Through the years, Taylor’s famous breakup tunes have “undoubtedly mended more than a few broken hearts,” E! News pointed out. But will her sixth studio album carry on that tradition?
Since returning to the studio to meld magical melodies, Swift has “already written songs about exes Tom Hiddleston and Calvin Harris,” an insider told E! News. However, the media outlet cautioned that it’s possible those tunes about her exes will not be included in the album’s ultimate edit.
The “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” songstress and Harris were a couple for about a year and a half, with that romance ending in June. Taylor and Hiddleston were then together for a short-lived romantic relationship that ended in early September.
So with her relationships with Calvin and Tom over, will Swift be writing some sort of revenge songs or breakup anthems? An E! News insider revealed that the “You Belong With Me” singer has maintained a “totally amicable” relationship with Harris (whose real name is Adam Wiles) and Tom, and those songs mirror that.
“[Taylor] has spoken to Adam on text,” added the source, describing it as “a friendly check-in” discussion.
“[Swift] is on good terms with Tom at this point.”
As for more details on Taylor’s current relationship with Hiddleston, Gossip Cop debunked a recent report alleging that she and Tom were feuding.

“They dated briefly, and it didn’t work out,” Gossip Cop clarified to readers in addition to debunking the feud report.

Beyond the collaboration, however, rumors have been swirling that the “Blank Space” songstress and Drake are dating, which E! News links to her presence at his recent 30th birthday party. But while some fans of the duo are busy shipping Drake and Swift as a couple, the insider clarified that their relationship is in the friendship zone.
“They are not dating or hooking up,” shared the source. “They are both purely friends.”
One of the attendees at Drake’s birthday party recalled the sight of them together during the party.
“At one point Drake and Taylor were seen near the DJ together talking, his arm over her shoulder for a minute like a real friend moment,” the observer told the media outlet. “It looked like they were talking about something deep.”
