Taylor Swift posts her first Instagram of Calvin Harris on a swan pool floatie

Swan goals.

A photo posted by Taylor Swift (@taylorswift) on

Sorry I didn’t get to this yesterday! Taylor Swift posted her first-ever Instagram of Calvin Harris. That means they’re pretty much married in the new digital age. For a celebrity of Swifty’s stature – not to mention her famous declarations about not needing boys just a few months ago – posting a photo with her lover is a BIG deal. So let’s analyze.

First off, I like that it’s not a straight-up selfie. This was posed. Tay-Tay and Calvin worked on their angles. They wanted it to look just right. They got in the big swan and they positioned themselves. And a friend snapped the photo. My question: is this embarrassing for Calvin? He was never Mr. Street Cred, but does this alienate any of his fans? And if this annoys you… think of what poor Olivia and Meredith have to go through with their mom and now “Uncle Calvin.” Are Scottish Folds capable of rolling their eyes? And maybe Uncle Calvin’s presence is why Meredith has been acting out:

Meredith has been mad all day.

But! #SwanLove was not the first time Calvin ever appeared on Swifty’s social media at all. A few days ago, she tweeted an Instagram from Gigi Hadid and that IG had a blurry photo of Calvin laughing with Swifty’s friends. Here you go… is that Swifty’s kitchen?! I think it is.

    I still think this relationship is fake, however I would be willing to change my opinion if they actually make it past the New Year.

  2. NewWester says:

    Imagine if Taylor’s cat, Meredith and Miley Cyrus’s pig, Bubba Sue got together to write a book or blog about their famous owners? I bet they would throw more shade than a forest of redwood trees.

  3. MelissaManifesto says:

    As much I like Taylor Swift, she spent months giving countless interviews about being strong independent and single, not realizing perhaps that one can be all those things even while in the most committed of relationships. I guess she adopted a temporary persona until she found this guy whose name and face I can’t seem to make an effort to remember.

    • *North*Star* says:

      But that doesn’t mean she can’t or shouldn’t date (or did I read your post wrong?).

      • FLORC says:

        Maybe more that it’s all about pr image? The extremes of young girls? The I don’t need you! to the I have my girl friends! to I found the best guy ever! She puts out everything to extremes like immature girls do.

    • Mila says:

      how can you be single while in the most committed of relationships? not trying to be snarky but you obviously also wont really be independent in a committed relationship.

      • goofpuff says:

        you can be independent in a committed relationship if you have a partner who respects you. I feel quite independent. do I compromise? its like anything in life where you work out something that makes both of you happy.

      • Alex says:

        You can definitely be independent in a relationship for sure. I’m still independent but I’ve been in a relationship for a few months now. The only thing that has changed is there is someone there that makes me happy. its all about balance and compromise for me.

  4. Tristan says:

    I can’t stand la Swift & every squeaky clean & boring thing that she stands for, but the two of them seem very well matched. He seems like a fairly decent guy & they seems to have a lot in common. Also, their body language would indicate they are already very comfortable with one another

    • Franca says:

      I think they are very similar. Former uncool kids who have to show everyone just how cool they are.
      Also, if (when ) this goes tits up, he’ll throw a bigger tantrum than she will.

      I liked her for a while, but she’s annoying again.

    • Adam Wiles says:

      Tristan, He’s NOT a decent guy. Some of the things I’ve randomly ran across about this him disgust me. For one he body shamed Susan Boyle the British singer on SM and just a couple of months ago he drew a picture of Sam Smith (the singer and Taylor’s friend) that was, in the mildest of terms, distasteful.

      • FLORC says:

        He’s absolutely been completely awful and stuck up to a lot. And he was no stud until he hit major money. He’s had a full make over and the candid shots are tough to find now. He now would has attacked features he once had that he sees in others. Sad boy lashing out.

    • Mila says:

      only that he is not a decent guy. but yeah they fit together as in trash taling about their exes in public, though Calvin can still learn a great deal from Taylor on how to turn it into a big business.

      • Adam Wiles says:

        Exactly Mila. This is all for business. He gets a ton of exposure and she gets material for album #6. However , I don’t think Taylor has ever pulled any of the “fratboy bro dude” crap Harris has so there’s that. You know the break up is going to be really messy……..

      • kibbles says:

        I don’t think he is a decent guy either. I just googled him and read some stories and saw photos of him in several news outlets. He comes off as very fratty and someone who likes to play the field. I predict this will be end very badly, possibly as one of the most epic breakups for Taylor to date. She will use it for her next album of course which I predict will attempt to be more mature with some pop love ballads. Blah.

  5. Adam Wiles says:

    Now if they really wanted to break the internet they should’ve posted a shot depicting a reverse cow girl…… on the swan…

  6. Ellecommelejour says:

    The way she holds her purse every time is just SOOOOOOO annoying !!!

  7. Allie says:

    It’s annoying because she screams for privacy but does this or does a pap run with him. If she was more private, I’d actually stop hating on her but everything she does is calculated, including this picture. I still think this relationship is PR. I always kind of think Taylor is a lesbian.

    • Mila says:

      quite a few celebs do this but no one to the degree she does. what she does is normally reserved for desperate D-listers. but Taylor even has the nerve to complain about the scruinty she personally invites.
      Plus she and Ellie Whatshername are trying to spin this into a feminist issue how she is reduced to the men she dates. but i do not know any male singer who does it as extreme as she does. also no other female singer.

  8. Obsidian says:

    Maybe Meredith is having PMS 😂

  9. ela says:

    Imagine if Calvin runs off with one of her model friends….

    • Allie says:

      There was a blind item I read that Calvin was hooking up with Gigi or Cara (I couldn’t figure out which) before he met Taylor. I’m curious if she knows.

    • NewWester says:

      Taylor would have material for new music for the next ten years

      • cheryl says:

        It’s early in the morning here, and I read that as “musical” which is even funnier.

  10. Mila says:

    Please dont reduce Taylor to the man she dates, she tries everything to keep it private. she is such a feminist and its soo sexist to write about her love life *rolls eyes*

  11. Barrett says:

    The world is one fake narcissistic Instagram photo. I want celebs and people to enjoy moments instead of always thinking about the photo to show what a good time they are having!

    Tay get your hair wet, let it get curly and frizzy, jump in the pool w your man and Really have fun.

  12. Louise says:

    Looks like a staged photo to me.

    • Adam Wiles says:

      LOL… I wonder how many takes there were till they finally got it just rite… Ten? Twelve? Can you imagine how tiresome and just straight up annoying it must be to just hang out with her? All the staged “candids” would drive me nuts. Yeah, Harris is gonna dip outta there just as soon as his fame/exposure peaks…… Watch…

  13. Greek chic says:

    Ι am only here for the cat.
    Taylor is the most boring girl ever.

  14. blue marie says:

    Here cat is adorable

  15. lucy2 says:

    Mad? Please. Squawking about nothing is my cat’s usual demeanor.

  16. Annie... says:

    What I don’t understand is the criticism over her declarations of enjoying the single life and not needing a man of last year.
    I am a 26 years old woman that said basically that during two years, and then , one day, I met someone, and decided that that person was worth stopping being single.
    I don’t think that saying what Swifty said meant that she was going to stay single forever lol

    • RobN says:

      Thinking the same thing. I’m older, now, but it makes me shudder to think that I could have been held to every declaration I made while in my 20’s.

  17. INeedANap says:

    She puts down #swangoals beacuase she wants her followers to think #relationshipgoals. Ah Swifty, you manipulative control freak. But hey, enjoy that hot Scottish bod while you can.

  18. Nikki says:

    Hmmm…I love her kitchen. More kitchen shots!

  19. BritaBae says:

    She hasn’t been looking good lately. That hair as got to go…it really does nothing for her face.

  20. malina says:

    Poor Meredith just wants to fondled! So clear. Shame on you, Taylor!

  21. What was that says:

    I think Meredith is telłing her she is upset..there is a definite look there…perhaps instead of publishing this to her ‘fans’,she might try to make peace and cheer poor Meredith up with play,love or foôd..whatever she needs

  22. Zigggy says:

    Living the life- looks awesome!

  23. Anon says:

    I am sure Taylor can still be strong and independent woman. Being in a relationship does not define your independence or lack there of. She didn’t say she would be celebate too..lol

  24. I Choose Me says:

    The real celebrity here is Meredith. That is one beautiful cat.

  25. elle says:

    what is a swan goal?

  26. Veronica says:

    Needing a man and wanting to be with a man are two very different things, so I’m not entirely sure I’d suggest it entirely undermines her Grrrrl Power message. Dumping all her babes for A Babe would be more of an issue.

  27. Me too says:

    The pic looks like a complete rip off of Sia’s Day Too Soon video.

  28. InvaderTak says:

    Uhg. This is totally irrational, but for pete sakes’ just record your cat! We don’t need your face in everything! Why is she wearing that much makeup in her own home during the day anyway? Uhhhhg exhausting. That last shot looks like they were about to recreate some scenes from Joss W.’s Much ado. ick.

  29. Adam Wiles says:

    Expect more PR shenanigans next week from these two. They both have a few days off so you just know they’ll have to post some more “candid” pictures for us to see. My bet is Rhode Island for the next stop with this whirlwind showmance.

  30. DottieDot says:

    She looks like a Who from Whoville!

  31. TOPgirl says:

    It looks so fake…
    I honestly do not think he’s that into her and I believe she’s trying to prove to the world that somebody still wants her. LOL!
