Taylor Swift is keeping her relationship with Glee star Cory Monteith a secret from her mum, according to a report.

The country star was first linked to the young actor when they were spotted together at The Grammys.

And apparently the romance has now got serious, though Swift is keen to keep it from her parents.

A source told the National Enquirer: “Taylor is actually pretending not to be interested in Cory so her mother doesn't scare him off!

“Taylor's figured out she better not have any serious mother-daughter conversations about her love life or the relationship will be doomed from the get-go. Taylor really likes Cory, and she's telling friends she sees 'real romantic possibilities' with him.”

Cory will have to keep Taylor’s ex away though. Asked recently by Elle Magazine who she thought was hot Swift said: “Um, well ... Taylor Lautner.”
