After 15 months of dating, Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris have now parted ways. The split was reported by People and confirmed by Billboard.com.
A source told People, “There was no drama. Things just don’t work out sometimes.” The insider also reassured everyone that no one had cheated during their relationship.
A friend of the singer also revealed that Harris was intimidated by her success, which ultimately contributed to the breakup. “[Harris] said on multiple occasions that he was intimidated by Taylor, which is why he would not attend any events where she was being honored, or any award shows unless he was nominated.”
Following their first-year anniversary back in March, Swift praised Harris during her speech at the iHeart Music Awards by stating how much it meant to go home to him at night, making some fans comment on their “hopeless love” for one another.
Some reports suggest the two split before Calvin Harris’s car accident on May 20, although these are only rumors. Swift had hoped that nursing him back to health would bring them back together, an attempt that ultimately failed.
As with many celebrity couples, there is constant buzz about every move she makes with a boyfriend. As far back as 2008, Swift was in a relationship with or dating a long list of celebrities up until this point, some which inspired her award-winning albums. They include Joe Jonas, Taylor Lautner, John Mayer, Jake Gyllenhall, Conor Kennedy, and Harry Styles. Most relationships averaged about one year.
In true Swift form, hardcore fans speculate her next album or single will be inspired by Harris.
