Here are some photos of Taylor Swift and Lorde out in West Hollywood on Friday night. This is the most I’ve liked Taylor’s bob – it works better when she pushes her bangs to the side, right? They went out to The Nice Guy, a popular hotspot for the young and wealthy. Lorde still isn’t old enough to drink in America, so I wonder what she does when Taylor is sipping cocktails? Anyway, Swifty has been in LA for much of the year, ever since her tour ended. What’s nice is that her boyfriend Calvin Harris has also been camped out in LA, where he also has a home. Things seem to be going pretty well for them – they celebrated their one-year anniversary with a nice vacation, and there are many, many rumors that Taylor is thinking about marrying him. According to Grazia (via The Belfast Telegraph):
“Before meeting Calvin she’d completely sworn off men and was focusing on her career,” an insider told Britain’s Grazia magazine. “The last thing she wanted was to get involved with another high-profile man but they just clicked. This is the most secure Taylor has ever felt. It’s not been easy getting there after everything she’s been through with her previous boyfriends but Calvin has proved over the last year that he’s The One.”
Calvin spending Christmas (Dec15) with Taylor’s family in Colorado “sealed the deal” for both the stars, the source added. The couple have recently enjoyed some time alone together when they jetted to a tropical location for a much-deserved break. Now the pair’s pals are gearing up for an engagement announcement, with the general feeling that Taylor and Calvin will undoubtedly be walking down the aisle at some point in the future.
“It definitely feels like that’s where it’s headed, but who knows how they’d find the time to plan a wedding,” the source smiled. “They had to move mountains to make their holiday work and their hectic schedules are a challenging obstacle when it comes to finding time for each other. But for now, as far as friends are concerned it’s not a case of if, but when.”
I’m very interested in seeing what a Taylor Swift-Calvin Harris engagement would look like. I think her fans would be very surprised, especially since many of them treat Swifty like she’s still 17 years old and in need of “protection.” What would it mean for her fandom if Taylor really did get engaged and it was for real, because Taylor and Calvin truly adore each other and it’s a mature, adult relationship? Hm.
Speaking of mature adults, Taylor and her brother Austin got into a crazy Easter egg war over the holiday, and Taylor posted the videos on her Twitter:

As a teacher seeing first hand how girls treat Tay Tay as if she is a literal goddess who is not really human, a good portion of them will flat out lose their mind if she gets engaged. At least this is how it would go on my end. I have no clue about the rest of the world.
In my country she’s at the same fame level as someone like Pink or Shakira. Lower, actually. More like Miley Cyrus or Lorde. People know some of her songs ( nothing country, only the new pop ones), but no one would care if she got engaged. But then, we don’t really have a “celebrity culture” here, so even if she was mega famous, people wouldn’t freak out over it.
I’m not sure for the rest of Europe.
Interesting to see how pop culture is consumed differently all over the world! What country in Europe do you live in?
The part of me that cannot stand this GirlWomanThing says that it won’t happen, because Taylor Swift loooooooves to play the victim. She’s built an almost decade-long career out of this “gasp, who me?” Victim persona. That’s why people still treat her like she’s a teenager– she acts like one, full stop. And if she’s in a healthy, happy, stable, permanent relationship, she no longer gets to play the victim.
On the other hand, I could see them being genuinely into each other and there’s that other part of me that thinks this really could happen. In which case she’ll just create more girl drama to find new ways to play the victim. Innovative, this one.
The last bit is too funny, Shambles! Something I’ve been wondering…. Does she call him Calvin or Adam? I’ve always wondered what celebs who don’t use their real names professionally get addressed as by their nearest and dearest…
I think she calls him Adam. When they wrote their initials in the sand they used his A initial and I think she said something about Adam on those photos from the beach. I remember being like UH OH WHERE’S CALVIN.
Yes. I follow Tay Tay way too closely on IG. oh wells.
Well, thank you, Abby. I’ve got a thing about names, you see. When I meet someone new and hear their name for the first time, that’s what I call them forever more. I have a niece and two friends called Vanessa. The niece is always Vah-nessa (as is the Italian pronunciation). One friend is always Vanessa, as that was how we were introduced, even though lots of our friends call her Ness. The other is always Ness, which is how my best friend (her SIL) introduced us.
As for TS’s love life, meh.
I don’t get why he changed from a entirely normal real name to an entirely normal stage name. The stage name isn’t clever or striking or “stagey” at all. Why not just use his regular name as it isn’t weird or unpleasant? Or does “Calvin Harris” have some clever pun or hipster usage that I’m just to old and out-of-it to get?
Exactly! I have wondered the same thing. Anyone know?
Malificent and Canadian Becks — I looked it up too because I was curious, and now I’m side-eyeing him as a person.
Apparently, he changed his name to sound more “racially ambiguous”. This is a real quote: “I thought people might not know if I was black or not. After that, I was stuck with it.”
Probably time for a reinvention anyway. She wouldn’t be the first, nor the last, to change her image
she needs a new persona after people got sick of her treating all her teenage heartthrob boyfriends as disposable trash and then she overdid her “i am the first woman to be friends with another woman” stunt and people got sick of that too.
so the new bridezilla taylor could carry an album and a tour. i can see the Goodhouse Keeping cover already.
its obviously no real relationship, if they had to “move mountains” to spend a couple of days together they could be in for a surprise if they ever spend more than a week together and see how the other one is in day to day life. or they go the professional power couple route and only see each other every other month for a week end and some public appearances while having different lovers on the road as they are having now.
both are career people and will never make another person a priority so it could work. while talyor is driven and ambitious professionally i feel like she still would be upset if a man does not have her as his priority.
I completely agree with everything you just said.
Or they could, you know, actually get along just fine and feel they have good reasons to consider a future together. Call me crazy but I don’t think we can say for sure that this is not a real relationship. When they debuted as a couple people gave them a month or two of contried pap strolls followed by an epic, nasty breakup. That didn’t happen. So now people are saying they may get married but it won’t last and there will be an epic, nasty divorce.
I don’t know how real their relationship is or how deep it is but they seem genuinely happy and comfortable with one another. Harris is known for long term relationshps and even though Taylor certainly is not I believe she has always wanted to be in one. They might be yawn city but i don’t get the schadenfreude.
of course it would last longer than that, evevryone called her out before so she had to change it. just like George Clooney suddenly sells his superwife after people got sick of his image.
he is also not known for long term relationships (but when he is stressed he likes to get a massage) unless you count a couple of months as long term.
It annoys me when people make comments such as “while having different lovers on the road as they are having now” as thought this were well known, acknowledged and accepted fact. I’m not a TS fan; I really don’t know her music at all. But you could not possibly know something like that.
Sorry, it’s just a huge pet peeve when people automatically assume that their negative opinions and assumptions are equal to facts.
People do the same thing about plastic surgery. Everyone in Hollywood has remade their face from scratch=fact. To be sure, plastic surgery is prevalent but give me a break, everyone has not had 17 facial procedures.
do you really think two attractive famous people in their prime that have countless opportunities with super hot people are celibate for months?
Esther,
Do you really think your opinions can be accurately generalized to include people you do not personally know?
Wow you know them? To say it’s not real? They are both busy although for the life of me I don’t know what this guy does, but he is apparently busy and she has a crazy schedule. Do you really find it that hard to believe it was difficult to figure out holiday plans? Because talk to any average family in America and its a challenge for everyone to get the same time off.
To say their relationship isn’t real is presumptuous. I’m not a fan but give me a break this girl isn’t some evil mastermind she is living her life if they get engaged great if not who cares she seems fine. I honestly think some people want to attack her for nothing and really at this point it doesn’t feel legitimate it seems to come from a place of insecurity.
im not saying i dont buy that they are busy. im saying if they are too busy to find a couple of days to spend with each other they will never get to know the other person. no the average american family is not months apart every year, most people come home every day or at least at the weekend. this isnt about the holidays, its about the whole year for them.
look at taylors dating life and tell me about the realness of it.
@esther no a lot of American families spend months apart think how many don’t live in the same town it’s why getting vacation at the holidays is such a struggle and fight at work!
You clearly don’t like Taylor, that’s fine she has a lot of things about her that are annoying but to hold her past dating life against her when she was extremely young and really her behavior wasn’t that strange she just made it much much more public.
You’re putting your issues on her relationship without any direct knowledge of her personally. She might be a flake and it might not last but you and I know nothing about it.
I think the thing that makes them work is that they’re both crazy successful right now. But that’s not going to last forever and then the relationship will blow up and one or both of them will use it to reinvigorate their career/s.
That egg video is brilliant, I think there was one last year of them playing dirty during an Easter egg hunt.
Need more sibling rivalry.
Dullest couple ever. They look so boring together that I feel like taking a nap.
Oh totally! They are pretty boring apart. But together they are beiger than Chris Martin and Paltrow.
Agree with both of you! That being said, those videos were sort of cute of her with her brother.
Kinda young and w too much success! You hate to say it but it’s like ok so then when do they plan the divorce, for when she turns 29?
If they do get engaged and start planning a wedding, how many bridesmaids will Taylor have? Her “squad” has a lot of members
Her bridal party will consist of whomever is in the lineup for the 2016 VS Fashion Show + Selena Gomez.
The fact that theyre a “boring” couple leads me to believe that theyre real. The less dramatic relationship stuff you see on social media the more normal a relationship tends to be. The odd photo of a couple is fine but when youre seeing constant declarations of love and showy gifts the more people seem to have to proove.
They’re fairly showy really, for a high profile celebrity couple. Hell, Taylor used her BFF’s birthday as a pretense to share a photo of him in full focus! That’s pretty attention-seeking. They’ve shared various staged vacation pics, they shared a lot on that 1 yr anniversary, they’ve done many pap walks.
They’re just ‘boring’ people. They’re doing the PDA thing, it’s just so boring no one cares. Just like no one clutches their pearls when Taylor wears shorts that show half her ass and grinds with shirtless guys on tour, or Calvin tries to start a major twitter flame war. They get away with loads because they’re not just vanilla, they’re sugar free, no fat, vanilla. No one cares.
click on her name under the article above and look at their vacaction pictures and then think of how many other A-List celebs sell their love lives like this.
She could just be happy and posting pics from her vacation like anyone else would do.
@erinn
Just a note
Boring and low profile does not have the same meaning. A high profile celebrity could be really boring as person and a low profile celebrity could be fascinating.
I think they are probably real in the sense that they are dating but also clearly use each other for PR purposes. They are both extremely ambitious people and especially Calvin benefits from dating her in terms of mainstream visibility.
Maybe her tenth true love is the real deal. She’s of the marrying age, so really who cares. She’s no different than any other woman out there so go for it. Get married, bake cookies, have babies and retire……or at least retire the tired and redundant breakup songs.
Didn’t he only spend like a day in Colorado? I really don’t think they spend a lot of time together. This is milking the most of their pr relationship before they call it quits….
Yep, and they only spent two days together in the Bahamas. My cousin is a fanatic and believes Taylor is a closeted lesbian and I believe it.
I totally agree with your cousin!
Ding. Ding. Ding. That’s it!
yeah thats my point. how are you going to get married to someone you have to “move mountains” to spend two days together? their jobs mean more to them than their love lives and thats their choice, why would they get married?
Sometimes I see a new couple together and I just know they will get married. That was also the case with Taylor and Calvin. So since March 2015, I have no doubt that they will marry and have babies. And don’t expect a short marriage either.
So this is her first long term relationship and she’s already planning to make him put a ring on it? Girl, you are too young. Even if you were old enough, you’d still be Too. Young.
“planning to make him put a ring on it”?
If this is your take on Taylor because of her dating history, okay, fine. If this is your take on Taylor as a female stereotype, well, bless your heart.
They’ll probably have a baby before getting married…it’s the trend in Hollywood. A horrible trend to say the least…but I don’t care if these two douches get married…they’re still douches.
Re: Lorde. Being underage doesn’t stop anyone wealthy and famous from drinking in Hollywood.
This. How many times have the jenner girls been photographed leaving clubs obviously plastered and underage?
Lorde is pulling an Esther on us all. There’s no way that girl is underage. She’s at least 46 years old. There I said it.
I cant stand Swifty but I will begrudge her that that is an awesome lipstick. Thats all the goodwill ive got.
I think it is a real relationship…. just not our version of real and then even that varies….
Calvin wanted a successfull (popular too lol) it star who was prudish in persona but someone who has their own money and brand and etc…. (unlike forgettable model #375 and or a famehworey low rung needy grunt worker pop star wanna be — rita)
Taylor wanted the same thing but male…..
thus they are right for each other….. i particularly dont feel anyway about them and they are silly at times but hey… it looks like the real deal for THEM
I never knew she had a brother and now it seems he’s everywhere. I doubt this is by accident. Is he in the entertainment business? It all seems so PR’y.
Her brother is hot.
