Then in the spring of 2009, Selena starting dating Taylor Lautner for a short time. This was when Twilight was huge (the first film came out in November of 2008) and basically every tween in the world was Team Jacob after New Moon came out in '09.

Then flash forward to March of 2011, where Selena made her first official appearance with her new boyfriend, Justin Bieber. Biebs' movie Never Say Never got released just one month prior and hit it big at the box office, and this was also when Biebs was becoming a really, really big deal. Of course, as we all know, this relationship ended in mid 2012 around the time Biebs was getting into trouble and garnering negative attention (paternity suit, anyone?), so Selena was all like, "Ok, time to move on."

Sure, Austin isn't quite at the level of fame of any of the guys above just yet, but he just released a new single with Pitbull which is number 2 on iTunes, he walked the Grammys red carpet, performed at the 2013 VMAs pre-show, and is going on a major tour this year.
