Taylor Swift is one of those stars who is so iconic that even if someone does not listen to her songs, they probably know something about her. However, her fame is not just about her music; her relationships and dating life are also widely discussed. Part of the credit goes to the pop star herself, who has woven her love affairs into her songs with the finesse of a master storyteller, revealing something new every time one listens to them. One such chapter in her journey to finding Travis Kelce was with Calvin Harris. 

As the former couple hit the headlines once more after years of parting ways, here is a recap of Taylor Swift's one of the longest-standing relationships in the public eye.

Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris hit it off after Ellie Goulding played matchmaker for them in February 2015. Harris made their relationship Instagram-official a few months later with an adorable pic of the singer’s cats, Meredith and Olivia. But alas, after a solid 15 months together, the musicians decided to go their separate ways on June 1, 2016. When word got out about Swift’s new boyfriend, actor Tom Hiddleston, the exes went on a social media purge, scrubbing their profiles clean of any memories.

According to a source close to Harris, the couple had been grappling with issues for some time. "Taylor is used to being treated a certain way," the source told PEOPLE. Despite the split, the exes managed to mend fences, a source told TMZ in September 2016. However, things took a sour turn when it came to light that Swift had secretly penned Harris and Rihanna's hit ‘This Is What You Came For’under a pseudonym. The DJ did not take it lightly, firing off a series of now-deleted angry tweets accusing Swift of trying to “tear” him down.

Calvin Harris' wife, Vick Hope, has indirectly opened up about the dynamic between her husband and Taylor Swift, revealing that she still finds time to tune into the pop star's latest hits. However, she does so discreetly, ensuring Harris is not around to hear. “As soon as my husband goes away, I listen to Taylor Swift,” she confessed during Monday's episode of her BBC Radio 1 show, Going Home with Vick, Katie, and Jamie.

Hope admitted Swift's music as her guilty pleasure following a segment where the hosts discussed listener messages about solo activities to enjoy when partners are absent. “That’s just when I get my little fill -just a little fill", said Hope. Given that she is not the only partner of Taylor Swift's exes to admit to being a huge Swiftie, it is clear that her impact can override any feelings of awkwardness.
