Sydney Sweeney attended the Euphoria Season 3 premiere at the TCL Chinese Theatre, marking the series’ long-awaited return after a four-year hiatus.
According to reports, the upcoming season may serve as the final installment, following the once-troubled teen characters five years after leaving high school as they navigate adulthood.

Sweeney reprises her role as Cassie Howard, one of the central characters, whose trajectory takes a controversial turn in the recently released teaser, where she is introduced as an adult-content creator.
For the premiere, she stepped out in an archival 2007 Pierre Cardin ensemble, a form-fitting white mini dress.
The 28-year-old actress was accompanied by her rumored boyfriend, Scooter Braun, at the event.

Reportedly, the pair arrived together, though Sweeney walked the red carpet solo.
Braun later joined her inside the auditorium, where viral clips captured the two sitting together during the premiere.
In a video obtained by Vanity Fair, the actress and the 44-year-old businessman were spotted holding hands and even sharing a brief kiss, as The Housemaid star gently grabbed Braun’s face to plant one on his lips.

The couple’s romantic moment, however, failed to win over social media users, especially fans of Taylor Swift.
One user joked, “Bet that kiss got more ratings than the actual show plot twist.”
Another person wrote, “Sydney Sweeney said new season, new storyline, and meant it fr.”

“Sydney Sweeney out here doing charity work. Scooter better not fumble her he bagged a baddie,” a third remarked.
Others quipped, “oh i know taylor is fuming!”
Another harsh comment read, “Imagine being proud of having THAT as a boyfriend. Sydney really is Cassie IRL.”
“Watch Swifties harassing her,” one netizen wrote, while another added, “Why did he look like he didn’t even want the kiss? Lol”

“That’s a headline no one saw coming… is this real chemistry or just a very public moment?”
For those unaware, the primary reason fans found the moment “infuriating” lies in Braun’s highly controversial history with Taylor.
He is widely viewed by her fanbase as a “villain” due to their years-long dispute over the ownership of her master recordings.
“Not her getting Swifties to hate her now! This girl can’t win,” one social media user joked online

In 2019, Braun’s company acquired Big Machine Label Group, giving him control over Swift’s first six albums.
The Grammy winner described the situation as her “worst-case scenario” and publicly called Braun an “incessant, manipulative bully.”
Even though Swift successfully regained ownership of her masters in May last year, the animosity toward the former talent manager remains deeply ingrained within her fanbase.

As for Sydney and her relationship with Braun, the two reportedly first connected in Venice while attending the wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez in June last year.
For months, the two kept things private, but rumors of a budding romance first ignited in September after they were spotted vacationing in Italy, as well as when Braun attended Sweeney’s 28th birthday party in Los Angeles.

By November, their relationship appeared to go public after paparazzi captured the duo sharing a passionate kiss in Central Park, New York City.
While neither has officially confirmed or addressed the romance, in a January 2026 interview with Cosmopolitan, Sweeney spoke candidly about navigating love after ending her long-term relationship with Jonathan Davino.
She admitted it is “hard deciding that I want to experience love in the public eye” while millions of people weigh in on what her relationship should look like.
The actress told the outlet, “I was in a relationship for a very long time, for seven and a half years, and I never talked about it. I was very private. No one would ever see us. I think it’s important to have some things for myself.”
“I understand that I’m a public person, but I’m still in my 20s. I’m still figuring out love, and it’s hard to do that with millions of people who have their own opinions of what that looks like.”
She concluded, “At the same time, for all of my 20s, I put my head down and focused on work, and now I want to experience things.”
“Is it just me, or is his body language off like I swear he hard jerks away from her right at the end…” wrote one skeptic

Look, dude fuct Taylor over, she sorted that out herself. So far all I know about Sweeney is that she likes posing in underwear in provocative ads and pissing Taylor off, probably out of jealousy. Correct me if I am wrong. Although I probably still won't care.
