Calvin Harris criticises 'hurtful' Taylor Swift in row over hit song



The DJ and producer Calvin Harris has criticised his former girlfriend, pop star Taylor Swift, for making him “look bad” after a celebrity news publication reported that Swift had written Harris’s latest hit song under a pseudonym.
Citing Swift’s representative, People magazine said Swift had written This is What You Came For, which Harris released as a collaboration with singer Rihanna in April.
The magazine reported that Swift had written the song under the pseudonym Nils Sjoberg while the couple were dating, and that Swift became upset over an interview in which Harris said he did not think he would work with her in the future.
“Hurtful to me at this point that her and her team would go so far out of their way to try and make ME look bad at this stage though,” Harris said, in a series of tweets directed at Swift.Representatives for Swift did not respond to Reuters for comment.
Harris had firstly praised Swift as an “amazing lyric writer” as he responded on Twitter to the People report.
After he accused Swift of trying to “bury” Katy Perry – referring to infamous animosity between the pair, rumoured to be at the heart of Swift’s song Bad Blood – Perry tweeted the following gif of Hillary Clinton, and retweeted her own post from May 2015: “Time, the ultimate truth teller.”
Eager to show their allegiances, fans of Perry and Harris used the #TaylorSwiftIsOverParty hashtag on Twitter and took to Swift’s Instagram account posting snake emojis under her photos.
Taylor Swift’s fans countered the snakes with hearts.

Jane the Virgin Season Finale Recap: The Wedding of Jane Gloriana Villanueva

Ivonne Coll as Alba, Gina Rodriquez as Jane, Andrea Navedo as Xo. If I could write this whole recap with emojis, there'd be several varieties of hearts, the running man, the dancing woman, and lots and lots of fires and heart-eyed faces. Those creepy dancing twin girls would also make an appearance. And there'd be a gun. My imaginary emoji recap is appealing because it's incredibly hard to come away from a blockbuster hour of television like "Chapter Forty-Four" and pull together coherent thoughts that aren't just "AHHH!" or "WHY would you get ICE for the DAMN CHAMPAGNE?!" or "OMG FACE OFF MASK!" or "Why isn't all of life just Jane and Rogelio doing that father/daughter dance forever?" But I'll give it a try. Jane the Virgin 's season finale is a narrative fireworks display, a shock-and-awe storytelling spectacular that short-circuits emotional processing centers with blazing confidence. It drops j...
