Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal were spotted grabbing breakfast in Nashville on Saturday afternoon at Fido’s cafe and coffeehouse near Vanderbilt University. Neither of the superstars have confirmed dating each other, however the two aren’t hiding their budding romance:

“They were smiling and laughing. They were talking a lot and enjoying each other’s company,” fellow diner Elaina Mishu tells PEOPLE. “They didn’t look like [just] friends.”

Customer Emma Rice, who snapped a photo of the pair, calls the duo “very cute” and says, “They seemed close.”

October ice cream dates, November lattes in Brooklyn and now Nashville pancakes and eggs. Where will December take their romantic culinary dates?

Taylor Swift is making history this month. The 20 year-old music superstar broke three Billboard records last week by having 11 of her songs on the chart at once, the most songs written by one artist charting in the same week and all those songs are off one album.

On Tuesday November 9th, Swift, who has had some intense ups and downs this week, holds yet another title: BMI’s Country Songwriter of the Year - the youngest person ever awarded that honor.

Swift became the youngest recipient of the prize, telling the crowd, “It’s been a really emotional week for me.” And while this week has been filled with highs, it has also had its share of lows as she attended the funeral of a friend on Monday. She added, “He was 21, and I used to play my songs for him first.”

Congratulations on the record-winning weeks, Taylor. It’s unfortunate it was at the same time she was dealing with losing someone so close to her.

Tonight she will perform at the CMA’s (Country Music Awards) and perhaps pick up another trophy as she is nominated for Female Vocalist of the Year. It is rumored she will sing “Back To December,” the emotionaly song reportedly written about Taylor Lautner.

The Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville, Tennessee will celebrate it’s 85th birthday in October and Taylor Swift is among the country music stars set to perform at the legendary music hall. Swift will join Trace Adkins, Dolly Parton and Crystal Gayle for the two day (October 8th and 9th) event. Swift is sure to be performing new songs from Speak Now, her album that will be released on October 25th. Go here if you want tickets.

The Opry is set to be re-opened on September 28th after the flooding from the Cumberland River in May of 2010 left the building damaged and unsafe.

Justin Bieber is proving what a generous heart he has. The Canadian teen pop star is donating to the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee to help residents affected by the flooding that hit the Volunteer State earlier this year.

“I’m really glad to be here and to help out something that’s really important to me,” the Tennessean quoted the Canadian pop sensation as saying. “Music has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and you know Nashville, there’s so much music history here.”

Bieber raised over $32,000 from his sold out show at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville and the concert promoter has promised to match the donation. Nice!
