Are Dakota Johnson and Machine Gun Kelly dating?
If so, it appears that Taylor Swift may have played a major role in their hookup.
In more ways than one.
Is this just a dalliance? Is this the soft launch of a whirlwind romance? Or is this something else?
Are Dakota Johnson and Machine Gun Kelly dating?
September 11 isn’t necessarily a quintessential date night, but sometimes it’s Friday night and things just happen.
On Friday evening, Dakota Johnson and Machine Gun Kelly were spotted exiting a black SUV in New York.
From there, TMZ reports, the two appeared to walk into a Tribeca apartment belonging to none other than Taylor Swift.
At present, Swift is not in town.
With that in mind, it appears that the two — presumably with permission — may have used the singer’s empty apartment for a rendezvous.

It is reported that Johnson and MGK also met because of Taylor Swift.
On July 3, just a little over two months earlier, the singer and Travis Kelce had the wedding of the year at Madison Square Garden.
Well, at MSG, MGK and Johnson allegedly met for the first time attending those nuptials.
There are many ways to introduce a prospective new couple. Weddings are a surprisingly common way for people to renew old friendships, hook up, or meet the love of their life.
As far as we can tell, no one is currently suggesting that Swift attempted to play matchmaker on purpose. Sometimes, these things just happen.

Is this the right time for this (alleged) relationship?
Aside from their alleged new relationship, Dakota Johnson and Machine Gun Kelly are both single.
In late 2024, MGK and Megan Fox broke up, even though the latter was newly pregnant with their child.
Since that split, Kelly has reportedly had hookups but no viral stories about his dalliances have spent weeks dominating headlines.
Meanwhile, Johnson and singer Role Model reportedly split mere weeks ago.
Now, she is allegedly onto her next big thing.
Dakota Johnson is famously hot. We don’t think that anyone would dispute that.
The same is true of Machine Gun Kelly, even if every time that he speaks in an interview, you can feel his hotness dropping in real time.
(Desirability is relative! Some men are hotter when they speak and others just remind you how annoying they are.)
If these two are a new high profile power couple, they’re going to have a lot of invested fans and no shortage of threesome fantasies.
And if this is something else, from a hookup to a simple misunderstanding, they’re still going to be getting a lot of questions.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is ready to welcome one very controversial Massachusetts resident to the Sunshine State.
DeSantis has offered “asylum” to the lone holdout juror whose refusal to acquit Lindsay Clancy resulted in a mistrial after a report revealed allegations about the juror’s own legal history.
As you’ve likely heaed by now, the highly publicized Clancy trial ended earlier this month when jurors deadlocked 11-1 after more than six days of deliberations.
The majority ultimately concluded that Clancy, who admitted killing her three young children, was not criminally responsible because of severe mental illness.
One juror refused to agree.
The unidentified man reportedly maintained that he could not find Clancy not guilty by reason of insanity, despite allegedly acknowledging that he had reasonable doubt about her criminal responsibility.
Several of his fellow jurors subsequently criticized his conduct during deliberations.
Then came an NBC10 Boston report about the holdout juror himself.
According to the station, the man was charged in 2021 with allegedly assaulting his then-wife. That charge was later dismissed after she declined to testify. The report also stated that the juror’s teenage nephew obtained a restraining order against him last year, alleging that the man had assaulted him.
The juror was reportedly still subject to that order while serving on the Clancy jury.
NBC10 also reported that the man was facing an eviction case over unpaid rent, with his landlord having obtained a judgment of more than $12,000.
Naturally, this raised questions about how exactly he made it through the jury-selection process for one of the most closely watched trials in Massachusetts.
But DeSantis wasn’t interested in piling on.
Instead, he came to the juror’s defense — and offered him a new home.
“A man objected to allowing a woman to kill her three young kids and get away with it, so NBC is trying to smear that juror, whose identity should be protected,” DeSantis wrote on X.
“Another low for legacy media,” he added. “If the juror is being harassed, Florida will provide asylum — I’m sure he’d be welcomed and appreciated.”
It’s an unusual intervention from a governor who has absolutely nothing to do with a Massachusetts murder trial.
But the Clancy case has become increasingly political and contentious following the mistrial.
Prosecutors have not yet announced whether they will retry Clancy. A hearing is scheduled for September 29, when her defense is also expected to pursue a legal route that could potentially result in an acquittal.
For now, it seems that the most talked-about juror in America is welcome to adopt the Sunshine State as his new home, if he so chooses.
