Taylor Swift Spills About Getting Over Harry Styles
Taylor Swift is Elle magazine’s June cover star and she opened up about falling in love, her new album and tour life, but also about Harry Styles in an interview with her friend Tavi Gevinson. The famous singer mentions her rumored ex-boyfriend Styles while talking about the song Clean which she wrote about a certain someone, hinting it is about the One Direction member as he was the only person she was involved with at the time.
In the interview, Gevinson asks: “I wanted to ask you about Clean…“, to which Swift responds: “Shake It Off and Clean were the last two things we wrote for the record, so it shows you where I ended up mentally. Clean I wrote as I was walking out of Liberty in London. Someone I used to date—it hit me that I’d been in the same city as him for two weeks and I hadn’t thought about it. When it did hit me, it was like, Oh, I hope he’s doing well. And nothing else. And you know how it is when you’re going through heartbreak. A heartbroken person is unlike any other person. Their time moves at a completely different pace than ours. It’s this mental, physical, emotional ache and feeling so conflicted. Nothing distracts you from it. Then time passes, and the more you live your life and create new habits, you get used to not having a text message every morning saying “Hello beautiful. Good morning.” You get used to not calling someone at night to tell them how your day was. You replace these old habits with new habits, like texting your friends in a group chat all day and planning fun dinner parties and going out on adventures with your girlfriends, and then all of a sudden one day you’re in London and you realize you’ve been in the same place as your ex for two weeks and you’re fine. And you hope he’s fine. The first thought that came to my mind was, I’m finally clean.”
