Selena Gomez seemingly shot down speculation that she is dating Drew Taggart of The Chainsmokers.
On Thursday, the pop star shared – and then deleted – a black-and-white photo in an Instagram Story with the headline “I like being alone too much” and included the hashtag “#iamsingle” at the bottom.
Gomez was likely responding to rumours sparked by a set of photos published Tuesday that show her and Taggart out bowling on Sunday at The Gutter in New York City.
The New York Post's Page Six reported that Gomez, 30, and Taggart, 33, were on a “flirty date” and cited an eyewitness as saying “the couple was ‘making out’ like teenagers while enjoying some alone time.”

US Weekly jumped on the story and quoted an unnamed “insider” as saying Gomez and Taggart “aren’t trying to hide their romance by sneaking around at members-only clubs” and that Gomez is “so affectionate” with Taggart and can “hardly keep her hands off of him.”
None of the photos posted by Page Six showed any public displays of affection and People reported that Gomez and Taggart were, in fact, out with a group of people.
Last week, Taggart and his Chainsmokers partner Alex Pall made headlines after opening up on a podcast about having had threesomes.
