Selena has been spotted out with Orlando several times but a new clue makes us think that perhaps she’s actually spending time with him to make sure he’s good dating material for her bestie? Read on for all the details!

Could Taylor Swift, 24, and Orlando Bloom, 37, be a couple in the near future? Taylor’s good pal, Ed Sheeran, 23, has decided that Orlando would be the perfect Hollywood hottie to date the single star and perhaps that’s why Selena Gomez, 21, is in the mix?

Is Selena Gomez Setting Orlando Bloom Up With Taylor Swift?

Ed, who has toured with Taylor, told Us Weekly that he thinks it would be awesome if Taylor dated Miranda Kerr‘s ex-husband.

This has got our wheels spinning! Could this be why Selena has been out with Orlando, and most recently, at Chelsea Handler‘s standup comedy show on April 27? Maybe she’s putting in a good word for her pal and also feeling out Orlando for her best friend? They’d make such a great couple!

Orlando: How He’s Supporting Selena

We told you that Orlando is also helping Selena through her break up with Justin Bieber with the help of Buddhism.

“Orlando has been really supportive of Selena and has even invited her to chant with him at a Buddhist meeting,” our source tells us. “He says chanting helps people turn poison into medicine and it doesn’t matter what religion you practice, anyone can benefit from chanting.”

“He chants ‘Nam Myoho Renge Kyo’ and explained to Selena how Nichiren Buddhism has been so inspirational in his life, and how it helped him deal with his divorce from Miranda [Kerr],” the insider also said.  “He’s a good friend for someone like Selena.”

HollywoodLifers, do you think Taylor should date Orlando?
