Harry Styles, Taylor Swift Share Midnight Kiss Following Songstress' New Year's Rockin' Eve Performance, Haylor Smooch goes Viral [VIDEO]

Despite bogus marriage and pregnancy rumors swirling around the young, budding Hollywood romance infamously deemed Haylor, pop-country songstress Taylor Swift and One Direction heartthrob Harry Styles rang in 2013 with an adorably innocent midnight kiss following Swift's performance at "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve" in Times Square. In front of millions of fans, Swift and Styles shared an intimate smooch as the beautiful "Auld Lang Syne" slowly faded into "New York, New York" before heading back to spend the night at their snazzy NYC hotel early New Year's morning. The infamous Haylor New Year's kiss has since gone viral on Twitter and beyond.

Before ringing in 2013 with a monumental lip-lock, Swift performed two of the biggest hits off of her recent "Red" album - "I Knew You Were Trouble" and "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together." Given the unfortunate passing of American television/radio legend Dick Clark back in April, popular "American Idol" host Ryan Seacrest took over the "New Year's Rockin' Eve" responsibilities on Monday evening. Before Swift's final 2012 performance, the songstress tweeted:

@taylorswift13: "Can't. even. verbalize. how stoked I am for 2013!"

Then later on during all of the Times Square mania as the clock struck midnight, Styles pulled his latest leading lady in for a New Year's smooch/makeout... and a fan managed to capture it on video! Following the prolonged lip-lock, the duo embraced for a cute New Year's hug.

The New Year's PDA has since set the Twitter-world abuzz:

@TaylorGreig2: "Am I the only one who smiled when I saw @Harry_Styles and @taylorswift13 kiss? :) Don't hate guys, they're happy! #nohate."

@vaniaachristina: "Umm @taylorswift13 & @Harry_Styles 's New Years Kiss was actually the most adorable thing ever! They Looked soo happy!"

‏@sheynahbanana: "I died a little inside, but if he's happy well then i'm happy. #youtube Taylor Swift and Harry Styles New Years Kiss."

Despite gossip that Swift is allegedly "scaring Styles away with her insistent baby talk," Haylor looks as happy and as strong as ever! Do fans hope that the young love continues to grow heading into 2013?
