It looks like Taylor Swift’s ex has assumed the position of scorned lover way before Swiftie even had a chance — uh oh. Calvin Harris has officially beat Taylor Swift to the breakup song punch, and apparently, the song is about her cheating.
According to TMZ, the track is called “Ole” and written from the perspective of a cheating lover’s side piece (read: Tom Hiddleston). Normally, we’d take this with a grain of salt. Just because someone wrote a song doesn’t mean it’s based on anything true, but the lyrics seem to curiously reference Harris and Swift’s relationship.
Remember when Swift and Harris celebrated their year anniversary on a tropical island, and Swiftie posted a ton of (since deleted) pictures? The song seems to reference that with this line: “I see online that you begun to be a good girl and take trips with your boyfriend. Being attentive, continue to pretend …”
The song continues: “You’ve hidden my name in your phone so you can call me to tell me you’ve been going through hell. Left him alone and you booked in a hotel.”
Here’s the kicker — the song may even contain a reference to Hiddleston’s Thor character, Loki. The song goes, “Low key you won’t tell none of your friends about me.” Get it? Low key. Loki. Wow!
Harris already went south of the border to film a video for the song, which features singer John Newman on vocals. Hopefully, we’ll get to hear the track soon.
UPDATE 12:40 P.M., July 7th:
A Taylor Swift source has just told TMZ that Harris penned the song before Swift was spotted at the Met Ball with Tom Hiddleston. According to the source, Taylor knew all about “Ole” and “if Calvin claims he wasn’t working on this before the Met Ball, he’s lying.” Interesting, but that still doesn’t prove it’s not about Taylor. Maybe Harris just had a hunch?
What do you think?
