Harry Styles was left squirming when asked whether one of the songs on his self-titled debut album, was about his relationship with Taylor Swift.
Earlier this week, fans of the former One Direction singer were left divided when it was suggested that âTwo Ghostsâ alluded to his brief romance with Taylor, particularly as the lyrics seemed to reference her song, âStyleâ.
And when Harry appeared on Nick Grimshawâs Radio 1 breakfast show to talk about the album on Friday (12 May), the presenter couldnât resist asking his friend whether the rumours were true.
When Nick explicitly mentioned Taylor, a visibly nervous Harry explained: âI mean, I think [the song] is pretty, like, self-explanatory.â
Calling to someone off camera, Harry then joked âhelp me, Jeffrey!â, before adding: âI think, you know, itâs about⊠sometimes things change and you can be⊠do all the same things⊠and sometimes itâs just different, you know?â
Articulately put.
Nick then played âTwo Ghostsâ, introducing it as âthe one about Taylor Swiftâ, to which Harry let out a scream of âno!!â.
Harry and Taylor dated for a short spell at the end of 2012, after they were first photographed together in London.
He is also thought to have inspired songs on her most recent album, â1989â, including âOut Of The Woodsâ, âI Know Placesâ and, perhaps most significantly, âStyleâ, breaking his silence on their romance for the first time in a Rolling Stone interview last month.
Harryâs debut album, trailed by the chart-topping lead single âSign Of The Timesâ is out now.
