Am I loving the gossip around Taylor Swift & Calvin Harris’s breakup to a crazy degree? Sort of. The gossip just reminds me of how much I missed scandalous, boy-crazy Swifty, when she would cycle through three-month relationships like Kleenex and devote entire albums to the intricacies of how those dudes screwed her over. Her fifteen-month relationship with Calvin Harris is an outlier in her dating history, and as such, I can’t help but think that this might take her songwriting to the next level. But judging from the petty he-said/she-said drama in the tabloid press, probably not. Maybe this will be just like all of the other breakups and breakup albums. Anyway, “sources” keep spilling their guts to various outlets, so here we go.

Tay-Tay thought Calvin Harris was The One. So says Us Weekly’s source. This source could just be me though, because this is what I always thought, that Taylor was in love and that she thought Calvin would propose to her. The source tells Us Weekly: “She used to talk about their future a lot — marriage, babies. And although he wants all of that, it just felt a bit like she was all full-steam ahead, whereas he is more of a slow and steady, let things progress organically, kind of guy. It’s a shame because Taylor is a lovely girl. But it just obviously wasn’t meant to be.” Just to defend Swifty for a moment: fifteen months is a decent amount of time. That’s plenty of time for a relationship to progress “organically” to engagement or marriage. My point is that I don’t think Taylor was crazy or clingy for discussing marriage and babies with her boyfriend of 15 months.

Calvin Harris was trying to ease out of the relationship. The continuing narrative from Team Calvin/Adam is that HE has known for a while that Taylor wasn’t the girl for him and that he’s been itching to dump her for months. E!’s sources now say that Taylor and Adam’s lack of chemistry was obvious and they are simply “very different people.” Team Calvin also says that “Taylor wanted more attention than Adam gave. Adam did care very deeply for her but the breakup was bound to happen.” How crazy that Taylor wanted to spend time with her boyfriend of 15 months. I’m sort of itching for the breakup album now! Oh, and E!’s source also insists that “marriage or engagement was not talked about.” More like HE didn’t want to talk about it.

Calvin didn’t like Taylor’s “Hollywood” life. This is TMZ’s take on their breakup, with sources claiming that Calvin “grew more and more uncomfortable” as Taylor wanted him to attend more events as her plus-one, or… you know, just publicly acknowledge her. Allegedly, Calvin is “all about his music, working out and keeping a low profile.” Team Calvin also disputes the idea that Calvin was intimidated by Taylor’s success because Calvin – Mr. Anti-Hollywood – is the most successful DJ in the business.

And finally, Calvin returned to work in Las Vegas on Friday. He told the crowd that he feels “good.” Of course he does. He’ll feel good until the breakup album comes out. Then he’ll have to go into hiding because unhinged Swiftlunatics will come for him.
