Who's next for Taylor Swift? We've got the odds on seven contenders

Grammy Award-winning artist and feel-good superstar Taylor Swift is back on the market, ladies and gentlemen. According to People, Swift's beau of the last year Calvin Harris ended the couple's relationship over being "intimidated" by her success. He joins shaken-off former lovers Harry Styles, Taylor Lautner (remember Taylor!), that Kennedy kid and many, many more. 

Now that Tay Tay is single and presumably sniffing around for her next celebrity relationship (one that definitely won't be a part of a media contract), we thought we'd step in and play matchmaker and try to make—or at least—preidct a match. Who's the odds-on favorites to be the next Trouble walking into Swift's life? We think we might know... 

7. The other two Jonas Brothers 

T-Swift already dated Joe Jonas, the oldest of the three Jonas brothers. That relationship didn't seem too bad, though pairing two bubble-gum pop stars together might have thrown the devil-to-sweetheart ratio most relationships need to keep the spark going. It wouldn't be too much of a departure for Swift to jump back on the Jonas train with Kevin or Nick—though that might make for an awkward situation at Thanksgiving dinner (which the tabloids would eat up). A

Odds: 25-1

6. Alexander Skarsgård

In 2011, Swift got into a relationship with Jake Gyllenhaal during which time they were snapped canoodling around New York in photos that were so adorable it's hard to believe they weren't staged. Making steps towards another New York-based actor of Swedish descent might make sense for Tay as she's shaking off the heartbreak from Harris. The 39-year-old Skarsgård could be considered too old for Swift, but...Look at him. The walking eight-pack, set to play Tarzan in theaters this summer, puts that Team Jacob wolf cup ex to shame. "Me Tarzan, you Tay."

Odds: 20-1

5. Rihanna

Swift is 26, and (as far as we know) has never experimented with the other team. We all know that sexuality is fluid, and Rihanna would be a sensible jump to the other side for Swift. She's due for her phase. At Coachella this year, Taylor Instagrammed a video of Rihanna making a surprise appearance at Harris's DJ set, saying that she'll "NEVER forget this moment." Perhaps there are more memorable RiRi-TayTay moments to come. 

Odds: 15-1 

4. Daniel Radcliffe

Remember when Swift dated Eddie Jupiter-Ascending-never-happened Redmayne in 2012, just three years before he stole an Oscar from Michael Keaton? Well, it might be time for her to go back down the British route with the man who played the boy who lived. The two are almost exactly the same age, and her squad has even had the opportunity to vet Radcliffe's junk when he went full-frontal in a Broadway production of Equus in 2007. America's sweet heart and the boy wizard? Magic.

Odds: 10-1

3. Drake

Deep similarities could draw these two together—child stars now at the top of their respective genres, both with plenty of names in their phone to set their late-night hotlines blinging. The pair could both relate about how fame robbed them of their childhoods, and how no matter how many records they sell, there is still an emotionless, deep void inside of them that cannot be filled. Plus: we know Drake makes Taylor sweat (and sometimes sweeps her off her feet).

Odds: 8-1

2. Liam Hemsworth

Okay, recent reports have Liam Hemsworth back with Miley, but that can't last longer than a couple of months (right?). The Hemsworth brothers are perhaps the biggest catches in Hollywood, and, with Chris being married, Liam is the next best bet. He's starring in the Independence Day sequel this summer, which should give him some pretty intimate familiarity with alien-like creatures. We're not saying that Swift is an alien, but we're not saying that we're sure she's not one. And if the Miley-Liam deal lasts the distance, there's always Luke (Google him). 

Odds: 5-1

1. Herself

Swift has been all about empowering herself over the past couple of years. From her hit single "Shake It Off" to her speech at the Grammys that discredited Kanye West's accusation that he made her famous, she's made a seemingly endless stream of declarations of independence and self-awesomeness. She'll undoubtedly get back into a relationship at some point, but for now our safest bet is on leaving the blank space on the red carpet blank, and staying solo and strong. 

Odds: 3-2
