Dakota Johnson and Machine Gun Kelly were photographed together Friday night in New York City, stepping out of a black SUV and walking into Taylor Swift’s Tribeca apartment. The two are both 36, and reports say they first met at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s July wedding. Neither one has said a word about the outing, and their representatives haven’t responded to requests for comment.
The timing has plenty of people talking. Johnson split from singer Role Model just weeks ago after dating since December 2025. MGK, meanwhile, has a long on-and-off history with actress Megan Fox and shares a daughter, Saga, born in March 2025. Swift herself wasn’t at the apartment that night. She’s in Kansas City as Travis Kelce prepares for his first home game of the season Monday night.
So what does it all mean? It could be two friends spending an evening together, or it could be the start of something new. Either way, the internet is already picking sides. What do you think, are these two just friends or is this the beginning of a new celebrity couple?
