Okay, so here’s the tea: Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun just made things Instagram official. Well… Sort of. The Euphoria star and the music mogul were caught locking lips in Central Park, and honestly? The internet is losing its mind. But it’s not just about the romance or their 17-year age gap.
The real plot twist? Braun is basically Taylor Swift’s archenemy, thanks to their epic music rights battle. Talk about complicated! The video shows them cozied up on a rock overlooking a pond, completely unbothered by the fact that a bodyguard was trailing them. This is the first time we’ve seen them kiss publicly, and people have thoughts, lots of them.
Euphoria Star Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun: Complete Relationship Timeline
Let’s rewind to where it all started. Sweeney, 27, and Braun, 44, met at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s ridiculously lavish wedding in Venice back in June 2025. Apparently, Sweeney was intrigued by Braun’s charm from the get-go. By September, sources confirmed to PEOPLE they were casually dating. Nothing too serious since Sydney had just ended her engagement to Jonathan Davino.
But here’s where things get interesting. What started as “just hanging out” turned into something much deeper. They’ve been spotted everywhere: Grabbing dinner at Jon and Vinny’s in Brentwood, hitting up Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights (with Sweeney’s parents, no less!), and catching shows at NYC’s Comedy Cellar.

Why Taylor Swift Fans Are Side-Eyeing This Romance
Now, let’s address the elephant in the room: Scooter Braun and Taylor Swift’s legendary feud. Back in 2019, Braun’s company bought Big Machine Label Group for around $300 million, which included the masters to Swift’s first six albums. Swift was obviously not happy, calling it her “worst case scenario” (via Rolling Stones) and accusing Braun of bullying.
The whole situation sparked a massive debate about artists’ rights. Swift’s solution? Re-record everything as “Taylor’s Version,” and honestly, she crushed it. The feud even got its own documentary in 2024. Swift finally got her masters back in May 2025, but the drama? Still fresh in everyone’s minds.
