Taylor Swift may have found herself a new lover boy to sing about in actor Matthew Gray Gubler. The pair sparked speculation of a possible relationship this weekend when they both posted pictures of very similar 4th of July celebrations on their respective social media accounts.

Swift, who admittedly loves Independence Day, hosted a huge bash at her Rhode Island mansion, and posted a series of photos from the celebration on her official blog. In the blog she makes no mention of Gubler, however, fans became suspicious after Gubler, who stars on Criminal Minds, posted a photo of himself on Twitter, showing off some patriotic face paint, almost identical to the face paint Swift rocks in her photos.

“I’ll use any holiday as an excuse for face paint,” the country singer wrote on her blog.

Coincidence? Perhaps – there are no photos featuring the two of them together. However, the similarities didn’t stop there. Gubler and Swift also posted very similar pictures of themselves playing with sparklers. Adding fuel to the fire, Gubler reportedly deleted the photos from his official Twitter and WhoSay accounts after the gossip began. His efforts to do some romantic damage control were futile, as he had already tweeted about going to New England to celebrate the national holiday earlier in the week.

“next stop New England!” Grubler tweeted on July 3..

No official statements have been issued confirming or denying the relationship, but a source tells Gossip Cop that Swift and Gubler are “just friends.” No matter what the truth is, fans will most likely get a chance to find out whenever Taylor Swift decides to release more of her famous tell-all music.
