Considering that Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris’s breakup went from zero to DRAMA in the span of an hour on Wednesday, it’s sort of interesting that Calvin is trying to reclaim the higher ground. After some particularly juicy gossip came out about the breakup last night, Calvin tweeted this:
The only truth here is that a relationship came to an end & what remains is a huge amount of love and respect
— Calvin Harris (@CalvinHarris) June 2, 2016
“A huge amount of love and respect…” Sure. For what it’s worth, I think they really did care about each other. I know there were always claims that this was all a contractual relationship, but I think they were for real. And now she’s heartbroken and he’s doing damage control and their teams are leaking damaging stories and it’s all so petty and melodramatic and amazing. Speaking of, as I covered earlier today, People Magazine had a bitchy he-said/she-said story last night, with Swifty sources claiming that Calvin dumped Swifty because he was intimidated by her success. This is what Page Six had to say about that:
Calvin Harris breaking up with Taylor Swift because he’s “intimidated by her success is a bunch of crap,” a source close to the DJ told Page Six.
“She broke up with him this week,” the source said. “She gave a bulls - - t excuse about her career. He was ring shopping.”
A friend of Swift’s had told People magazine that Harris was “intimidated” by her success and “would not attend any events where she was being honored.” But another source told us, “He’s not intimidated. He’s a global success.” The couple dated for 15 months.
Love it. Love everything about it! And no, I don’t believe he was ring-shopping. And no, I don’t believe Taylor dumped Calvin. Taylor only acts this crazy when she’s the one who gets dumped, and all of the other sources are still sticking to the original story, that he dumped her last week. Still, E! News’ sources claim that Calvin was unhappy for months:
For Calvin Harris, the spark in his relationship with Taylor Swift had fizzled out long before he called it quits, E! News has learned.
“Adam has been bored for a while and was hoping the spark would come back but it hasn’t,” a source told E! News exclusively Thursday. “Friends were even surprised it lasted this long because of the lack of chemistry.”
I do think that Calvin Harris’s pre-Swifty girlfriends were “sexy” ladies, more of the model/bombshell variety. And while I love Swifty, she has always come across as somewhat asexual, like she’s more about cats, baking and antiquing. Still, I think there’s something mean about all of these Team Calvin sources insisting that Tay and Calvin had no heat together.

Honestly, I found myself thinking a bit more of Calvin for dating a woman who was successful, and had a personality (I know y’all will disagree), rather than a hanger-on model.
I agree. He’s just a person who likes to be entertained. Glitter and sparkle without substance. At least he attempted an adult relationship (contract or not). She wants the hunt over asap and herself locked down which means she’ll probably marry the wrong guy. 🙁
I doubt he was jealous of her success bc she’s pretty much the same level as when she met him.
She will marry the first man to ask.
Well, none of these rumors are making either of them any more interesting that’s for sure. They broke up. This ‘there’s drama but there’s no drama’ rumor cycle is getting weird. Like the PR narrative is trying to make us care that they’re done but there’s nothing here to care about.
“Like the PR narrative is trying to make us care that they’re done but there’s nothing here to care about.”
Well said.
IKR? 2 young people dated for a year and broke up. Big whoop.
^ Yep. I dated my ex for a year and we broke up. We tried but it just didn’t work out. Does it really matter who dumped who first?
That “who dumped who” thing is so juvenile! It was a relationship, not a contest.
Basically its stacking up to all sources saying she didn’t cut it… in the bedroom.. not very nice of him to put that out there
I would usually agree but Taylor is famous for putting out negative personal business about her ex’s AND making a huge about of money from it. This is how she built her career. So unfortunately she is going to get a taste of her own medicine this time around.
@original I agree!
Ya. But everybody’s already kinda figured that one out already.
Hey, are you saying being all about baking, antiques and cats isn’t sexy? Wha…😨
ha ha ha love you GNAT
Me, too, you!
Well, the guy is a hugely successful DJ, he must have women throwing themselves at him nightly.
I need to know the story behind that rug.
I keep coming up with scenarios for a young white hipster to be carrying a smallish woven rug around in LA and- besides a religious conversion- have drawn a blank. PLS SND HELP.
Really fancy yoga mat? That’s all I got.
But he’s wearing JEANS! And the string. It’s a once off thing, not a repeatable device- it would fray too quickly. And then what? He has a whole spool of it at home that he keeps just for the yoga mat/Olivia Benson Playtime? PLS SND HELP
It’s a small wool area rug, probably 3×4 feet. I have one similar in my entry way.
Yeah what’s the story behind that trendy tattoo?
Those two together are a snoozefest.
in the first pic he looks an awful lot like Perez Hilton. or the margarita are still strong from last night?
But what of the olive branch he extended to her weeks ago?
WHAT OF THAT?
Btw, ladies, if a guy ever offers you an olive tree as a gift know something is coming. Dude was planning his escape carefully.
Lol that’s an “I’m about to end this” gift if I’ve ever seen one
Hes so mediocre.
Lemme get my popcorn cause this is going to be good.
Also Taylor retweeted CH’s tweet you posted
i think both camps misread the carefully worded announcement by their publicists.
its NO drama not MO drama. honestly…
**rolls around in the salt and levels of petty of their drama** yaaaaaaas. feeeed me!
This is the breakup we maybe didn’t need but totally deserve. It’s been a hard week; I’ve EARNED this drama soufflé!
lol!
And once again nobody mentioned what caught my attention : that she retweted him lol
His ego is too big not to fight back. He genuinely thinks he’s a big star, on her level.
He’s actually worth like $200 million and has some talent, unlike her. He is petty af though.
Maybe she’ll finally get a taste of her own medicine and it will come from someone who can actually write lyrics and hires singers who actually have vocal talent.
Da fuq is Adam?
What’s there to be bored with? Mean-girl posses? Twee street style? Eighth-grade level award acceptance speeches? Nights spent cooing over Meredith & Co.? Nah…..
Honestly, who cares if he was bored. I am no fan of Taylor Swift, but she is infinitely more interesting and compelling than he is. It’s absurd that the message being sent to her young impressionable female fans is this: even your gorgeous, successful idol can’t hold on to a guy because she’s just not sexy or interesting enough. Eff that!
I agree with you. it’s one thing that they broke up for whatever reason, but it’s something else when the media starts to talk shit about her…like this…he was bored. she’s not sexy enough and stuff like that. you’re right…she may be wealthy, smart, capable, beautiful…as can be, but she’s not playing the sex card and doesn’t look like she’s constantly having an orgasm and therefore she’s somebody men get bored with and it’s totally reasonable he dumped her.for real…women aren’t walking asses and tits and pouty mouths.she has a personality, loves cats, watches grey’s anatomy, writes songs, bakes…she’s a complex person with emotions and interest and should be respected.
This is even less exciting than Zayn and Gigi. I didn’t think that was possible. Zzzzzz…..
I don’t find it mean at all. Sometimes there isn’t much spark. That’s likely the reason for most breakups. It was in my case, at least. She was probably too controlled and was never relaxed enough for passion.
No No boo boo, he dumped her because they had no sexual chemistry and he was bored in that regard. I’m sure he liked her, respected her career, drive, thought she was pleasant, but he wasn’t feeling it in the other regard!
Even I am bored, and I don’t have to date her… Let alone him. Oh, the drama!
(uma brasileira aqui!! achei que era a única a acompanhar esse site haha)
This couple was a snooze fest. Now that it’s over, it’s finally getting interesting.
So true….the fairytale romance story w/accompanying sunset at the beach pics be damned…*gets popcorn
