I’ve see some people suggest that following The Great Tiddlesplit of 2015, Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris will somehow end up back together. While I’ve learned to never say never when it comes to Snake Emojis, I doubt it. Calvin Harris/Adam Wiles seems relieved to be out of the Tay-Tay hurricane, and he got out just in time. In fact, I would say that he’s looking even better these days following the Tiddlesplit Heard ‘Round The World, which followed The Glorious Tiddlebanging: A World-Wide Adventure. Everyone is reevaluating Taylor’s 15-month long relationship with Calvin and how low-key it was. When there was drama, it came at the end when Tay-Tay assumed the victim position and tried to make it sound like Big, Bad Calvin was a giant meanie and that’s why she had to throw herself into the arms of a dragonfly. So now that Calvin has been partially or completely vindicated, how does he feel? E! News has a source. A chatty, gossipy source.
On his rumored girlfriends/sex partners: “Adam is single. He is dating a few different women. Nothing has stuck. He is not looking for a relationship at all, just fun times with friends,” the source tells us exclusively. “Adam is in a much better place after the breakup with Taylor.”
What he thinks of the Tiddlesplit: “Adam is not surprised that the relationship did not work with Tom and Taylor. He is just happy to not be in the relationship anymore and realized they were not a good fit in the end, but he wishes her the best!”
The source is very cautious, yes? “Adam is not surprised that the relationship did not work with Tom and Taylor.” Again, no one was surprised that Tiddles didn’t last forever (or longer than four months). “He is just happy to not be in the relationship anymore…” Ha, that’s not surprising either. All of Taylor’s ex-boyfriends come out of the relationships looking like they just got out of prison.
Also: The Sun is trying to make it sound like Calvin is secretly dating the now-single Jennifer Lopez. While I think that would be a fun couple, I don’t think it’s happening. I think they’re just working together.
Incidentally, you know how Taylor posted an Instagram video of herself singing “This Is What You Came For”? Calvin “liked” it. Peace in our time. Maybe the new album will mostly be about Tom Hiddleston and receipts.

I think he is very happy because, after a brief flurry of negativity directed towards him at the outset, he seems to be the one who has emerged from this summer the, the, the… I was going to say the most unscathed, but that sounds a tad generous, so I’m going to say the least scathed instead.
Can you say least scathed? I don’t care. I’m saying it anyway.
However, he is still a niddly pants, as Sixlet Minor would say.
I think “least scathed” works or you could go with “the lesser scathed of”… both of which he most certainly is.
Although, just read he’s released a new song “My Way” which most seem to reckon is a lyrical shade on Taylor. I’ve yet to listen to it, but the lyrics I have read do seem a touch autobiographically scathing.
/may add it to my Big Baking Day playlist.
It certainly seems as though those who end a contract with Swift appear to experience a sense of release and relief.
Not much of a lyricist, is he?
Going to make a point of listening to it later – I’ve liked a couple of his earlier tracks although I often muddle him with Example.
I don’t think he’ll be competing with Scotland’s national poet, Robert Burns, when it comes to beautiful and meaningful use of words. They both hail from the same neck of the woods iirc.
Somehow I doubt Scotland will ever celebrate ‘Adam Eppie Calvin Nuke Lalouches Harris Wilkes’ Day’ as we do with RB – Burns’ lyrical legacy is safe.
I do, however, want the Scottish Parliament to legislate for the introduction of a ‘Sir Niddly Pants of the Least Scathed Day’ where we can nominate a Scottish politician each year to ‘celebrate’ – one who has made it out of a tricky omnishambles or had a near escape on their Social Media-ing. My MP would never be ‘celebrated’ nor my MSP for that matter, but I can think of a long list worthy already.
/’Lady Niddly Pants’ would have to be an option too for the purposes of Award Day equality.
I encourage you to contact the Scottish Parliament on this most important issue immediately after you finish baking.
relatively unscathed?
Least scathed but likely because nobody really cares all that much about him. Definitely a niddly pants. And not getting that their relationship was so quiet, private or low-key. I never followed her and had no clue who he was but the image of him riding a giant inflatable swan has been seared into my mind for over a year and that wouldn’t be if they were oh so very low-key and private.
So, yes, Adam Eppie Calvin Nuke Lalouches Harris Wilkes or simply, Sir Niddly Pants of the Least Scathed.
“because nobody really cares all that much about him”
Not true at all. He’s massively successful. The highest earning DJ/producer around.
I gather he is a much bigger celebrity in Europe than here in the States. I mean, he was successful in his own right, making 60 mill in 2014.
I do think their relationship was more low key — by his insistence. There are way more pictures of Tiddles in the first 3 weeks of their relationship than you have of Tayvin in the 15 months from the publicized start – finish.
That swan floatie pic is Ebby Calvin’s couch jumping moment, just like the t-shirt is Hiddles. She likes to make her men look silly for the world, doesn’t she??
He’s the biggest dj producer in America too. Topped Forbes list 3 years in row I think.
“niddly pants” has been added to my vocabulary.
Screw swans. I have a (horrific) picture of my husband riding a giant inflatable dolphin that someone at the place we staying left behind. No way was I getting on that thing with him and we’ve been married for 13 years.
I am having a “dealing with apples” day, Dippit. Well, afternoon, cos I actually worked hard this morning. Also, Mr Sixer has returned from Spain. He keeps TALKING TO ME. I thought I was missing him but have decided it was a momentary lapse into soppiness on my part.
I think Sir Niddly Pants of the Least Scathed should be his name henceforth. I like that.
I do think he is chalking this summer up as a win. LEGS is probably calling it a score draw – mockery, yes, but main aim of heightened name recognition achieved. The biggest loser does seem to be la Swift.
I will be bagging apples, pears, and plums from the garden for my sis to sell at her Brownies Coffee Morn t’moro. The only fruit I’m baking with are rasps – Raspberry Bakewells in the oven as we speak.
My hubs was out golfing but has now returned to hang about being unhelpful. It’ll be nice to have Mr Sixer back though… really.
I think, although he may yet be a presence (wanted or unwanted) in TayTay’s life, he’s mightily relieved to be out (and somewhat vindicated with all of TS’s other goings on this Summer) and that another poor sucker had to take the worst of the flak (both from within the contract, and from outwith).
Mr Sixer is doing exactly this. I know his thought process is good: “I left Sixer to do the first week back at school, work, run the house, cope with the allotment harvest, yadda yadda, all by herself. So now I’m back, I will help.” But the problem is that I have it all in hand and organised. So all his interventions – and all his chatting about the interventions he’s doing – are not helping; they are hindering my master plan of super-organisation. Gah! He’s even interrupting my Paralympics break!
Yes. If I were Sir Niddly Pants of the Least Scathed, I would be quietly satisfied with the way it’s all turned out.
“Sir Niddly Pants of the Least Scathed” is a most excellent moniker. I do hope he gets his special day in Scotland.
Sixer, I agree he must be breathing a sigh of relief that he disembarked off the Taytanic before it hit the Tiddleburg. I think calling Tom’s experience a draw may be a bit of a fantasy of his own making though. More press in the short term, but long-term legacy and effect still in question.
Tay certainly had the worst summer of them all and will have the most difficulty convincing the world that shes not what the press and commenters have mase her out to be — a two-faced, backstabbing, heartless snake dressed up as the lily white innocent do-gooder.
Bonzo – I think score draw if the theatre announcement hurries up. If not, you could be right.
Back together by Christmas. They deserve one another.
Oh God I do hope not!
Some people are just not good for each other. Why get back with someone who dropped you for something newer and shinier? Fool me once, shame on you…….fool me twice….
Because they are both obnoxious, petty fools.
It is gonna happen.
If he gets back together with her, he’s an idiot.
(But I kind of suspect he’s actually an idiot)
They’re both idiots so perfect for one another!
Yup. It’s coming.
I’m thinking that before Taylor tried to drag him (after the peaceful split was happening) he would’ve gotten back with her. Now? I think he’s happy to have survived and won’t be going near that again. Which is literally what every past swift BF has emerged with.
Again the problem at this point is her. Can’t even do the mental gymnastics to make it seem like it’s not
No way hes getting back with her. She isn’t his type physically and after she embarrassed him with releasing the song details that they had agreed to keep quiet, he knows he can’t trust her. His career is very important to him.
‘She isn’t his type physically’
she clearly was his type for a year. i always find these sort of comments weird because yes, you can have a type, but it’s not set in stone you know? if i usually am most attracted to very tall, dark haired men but i end up dating a short, blond dude for some time, it means that on occasion i probably like different things, too. jfc.
Well he said that, thb you can have type even tho you fell for someone different once or twice. . Every female he’s dated before and after swift are brunettes, most are curvy Latinos or black girls.
I was just listening to his new song, allegedly about T.S. It could be. My interpretation of the song is that I don’t see it as a diss track. Just him saying he wasn’t comfortable and happy with their relationship but he stayed and felt two faced for doing so. Now he’s free and more comfortable living his life. I think he felt trapped with TS’s fame and success. He was always TS’s boyfriend. The DJ. He wants his own respect and mega success.
(Or maybe I’m over-analyzing these simple lyrics that basically say “my way 100 times lol)
He usually likes brunette sand she’s not his type!
Extra points for “The Glorious Tiddlebanging: A World-Wide Adventure.”
I think Calvin is a massive douche, but he does strike me as considerably less phony and fake than Swifty. I can imagine why he’d grow tired of her PR shenanigans (not like he’s this private, reserved angel either).
That being said… I wouldnt exactly be shocked if they did come back.
He’s probably a douche but he’s not fake like her. He can’t pretend otherwise when he’s angry or hurt,
Everything he said about her turned out to be true. He said she controls the media, and you saw that with Hiddleston too. The tiddles break up happened weeks before it was made public but her team manipulated it so they could paint a picture where she is the victim and Hiddleston looks like the bad guy. It was exactly the same thing with Calvin but people didn’t want to believe him at the time because he isn’t as popular on this site.
hiddleston does not look like the bad guy and she is not painted as a victim. she has been “very upbeat” about the split, remember?
@ Anna Are you kidding? First her sources said he wanted the relationship to be more public. He’s such a publicity hound private Taylor just had to break up with him. . Right now there’s a story going around he’s a snob and control freak.
And yet there are all these stories circulating about what an arrogant, controlling, temperamental publicity hungry upper class twit TommyAnne is. Wonder where all that came from?
Classic example of projection.
What do you have to do to/how do you become a famous DJ?
Showing my age, sorry.
The meaning of DJ hasnt changed. Its still that guy who lays multiple tracks over each other and mixes them so the beats transition seamlessly. Theres a lot of controversy about the current crop of celeb DJs because people feel they are more producers than DJs. Some of them actually show up to DJing gigs only to push a button on their ipod and play a session pre mixed in a studio. I dont follow EDM enough to know whether Calvin live DJs (and therefore deserves to be called a DJ) but he is most definitely a highly successful and sought after producer.
Naya nailed it. Dated a DJ who went on to mix sound for live tv productions. It takes a good ear and a lot of actual physics knowledge about how sound will bounce around a room and where to place speakers and stuff way over my head. I don’t know how many DJs have the physics part down but they definitely have the ear for it.
Calvin won songwriter of the year in the UK a few years ago. He’s defo more than a DJ. He’s a songwriter producer type and a DJ.As you guys mentioned a reason a lot of people who started as DJs- diplo, white shadow, mark ronson- go on to be respected producers is that they have a good ear and understanding of sound. Djs often get producing jobs on the back of things like remixes.
The iPod dj is more referring to celebrites like Paris Hilton, actors, models, celeb offspring who take dj jobs. It’s not in reference to people like ronson, diplo, Calvin and so on.
what makes me laugh is that both he and taylor front it like they’re so over each other, then continue throwing shade at one another lol. tiddles happened so that taylor could lord it over adam calvin and that’s it, ofc it didn’t last.
What year is this? The Great Tiddlesplit of 2015?
2016.

Most of these cracked me up yesterday, but #42 is particularly apt.
Thank you. Sometimes, I lose track of time. 🙂
I actually saw number 7 on that list in real time and laughed for far, far too long over it!
I saw #34 in real-time and howled with laughter!
#7 was good too.
I’ve never seen “engaged” instead of “occupied” when applied to the toilet. That sounds sooo very British.
Who is?
He’s such a babe! 😍
I just saw ssome photos of Calvin Harris and Taylor Swift’s wax figures at Oktoberfest. So funny. http://mashable.com/2016/09/15/calvin-harris-taylor-swift-wax-figures/?utm_cid=mash-com-tw-aus-link%23l7p5codLmpqQ#jl4KsXA4bqqh
What I Came For was Calvin & JLo…just to make Tay’s head explode.
who the f@ck its Calvin Harris?
