decide to go rogue.
