Swift shift by Taylor’s boyfriend
DON’T EXPECT TAYLOR SWIFT to write too many songs about this little episode in her love life.
Confidenti@l has learned that the “Shake It Off” singer’s boyfriend, Calvin Harris, was dating someone else when they first hooked up.
We’re told the EDM superstar confessed to a pal that he was cheating on model Aarika Wolf with the singer before ending their six-month relationship and moving on to Swift (r.). As far as we know, Tay Tay didn’t know that Harris was otherwise attached when they first got it on.
“Calvin and Aarika met on the set of his music video ‘Blame’ in August, and they started officially dating in October,” said our insider. “They were full-on boyfriend/girlfriend for about six months; totally joined at the hip.”
In early March, Calvin told a close friend that he had cheated on Wolf with Swift and didn’t know how to explain himself to the model.
We’re told that the Scottish DJ and producer — who previously dated Rita Ora and was recently ranked as the richest DJ in the world, with a fortune of around $105 million — waited a while for the dust to settle before stepping out with his new lady. Harris and Swift were first seen together in public on March 25 at a Whole Foods, and turned on the PDA at a Kenny Chesney concert two days later.
“He ended up breaking up with Aarika, and then just pretended that the Taylor Swift stuff happened after (the breakup),” we’re told. “Aarika probably knows now that she was cheated on.”
Wolf, who is repped by Vision Models in L.A. and has 185,000 Instagram followers, certainly doesn’t seem to be Harris’ No. 1 fan. The source tells us that Wolf’s Instagram account was packed with pictures of him, but she has since deleted them all.
Sadly, our source believes, the heartbreak won’t even lead to a great romance.
“It’s awkward because Calvin’s friends are very much the late-night club and DJ crowd; Taylor doesn’t seem to fit in,” said the insider. “Calvin’s friends think he’s doing it because it’s good for his profile — and he kind of thinks it’s funny.”
Reps for Swift, Wolf and Harris didn’t return our calls for comment.
