Taylor swift dating a black guy

Because Tay doesn't actually mention the names of her ex boyfriends in her songs, it can sometimes be a little hard to figure out who the song is about. So we've done the hard work for you!

We've compiled a list of Taylor Swift's ex relationships, her boyfriend now and what songs she wrote about them.

Joe Jonas 

Dated from: July 2008-October 2008

Former Disney Channel star Joe Jonas broke Tay's heart when he dumped her via a 27 second phone call after meeting actress Camilla Belle.

She dished about the "dramatic and crazy aftermath" of this on her Fearless album, telling her fans about how he was slowly slipping away.

Songs "Last Kiss" and "Forever and Always" expressed her scathing opinions of the relationship. "Holy Ground" was written later and seems to be more positive, as she sings about what she loved about their relationship.

Lucas Till

Dated from: March 2009-April 2009

Swift fell for Lucas Till when he co-starred on her music video for "You Belong With Me".

This was a short fling and didn't cause enough drama to justify a song. Till stated the reason they broke up was because they were better off friends.

Taylor Lautner

Dated from: August 2009-December 2009

Swift met the dreamy Twilight heart throb Taylor Lautner in her dressing room on the set of rom-com Valentine's Day. Known by fans as TaySquared, the couple dates for a few months before things fizzled. They allegedly called it quits after Lautner's 19th birthday party because he liked her more than she liked him.  

Their breakup spawned Swift's song "Back to December" which she released in 2010.  

John Mayer

Dated from: December 2009-February 2010

Swift's rendezvous with the brooding older man John Mayer, 11 years her senior ended on a sour note (providing great inspiration for several songs).  

"Dear John", a 7 minute ballad, gave Mayer a very public dressing down and dished the details of their dramatic breakup. With lyrics like, "Don't you think I was too young to be messed with? The girl in the dress cried the whole way home. I should've known."

Cory Monteith

Dated from April 2010-May 2010.

Neither publicly confirmed they were dating, despite both of them blushing when Ellen DeGeneres asked them about their relationship.

It is speculated that the song "Mine" off her "Speak Now" is all about what could have been if the relationship lasted.

Jake Gyllenhaal

Dated from October 2010-January 2011.  

Swift and Gyllenhaal had a short-lived relationship full of PDA.  Rumours say that Gyllenhaal broke up with Swift because of the age difference.

Connections were made to Gyllenhaal when TSwift mentioned in an NPR interview, that 'The Last Time", was about an "experience I had with someone who was kind of this unreliable guy. You never know when he's going to leave, you never know when he's going to come back, but he always does come back."

There is also speculation that "Put my name at the top of your list" is reminding Gyllenhaal to think about her when he is working of movies in far flung locations, with gorgeous women throwing themselves at him.

Eddie Redmayne

Dated from October 2011-January 2012

"My Week With Marilyn" star Eddie Redmayne has only recently stopped denying that he dated Swift for a few months in 2011.  Regardless, he hasn't made enough impact to get a song written in his honour.

Zac Efron

Dated from February 2012-March 2012

Both deny the rumours that they were an item on the promotional circuit for their movie "The Lorax".   Efron doesn't feature in any of the songs on "Red", but the duo did write a song denying that they were dating on the The Ellen DeGeneres Show in a parody of Foster the People's "Pumped Up Kicks".

Conor Kennedy

Dated from July 2012-October 2012

Swift was criticised strongly for being a cradle snatcher regarding her whirlwind summer romance with 18-year-old Conor Kennedy.  Four years his senior, sources say they broke up because she came on too strong, and was obsessed with dating a member of the Kennedy family rather than Conor himself.   

Taylor explained in an interview with Ryan Seacrest that her single "Begin Again" is about when you dust yourself off after getting through a really bad relationship and it seems that Conor was the reason for lyrics like "it's strange that you think I'm funny 'cause he never did".

Harry Styles

Dated from November 2012-January 2013

Taylor had a brief, rocky relationship with Harry Styles from One Direction.  They were under intense media scrutiny, even before they were 'official'. The couple reportedly split after a row on their New Years holiday in the British Virgin Islands.   Taylor's nagging and constant quizzing about Harry's womanising reputation were likely to have been the cause of their break-up.

Styles was the inspo for "I Knew You Were Trouble" off her "Red" album.  Swift tweeted the lyric from the song ..."til you put me down", for fans to know it was over.   Another two years later, in here "1989" highlight, "Out Of The Woods" is assumed to be about Styles because of lyrics referencing their snowmobile accident and December romance.

Calvin Harris

Dated from February 2015-June 2016

Swift met Calvin Harris through mutual friend, Ellie Goulding, at the Brit Awards in February of 2015.  Sparks flew, and Harris became one of her longest relationships. This match made in musical heaven was all over Instagram, with happy couple snaps of holidays and one year anniversary celebrations.  Ongoing issues contributed to their ugly breakup (which ended up being all over Twitter), the main one being that Harris was intimidated by her success.

The music video for "Look What You Made Me Do", makes a dig at Harris when she crawls out of a graveyard next to headstone reading "Nils Sjoberg," her pseudonym used to disguise her identity for writing the lyrics to Calvin Harris and Rihanna's hit, "This is What You Came For".

Tom Hiddleston

Dated from June 2016-September 2016

Days before her public break-up with Calvin Harris, Swift was spotted dancing with Tom Hiddleston at  the Met Gala (May 2016). Straight after her breakup with Harris, Hiddleswift were spotting canoodling on a Rhode Island beach.  They had a short intense romance, meeting parents and travelling all over the world.

Their amicable breakup was due to Hiddleston making the relationship more public than Swift was comfortable with, and hasn't inspired any songs that we know of.

Joe Alwyn

Dated from ?May 2017? and still going strong....

Its hard to know when these two actually started dating as it was kept on the down low, and treated like a military mission by Swift's security.  Its speculated that a few of the tracks of her Reputation album are about Alway including:

'Don't Blame Me,' references the future and gives clues that she is talking about her current relationship with the lyrics "Don't blame me, your love made me crazy / My drug is my baby / I'll be using for the rest of my life"

'Delicate', refers to how Alwyn liked her despite the bad reputation she had at the time they met, as well as drawing attention to his striking blue eyes with the lyrics"My reputation's never been worse, so you must like me for me / Dark jeans and your Nikes, look at you / Oh damn, never seen that colour blue."

'Call It What You Want' has a mixture of references  about the Kimye feud and about Joe. Lyrics that suggest it may be about Joe refer to how he is not as famous as some of her previous beaus are, "My baby's fly like a jet stream/ High above the whole scene".  

Swift told fans that her song 'Gorgeous' was about Joe during one of her secret listening sessions.

Has Taylor Swift dated any girls? Has she had a girlfriend?

Whilst fans have definitely shipped Taylor Swift to have a girlfriend, it's not likely. 

In 2014 TMZ shared a video of Taylor and Victoria's Secret model Karlie Kloss at a concert, where they were reported to have shared a kiss.
