Sean St Ledger refused to deny he’s seeing Taylor Swift and the internet went nuts

First, some background…

Sean St Ledger went on Soccer Republic on Tuesday night and was the subject of an Xpose level questioning by Tony O’Donoghue about rumours that he is seeing singer Taylor Swift.

These rumours began back in December when St Ledger tweeted a fairly cosy looking picture of him and Swift.

St Ledgers played it cool under O’Donoghue’s line of questioning.

A little too cool, you might say, giving the impression that he has something that he is not quite letting on.

Cue: Internet meltdown.

First the jokes began

So we can all expect a football-related album from Taylor Swift after she breaks up with Sean St Ledger

And then the wry response to the Wikipedia page update

Sean St. Ledger has made as many appearances for Taylor Swift Bae FC as he did for Stevenage and Ipswich pic.twitter.com/sXE4cUtP2q

And then there’s the people who (possibly) think it might be true even though deep down they know it makes no sense. No sense at all.

"Sean St Ledger has refused to shake off rumours that he's dating Taylor Swift"

What man in the world would want to shake off that rumour?

This Sean St Ledger stuff is making me nostalgic for Darren Byfield's 4 month spell at Sunderland when we all thought Jamelia would turn up

Sean St. Ledger snapping up Taylor Swift is the best thing I've heard in a while. Absolute hero.

And then there’s the people who seem to be taking it all a bit too seriously

Imagine not loving the MLS. Only place in the world where Sean St Ledger could be in the same team as Kaka, and get with Taylor Swift.
