Harry and Taylor had a brief romance between 2012 and 2013, during which time she wrote her album 1989, with fans long speculating that some of the songs were about their romance.
Last week, Taylor released the re-recorded version of her album, which includes the song Now That We Don’t Talk (Taylor’s Version) (From The Vault). The second verse references Harry’s decision to grow his hair after their split.

Taylor recently got fans talking after she branded an unnamed ex-boyfriend – believed to be Harry – a ‘lying traitor’ previously unreleased songs on the new 1989 version.
On one of the new songs, Is It Over Now, Taylor takes a swipe at a former partner for being a “lying traitor” and sleeping with a string of models after they broke up.
On another new song, called “S**t!”, Taylor sings about the public backlash she received for dating an unnamed heartthrob, with many speculating it could be Harry.
She sings, “I’ll pay the price that you don’t pay / And when they call me that, you know that maybe for once it’ll be worth it / And if I’m gonna get drunk, I might as well be drunk Love.”
‘He’s waiting there. The sticks and stones they throw frozen in the air / ‘Everybody wants him, that was my crime / The wrong place at the right time. . . I break down and he pulls me in / In a world of boys he’s a gentleman.”
Along with Harry, Taylor has also dated DJ Calvin Harris, guitarist John Mayer, movie star Jake Gyllenhaal, actor Joe Alwyn and 1975 Matty Healy.
She is currently in a relationship with American footballer Travis Kelce.
