Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris’ relationship explained
As per reports, Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris first met in 2015. Within days of knowing each other, the duo were spotted flirting at an afterparty of the 2015 Brit Awards. In April of the same year, Harris made a subtle announcement of the duo’s dating status. He posted a picture of Swift’s cats, Meredith and Olivia, on his social media.
The couple went fully public at the Billboard Music Awards a month later. Cameras caught Swift kissing the DJ, sealing their relationship with an unmistakable declaration of love.

In December of the same year, Swift also shared a sneak peek of their romance on Instagram. The now-deleted post showed Harris playing with snow alongside Swift and his brother, Austin. She had posted a photo of their snowman with the caption, “Really proud of ourselves over here.”
In June 2016, reports claimed the “Blank Space” crooner and “This Is What You Came For” hitmaker ended their relationship. Later, Swifties speculated that the track “Getaway Car” in Reputation could be about her romance with Harris.
A fan noted on Reddit, “On Reputation, ‘Getaway Car’ is about her needing an excuse to leave Calvin and her rebounding with Tom. ‘I Did Something Bad’ is also speculated to be about the same situation – particularly ‘if he spends my change then he had it coming’ appears to reference ‘This Is What You Came For’ and him making money from the song that she wrote for him.”
