To explain how all this came about, you should know that currently there is a completely unsubstantiated rumor circulating around Weibo that "America's number one singer" is dating a middle-aged Chinese tech tycoon. While Chinese netizens have decided that Swft must be that singer, they have not yet figured out who the lucky tycoon could be.

After the livestream, Zhang's comments went viral on Chinese social media with Weibo users playfully accusing him of playing hard to get. Though most have come to the reasonable conclusion that Zhang probably isn't Taytay's type either.

But meanwhile the search continues for Swift's new beau. Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun has been ruled out by web users because of his poor English skills. But what about Jack Ma?

That's fewer than 0.001% of the population. Probably not enough to re-open her mainland stores.
