Calvin Harris has no chill. Neither does Tom Hiddleston, but that’s a conversation for another day. We always knew that Calvin and Taylor’s breakup would be messy and dramatic, but did any of us seriously think that Taylor Swift would look like the one who “moved on” quickly and Calvin Harris would be insanely hung up on how Taylor did him wrong? I didn’t think it would play out that way, I’ll admit it. I didn’t think Calvin Harris would be running to TMZ every few days to pick at the scab of his breakup with Taylor.
So, Calvin has been in Mexico for a week or so, judging from Calvin’s Instagram. The above Instagram is of Calvin and British singer John Newman (who has an incredible voice). Calvin and John are collaborating on a new song. And Calvin is making some lyrical swipes at Tay.
Calvin Harris has beaten Taylor Swift to the punch, writing a cheating song … about her. The track is called “Ole,” and it’s written from Tom Hiddleston’s POV. The lyrics make it clear … Calvin believes Taylor had hooked up with Tom way before she broke up with him.
One lyric goes, “I see online that you begun to be a good girl and take trips with your boyfriend. Being attentive, continue to pretend …”
If that wasn’t clear enough, the song goes on … “You’ve hidden my name in your phone so you can call me to tell me you’ve been going through hell. Left him alone and you booked in a hotel.”
And, using Tom’s famous ‘Thor’ character Loki, the song goes on, “Low key you won’t tell none of your friends about me.”
Our Calvin sources say he has no animus towards Tom … he feels he’s under Taylor’s spell, and the one who made the fateful decisions was her and her alone. The pic below was taken in Mexico last week with John Newman, the singer on the track. They shot the music video south of the border.
DEAR GOD. Calvin: please chill. I mean, it’s funny and everything and I’m glad he’s writing breakup songs and beating Taylor to the punch, so to speak. She’s not used to that. But writing it from Tom Hiddleston’s perspective? And leaking the details to TMZ? And telling TMZ that you think your ex’s new boyfriend is “under her spell”? MY GOD.
I was thinking about this the other day: which of Taylor Swift’s exes handled the breakup like a boss? Because it’s not Calvin Harris. I actually think Harry Styles was probably the most baller ex. It’s widely believed that Harry dumped Taylor on New Year’s Day in 2013. I believed the rumors that Taylor threw a hissy fit about something stupid and Harry ended it while they were on vacation. She tried to stalk her way back into his life and he wasn’t having it – when he was done, it was over, end of story. But he never said one bad word against her publicly. He even complimented her several times over the years, saying that he liked the songs she had written about their relationship. How is that Harry Styles has more grace and class than Calvin Harris? I don’t know.

as the gods of gossip predicted! the prophecy has come true!
Yesssss I’m so excited at the messiness!!
It is all so glorious! Calvin, my most genuine thanks. And the “under Taylor’s spell” thing–picturing her twitching her nose like Samantha in Bewitched!
Yes. Grace and class don’t make good gossip! Sink to her level Calvin! Sell your private life for some coins! Karma et al….
Meh. Something tells me they’re all in on it together. Seriously, who acts [out] publicly like this without standing to gain from it?
lots of people, in fact. we all have those messy friends with super messy break up where everything (and i mean everything) is in the open, on social media, in person.
Yeah, I think his involvement is to make TnT seem actually authentic.
This is me on Celebitchy right now:
1. check whether there are any Tiddles posts
2. quickly go throught the other celebs (yawn)
3. go back and enjoy Tiddles
I hope the Gossip Gods have mercy and let this continue all sommer long!!
In a way, I’m glad Taylor’s getting a taste of her own medicine. Now she will maybe understand how awkward and embarrassing it is to be written songs about in a bad light. I’ve NO sympathy for Taylor, no matter how fan friendly or wholesome she appears to be.
Unfortunately, I think she’ll love this. Another chance for her to play the victim without taking a minute to realize how hypocritical that is. At this point, I’m really not sure who out of the trio I feel the most second hand embarrassment for…
Oh yes….Tay-Tay LOVES to play the victim card. I feel she will write a retaliatory song in due time once she pries her hands out of Tom’s hands for a few minutes.
The victim aspect is already showing up, via the ‘leave them alone’ type comments the last couple of days.
“At this point, I’m really not sure who out of the trio I feel the most second hand embarrassment for…”
I agree wholeheartedly! Whenever I begin to feel bad for one of them in particular, another one steps forward and embarrasses themselves even further, lol
This isn’t the first song that’s been written about her. John Mayer wrote one. I don’t think she’ll lose any sleep over this. Throughout history, songwriters have written songs about their exes.
this.
No, you’re supposed to toe the party line and say Taylor is an evil man-eater and everything she does is ghastly, unique, not done by any other person or female celeb ever – I mean, really, taking photos with friends at a party, who does that?! Only Taylor the evil, immature, fake, crazy slut.
excellent point….karma is a bitch! : )
Grabbing popcorn as all the “Taylor feminist” (who don’t understand that actual feminism is equal treatment, pay and social standing between the genders NOT getting away with trashing men) cry sexism for Calvin doing the same darn thing Taylor does which they consider “harmless”! LMAO.
‘How dare he kiss and tell!!!!!’
‘This is private, he is not a real man!’
‘Why is he picking on that poor innocent little girl!’
‘There is a special place in hell for men who trash women’
‘This is NOT fair, why can’t he stay quiet like the other guys Swifty got paid for trashing!!!!”
Yes. Exactly this, OTC.
Karma is a bitch and she’s gunning for Taytay. I cannot WAIT.
#TeamCalvin
It’s just a matter of time until she does the same thing to Hiddles when a newer, hipper model comes along.
Or until she gets back with Calvin. Which is likely.
Can’t wait to see all the Swifties try and tear CH apart while condoning all of her “blind item” songs. Karma always catches up to you
I don’t think it’s going to be Calvin Harris that brings Taylor Swift down…but it’s funny that he thinks he’s got that level impact
Yup, my thought too. The song probably won’t even be a hit, never mind the world wide humiliation he wants. Also, isn’t this guy a DJ? I didn’t know he sang.
She will love this. Maybe they even end up making a duet song about their short lived love story
It’s really just a marketing manipulation. I would never have been interested in this guy’s lyrics- but now he’s stolen a viable plot of celebrity break up music. Good for him, but now Taylor’s call and response songs will be more poplar than ever, even if her music sucks as usual.
This is just all so juvenile and hilarious and I cannot look away.
lol right? I roll my eyes and sigh at every headline … and then I click on it.
I don’t know how these people are all adults. General breakup songs are great and cathartic and go with these people’s territory. Referring to “low key” is high school level shade. Isn’t he over 30?
MTE. They have massively failed at adulting.
This made sense when Taylor was a teenager and her boyfriends were teenagers. This is actually embarrassing to watch. I’m hoping this is some sort of performance art at this point.
With the immaturity displayed by both of them, I’m surprised it took 15 months for them to implode.
Says someone who uses the word adulting. lol
Does no one remember how much is effin hurts to break up ? My biggest breakup hurt like mofo and I was 30. I shudder to think back to those days and how stupid I was and crazy, yeah I was crazy.
Also you don’t have to be in love for it to hurt, it can hurt BAD.
#TeamNoOne
Hadleyb – “Adulting” is the gerund version of the infinitive “to adult,” which means “demonstrating the societal standards of behavior deemed appropriate for those older than 25.” 😉
I don’t know why she and Calvin broke up – they are a perfect match! Probs too much narcissism for one relationship to handle…
Is he actually a twelve year old girl?
Haha, my exact reaction to just the headline was “What, is he 12?”
Nope but neither is Taylor Swift who has built her empire on petty breakup songs attacking her ex-boyfriends. But of course when Taylor does it, her fans call it “harmless”. Good for Calvin, Karma is a bitch!
It really is good for absolutely nobody. No adult needs to behave this way, not him and not Swift. But she built her brand around it when she was still a teenager. I hope she grows out of it, she’s in her 20s now. But this guy really has no excuse if – as Kaiser pointed out – Harry frickin’ Styles (and the Kennedy child, btw.) has shown more class than ANYONE involved in this Great Big Swift Mess of 2016. Let’s thank them all for the gossip and agree that it’s only good gossip because CH is behaving like a high schooler. We’ll see what she does but right now, he’s the fool.
She is 27 soon. She hasn’t been a teenager for almost a decade. Those famous break up songs were written after she was no longer a teenager. She wrote half an album about a guy she had a couple of months fling with. And she was mid twenties at that point.
I understand what you are saying about Harris but i am gonna guess he is more interested in making money than being commended for his maturity.
I really don’t have a problem with any singers complaining about relationship problems in their songs. The idea that they shouldn’t do that feels like a kind of new idea, because singers, songwriters, and other creative types have been doing this since forever.
Both him and Tom I ❤️Taylor hiddleston are 12 year old girls. Seriously immature both of them. At least Calvin doesn’t have a 12 year old girls mind in a 45 year old mans body though. I can’t believe these guys are the best she can do. Smh.
Why use “girl” though? Why not just “12 year old”, or “boy”?
This song was apparently written well over three months ago. So either this whole thing is even faker than we thought, Calvin is a seer, or people claiming the song about Taylor is reaching.
The melody and some of the lyrics could have been written awhile back and then retooled to fit the present circumstances.
Some of the lyrics only had to be changed to update the song.
@Frexit, yes, it was. He wrote it back when they were together and supposedly happy. And while some are arguing he could have just changed some of the lyrics recently, the way that thing is worded, he would have had to change most of the lyrics. Not likely. He wrote this thing months ago when they were supposedly happy. And not months ago as in May but months ago as in March and recorded shortly after.
This makes me sing with joy. Thank you gossip gods for a most glorious summer of tiddles!
He’s making bank the same way taylor made bank on her exes. Fair play.
Totally agree
Mayer did the same thing after “Dear John” came out with “Paper Doll,” but it wasn’t at all incriminating.
I love that Calvin gets called immature, when he’s doing the EXACT thing Taylor does after every relationship.
I still love the complete meltdown Taylor had after the Harry split. That relationship lasted a little over a month and he was a teenager at the time, yet she still went unhinged. I love it, even years later.
Eh he also was an idiotic baby when him and Rita Ora broke up. Just because Taylor is immature that doesn’t make Calvin much of an adult.
How was he idiotic for the Rita break up? (I really hope this is not about him not letting her sing his songs)
Pretty sure she cheated on him too so yea I don’t feel bad for Rita. She cheats on her SOs
I have to agree with folks here. If you write songs for a someone you love and then find out they were cheating on you, why would you let them sing the songs, YOU produced and YOU wrote. I wouldn’t and I don’t think that’s petty not let a person that used you make money off of your work.
Anyhow, I can’t wait for this song, I think all in all it’s hilarious.
It does seem kind of petty to try to deliberately sabotage someone’s work because of personal relationship problems. But I don’t exactly feel sympathy either.
Taylor was in her late teens, early-mid 20s when she wrote all of her past breakup songs. Calvin is 32. So yeah, Taylor gets more of a pass to act immature about those breakups because she was young and dumb. Calvin is 32 and has no excuse.
She likes to play the victim and rallies a bunch of people when 1 person even looks at her wrong. This has been pretty consistent so if I was Calvin I wouldn’t bet on it that she wouldn’t write about him too. She also always goes from 0-100 in relationship and likes to organise shoots to display this trend, again very consistent. I don’t see her change all of a sudden because she is going into her 30s now. Some people are immature no matter their age.
Also yes she’s immature but she is running her own empire and changing her image every 2-3 years to sell albums. Immature does not equal stupid so there is also no excuse to exploit her relationships for money. She is smart and aware of what people thought of her, hence the start of girl squad. She’s in control and Calvin wants to control his narrative too. Fair play no?
She wrote a song just last year about Katy Perry because of a backup dancer & John Mayer. What is the excuse for that behavior? She was only 24? Come on. She’s still that immature teenager and will continue to be that immature teenager.
This right here. I’m glad someone else is giving her a taste of her own medicine. I think it’s hilarious. Have fun storming the castle, Calvin.
Think it will work? It will take a miracle. Couldn’t resist😊
He was a douche before they dated so Taylor knew what she was getting into. And if Taylor is allowed to write album after album about exes, years after the break-ups then Calvin surely can crank out 1 song 1 month after the reported break-up. It’s still fresh in our minds thanks to Tayto’s Love Parade and the summer needs drama like this. Let him wave his pity flag high and pride!
The excuses for Taylor and other artists who use their personal life to make money was always that it is what ‘artists’ do or that they’re just immature. Not sure why Calvin can’t be one of these things too then. He’s very successful and mainstream, why not use Taylor/personal life to boost your bank account? In 2 years when Taylor does it, he’ll be too late if he doesn’t grab the opportunity now. THEN he’ll look pathetic. Now it’s still fun.
Enjoy eating what you’ve dished out so often, Tay-Tay. She’s had this coming for a long time.
Well … isn’t that only fair? Everyone points out how immature, how emotionally stunted, how petty Taylor is – why should he be raised up for doing the same thing?
This – I think both of them seem very immature. Taylor’s fans eat it up though – not so sure about his.
+1,000,000
People are calling Clavin immature because his actions seem to be immature. And people(at least here on Celebitchy which is a bastion of reasonable gossip fans), call Taylor immature all the time(because she is). They both are ridiculously immature, silly, and petty- which has made this breakup so hilarious and good for gossip.
Thank god we live in the age of instagram! It poses a philosophical question, if two thirsty celebs breakup and there are no twitter/instagram accounts around to witness it, does their suffering even exist?
Thank you!! There is no one to stan here they are all just being epically ridiculous. We should all bask in the gossip gift of this breakup and the beauty that is Hiddleswift.
Pretty much this. Team No One?
I’m going to give a pass on this one. As many have said this is her forte. She is the queen of trashing people and holding grudges. she gets away with it. All her exes are quiet and respectful which I feel only gives her more power. She KNOWS she can trash people and they won’t do anything about it. If someone throws it back at her for once and isn’t afraid of her she may back down.
Well, if you all call TS immature, don’t you have to call him immature as well?
No when Calvin acts like a child it’s “karma” and “payback”, don’tcha know.
But he is being immature.. I love how people love to come back but Taylor does it… so what? Ever hear of being the bigger person? It looks like Taylor Swift, of all people, is the bigger person.
Yet look how much attention they are ALL getting. It’s “dorks’ tryin’ to be cool” PR heaven.
Someone explain to me why Adam Whateverhisnameis would write this from the perspective of LEGS? And it’s a diss? I do not understand. Why would a diss involve pretending you are the new boyfriend of your putatively cheating ex?
Are these people a bit thick, or what? Or is it me? Am I not sufficiently au fait with what is involved in a diss track?
It is not you. It is all very weird. Adam Whateverhisnameis has been behaving rather oddly for a while now. This perhaps may be normal for him but all very odd.
Good points Sixer, but perhaps in this situation it is partly that Harris is not just trying to hurt Taylor with a diss track in a business-as-usual way, but to diss her reputation as the victim in all things. Not ‘slut-shaming’ (as she always says everyone is doing if they question or make a remark about/on her actions) but putting enough doubt out there that people begin to wonder if she really is a mean girl in sheep’s clothing, as Katy Perry said.
I’d agree with Kita. What he is doing is just a bit more sly than the usual break up song. He wants to sow doubt about her integrity. It would be very hard for her to follow up with her usual break up song after this.
That is what I think is the intent, anyway. Hopeless immature? I think every player in this drama, including LEGS, fits that bill.
Right. So it’s an Adam Is The Chess Player Of Diss diss track?
Ok. Not entirely convinced. I need to get it properly or I can’t poke fun at it!
He is dissing her, but indirectly. As others said, he’s attacking her goody two shoes reputation, not actually her. What’s she going to write about now? “Nuh uh, I didn’t cheat on you”? Actually never mind, she probably will.
Anyway, he’s using the song to flat out accuse her of cheating, which is most definitely a new thing for her. She’s been called immature, petty, moves too fast, stalker whatever for years, but never a cheater. Her image is the hopeless romantic who pines for her man and perhaps does desperate things to keep his love. She’s the one who gets hurt, not the one who does the hurting. She’s the one who gets left (because she’s just so sweet and can’t help falling for these jerks who treat her badly), not the one who leaves.
I think what Calvin Harris is trying to do, albeit in the most high school way possible, is turn the story around and show her in a much different light. She’s always painted herself as the picture of devotion, and he’s trying to cast doubt on that image.
But I still don’t understand how pretending to be LEGS singing about her rather than being himself singing about her is a good or sneaky plan?
I’m going to inhabit the body of my supplanter and pretend to be him?
This, to me, is most peculiar.
Oh, hang on. The implication being that she cheated for ages with LEGS before they broke up?
I imagine yes, the overlap he’s claiming was significant. By putting in “Tom’s” perspective, there’s a narrative angle that isn’t available if he’s singing as the oblivious, in the dark boyfriend. By being the “other man” he can narrate events as they unfolded, all the little devious slights and subterfuges. If he’s himself, it would all be retrospect, because he would only learn about it, and maybe only guess about it, much later. As “Tom”, he can state definitively that this happened, and this is how it happened, because he was “there”. It’s actually quite subtle for something so immature.
I’m with it now!
Calvin is the bunny boiler of dissers!
@Sixer
You are on the money!!
Ha.
If Taylor cheated and was on the DL with Tom for months, then, she’s a giant B and she deserves this song. If the roles were reversed people would be crucifying Calvin. I’m still not really sure why Taylor gets a huge pass. All of this seems shady and hurtful.
Agree, and hope it’s a hit. Calvin can write some decent songs.
Considering the great public love tour of the last three weeks – complete with parental introduction – I think it’s safe to believe Swiddleston has been going on longer than advertised.
Is any of this really surprising?
Looking forward to hearing the track. You reap what you sow!
Cheating is not kindness, Tom.
That song is embarrassing. My God…
And Calvin said he was done talking about it and over it and moving on and doesn’t care anymore. Oh Calvin.
Turning it into work was probably cathartic.
What is good for the goose…
Indeed. It’s shame they broke up. They seem better suited in some ways.
From someone who made sure the world to know he dumped her for a lot of reasons, He sure is salty now. Lol. I’m more embarrassed for him – making sure the world don’t forget about him too. Is he missing the attention he used to get when he was faking it with her too? Lol.
Wow, he has straight up has lost his mind. The Instagramming being with a group of random girls, etc, now this? The former is typical bro garbage, but this is beyond the pale.
He was in mexico shooting a video, those girls were in his video. I find it funny how people don’t realise hes doing business more than anything. Releasing this song now when the T&T tabloid hysteria is at its height means more streams and more money in Calvins bank account.
Talk about over reaction. You want to talk about the ridiculous use of IG? TS could teach a class. As Mira says, he was working with those girls.
I think Calvin saying that Tom is under Taylor’s spell, and he has no animus towards him, is remarkably similar to what Taylor said about Kim Kardashian over the recent Kanye tiff, i.e. “Taylor knows it’s not really Kim’s fault, she’s under a lot of pressure and is trying to be a good wife.” There’s a plan underscoring this narrative.
I completely agree that Styles handled the Taylor-situation well, and her actions contrasted with his are part of why I have been side-eyeing her rep as the nicest-nice-nice girl who, if she has that much of her shizz showing in public in a vendetta over a 3 month relationship, must really be hell behind the scenes.
But — Styles was only with her a short while, and Calvin was with her for 15 months. We don’t and won’t know everything, but I think it’s not right to simply say Harris has no chill here. This is more involved, and there are deep machinations going on in the public on both sides. We may yet find out a lot of interesting stuff here, and not just about them, but about modern media domination and manipulation escaping into public view more thoroughly. This is going to continue to be quite a story on all fronts. The public and media are not holding back on their opinions, so we may get some surprising input from other famous people who feel burned by her, or …. who knows.
As Kaiser said in another Tiddles article today, Swift has “Machiavellian levels of image-control.” Maybe what all these people are doing is trying to trip up the machine long enough for people to really see what’s behind the curtain in this respect. Because that would be more satisfying in terms of pissing her off, coming from people who are mad for whatever reason (Harris, Kanye, Kim, whomever).
Diss tracks are hilarious if written well. This is not a well-written song, based on the excerpts…
Yeah, this is no Cry Me a River. Is the title “Ole” as in slang for “old?” Or “Ole'” with the accent? I don’t get it.
Apparently this is the song that he and John Newman have been teasing for ages. So either Calvin Wiles Adam Harris is a prophet, or he is just using the situation for publicity
Yes! Wasn’t this song planned long before the breakup? Calvin’s PR at work?
Don’t care enough to watch Calvin’s video. Two truly boring people with attendant boring “drama”.
So if this is true then Tiddles have been together a lot longer than 3 weeks and all of the comments about the fakeness of being head over heels in that short a time are wrong.
I don’t know, could have been a love at first sight thing and she was still with Calvin. It happens. We don’t know that they weren’t having problems, or that Taylor wasn’t having second thoughts. Then she meets someone she really falls for and it’s really hard to extricate yourself from the first relationship at that point. I’ve always been the type who would rather be broken up with than have to initiate the breakup. I tend to give the benefit of the doubt to people.
You’re right. They’re not fake, they’re cheaters. So much better.
Ladyloo I’m starting to suspect you’re Katy Perry! I like Taylor Swift, I find her inoffensive. Sorry if that’s not in your pre-approved comments to make, but too bad.
Weren’t there rumors about him and EO Hiddlesbanging during ISTL filming while she was still engaged? And now rumors about him and Tay Tay before her breakup with Calvin? No way to know if any of it is true, but If it is, there does seem to be a pattern.
JHK yes there was. Gentleman Tom Hiddelston is a homewrecker (allegedly 😉 )
The messiness that is Hiddleswift is what convinces me this really ISN’T a publicity stunt. Because it is messy. It would appear she at least had feelings for him while she was still with Calvin, even if she didn’t act on them. My guess is exactly that—either she and Calvin were on the rocks, or maybe even already split up at the time she met Tom, and felt like she had to act on it right away because of some undeniable attraction. Unless there’s really something there, the backlash from the sketchy timeline wouldn’t be worth it.
Yep KC, I agree. And even if there were furtive phone calls, that doesn’t mean she slept with Hiddles before ending it with Harris. Doesn’t mean she didn’t. We don’t know either way. I’m not going to pretend I do.
Yup they totally have been hooking up since the Met Gala IMO.
@Luca76, I think this all started back at the Met Gala too. Maybe she didn’t cheat at all and waited until the relationship was over, maybe she didn’t.
@KC- I have to agree that this isn’t a publicity stunt because it’s messy and Taylor was forced to reveal this relationship earlier, either due to Kim Kardashian GQ article, Kayne West or there was evidence this relationship started at the Met Gala… my best guess & it’s because the one with 4 names keeps running to TMZ is that this definitely started earlier than June 15.
@Noname — Absolutely. I mean, we’ve KNOWN about them for three weeks, but obviously there were communications before R.I. rock day. Probably a lot of communication, actually, because going public in that way is a pretty big deal for someone as famous as Taylor. And that’s why all of this is so weird and seemingly abrupt and all a bit sketchy. I don’t think their actual relationship is nearly as suspect as other people do—I think the events surrounding how they got together are where things get a little weird, and that’s where all these strange vibes are coming from.
@supposedtobeworking — I’ve read similar theories, and I think it’s spot on. I think they were planning to announce their break-up at an “appropriate” time (whenever that was), but then the video of them dancing at the Gala went viral (which was harmless, but definitely showed there was something between them). Then CH’s car crash happened—seemed like something was definitely being covered up there. Things started to unravel, and they couldn’t go with their original narrative as to why they broke up anymore.
@KC, the narratives people are putting forth on this make me laugh. It is well documented that within 36 hours of the start of the MET gala, the start, not the end, Tom was in a classroom in London with a government official and a bunch of kids working on a UNICEF project. Between that day and the day he arrived in Philadelphia for Wizard World, it has been documented, either through interviews on radio or television or in the newspapers like The Guardian and others for UNICEF, the new BFI building, ISTL and The Night Manager and High-Rise, and appearances at the BAFTAS or 500 Words or the trio of The Fail/The Sun/The Mirror stalking him running, eating dinner at the Ivy, or breakfast with the JArthy, and two appearances with That Camilla, that he was in London every day. Checking through the archives here for May and early June pretty much confirms that. Nothing puts Taylor anywhere near England during that time but yet people are insistent that they were somehow hooking up during that time. Nothing will dissuade them. People will believe what they want to believe.
Tara, I can’t see that they’ve been physically together more than 3 weeks, since he was spotted in NY on June 10, as he was in London before that for most of May. They may have hooked up on his trip to the US the week before, either in LA or Philadelphia.
That doesn’t mean they weren’t phoning or texting each other when she was still with Calvin.
Throwing another rumour into the mix – T and C broke up before the car accident, but he was caught in a situation with another girl present. It changed the narrative and the extrication plan. Maybe T and T were together earlier, but Calvin and Taylor were done earlier. Making this public would show too much of the behind the scenes of celebrity image creation, so they all have to deal with the ambiguity.
Battle of the 12 year old songwriters. T-Swizzle versus Adam Calvin Harris. Y’all Taylor is going to love this, nothing inspires her more than playing the victim! Will Calvin dethrone Katy Perry for public enemy #1?
Harry’s song is the Perfect response – and I don’t even like One Direction! Excerpt:
“And if you like cameras flashing every time we go out,
Oh, yeah
And if you’re looking for someone to write your break-up songs about
Baby, I’m perfect
Baby, we’re perfect
If you like causing trouble up in hotel rooms
And if you like having secret little rendezvous
If you like to do the things you know that we shouldn’t do
Then baby, I’m perfect
Baby, I’m perfect for you
And if you like midnight driving with the windows down
And if you like going places we can’t even pronounce
If you like to do whatever you’ve been dreaming about
Then baby, you’re perfect
Baby, you’re perfect
So let’s start right now”
That’s so strange, I had to google it to see if it was real, and it was!
Perfect.
Okay? Taylor is milking it for all it’s worth why can’t Calvin?
hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha *gasp* hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha
Agree. HahahahHahahahahahahaha !!! Thus is some funny stuff! Where is SNL? Tina Fey we need your input asap
I’ve no problem with him writing a song about her.She does it every time.
Why is he supposed to “chill” and “handle it like a boss”?
Exactly. She does this every time one of her relationships goes south. About time she has a taste of her own medicine.
She already got her medicine at least twice. Both John Mayer and Harry Styles wrote songs inspired by her. Neither of them were particularly mean about it, though.
One direction did write a song years later perfect? I think it was called? Someone help me out.
Yes. That’s the one. Interestingly, I think there were some sly digs at her, but nothing accusing her of hurting anyone. More like a “if you want to use me for attention, that’s cool, I don’t care” kind of message which I find kind of hilarious.
I don’t care for either of these people, but what’s up with the double standards?
Why is Calvin supposed to get over it?
So what if he’s being petty, Taylor is known for being petty.
They were together 18 months, maybe he is hurt by their relationship ending.
I seriously doubt he cares that much, in my opinion.
I honestly think he is doing what Taylor and Tom are doing.
Famewh0ring.
When he makes a song, it’s immature or he has less “class” then someone.
People write whole albums about break ups and how they affect them.
So what?
If he wants to do this, then let him do it. They can handle their break up however they want, there is no right way.
Well, it was him who broke up with her, not the other way around, at least that’s what he claimed before all this, and now he has a hurt pride because she didn’t write an album about how he broke her heart but moved to another man instead. Which DOES put his mentality on the level of proverbial teenage girls.
For the record, I think her break-up songs are just as juvenille. But she doesn’t get a pass here, so he shouldn’t either.
someone make a movie about this trio already. I am waiting with my popcornss and 3d glasses. B-)
#TeamCalvin
#TeamGossip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I read somewhere that an NDA (because it’s not far fetched to think Taylor has them with her boyfriend’s) would not extend to Tom, so he’s fair game. I won’t slut shame Taylor for dating different men, but putting her exes on blast like she has is bound to come back at her and put a dent in this cookie cutter image she’s built. This might not end well…
Oh brother. Calvin should chill? Isn’t dating every guy and writing songs about them Taylor’s entire existence? He’s giving her a taste of her own medicine. I hope his song hits #1 and gets played all over every main radio station 800 times a day, just to remind her that she’s a jerk. If you can’t take it, don’t dish it. Team Calvin.
I mean, as far as I know, Harry is quite known for being the type of person who never has a bad word to say about anyone, so it’s not hard for me to believe he may be more mature than Calvin.
But the thing is Harry DID write about Taylor. The song perfect is about Taylor.He was with her for 2 months Calvin was with her for 15. I would expect Calvin to have more emotions regarding a break up.
He is entitled to write a song about it she is not the only who always shame other people she broke up in her song I will say go for it
I’m a little ashamed to admit this- but I work with a Millennial who lurves Harry Styles and Taylor. Apparently the 1D song “Perfect” has a reference to Taylor:
“And if you like cameras flashing every time we go out,
Oh, yeah
And if you’re looking for someone to write your break-up songs about
Baby, I’m perfect
Baby, we’re perfect”
Not a mean swipe at her, but clearly a jab.
She deserves it honestly. Also Tom approached his girl so Tom’s a douche too.
No one comes out of this smelling of roses!! Not even TS and her crazy media machine.
Someone explain to me what he’s saying in each set of lyrics and who is saying the lyrics and who is it directed to?. I felt like he was talking to Taylor and then talking to Hiddles. So how is it from HIddles’ perspective? I’m confused.
This is all Tom talking to Taylor:
“I see online that you begun to be a good girl and take trips with your boyfriend. Being attentive, continue to pretend …” – Taylor’s already begun an affair with Tom at this point, but she’s still with Calvin and pretending to be an attentive girlfriend.
“You’ve hidden my name in your phone so you can call me to tell me you’ve been going through hell. Left him alone and you booked in a hotel.” – she has Tom’s phone number in her phone and makes secret phone calls to him. She’s alone in a hotel room, away from Calvin.
“Low key you won’t tell none of your friends about me.” – Taylor hasn’t told anyone that she’s entangled with Tom.
Thanks.
I can run with that story, it’s very possible she had an intstant connection with Tom at the Met gala, he was apparently following her around all night and I can totally believe she and Tom were in contact after that video went viral whether innocently or flirtily. Its plausible Calvin was not giving her what she craved (adoration?) so she was discussing her woes. She was still apparently serious with Calvin when the Met Gala happened so wouldn’t you be suspicious if the minute the relationship ends your ex is displaying true love with someone, especially if she had assured him it was just fun. Maybe her friends reassured him she was true to him?
Who knows if there was cheating, maybe Calvin doesn’t but those lyrics and that deleted message about it all being about to go down has more meaning if he had figured out she had more than just her eye on someone before they officially called time. Perhaps I’m reaching but my head likes to analyse and make sense of things.
If Tom was the cause of the break up or there was mild overlap it would explain him going overboard and sticking to her like glue to support her through these tough times, taking the flack and being full public, especially if Taylor knew Calvin was suspicious. I am reminded of the talk about Lizzie Olsen’s break up before their names were associated.
It may be unchivalrous to leak to the media that this is about your ex but writing the song is his prerogative, he is in the business of selling music and don’t most songwriters use their own experiences to put into lyrics?
@Understudy, I like your thinking. Calvin is free to do his own thing by releasing this song. Whatever. It’s what musicians have done since the beginning of time.
I think TayTay was a secret Hiddlestoner before the Met Gala, and when they finally met, there was an instant connection, as you say. I also think that she was emotionally primed for Tom in that things were already winding down with Calvin and they both weren’t getting what they needed from the relationship. Is that cheating? I don’t think so. The timing wasn’t all that gracious, but with the media blitz (which was partly planned and then it snowballed beyond control), she also managed to clobber the narrative his camp was throwing out there that she was clingy, needy and that he was the one to dump her. I think she’s as smart as a whip in real-life ways, even if she’s not necessarily book smart and intellectual like Tom, but I still see her having more to talk about with Tom than she ever did with Calvin Adams, who seems like such a brodude.
He is just mad he isnt going to rate a song, since she got over him so quickly. So fix that.
How many stories per day does Cb have to post about Tiddles? Really? I’m sorry but rather boring, IMOO it appears.
=(
I know. Why can’t Rihanna marry Eminem or something?
No, she needs to marry Drake, clearly! Or maybe Leo. Hahaha @ Rihanna + Leo.
Drake
He may indeed be immature, but is it possible Calvin really cared about her but wasn’t ready for marriage, she screwed him over and he’s hurt by her obvious attempt to get back at him? Hence her obnoxious smirking in the pap photos?
Just a thought.
I haven’t listened to any of Taylor’s music, so I’m less annoyed by her than most people. I will say I think Calvin looks tweenangsty in comparison due to 4 things:
1) He (sources) released info that he broke up with Taylor because CLINGY.
2) When she debuted Twiddlesshagging Tour 2016, he changed the narrative to THAT SCHEMING TWO-TIMING BITCH.
3) Her camp has said very little about him. She’s actually choosing the opposite of the victim route this time, aka living well is the best revenge. This campy love affair trumps Calvin and Kanye’s ongoing tantrums about her.
4) She was in her teens and twenties writing songs about breakups. He’s in his 30s. It’s just not a good look for him. Hopefully she turns her debatable talents away from dis tracks as well.
I don’t condone cheating at all, but IMO we don’t know that she did. Anyway Calvin said he ended it because she was boring and wanted more of a relationship than he did. That, followed by his current narrative, makes him look immature and petulant.
How dare you make sense! It’s open season on Taylor (and Hiddles by extension) dontcha know?
Yeah, not buying his “wah she cheated!” line. Not when he was putting it out there that he broke it off because he was tired of her.
I recall “sources” close to Calvin stating “she wasn’t his type.” “They were more like friends”. “He (Calvin) was bored with Taylor”.
No wonder Tay was attracted to Tom-he said in an interview that she was “amazing”.
Calvin always acted as if he was too cool for Taylor. Now Calvin is acting like a victim because Tay looks healthy and loved by classy (perhaps exhausted) Hiddles.
Don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone.
Adam Calvincoolidgewhatshisname also wrote this song months ago apparently, back when they were still together
you can write a song but not the lyrics
From what I’m reading, the lyrics were written months ago.
Yeah it boils down to money…I think he is pissed he didn’t lock it down. He probably misses all the perks.
Calvin Harris is listed on net worth sites as worth $110 million. He’s obviously doing just fine. As a single guy who doesn’t seem to be too extravagant, how much more money or perks do you need? He’s wealthy.
oh ya he does.
Forbes has him listed as the highest payed DJ. He made $66 million last year. I know it’s not TS money, but he’s by no means missing out on perks in life.
I think he’s pissed off she’s not crying over him. He is just as replacable as any other guy.
I love how first he was the one that broke up with her, and he tweeted that they still respected each other, blah blah.
Then she’s spotted with Tom Hiddleston and all of a suden, bam! Mass purge and unfollowing on social media, and a new twist, “She dumped me!”
Now it’s not just that she broke up with him, but she was cheating too!
Please. Harry Styles, who is all of 22, is classier than Calvin. Which says a lot about Calvin.
Obviously she tricked him to break up but now he knows the truth why she did this.
you can’t make someone break up with you. he clearly said Taylor was not his type, wasn’t sexy and was too clingy. now adam many names is heartbroken because she cheated. he should have picked a story that he was going to stick to.
This. He is ridiculously inconsistent, Butthurt Calvin is butthurt.
He said on insta he didn’t break up with her. If I saw viral videos of my boyfriend dancing and partying with some girl and then two weeks later he dumps me and then two weeks after THAT goes on a PR world tour where he was flaunting his new relationship with said girl I would NOT be getting over it very quickly, and nor would most ppl. She’s being incredibly insensitive to the point where it looks vindictive.
When they split (before Hiddles news), it was said he ended it. He was fine with that narrative until now when she moved on. So yes, he’s inconsistent. And has a wounded ego.
As for how quickly people get over … There’s a difference between being hurt and doing public laundry, as we say here. A similar situation between non-famous people is when two people break up and then they both (or just the hurt party) try to convince all their mutual friends that the other one is evil. I hate that sort of drama in my real life (it’s your own business why you split, you’re both my friends, stop dragging me into your war) and have never done it myself. If I was hurt, only my closest friends were told, not all our mutual acquaintances.
Celebrities do the same thing, just with strangers over the media, because it makes a good story. And I think it’s silly (from both her and him in this case). But to me he’s the one being vindictive.
@Musiclover, his people also released a statement that those comments on Instagram were not from him.
She stopped being responsible for his feelings after he broke up with her. It sucks when your ex moves on, but you don’t have the right to dictate the terms of their rebounding or change the narrative to make yourself look better. She hasn’t released any negative comments about him in the aftermath – in fact, the breakup was supposedly amicable UNTIL she came out with Tiddles. It’s not her job to baby his ego post-breakup.
I’ve been in Calvin’s shoes and let me just say I completely understand. I dated my 2nd boyfriend over 2 years and at about the 1.5 month mark he moved from our college to being back at the local CC. We were still together but he started to stop coming over to see me and if I wanted to hang out he’d come up with excuses or reasons why he was busy. At the 2 year mark he broke it off saying it was over. I was super sad but what could I do? The next day after our breakup (I kidd you not) he posted a picture on fb with a girl and it turned out to be his new gf. Apparently they’d be dating for 6 months and it was “true love.” She knew nothing if me and thought we had broken up 6 months prior and that we were just friends . I felt so humiliated and betrayed. So yeah, in the end I understand where Calvin is coming from in terms of Taylor Swift and his feelings of revenge.
Even if he broke up with her I bet it was because she became distant and less willingly to work on the relationship. Similar to what happened to me. It’s just a tactic people use to get someone to break up with them. #teamcalvin
Plus I love Calvin’s music so I’m sure this new track will be fire!!
Sorry for the long post lol I’m new to celebitchy
Sorry to hear that andie88.I haven’t had the experience have no idea how I would react, so am not gonna judge. It’s weird how everyone is siding with the cheater in this break up. I bet if that was Calvin out there on a pap tour with a new love it be different. Jmo.
Thanks Kate. It was pretty painful but I eventually moved on and in the end my ex did the same thing to her… he’s now still single at 29 so karma got him lol
I agree if Calvin did what she did to him ie date someone new within 2 weeks everyone would be calling him out.
Drag her Calvin. Call her out.
Tomorrow is going to be hilarious if the lyrics call her out.
I’m not surprised by Calvin tbh. Remember when him and Rita Ora split and he banned her from performing songs they’d worked on together? He’s not good with breakups!
I still don’t totally believe TS & TH are 100% legit, they’re not ones for being so public, particularly TH. I don’t think they’re doing it for publicity either mind you as they don’t need that but the whole creating a video thing sounds very feasible!
Time will tell!
Agree. Rita cheated on him, he alleges Taylor did too.I have to say if your partner cheats your allowed to get mad. It’s been a month. If he is still whinging years later like Anniston and Taylor then he’s definetly not good at break ups.
I would actually die happy if he becomes the one guy Taylor does is NOT write a song about. Not one word, lyric, tune. Zip, nada. The perfect shade because it’s the absence of significance. Because…can you imagine? The impotent rage on his end, thinking he’d beat her to the punch and she doesn’t even spare him a backwards punch. I’m actually getting kind of excited for her record now.
But then whatever would she write about? All she does is write about her relationships – usually in a negative way. She’s the very definition of one-note.
Has she ever had an amicable break up? She’s starting to come across as not well liked in her industry.
Shes been feuding with Katy, Kanye and Kim and I know Harris isn’t popular here but he’s a huge music producer.
Kesha and Ed Sheeran were at her 4th of July party. She’s friends with Selena Gomez. Some of the people who’ve worked with her on her albums have complimentary things to say about her.
They would…because they don’t want to get blacklisted by her.
She’s a mean girl – always has been, always will be. Pretends to be otherwise, but her mask seems to be slipping of late.
In junior high we used to have a word for guys like Calvin: doofus. If he’s less emotionally mature than Harry Styles, boy-bander, then Calvin has a problem. I liked Calvin for Taylor, but now that it’s over, I do want him to go away. He’s just pissed the central narrative will never be about him, egotist that he is. He IS a peripheral character, always will be, and that’s not Taylor’s fault. He’s fabulously lucky making all that money being a DJ (and I still don’t have a clear idea of what that is). Crybaby doesn’t look good on him. Put on your big boy pants, Calvin. Suck it up and shut up.
Just because you dislike him doesn’t make this sentence true.
“He IS a peripheral character” – He’s the highest earning dj – producer on the planet for the third year running. He has been infinitely more successful in his chosen profession than hiddleston is. Hes not from a wealthy family, he’s not been handed anything for free. You can dislike his character, but you can’t dismiss his achievements.
Laura, thank you.
jferber, ‘I don’t know what a DJ is?’ What? Is Tayto cheated on Calvin, he has every right NOT to shut up and suck it up. He does have a right to have his side of the story told.
I agree, he might be successful at whatever it is that he supposedly does but clearly he has serious issues dealing with not being the centre of attention.
Hmmm, who else besides Calvin can’t deal with being the center of attention? Anyone else competing for top honors in being overly desperate and attention seeking — TS? TH? There’s three rings in this circus!!!
HAHAHAHA!! Oh my god. Calvin IS Taylor’s other half! Too perfect. “Low-Key” lolol. Calvin will be rolling out a new album called “Strawberry Jamz” a la Beyonce where he will chronicle the stages of their LURRRRVE whilst standing at a DJ deck and loudly declaiming from a Trapper Keeper full of his Thoughts. I can’t wait. Ooooh, TayTom has been served. Time for the worst dance battle mankind has ever seen.!!!
@kri: I’m devoted to all of those wonderful scenarios and would so pay to see the trapper keeper performance of Strawberry Jamz!!
Tim sings pretty badly and I don’t know if he can write poems/lyrics but he dances like Godzilla! Maybe he will do the post- breakup dance or something? Polka? Break-dance?
Who is Tim?
Justin Timberlakes cry me a river is about britney cheating on him isn’t it? Isn’t this quite common for a songwriter? Not sure what the outrage is about? Is it because he’s a guy?
What a timeless song. Awesome video. Calvin needs to up his pettiness game.
Hah! This just keeps getting better and better. Calvin will be laughing all the way to the bank $$$ as Tommy-Anne helps TS spend her $250M flying him around to her mansions on her private jet. Now if only Calvin could hook up with Boyd Holbrook — Elizabeth Olsen’s finance who got dumped via a phone call because she and Hiddles were reportedly hooking up when they were making ISTL — and put him in the music video! After that, Calvin should get Jane Arthy — to rep him and promote the song and video! She is after all, a music promoter and PR. That tune would get even more airplay, LOL!
srsly tho the conspiracy theories (that it’s about bond or that it’s about calvin whatever doing something shady or that it’s about kanye’s vid) were fun, but imo it looks now that taylor just wanted to cover up her cheating and protect her brand. that’s why the narrative isn’t “taylor’s new man” and it’s “taylor’s in love and she’s met the parents and omg fairytale romance”. so the public/media focus on their, love; and not on how they got together.
Of course Calvin knows how obsessed she’s with her image, so he’s gonna drag her as long as he can coz he knows the thing she cares about the most is her perfect nice girl next door image,
Exs stadium tour. Yes!!
Great idea, Evie! I would pay to see that video!!!
#TeamCalvin
“How is that Harry Styles has more grace and class than Calvin Harris? I don’t know.”
By having Simon Cowell coaching him within an inch of his life.
No one keeps the brand on-message quite as ruthlessly as Simon Cowell does. Harry might be a classy Brit all on his own, but there was a master of spin-doctoring mentoring him, too.
Spot on! Harry and the boys were coached within an inch or their life, zayn confirmed this.
Most normal people won’t grasp that celebrities like Taylor will do almost anything to protect their brand. Since most ppl spent a lot of our time laughing at the stupid tattoo or their “whirlwind” romance shows that the narrative they wanted to display is working. We don’t talk about the cheating allegations. It shows how shrewd Taylor’s team is. Calvin prolly has a hurt ego but imao he wants to expose her fake image as well. From the new boyfriends pov it’s interesting, coz his image was English gentleman. Fairy tale romance knight in shining armour suits his brand better than cheating on the down low even if it’s all so sickening sweet. You can already see how some of his previous sceptical stans are coming around to the idea that it’s true love. Gotta give it to Taylor’s team.
Except Harry Styles did get a little dramatic and wrote “Perfect” about her which is almost an exact melodic copy of “Styles”. “If you’re looking for someone to write your break-up songs about…”
You can literally sing Styles lyrics over Perfect and it matches.. perfectly. He may have dumped her but he was in his feelings about it.
the song is just called “Style” btw
Douche face is a douche.
Why does Calvin have more credibility than Taylor when he’s the one who switched narratives (from “she was too clingy” to “she cheated”)? I find it very plausible that they were already at the very end of their relationship when Tom entered the picture. Maybe he and Taylor made an immediate emotional connection but nothing physical happened until the previous relationship was over.
I don’t think anyone actually know for sure who switched narrative here. Its all coming from “sources”. If we believe Calvin, Taylor manipulated the media to her advantaged and he never left her. Its hard to tell who is telling the truth.
We don’t know whose telling the truth, buuuut…it’s very interesting that he wasn’t acting like this when the narrative favored him breaking up with her. He only started being petty when she rebounded with Tom.
The lyric about taking a trip and being attentive – Taylor went on a trip with Calvin, posted pics, and waxed poetic about their relationship in April. I think Calvin is pointing out this predates the Met gala. They probably used that event to set the stage. There were questions about her relationship with Calvin and reports he was jealous. After a few weeks, we were probably supposed to hear officially that they had drifted apart and were calling it quits, while “sources” told tabloids she couldn’t deal with his jealousy. Then a few more weeks, she and Tom “start” dating. Calvins accident pushed the timeline back, and their unveiling looks rushed.
You just know Tay was ticked off when he was in that accident – threw her plan right off.
Aaaannnnd…. TommyAnne began following her on Twitter in March. So maybe there was an earlier connection? Just saying.
This guy is a loser. The best revenge is not giving a shit. He shouldn’t respond to anything she does. Don’t respond to TMZ reporters, don’t post on social media, don’t write songs. You’re done and you’ve moved on.
No, the best revenge is writing a song that embarrasses the cheaters and makes you a shed load.
THIS!!! 👍 Thank you ladyloo!
I think all breakup songs should be written from the perspective of the jump off’s cat. That’d be way cooler.
👍🏻
Team Calvin on this one. Never thought I would be so bored of Tom. A little went a long way.
That Aloha shirt he’s wearing paired with those long bermuda shorts make his torso look about 10 miles long and his legs like stumps.
That’s all I got.
Because 1. Harry has class 2. Harry fake dated her & knew what she was going to do after they “broke up”
What a loser
