So it was no big surprise that when Swift and Styles got together, people were invested.
Both huge pop stars in their own right, Swift and Styles sparked dating rumors way back in 2012.
But who started the gossip surrounding Swift and Styles' relationship?
Well, Justin Bieber, of course.
Who was the artist that Bieber alluded to?
Taylor Swift, it would appear.
But things between the pop star and the political heir didn’t last.
So what did Swift do?
She sold the house, snagged a profit of a million dollars, and went on her way.
Neither spoke about the other in a really public way nor were they photographed together often.
“[Taylor]’s a really lovely girl.
Honestly, she couldn’t be a sweeter person,” Styles said.
“She’s a great girl and she’s extremely talented.”
Be still our beating hearts.
So what was the deal and why was Lopez involved?
“Taylor Swift was the special guest performer,” Lopez shared.
And I said, ‘What are you doing here?’
And he sort of [pointed] toward Taylor."
And, well, we love a little bit of tea there’s no denying it.
Swift and Styles were seen in New York City, and, as expected, fans were thrilled.
Ugh, we loved it.
Styles and Swift seemed really comfortable with each other, walking with their arms intertwined.
So, what was the reaction from the fans?
The excitement over these two was unreal.
“They were on holiday and had an almighty row,” the source said.
An “almighty row”?
Okay, there’s a lot to unpack.
Styles and Swift spent Christmas of 2012 apart, so they decided to come together for New Year’s.
According toTeen Vogue, three songs from “1989” alluded to Styles.
Let’s start with the most obvious track literally titled “Style.”
What other tracks were reportedly about Styles?
“I Knew You Were Trouble” and “Out of the Woods.”
In May 2015, Swift hosted a Billboard Awards after-party, attended by a bunch of A-list celebrities.
“It felt very fragile, it felt very tentative,” Swift said.
“And it always felt like, ‘Okay, what’s the next road block?
What’s the next thing that’s gonna deter this?
How long do we have before this turns into just an awful mess and we break up?”
Naturally, DeGeneres called him on it.
“I’m not having fun!”
Styles later exclaimed during the game.
“I just wanted it to be a normal date,” he shared.
“But the issue is, she’s so good, they’re bloody everywhere.”
“I’m never going to tell anybody everything.”
He went up to the mic and sang, “Twenty-two.
She’s 22, okay.
I don’t know about …” The crowd of spectators roared with excitement.
And of course, the internet was wild with tweets referencing the moment.
Notably, Styles had previouslytweetedthat he was “feeling 22” when he turned 22 in 2016.
Swift released even more iconic and groundbreaking music, and Styles officially launched his solo career.
We love to see it!
Clearly, she didn’t mind standing out among the crowd while showing her support.
He gives her a half-hug and the two chat for a bit before Swift returns to her group.
An enchanting night indeed.
The moment still makes us cringe to this day.
“Taylor knowing exactly how he feels.
I can’t imagine working hard and having people boo me for winning???”
“You never know with this stuff.
