Calvin Harris’s Wife, Vick Hope, Listens to His Ex-Girlfriend Taylor Swift’s Music “As Soon As” He Leaves

Some pleasures are guiltier than others. And for Vick Hope, wife of Calvin Harris, hers include songs by a certain famous ex-flame of her spouse.

“As soon as my husband goes away, I listen to Taylor Swift,” Hope revealed Monday on the BBC radio show she co-hosts, Going Home with Vick, Katie, and Jamie.

“That’s just when I get my little fill—just a little fill,” she said. “Just a couple of songs, get it out of my system and then it’s done.”

Swift and Harris dated in 2015 and 2016, even collaborating on the eventual Rihanna-Harris track, “This Is What You Came For.” Swift has a writing credit on the song under a pseudonym, Nils Sjoberg, and, in a now-deleted 2016 tweet after their breakup, Harris said she “sings on a little bit of it too” and added that Swift “smashed it as usual.” Sounds nice! Reader, it didn’t stay nice.

As the saying goes, all is fair in love, war, and deleted social media missives about your also-very-famous ex-girlfriend. Harris’s thread, which linked to an article about Swift’s contributions to the track, continued.

“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,” he wrote. “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…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.”

He’s referencing, of course, the prior bad blood between Swift and fellow popster Katy Perry, allegedly the basis for Swift’s song—you guessed it!—”Bad Blood.” For what it’s worth, Swift and Perry seem to have buried the hatchet, with Perry enthusiastically sharing selfies of her and Swift at an Eras Tour date in Australia earlier this year.

Meanwhile, Swift walked right past Harris in the audience at this year’s Grammy Awards, where later in the evening he watched her scoop up a record fourth Album of the Year award. 

Of course, Harris isn’t the only of Swift’s ex-flames to marry a fan. Taylor Lautner, who was linked to Swift for a few months in late 2009, is married to Taylor Dome, who has made no secret of her love for Swift. Lautner and Swift are also friendly, with Lautner even making a surprise appearance and doing backflips onstage at her July 7, 2023 Eras Tour stop at Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium to introduce the “I Can See You” music video, which he also appeared in. Taylors gotta stick together, you know? (The very next night, Swift’s latest beau, Travis Kelce, attended the show as a fan and legendarily shot his shot with the singer. It appears to have worked out so far.)

The three Taylors are now friends, with Dome saying last summer of the musician, “She’s hysterical. It’s been so fun to get to know her.”
