BBC Radio 1 - Nick Grimshaw - Calvin Harris provokes Taylor Swift's cheerleaders: unleash the Jedward!

Just a few weeks ago we looked at how not to break up on Twitter

Yesterday Calvin Harris decided to get on Twitter and air some stuff out about whether he was stealing Taylor Swift's writing credit on 'This Is What You Came For'

Calvin Harris said "And she sings on a little bit of it too 🙃 Amazing lyric writer and she smashed it as usual" on Twitter

Calvin Harris said "I wrote the music, produced the song, arranged it and cut the vocals though. And initially she wanted it kept secret, hence the pseudonym" on Twitter

Calvin Harris said "Hurtful to me at this point that her and her team would go so far out of their way to try and make ME look bad at this stage though 🤔" on Twitter

Calvin Harris said "I figure if you're happy in your new relationship you should focus on that instead of trying to tear your ex bf down for something to do"

Calvin Harris said "I know you're off tour and you need someone new to try and bury like Katy ETC but I'm not that guy, sorry. I won't allow it" on Twitter

Calvin Harris said "Please focus on the positive aspects of YOUR life because you've earned a great one" on Twitter

R1 Breakfast said "#TBT to when @grimmers chatted to Calvin about 'This Is What You Came For' in his LA pad..."

Jedward said "People should be Giving @taylorswift13 respect for being such a strong woman in a world thats full of male egos"

Jedward said its not fair @taylorswift13 is criticized for writing songs from a honest perspective when other singers just sing about twerking etc"

Jedward said "Keep writing your signature songs @taylorswift13 your genuine lyrics ring clear to so many people" on Twitter

Jedward said "Continue to get your love story back on track @taylorSwift13 with Tom you don’t need anyones approval to do whats right for you"

Jedward said "All of @taylorswift13 ex’s should just play down their armor&weapons & accept she’s a Goddess standing strong,who know's what she wants"

Jedward said "All the misconceptions about @taylorswift13 are stupid and created by people with no respect she's a lot more then whats put out there"

Jedward said "Keep listening to your dearest friends @taylorswift13 cause they know you best and stay away from the tangled web of bad blood"

"Its always @taylorswift13 who's the first to raise and lend a helping hand when there is problem’s in the music industry like what hero"

Jedward said "Shake it off" on Twitter

...what a wild day on Twitter.

Calvin Harris provokes Taylor Swift's cheerleaders: unleash the Jedward!

14 July 2016

Now we got pass-agg and we can't keep it in the bag

He decided to respond to article saying Taylor wrote the song - by agreeing that she did

Calvin Harris said "And she sings on a little bit of it too 🙃 Amazing lyric writer and she smashed it as usual" on Twitter

Calvin Harris said "I wrote the music, produced the song, arranged it and cut the vocals though. And initially she wanted it kept secret, hence the pseudonym" on Twitter

So far, so reasonable correction but then, this is a break up-

Calvin Harris said "Hurtful to me at this point that her and her team would go so far out of their way to try and make ME look bad at this stage though 🤔" on Twitter

Officer, we're detecting some 'Bad Blood'

Calvin Harris said "I figure if you're happy in your new relationship you should focus on that instead of trying to tear your ex bf down for something to do"

Oh, here it is

Calvin Harris said "I know you're off tour and you need someone new to try and bury like Katy ETC but I'm not that guy, sorry. I won't allow it" on Twitter

Lightning strikes every time she moves...

Calvin Harris said "Please focus on the positive aspects of YOUR life because you've earned a great one" on Twitter

Coincidentally, we had a chat to Calvin about the song awhile back

R1 Breakfast said "#TBT to when @grimmers chatted to Calvin about 'This Is What You Came For' in his LA pad..."

It's all looking a bit ropey for Taylor Swift - but wait, what is this?

Jedward said "People should be Giving @taylorswift13 respect for being such a strong woman in a world thats full of male egos"

It's Jedward with a reasoned argument about gender, power politics in the music industry and respect (although there's nothing wrong with singing about twerking)

Jedward said its not fair @taylorswift13 is criticized for writing songs from a honest perspective when other singers just sing about twerking etc"

Jedward said "Keep writing your signature songs @taylorswift13 your genuine lyrics ring clear to so many people" on Twitter

Jedward said "Continue to get your love story back on track @taylorSwift13 with Tom you don’t need anyones approval to do whats right for you"

Jedward said "All of @taylorswift13 ex’s should just play down their armor&weapons & accept she’s a Goddess standing strong,who know's what she wants"

This is how you do a posi-tweet, isn't it?

Jedward said "All the misconceptions about @taylorswift13 are stupid and created by people with no respect she's a lot more then whats put out there"

They just keep going

Jedward said "Keep listening to your dearest friends @taylorswift13 cause they know you best and stay away from the tangled web of bad blood"

"Its always @taylorswift13 who's the first to raise and lend a helping hand when there is problem’s in the music industry like what hero"

Indeed.

Jedward said "Shake it off" on Twitter

We're not sure an artist who's earnt twice as much as Adele this year needs either Calvin or Jedward's endorsement but...
