Here’s a complete breakdown of “Haylor” and everything we know – or think we know – about their relationship.

Fans speculate that Taylor Swift and Harry Styles met at the 2012 Kid’s Choice Awards

Swift’s reaction to the performance sparked rumours that she had a “crush” on Styles. These were spurred on by Justin Bieber, who was friends with Swift at the time due to his relationship with Gomez.

“I already know one of the biggest artists in the world thinks Harry is so hot, but I have been sworn to secrecy,” he told a member of the British press.

According to producer Jacknife Lee, Swift and Styles wrote “a few songs” together during a studio session for Red

Around this time, Sheeran invited Gary Lightbody of Snow Patrol to join them in the studio.

“She was making her Red album. Her and Ed were recording the song they did on the record together in Santa Monica,” Lightbody recalled to Under the Radar. “Ed invited me, with Taylor’s permission, to come into the studio and say, ‘Hi.’”

In 2018, Hot Press magazine ran a cover story titled “The Making of Taylor Swift,” for which they interviewed Lee.

According to Lee, Swift invited Styles to join them for a session because they were “seeing” each other.

“She was seeing Harry Styles at the time, so he came to Topanga on her recommendation. She wrote a few songs with him, and it was the same thing – quick. But this time it was more directed by the management and label. They were after something specific.”

However, Styles is not credited as a co-writer on Red, nor anywhere else in Swift’s discography.

Reports of their romance began picking up steam in November 2012

Swift and Styles, 22 and 18 at the time, respectively, began to generate headlines just a few weeks before she released her fourth album Red.

Rumours began to swirl when Swift stepped out in Paris wearing a necklace with a paper aeroplane charm, identical to one that Styles had worn repeatedly, including in a photo shoot with Cosmopolitan UK. He also told the magazine, “There’s someone I like … but this girl … isn’t my ‘type’. It’s more about the person. How they act, their body language, if they can laugh at themselves.”

Shortly after, on November 15, 2022, Swift was spotted holding hands with Styles backstage at The X-Factor, where she gave the debut performance of “State of Grace”.

These reports were seemingly confirmed by X-Factor host Mario Lopez, who said that he asked Styles what brought him to the show, and in response, Styles pointed at Swift.

On December 2, 2012, they were photographed taking a stroll through Central Park

The iconic Central Park stroll has been widely reported as their “second date”. As E! News later wrote, the outing “threw two of the world’s biggest fandoms into pure chaos and turned the young couple into one of the paparazzi’s most popular subjects”.

A few weeks later, Swift and Styles were spotted on holiday together in Utah. They were joined by Swift’s brother Austin Swift, according to British media.

On December 31, 2012, Swift was booked to perform in Times Square for Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve on American channel ABC.

As the clock struck midnight, fans caught Swift and Styles sharing a kiss. Photos were shared on social media and quickly went viral. Later that night, they were seen heading back to a Manhattan hotel together.

News of their split broke in January 2013 after a romantic holiday went wrong

Swift and Styles reportedly took a New Year’s trip to the Caribbean, but they went home separately.

On January 7, 2013, British media published a photo of Swift leaving the island on a boat alone. An anonymous source said that she’d split from Styles after they had “an almighty row”. Sources confirmed the break-up to People.

Swift’s performance at the 2013 Grammys sparked speculation that it was inspired by Styles

Swift took the stage at the Grammy Awards on February 10, 2013, for a circus-inspired performance of her No 1 hit “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”.

In the bridge, Swift seemed to adopt a fake British accent while delivering a line of dialogue: “So he calls me up, and he’s like, ‘I still love you’. And I’m like, ‘I’m sorry, I’m busy opening up the Grammys, and we’re never getting back together, like, ever.”

Given the recent news of their split, this was reported as a not-so-subtle jab at Styles.

In an interview with USA Today to promote Red, Swift explained that while her songs tend to be diaristic, by the time they come out, the experiences usually aren’t recent.

When Swift released 1989, fans were convinced it was inspired by Styles

Swift released 1989 on October 27, 2014. The album loosely follows a break-up narrative, which is outlined in the liner notes.

Fans immediately began to speculate about “Style”, which describes an irresistible, on-and-off relationship. The secret message for the song reads, “Her heart belonged to someone who couldn’t stay.”

Swift has never explicitly confirmed who any of the songs on 1989 are about, but several clues also point to Styles as the muse behind “Out of the Woods”, a song about frantically protecting love from prying eyes.

In the second verse, she makes a reference to the silver necklace with the paper aeroplane charm that both Swift and Styles were spotted wearing in 2012.

In the bridge, Swift told Rolling Stone, she sings about a snowmobile accident that landed the ex-couple in the ER: “Remember when you hit the brakes too soon / 20 stitches in a hospital room.”

Back in December 2012, Styles was seen in public with a bandaged chin. British media reported at the time that he “injured himself on his recent skiing holiday with Taylor Swift”, though a hospital trip did not make the news.

Fans also believe that One Direction’s song “Perfect” was inspired by Swift

One Direction released “Perfect” as a single on October 16, 2015. Styles is credited as a co-writer on the track.

In the chorus, the boys sing about “secret little rendezvous” and “midnight driving with the windows down”, both prominent motifs in 1989.

In an album review, Digital Spy described “Perfect” as a “delicious retort” to “Style”.

They shared a sweet interaction at the 2021 Grammys

Both Swift and Styles were in the small crowd at the Grammy Awards on March 14, 2021, which was scaled down due to the coronavirus pandemic.

During a commercial break, cameras caught Styles and Swift chatting amicably at her table.

Later that night, Styles won his first-ever Grammy for “Watermelon Sugar”. When the cameras panned to Styles in the audience, it also caught Swift on her feet, giving him a standing ovation.

Styles denied that his 2022 song “Daylight” is about Swift

“Daylight” was released on May 20, 2022, with his third solo album, Harry’s House.

Styles told Howard Stern that “Daylight” was born out of a stream of consciousness – a rumination about a relationship with a woman who brushed him off, leaving him frustrated.

Stern asked if the song has any connection to Swift, who released her own song titled “Daylight” in 2019. (Swifties also noticed that Styles’ “Daylight” was placed at track five, which is a sacred spot on Swift’s albums).

“You’re reading too much into it,” Styles replied. “You know I’d love to tell you that you’re spot on, but I can’t. No, sorry.”

Styles won big at the Grammy Awards on February 5, 2023, taking home album of the year for Harry’s House.

Still, earlier that night, he took a moment to catch up with Swift during a commercial break. In a fan-recorded video, they can be seen chatting and laughing together.
