If Calvin Harris was the world’s best friend, we would totally side with him, understanding where his rant has stemmed from. But we’re not – and that’s not just because he’s a lowkey misogynist.
Collectively, and unfortunately, we’re Taylor Swift’s bestie, just like Selena, Gigi, and Cara.
Although this Taylor Swift situation is getting really boring – and that’s not just because her dress style has gone all English country – we got involved from the start and now we just have to see it through.
Between her, Calvin Harris and her rumoured soon-to-be-fiance Tom Hiddleston, there is a lot of beef. And now, even more so.
Back in April, Calvin Harris’ best song “This is What You Came For” ft Rihanna was released, and Swifties immediately attributed Taylor’s songwriting abilities to the track – but at the time there was no credit given to her.
Now, Swift’s PR team suspiciously gave up the gig and declared that she did indeed write the song under the pseudonym Nils Sjoberg. Ta-daaaa!
Enter Calvin Harris’s comeback:
However, by bringing Katy Perry into the mix (reportedly, Swift and Perry had a fallout over the idea of feminism, or whatever, hence Swift’s song “Badblood”) just got this reaction:

The Queen of Twitter then retweeted herself:
Here’s a little background on the two from The Daily Beast:
Indeed, the artist formerly known as Nils Sjoberg is clearly trying to look sympathetic in light of cheating rumors and Hiddleswift backlash. A source who definitely isn’t Taylor Swift talking in a funny accent alleges that Harris and Swift got into a big fight after the hit single’s release, when the EDM artist told Ryan Seacrest that he and Swift had never discussed a music collaboration, and that he “can’t see it happening.” Apparently, Swift wanted the collab to be a secret, but thought that Harris’s emphatic denial took it too far. Or something. If Taylor Swift can convince people that this April feud snowballed into the couple’s June split, then they might stop loudly wondering if she cheated on Calvin Harris.
Still, while Taylor Swift might be a cuter, blonder, more squad-oriented Machiavelli, Calvin Harris is just the worst. Harris sympathizers—like the armada of Tweeters who kept #TaylorSwiftIsOverParty trending all Wednesday afternoon—should be reminded that this isn’t the first time the DJ has thrown himself a break-up pity party. In 2014, he shut down his ex Rita Ora’s performance at the Teen Choice Awards; she was set to sing their ironically titled collaboration “I Will Never Let You Down.”
Rumors that Harris is distraught over Swift’s alleged cheating are also seriously undermined by the fact that Calvin Harris and Taylor Swift got together at the 2015 Brit Awards…just one day after Harris was spotted enjoying a beach day with Aarika Wolf, his model girlfriend of seven months.
So there you have it – can we just move along now?
