Sydney Sweeney’s already red-hot romance seems to be literally heating up.
Peering paparazzi snapped photos of the “Euphoria” star hanging out at her Florida Keys mansion with her new beau over the weekend, Page Six reports.
That would be Scooter Braun, known to many as Taylor Swift’s nemesis (more on that later).
Sweeney and Braun, who reportedly first connected at Jeff Bezos’ wedding to Lauren Sanchez in Venice in June, were pictured relaxing in the pool of the sweet manse that the actress bought last summer for $13.5 million.
We have to assume the couple is spending the holidays together in the Sunshine State because traveling this week, even in a private jet, likely won’t be fun.
So will these two go the distance in 2026? We are sure Swifties have opinions about that.
Recap: Back in 2019, Braun, who also managed Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande back in the day, purchased the masters of the pop megastar’s first six albums. He then flipped them for approximately $450 million, making him an extremely wealthy, not to mention reviled, individual. That’s because Swift later came out saying she had wanted to purchase the rights, but was not given the opportunity.
Sweeney apparently doesn’t have an issue with all that music industry drama, perhaps because she has issues of her own.
For starters, the 28-year-old beauty received massive backlash over the summer for appearing in an American Eagle ad, which touted the blond-haired, blue-eyed Washington State native as having “great jeans,” a play on the word “genes.”
Her career subsequently suffered, with the biopic “Christy,” about ‘90s welterweight boxer Christy Martin, tanking at the box office, reportedly due to the fallout.
Perhaps she thinks Braun can resurrect her image. RadarOnline, for one, reports that the 44-year-old divorced father of three is acting as Sweeney’s quasi manager.
“Scooter made her a lot of promises about what he can help her achieve with her career,” an insider told the gossip outlet. “And she’s extremely ambitious, so of course that got her attention.”
