Selena Gomez, Drew Taggart Relationship a Publicity Stunt? Stars Received Mixed Reactions Amid Dating Rumors

Selena Gomez and Drew Taggart have been making headlines over the past week as they were rumored to be dating. The former Disney star has since broken her silence and clarified her true relationship status, but fans weren't convinced after she was spotted doing a shocking thing with the DJ.

According to Billboard, the "Only Murders in the Building" actress was photographed holding hands with the 1/2 of the Chainsmokers over the weekend even though she already shut down rumors about their real score.

People Magazine reported that both musicians, who wore casual outfits, were with a group of friends at The Gutter in New York City.

After the photos quickly went viral, many fans expressed their dismay about the alleged couple's relationship, with one user writing, "She said I'm single , I'm shocked."

"BR definitely there's no way she like that dude," another user wrote.

However, not all fans believe that their relationship is genuine as some of them noted that it could be a publicity stunt that is meant to promote Selena Gomez's yet-to-be-announced album.

"I love selena but the album is coming and the PR is started !. ...its just promos" one wrote.

Another one suggested that the outing was meant to shade the media, "I love that Selena is teasing media, we all know they're just friends she's just playing with the media coz they're so obsessed with her life."
