Tracie Beer made it clear to us while out at the Blue Jacket Los Angeles fashion show in Hollywood she didn't want to say too much about Madison's new 'ship, making a lips-zipped motion when we prodded.

But, she did tell us she could at the very least say Madison "is happy."

Taylor shut that down quickly ... saying it’s not true at all.
