How Taylor Swift subtly addresses her iconic sad boat photo on 1989 (Taylor's Version)

Sad Keanu, but make it Taylor's Version.

You've heard of the Sad Keanu meme , but have you heard of Sad Taylor?

Longtime Swifties will recall a photo that made the rounds online in 2013 (below), featuring Taylor Swift sitting glumly by herself on a boat in the Virgin Islands wearing a blue dress and black sunglasses. According to reports at the time , Swift and Harry Styles had been vacationing together, got into a disagreement, and broke up, with said photo capturing her leaving the trip alone. (It all worked out for Swift, though, who would go on to create 1989 , her second record to win the coveted Grammy for Album of the Year.)

While the music video for the 1989 song "Out of the Woods" featured Swift in a blue dress, leading some to speculate if it was the dress or perhaps an allusion to it, she's never overtly addressed the "sad boat photo" moment in her music... until now.

On the just-released re-recording of the album, 1989 (Taylor's Version) , the all-new vault track "Is It Over Now?" contains a fairly obvious nod to the alleged incident with the lyrics, "Blue dress / On a boat / Your new girl / Is my clone." (Fans have also pointed out that the latter half of the lyric seems like a companion or response to Styles' song "From the Dining Table," which includes the lyrics, "Woke up the girl who looked just like you / I almost said your name.")

"Is It Over Now?" is a breakup song from the perspective of a narrator wondering exactly when a doomed relationship ended (while also getting in a few good jabs at the ex, naturally). It seems to include several other references to Styles, including that infamous alleged snowmobile accident in 2012 , lending credence to the theory that it could be about the former couple and their ill-fated trip to the Caribbean — and by extension, yes, that sadly hilarious photo.

If "Is It Over Now?" is a vault track new to most listeners' ears, it was technically written back around the time the rest of 1989 was. Swift and Styles have since moved on. They appeared to have no bad blood when they were seen chatting it up and applauding each other at the 2021 Grammys, and then fist-bumping at the 2023 ceremony, much to fans' delight. The two globe-conquering pop stars would probably laugh about it all today.

A decade after it went viral the first time, a photo of Taylor Swift in a blue dress on a boat is circulating on the internet again after she referenced it in her new song, “Is It Over Now?”

“Is It Over Now?” is the fifth “From the Vault” track and the last song on 1989 (Taylor’s Version) , a re-release of Taylor’s fifth studio album, 1989 , which was first released in 2014 and won the Grammy for Album of the Year.

Taylor Swift’s blue dress on a boat photo explained

1989 (taylor’s version) by taylor swift.

According to People, the photo of Taylor Swift in a blue dress on the boat was taken while was sitting in customs. Styles, meanwhile, stayed on the vacation and even paid a visit to business magnate Richard Branson’s private island. “Richard Branson heard Harry was staying nearby so invited him to come check out Necker,” a source told Business Insider at the time. “So when Taylor left for the states, Harry went to Branson’s island for the day to let off some steam.”

(Is it? Is it? Is it? Is it? Is it?)

Once the flight had flown (Uh-huh)

With the wilt of the rose (Uh-huh)

I slept all alone (Uh-huh)

You still wouldn’t go

[Pre-Chorus]

Let’s fast forward to three hundred takeout coffees later

I see your profile and your smile on unsuspecting waiters

You dream of my mouth before it called you a lying traitor

You search in every maiden’s bed for somethin’ greater, baby

Was it over when she laid down on your couch?

Was it over when he unbuttoned my blouse?

“Come here,” I whispered in your ear

In your dream as you passеd out, baby

Was it over then? And is it over now?

[Post-Chorus]

(Is it? Is it? Is it?)

Whеn you lost control (Uh-huh)

Red blood, white snow (Uh-huh)

Your new girl is my clone

And did you think I didn’t see you?

There were flashin’ lights

At least I had the decency

To keep my nights out of sight

Only rumors ’bout my hips and thighs

And my whispered sighs

Oh, Lord, I think about jumpin’

Off of very tall somethings

Just to see you come runnin’

And say the one thing I’ve been wanting, but no

Let’s fast forward to three hundred awkward blind dates later

If she’s got blue eyes, I will surmise that you’ll probably date her (Oh, no)

You dream of my mouth before it called you a lying traitor (Oh)

You search in every model’s bed for somethin’ greater, baby

In your dream as you passed out, baby

(Is it? Is it?)

Think I didn’t see you?

Just to see you come runnin’ (Runnin’)

Flashin’ lights, oh, Lord (Oh)

Let’s fast forward to three hundred takeout coffees later (Oh)

(Flashin’ lights) I was hoping you’d be there

And say the one thing (Oh, Lord)

I’ve been wanting (Oh, Lord)

Is Taylor Swift's 'Is It Over Now?' about Harry Styles? Iconic sad boat reference in '1989' vault track sparks wild theories online

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: When it comes to her music, Taylor Swift is the queen of leaving Easter eggs in her songs for her fans to speculate on.

The most recent one is the 'Is It Over Now?' song from the '1989 (Taylor's Version)' album, released on October 27, which according to fans, might allude to her former lover Harry Styles .

The singer, 33, has included never-before-heard tracks on the reissue of her fifth album, '1989', which launched her career to new heights in 2014.

The album includes all 19 original songs as well as five more songs "from the vault"; some of these songs might indicate her breakup with Styles, 29, whom she dated before the 2014 release of '1989.'

Swift calls out a past lover in the new song 'Is It Over Now?', accusing him of being a "lying traitor" and having an affair with other models following their breakup, per Daily Mail .

Fans believe Harry Styles linked to breakup Taylor describes in 'Is It Over Now?'

The couple parted ways nearly ten years ago. However, longtime Swifties observed a link between the two and the new From The Vault tune 'Is It Over Now?'

In the synth-pop ballad 'Is It Over Now? (Taylor's Verison),' Swift seems to be singing about how hard it is to move on from a former relationship when both individuals are in the spotlight.

Swift sings, "And did you think I didn’t see you? / There were flashin’ lights," apparently in reference to her ex-partner being seen in pictures.

"At least I had the decency / To keep my nights out of sight / Only rumors ’bout my hips and thighs /And my whispered sighs," she continues.

Swift continues, labeling the former lover a "lying traitor" and charging them with looking in "every model’s bed for something greater."

Swift refers to the ex's "new girl" as her "clone" and jokes about their shared reluctance to let go of their romance in other parts of the song, as per US Weekly .

Taylor Swift's infamous snowmobile accident

Swift disclosed that she and her ex-partner were once engaged in a snowmobile accident in an interview with Rolling Stone in 2014. She told the media, "You know what I’ve found works even better than an NDA?"

"Looking someone in the eye and saying, ‘Please don’t tell anyone about this." In contrast, Styles was seen in pictures with a bandage over his chin a few days after the event.

Swift recalls a "blue dress on a boat" in the second verse as well. Swift and Styles are said to have called it quits in 2013 while on vacation in the Virgin Islands.

Fans of Swift might recall a picture that appeared online in 2013 and showed Swift sitting grimly by herself on a yacht in the Virgin Islands, clad in black sunglasses and a blue outfit.

At the time, rumors circulated that Swift and Styles had been on vacation together when they got into an argument and called it quits. The picture in question shows her departing the trip by herself.

Despite their brief romance, many believe Swift's connection with Styles was a major influence on '1989', her album that was released in October 2014 and featured songs like 'Out of the Woods,' 'Style,' and more.

Internet goes bonkers over speculations about Taylor Swift's 'Is It Over Now?' being about Harry Styles

Online Swifties and other Internet users took to online platform X (formerly Twitter) to express their views on speculations that Swift's 'Is It Over Now?' song is about Styles.

One fan quipped, "Harry styles listening to “Is It Over Now?” thinking he was safe from the rerecordings," with an image of Swift.

A second X user wrote, "Harry after listening to is it over now?" with a clip of Styles.

"Is it over now?” Taylor said “I’m talking about Harry Edward Styles and I will make sure every last one of you b*****s knows it”, wrote a third one.

A fourth one joked, "Harry Styles when the songs switched from Suburban Legends to Is It Over Now," with snaps of Swift.

Taylor Swift’s ‘Is It Over Now?’ Vault Track Addresses Her Iconic Sad Boat Photo After Harry Styles Split

There's lyrical evidence that Taylor Swift's vault song 'Is It Over Now?' — and maybe the entire '1989' album — is about her relationship with Harry Styles.

Taylor Swift re-recorded her beloved pop album, 1989 , and also dropped five vault tracks including “Is It Over Now?” which references her relationship with Harry Styles . The new song that was released October 27 includes a nod to the iconic January 2013 photo of Taylor, 33, sitting alone on a boat in the Virgin Islands wearing a blue dress and black sunglasses after she and Harry, 29, broke up on vacation. In “Is It Over Now?”, Taylor sings, “Blue dress / On a boat / Your new girl / Is my clone.”

The “Swifties” are going crazy over the references to Harry, who Taylor dated for less than a year before the pop album came out in 2014. It’s long been rumored that 1989 is about the former One Direction member. The lyrics in “Is It Over Now?” certainly support that fan theory.

Taylor alludes to her split from Harry throughout the new vault song. “And did you think I didn’t see you? / There were flashin’ lights/ At least I had the decency / To keep my nights out of sight / Only rumors ’bout my hips and thighs /And my whispered sighs,” she sings.

The Grammy Award winner seems to call Harry out for moving on with Kendall Jenner , 27, after they broke up. Harry was romantically linked to the famous model and reality star briefly in 2013.

“Let’s fast forward to three hundred awkward blind dates later,” Taylor sings. ‘If she’s got blue eyes, I surmise that you’ll probably date her/ You dream of my mouth before it called you a lying traitor/ You search in every model’s bed for somethin’ greater, baby.”

Taylor and Harry broke up during the time that Taylor was creating her 1989 album, which came out in October 2014. The re-recording features her new versions of the 16 original tracks, many of which include nods to Harry. “Style” is a literal play on the British superstar’s last name, while “I Know Places” and “Out Of The Woods” are about a relationship between two people who fight through scrutiny to try and make things work. “Wonderland” includes a reference to Harry when Taylor sings about “green eyes” (Harry has green eyes) and “Cheshire” (which is where he’s from in England).

Despite their breakup over a decade ago, Taylor and Harry are on good terms today. The exes had friendly interactions at the Grammy Awards in both 2021 and 2023. Taylor even stood up and cheered for Harry when he won Best Pop Solo Performance at the award show two years ago.

'1989' puts a spotlight on Taylor Swift and Harry Styles’ relationship timeline

With the release of Taylor Swift’s “1989 (Taylor’s Version),” fans are remembering that the “Anti-Hero” singer had a romantic life before her rumored r elationship with NFL star Travis Kelce.

Swift’s “1989” album was originally released two years after her rumored romance with fellow pop star Harry Styles. The former couple, who fans dubbed “ Haylor, ” dated from late 2012 until early 2013, and appear to have remained friendly over the years.

Some “1989” songs, both in the original release and the re-release, appear to hint at the relationship, with specific references in lyrics.

Swift has never confirmed who the songs are about, and in fact has declined to share. When asked during a December 2014 interview with Global's "The Morning Show" about whether the person she was singing about is also a singer, Swift replied, “One of the things about writing music and to be this vulnerable is to never name names.”

“Style” seems to be a reference to the former One Direction singer’s last name, and a new song from the vault, “Is It Over Now?” seems to contain overt references to a snowmobile accident the two were reportedly involved in. (She addressed the accident in a 2014 Rolling Stone interview , without naming which "ex" she was with at the time).

Let’s take a look back at Swift and Styles’ relationship timeline, and what we know. TODAY.com has reached out to both Swift and Styles for comment.

March 2012: Taylor Swift and Harry Styles attend the Kids Choice Awards

Viewers of the 2012 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards learned that Swift and close pal Selena Gomez were major One Direction fans. The pair were caught on camera dancing and singing in the audience as the band performed its mega-hit “What Makes You Beautiful.”

November 2012: Styles calls Swift 'lovely' as romance rumors escalate

As rumors about the pair escalated, Styles, who was 18 at the time, spoke about Swift, then 22, to Seventeen for a One Direction profile published in November 2012.

Styles called the “You Belong With Me” singer a “real lovely girl.”

“Honestly, she couldn’t be a sweeter person,” he said, adding, “She’s a great girl and she’s extremely talented.”

Styles also said the singer is “one of those people you meet (who’s) genuinely a nice person. Some people you meet and they are not as nice as you make them out to be, but she’s one of those people who’s really just amazing.”

November 2012: Taylor wears Harry's necklace (or one just like it)

Around the same time of the Seventeen article, eagle-eyed fans noticed that Swift began wearing a necklace that's identical to Styles' paper airplane necklace. (She later seemingly referenced the symbol in her "1989" hit "Out of the Woods" with the lyrics, "Two paper airplanes flying, flying, flying.")

December 2012: They're photographed walking together in Central Park

On Dec. 2, 2012, a day before One Direction performed at New York’s Madison Square Garden, Swift and Styles were photographed walking together in Central Park.

January 2013: They're spotted sharing a kiss on New Year's Eve

The couple were photographed kissing as the clock struck 12 a.m. during “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest” in New York’s Times Square, according to People.

Swift was one of the night's performers.

January 2013: The Virgin Islands breakup

The two were photographed in St. John together, per E!, in early January. Swift appeared to leave the Virgin Islands alone. A photo of her on the back of a boat, wearing a blue dress by herself, went viral.

In her new vault track "Is It Over Now?" Swift seemingly addressed the photo with the lyric, "Blue dress on a boat." The song reflects on heartbreak and the uncertain end of a relationship due to betrayal.

February 2013: Taylor fakes an English accent while performing at the Grammys

A month after the breakup, Swift broke into a mock English accent while performing “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” when she opened for the 2013 Grammys, per videos .

“Ugh, so he calls me up and he’s like, ‘I still love you,’” she said, feigning a British twang, before switching back to an American accent to respond, “This is just exhausting, you know? We are never, ever getting back together. Ever.”

October 2014: Taylor releases '1989'

On Oct. 27, 2014, Swift released her album “1989.” Of the songs, fans identify “Style” and “Out of the Woods” as possibly being about Styles.

S wift, in 2023, said “Is It Over Now?” is a “sister song ” to “Out of the Woods,” and fans also saw “Is It Over Now?” as a song about the One Directioner.

“Style” finds Swift’s narrator singing passionately about a James Dean type who wears white T-shirts and his long hair “slicked back,” a look Styles made popular at the time.

“Out of the Woods” mentions a couple needing emergency treatment after an accident, with the lyrics, “Remember when you hit the brakes too soon / Twenty stitches in a hospital room.” Swift has confirmed she got into a snowmobile accident with an "ex," who is reportedly Styles.

Performing an acoustic version of “Out of the Woods” at the opening of the Grammy Museum in 2015 , Swift spoke about the relationship that inspired the song.

“The number one feeling I felt in the whole relationship was anxiety. Because it felt very fragile, it felt very tentative. 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? Is it a month? Is it three days? And so, you know, I think a lot of relationships can be very solid and that’s kind of what you hope for, for it to be solid and healthy but that’s not always what you get. And it doesn’t mean that it’s not special and extraordinary just to have a relationship that’s fragile and somehow meaningful in that fragility,” she said.

October and December 2014: Swift addresses ‘Style,’ including how it got its title

Swift told Ryan Seacrest on “ On Air with Ryan Seacrest ” that “Style” was the last song she wrote on “1989.” When asked why she named the song “Style,” Swift dodged the question: “‘Cause the hook is ‘we never go out of style.’ And I thought ‘we never go out of style’ was a long title."

She also broke down the lyrics about both individuals seeing other people: “I heard that you’ve been out and about with some other girl, some other girl / He says, ‘What you heard is true, but I can’t stop thinkin’ ‘bout you’ and I / I said, ‘I’ve been there too a few times.’”

“It’s one of those relationships that’s always a bit off … it’s never quite synced up right. The two people are trying to forget each other. They’ve both been out with other people and try to forget the other. It’s like, ‘I heard you went off with her and you came back. Well, I’ve done that too.’ That’s what that line means,” Swift said.

Later on in the interview she declined to say who the song was about, but she continued to say what the song was about.

In December, Swift revealed on Global's “The Morning Show “ that “Style” is about a romance that never quite ends.

“‘Style’ is actually about those relationships that are never really done,” she explained. “You always kind of have that one person who you feel like might interrupt your wedding and be like, ‘Don’t do it, we’re not over yet.’ I think everybody has that one person who kind of floats in and out of their life and the narrative is never truly over.”

October 2015: One Direction releases 'Perfect,' which fans believe is about Taylor Swift

One Direction released their song “Perfect,” which Styles co-wrote with band member Louis Tomlinson and other collaborators.

“If you like flashing cameras every time we go out / If you’re looking for someone to write your breakup songs about / Baby we’re perfect,” Styles sings on one verse, prompting fans to believe the song is at least partly about Swift.

March 2021: The exes reunite at the 2021 Grammys

Styles and Swift chatted with each other in the audience of the 2021 Grammys, according to a video posted by the Recording Academy.

Both performers were honored for the work that night, with Swift winning the award for album of the year for "Folklore," and Styles winning a best pop solo performance Grammy for "Watermelon Sugar."

May 2022: Styles sings some of Swift's lyrics during a concert

Styles sang a line from Swift’s song “22” while celebrating a fan’s birthday during a live performance in London. In a fan video posted on Twitter, Styles is seen singing “I’m feeling 22” after reading a sign about an audience member's 22nd birthday.

October 2022: Swift releases 'Midnights' with one song reminding fans of Styles

Swift released her 10th studio album, "Midnights," on Oct. 21, 2022.

The song "Question …?" reminded fans of "Out of the Woods" because it features the same opening melody and samples , with voice modulation, some of the lyrics, including the very first line: "I remember."

February 2023: Taylor and Harry share a hug at the Grammys

Swift showed her support for Styles at the 2023 Grammys when she gave him a standing ovation after he won the album of the year award for "Harry's House."

The sweet moment was caught on camera by Entertainment Weekly.

The "Shake it Off" singer, who took home the best music video award for “All Too Well: The Short Film,” also stood to dance while Styles performed his hit "As It Was" and stopped by Styles' table to give him a hug.

Harry Styles Enters His 1989 Era One Last Time

In anticipation of 1989 (Taylor’s Version) , Taylor Swift has spent the last month actively reliving her “Shake It Off” years. She’s doing girl-squad pap walks around New York City, boldly embracing a new romance in public again, and now, resurfacing Haylor, her ship name with former boyfriend/fellow sequin appreciator Harry Styles, on “Is It Over Now?” Written by Swift and Jack Antonoff, this 1989 (TV) vault track sees Swift reminiscing about her notorious on-again, off-again relationship with a former boy-bander who had a thing for blue eyes, wondering whether it was finished for good. How do we know for sure? Let’s take a Central Park–themed walk through some of the song’s lyrics.

Clue: “When you lost control / Red blood, White snow” Translation: Ah, yes, the snowmobile accident, the same one referenced in “Out of the Woods” (“Remember when you hit the brakes too soon? Twenty stitches in the hospital room”). This confirms the song is almost certainly about Styles. Fans suspect the incident happened on a trip the two took a few days before Christmas 2012, since Styles was later seen attempting to hide his stitches with a scarf. (Also, he made a very conspicuous tweet about it the same day.) Later, Swift confirmed to Rolling Stone that she was in a snowmobile accident with an ex.

Clue: “I see your profile and your smile on unsuspecting waiters” Translation: The two pop stars allegedly first met at the Kids Choice Awards in March 2012. While there are no reports of them actually interacting at the show, “unsuspecting” might mean this was the night they were just foxes hiding in plain sight .

Clue: “Baby was it over when she laid down on your couch? / Was it over when he unbuttoned my blouse? / Was it over then and was it over now?” Translation: An allusion to the many beginnings and endings of their relationship. After crushing for months, the two allegedly started seeing each other for a few weeks in April 2012 — until Styles was caught kissing with “Gotta Be You” model Emily Ostilly . Later that year, Swift had a summer romance with Connor Kennedy, who might be the “he” she is referring to in this lyric. And “Was it over now” could be a time jump to January 2013, when Swift and Styles broke up for the second time .

Clue: “And did you think I didn’t see you? There were flashing lights / At least I had the decency to keep my nights out of sight” Translation: A possible reference to the paparazzi photos of Styles kissing Ostilly. Vanity Fair claimed that Styles told Swift that he was just “kissing a friend good-bye,” which prompted Swift to Google pictures of the two clearly making out.

Clue: “You dream of my mouth before it called you a lying traitor” Translation: Styles’s childhood friend, Nick Clough, tells the Mirror that the One Direction star had a crush on Swift years before they got together. “He was like ‘Oh my god, she’s really, really good looking. I would do anything for a bit of that.’ Then he went and got with her years later!” And perhaps Swift called Styles a “lying traitor” after hearing his explanation for the Ostilly kiss.

Clue: “Your new girl is my clone” and “If she’s got blue eyes I will surmise that you’ll probably date her” Translation: Back in 2012, Styles had a type , and Swift clocked it immediately ( Ostilly was also a tall blonde with blue eyes). Styles was later rumored to be hanging out with Rod Stewart’s blue-eyed daughter, Kimberly Stewart , in April 2013.

Clue: “You search in every model’s bed for something greater” Translation: Ostilly = model.

Clue: “Blue dress on a boat” Translation: Swift finally references the rumored fight she had with Styles in the British Virgin Islands, where she was seen in a blue dress, sitting on a yacht alone on her way to the airport. The fight must’ve been particularly painful since the two had just shared a a kiss on New Year’s Eve.

Clue: “Once the flight has flown, with the wilt of a rose, I slept all alone” Translation: Swift flew back from her vacation with Styles on the British Virgin Islands “all alone. A few days later, she recorded the Styles-coded “All You Had to Do Was Stay.”

Taylor Swift and Harry Styles in Central Park on Dec. 2, 2012 in New York City.

“Haylor” never goes out of style.

It’s been 10 years since Taylor Swift and Harry Styles were rumored to be dating, as they were spotted strolling around New York City’s Central Park Zoo in December 2012. While the suspected couple never publicly confirmed their short-lived relationship, fans have since gotten songs from both artists that are widely believed to be about their whirlwind romance, from Styles’ “Ever Since New York” and “Two Ghosts” to Swift’s “Out of the Woods” and the aptly titled “Style.”

Nearly a decade later, the duo sweetly reunited at the 2021 Grammy Awards, where Swift won album of the year for her eighth studio album Folklore , while Styles took home his first-ever Grammy for best pop solo performance for his Fine Line hit, “Watermelon Sugar.” In a viral video that circulated the Internet, the two were seen chatting and smiling, making it clear that there’s no “bad blood” between the exes. Swift was even reportedly seen standing up and clapping for Styles after he won his award.

Throughout the years, Styles has been asked about his famous former sweetheart in interviews — specifically about the songs that are believed to be about him — and has even made nods to her while performing onstage.

For Haylor fans, Harries and Swifties alike, we’ve compiled a complete timeline of every time Styles has talked about or addressed Swift. See it below.

November 2015 - Styles Plays 'Never Have I Ever' on 'Ellen'

While visiting The Ellen DeGeneres with his One Direction bandmates, the talk show host decided to poke some fun with a game of “Never Have I Ever.” The first question was “Never have I ever had someone write a song about me,” to which Styles lifted the “I have never” paddle.

“We’re not going to play if you’re going to lie,” said DeGeneres, before flipping the paddle to the correct side, seemingly referring to songs on Swift’s 1989 . “We are very honest in this studio.”

Watch the full segment here.

April 2017 - Rolling Stone Cover Story

Following the release of his debut solo album in 2017, Styles discussed his “new direction” and his past relationship with Swift for his first solo Rolling Stone cover.

“When I see photos from that day,” he said in the interview of the couple’s Central Park date. “I think: Relationships are hard, at any age. And adding in that you don’t really understand exactly how it works when you’re 18, trying to navigate all that stuff didn’t make it easier. I mean, you’re a little bit awkward to begin with. You’re on a date with someone you really like. It should be that simple, right? It was a learning experience for sure. But at the heart of it – I just wanted it to be a normal date.”

When asked if Swift’s “Out of the Woods” and “Style” are about him, the singer replied, “I mean, I don’t know if they’re about me or not …” he says, attempting gallant discretion, “but the issue is, she’s so good, they’re bloody everywhere.”

He continued, “I write from my experiences; everyone does that. I’m lucky if everything [we went through] helped create those songs. That’s what hits your heart. That’s the stuff that’s hardest to say, and it’s the stuff I talk least about. That’s the part that’s about the two people. I’m never going to tell anybody everything.”

March 2020 - Howard Stern Interview

In an interview with Howard Stern on SiriusXM, Styles discussed a variety of topics, including his songwriting practices.

When Stern observed that Styles’ romantic songs are often followed by fans trying to figure out which famous love interest it’s about, the crooner agreed. “There’s not a lot of interviews where I talk a lot about personal stuff, but I’m fine doing it in music. And I feel like, doing it in music, that’s my version,” he explained.

Stern then brought up Styles’ former romance with Swift, asking if songs written about him upsets him. “I think about what it means to me to write a song about somebody else, and for someone else to do that, I think it’s flattering,” the “As It Was” singer replied. “Even if the song isn’t that flattering, you still spend time on it, and ultimately, using Taylor as an example, she’s a great songwriter.”

“The only time that you think, ‘Oh, is this song too personal?’ is if you think about, is this going to be really annoying for the other person,” he continued.

Watch the interview here.

May 2022 - Howard Stern Round Two

Two years after his first time discussing Taylor Swift on Howard Stern’s SiriusXM show, Styles returned to receive yet another question about his famous past relationship.

The host brought up “Daylight” off of Styles’ third album, Harry’s House , noting that Swift also had a song called “Daylight,” cheekily wondering if he was reading too much into things. “You’re smiling,” he said to Styles.

“You know I’d love to tell you you’re spot-on, but you’re not,” Harry said of the summery R&B jam. “We will always wonder.”

May 2022 - Styles Sings '22' During Concert

During his One Night Only concert in London, the 28-year-old pop star was interacting with fans in the crowd when he reportedly discovered that one of them was there in celebration of their 22nd b-day. “Twenty-two!” he exclaimed from stage.

As he was walking away, he quietly sang part of Swift’s age-specific Red hit into his microphone: “I’m feeling 22, ooh ooh!”

13 Taylor Swift Songs Fans Are Convinced Are About Harry Styles

Unless you live under a rock, you know Taylor Swift is one artist who isn’t afraid to write songs about her life. It’s her signature, and fans love her for it, since she keeps it real and stays true to herself and her own perspective. She pulls from personal experiences and references past loves in her songs, so it makes sense that Swifties like to dissect and analyze her lyrics for their real-life counterparts and meanings.

From “Teardrops On My Guitar” to the Taylor’s Version album reissues, Swift has covered a lot of ground on dating, relationships, and heartbreak. Since her debut onto the country music scene in the late ‘00s, Swift has had her share of celebrity boyfriends, perhaps none more celebrated than pop star and ex-One Direction member Harry Styles. Styles has become a household name in his own right, so it’s no wonder music fans ship these two as a power couple.

In reality, the pair only dated from December 2012 to January 2013 (just one month), but the relationship left an impact on both stars and their music. While they’ve never mentioned each other by name in their lyrics (unless you count “Style”), fans and critics alike have their theories on when they pop up in each other’s songs.

The Compelling Reason Fans Think It’s About Harry: In a 2014 interview, Swift discussed a snowmobile accident she got into with an ex that sent them both to the hospital and later inspired these lyrics. While she didn’t name the ex, fans were quick to presume it was about Styles based on clues, timelines, and reported information. “Red blood, white show, blue dress” is a clear tri-color reference to her and Styles’s relationship.

While the red and white reference the snowmobile incident directly, the blue dress line is referencing this paparazzi photo taken in the Virgin Islands in January 2013, shortly before the breakup. The picture shows Swift alone on a boat in the blue dress and sunglasses, a photo from the vacation that she and Styles reportedly split during. The picture is a whole mood, and a reportedly blowout fight on this trip ultimately led to the couple’s romantic demise.

Out of the Woods

Album It’s On: 1989

The Lyrical Hint: “Oh your necklace hanging from my neck… two paper airplanes flying”

The Compelling Reason Fans Think It’s About Harry: 2014’s 1989 is Swift’s first album post-Styles, so it’s full of references to the ex-One Directioner, and this track is no exception. In 2012, as Styles was coming up in the spotlight, he was often photographed wearing a gold paper airplane necklace . It was his signature jewelry item, and music fans associated the necklace with Styles.

When Swift was reportedly seen out and about wearing the same necklace, the internet was abuzz and the world confirmed them as a couple. While Swift and Styles are clearly the two metaphorical paper airplanes flying here, their relationship just wasn’t meant to. Clearly, Swift got all kinds of inspiration from the coupling anyway.

Say Don't Go

The Lyrical Hint: “Halfway out the door, but it won't close. I’m holdin' out hope for you to say 'don't go’"

The Compelling Reason Fans Think It’s About Harry: Swift has discussed the anxiety she felt during her relationship with Styles, which she also highlights in “Out of the Woods,” another song fans have theorized is about him. While that song discusses the details of the event, this one is more emotional and internal, highlighting her feelings of anxiety, uncertainty, and loneliness.

The track describes a break-up scene in which she is leaving their unresolved relationship when she truly wants to stay. If he had asked her not to go, she would have stayed. Swift implied in an interview that she and Styles were out of sync, and these lyrics illustrate the loneliness you can feel when you are disconnected from your partner. It goes to show that even pop stars have to give up on love sometimes, even if they don’t want to.

The Lyrical Hint: “You got that long hair, slicked back, white t-shirt”

The Compelling Reason Fans Think It’s About Harry: This is the closest Swift has come to calling Styles out by name. Besides the obvious title of the song, fans know he’s the inspiration for the song from the lyrical description in the chorus. From the slicked black long hair to the white t-shirt, it’s easy to see the clear connection to Styles’s fashion of the era.

While he’s a style icon in his own right now, at the time Styles was known and recognized for his long brown hair that he typically wore over to one side or pushed back on his forehead. When he was younger and less established, his style was more simple and boyish; nothing like the boas, bright colored suits, and androgynous silhouettes he sports today. Based on Styles then, this lyric’s a dead ringer. Swift herself even told Ryan Seacrest in 2014 that the song “kind of speaks for itself.”

Now That We Don't Talk

The Lyrical Hint: “You grew your hair long… I don't have to pretend… that I'd like to be on a mega yacht”

The Compelling Reason Fans Think It’s About Harry: Ever changed your hair after a dramatic breakup? Styles has! The most obvious Styles reference here is to him growing his hair out following the breakup. When he was on tour with One Direction in 2014, Styles sported long, curly hair throughout the Where We Are tour. Swift apparently took note.

Supporting the theory further, the “mega yacht” line could be a callback to the blue dress photo that inspired lyrics in a few other songs on the album. Since the couple’s infamous breakup fight supposedly happened on a boat in the Virgin Islands, fans believe Swift is referencing that incident again here.

I Know Places

The Lyrical Hint: “They are the hunters, we are the foxes”

The Compelling Reason Fans Think It’s About Harry: Like much of 1989 , “I Know Places” was likely influenced by Swift’s recent relationship with Styles, referencing their early days of dating. The song allegorizes the experience of living in the public eye: from being followed by paparazzi to wanting to hide together in a safe, comfortable place. It’s a relatable feeling that fans and critics alike understand: there’s no privacy in your personal life (or dating) when you’re a superstar.

On their second date, Swift was photographed by paparazzi in a fox sweater in Central Park walking arm and arm with Styles. These lyrics document their early dates and how it felt being photographed during them , something both stars dealt with at the time. Since Swift is one of the most famous people in the world and Styles was a huge star in One Direction, they likely bonded over their shared understanding of privacy invasion and mutual desire to be left alone by paparazzi. The paparazzi are the hunters and the couple are the prey.

Wildest Dreams

Album It’s On: 1989

The Lyrical Hint: “Say you’ll remember me… you’ll see me in hindsight”

The Compelling Reason Fans Think It’s About Harry: In an interview about the writing process on 1989 , Swift told NPR that she was writing about more complex relationships and feelings at the time, and was able to separate herself from the heavy feelings she’d carried. She wants him to remember her, no matter what happens. She can still appreciate the relationship for what it was, even if it didn’t work out.

Like much of 1989 , this song is rumored to be able Styles and Swift’s grief over their breakup. It also shows her growth as an artist and songwriter, as the lyrics are more advanced and mature than on her previous break up songs .

I Wish You Would

The Lyrical Hint: “You think I'm gonna hate you now 'cause you still don't know what I never said”

The Compelling Reason Fans Think It’s About Harry: This song shows Swift regretting a past breakup, one fans have speculated to be her breakup with Styles. The lyrics describe a disconnect between the two lovers in a situation where neither have communicated their feelings properly. Swift famously told Ryan Seacrest in 2014 interview that the album describes a relationship that’s “always a bit off… it’s never quite synced up right.”

Swift describes the regrets she feels about the way the relationship ended, and that she wishes she could take back the things she said and handle it differently. The song resonates with fans who have been in the same situation, and the evidence points to Styles as the inspiration.

I Knew You Were Trouble

Album It’s On: Red

The Lyrical Hint: “I knew you were trouble when you walked in so shame on me"

The Compelling Reason Fans Think It’s About Harry: This is the earliest song on this list, since Swift and Styles dated in late 2012 and early 2013, after the release of Red in October 2012. While most think this song was inspired by exes Jake Gyllenhaal and/or John Mayer like most of the album, there’s a chance that Swift penned this one about the One Direction baddie.

The theory stems from a 2013 appearance and performance at the BRIT Awards. Swift stated in an interview after the ceremony that the person the song was directed at was watching her perform it , and it made it more real for her. Styles was definitely in attendance that night, so fans ran with this theory. It was cemented further when Styles wrote a song that seemed to reference “I Knew You Were Trouble,” One Direction’s 2015 track “Perfect.”

Album It’s On: evermore

The Lyrical Hint: “Everybody wants you but I don’t like a gold rush”

The Compelling Reason Fans Think It’s About Harry: This one goes beyond the lyrics themselves, as Styles released the song “Golden” on his second solo album, 2019’s Fine Line. “Golden” was a big hit, and fans naturally speculated that Swift’s lyrics on “gold rush” were about the jealousy she felt dating Styles when the whole world was trying to get a piece of him.

Plus, the song includes a reference to a Philadelphia Eagles shirt, one fans connected to a tweeted photo of Styles with an Eagles jersey. Some think this is a stretch, but Swifties are nothing if not thorough with their fandom. While Swift hasn’t confirmed the song is about Styles, many fans believe the wordplay is too obvious a connection to ignore.

It seems Taylor Swift will soon be penning yet more heartfelt ballads about her lovelife.

The Red singer, 23, has ended her month-long fling with One Direction heart-throb Harry Styles, 18, after an angry row during their New Year's vacation.

A source told MailOnline exclusively: 'Yes I can confirm they have split up.

'They were on holiday and had an almighty row. They are two young stars at the top of their game so who knows what will happen in the future.'

Furious: Taylor Swift is seen heading home alone from her Caribbean vacation after ending her relationship with Harry Styles following a furious row

After spending Christmas apart the pair had jetted off to the British Virgin Islands on New Year's Day to spend some time together.

But things did not go to plan and Taylor ended the holiday early, flying back to the U.S. on her own after just three days on vacation on January 4.

A picture obtained by MailOnline shows the glum star sitting alone on a boat, her hands in her lap, as she departs the island of Virgin Gorda.

Before the row: Harry and Taylor pose with fans in the British Virgin Islands in a picture posted online

Not missing Taylor? One Twitter picture even showed a shirtless Harry with his arms wrapped round two young women

Living it up: After his girlfriend reportedly left the island, Harry visited neighbouring Necker island where he was pictured in a hottub with Virgin boss Richard Branson and other guests

Meanwhile Harry stayed on alone and lived it up, partying with fellow guests, and even fitting in a visit to Richard Branson, who owns a neighbouring a private island.

'Richard Branson heard Harry was staying nearby so invited him to come check out Necker,' a source told Business Insider.

'So when Taylor left for the states, Harry went to Branson's island for the day to let off some steam.'

Cryptic message: Taylor's tweet after she secretly split from Harry

Who needs Taylor? Harry continues his holiday after Taylor left early; seen here soaking up the sun alone on Sunday

On his short trip to Necker Island Harry 'did plenty of partying'.

He returned to Gorda in the early morning hours looking like he had a 'raucous night'.

Photos showing an an apparently happy Harry living it up without his now ex-girlfriend were posted online by fans.

Getting on with things: On Monday Harry was seen arriving at a recording studio in Camden

They'll have you if it's really over: As Harry made his way into the studio he stopped to talk to fans

They show the British star enjoying himself in a hot tub alongside Branson and other guests and posing shirtless with fans.

Earlier photos had also shown Taylor, who wore a pretty sundress as she posed with fans.

Twitter lover Taylor has remained ominously quiet in recent days, with her first message since New Year's being on January 5 when she wrote: '...'til you put me down.'

It wasn't until Monday that Harry returned from his vacation, three days after Taylor made her early exit.

Mending his broken heart: The singer appeared to be in good spirits despite his split

Welcome to heartbreak: Dressed down Harry opted to leave his blazer at home for a Nike T-shirt and black jeans

The glum looking star arrived at London's Heathrow airport journeying through the terminal with his entourage carrying his luggage as a group of screaming fans followed behind.

He and Taylor were last seen publicly on New Year's Eve in New York, when they couldn't have appeared closer.

As the clock struck midnight they rang in the new year by sharing a very public kiss under the bright lights of Times Square.

Harry, who had jetted to New York just days before to ring in the New Year with his girlfriend, couldn't resist giving her a passionate smooch as crowds of people swarmed around them.

VIDEO Are they EVER getting back together? Haylor split...

Is it over? Taylor and Harry head into their hotel hand-in-hand moments after kissing each other in Times Square during their New Year's celebration

Happy New Year: Taylor and Harry shared a kiss as the clock struck twelve in New York

One person who might be happy about the split is Taylor's father, who had been worried the two were moving too quickly.

Scott Kingsley Swift even ordered Harry to slow down his relationship with his daughter after reports the pair were talking about marriage.

Scott reportedly told floppy haired Harry to 'cool' his romance with country princess Taylor after reports Harry told the singer that he loved her during their break in Manhattan.

Home bound: Harry arrived back in London following his Caribbean vacation

It is easier to see why her father was worried.

Despite being beautiful, successful and in great shape Taylor does not have much look in her lovelife.

She has been previously linked to Taylor Lautner, John Mayer, Jake Gyllenhaal and more recently, high school student Conor Kennedy.
