Not only did Calvin Harris join in applauding Taylor Swift when she arrived at the 2024 Grammys, but the “Sweet Nothing” hitmaker also comfortably laughed as Trevor Noah made jokes about Swift dating NFL players. Perhaps part of the reason Harris was so at ease was because of his date — his wife, Vick Hope. The pair married in September 2023, and the Grammys was their first red-carpet event. Harris and Hope were not shy about packing on the PDA as they posed for photos together. Even though Harris and his wife joined the crowd in saluting Swift, the “Cruel Summer” singer did not stop to acknowledge her ex-boyfriend, as several fans noted.
Perhaps there was some residual bad blood. Harris famously blasted Swift in a rant on X, because the singer publicly took credit for writing his song “This Is What You Came For.” At first, Swift used a pseudonym because the pair did not want to release the track as a couple. “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,” Harris wrote in since-deleted tweets from July 2016 (via Elle). “I know you’re off tour and you need someone new to try and bury like Katy ETC but I’m not that guy,” the producer added.
Later, Harris tried to publicly atone for his online tirade.
