And she sings on a little bit of it too ??
Amazing lyric writer and she smashed it as usual https://t.co/vW3yGOIJit— Calvin Harris (@CalvinHarris)
I wrote the music, produced the song, arranged it and cut the vocals though. And initially she wanted it kept secret, hence the pseudonym

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 ??

I figure if you’re happy in your new relationship you should focus on that instead of trying to tear your ex bf down for something to do

I know you’re off tour and you need someone new to try and bury like Katy ETC but I’m not that guy, sorry. I won’t allow it

Please focus on the positive aspects of YOUR life because you’ve earned a great one

Earlier on Wednesday, TMZ reported that Swift "wrote the song, sat down at a piano and did a demo into her iPhone,” which she then sent to Harris.
After recording a full demo, they agreed to keep the collaboration on the down-low, but Swift was hurt after Harris did an interview and said he couldn’t foresee working with his then-girlfriend in the future.
“You know, we haven’t even spoken about it. I can’t see it happening though,” Harris told Ryan Seacrest while promoting the song.
After meeting Hiddleston at the Met Ball in May, Swift’s friendship with the actor took a romantic turn weeks after her split from Harris, and the new couple have been globe-trotting in the last month.
