Rep Confirms Taylor Swift wrote Calvin Harris's song "This is What You Came For", made the demo, and sneakily provided some vocals for the finished (she sings the deeper you-ou-ou-ouuu parts it seems). They didn't want people to know and have it overshadow the song.

TMZ broke the story yesterday, but now Taylor's rep has confirmed.

"Taylor Swift wrote "This Is What You Came For" under the pseudonym Nils Sjoberg," the singer's rep confirms exclusively to PEOPLE.

Earlier on Wednesday, TMZ reported that Swift "wrote the song, sat down at a piano and did a demo into her iPhone," which she then sent to Harris.



After recording a full demo, they agreed to keep the collaboration on the down-low, but Swift was hurt after Harris did an interview and said he couldn't foresee working with his then-girlfriend in the future.

"You know, we haven't even spoken about it. I can't see it happening though," Harris told Ryan Seacrest while promoting the song.

After news broke Wednesday Taylor Swift wrote her ex-boyfriend Calvin Harris' hit, "This Is What You Came For," the producer and deejay took to Twitter to tell his side of the story.

"And she sings on a little bit of it too. Amazing lyrics writer and she smashed it as usual," he wrote on Twitter. "I wrote the music, produced the song, arranged it and cut the vocals though. And initially she wanted it kept secret, hence the pseudonym."

Harris continued, saying it is "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."

Woman takes credit for her work, man can’t handle it, throws a tantrum

TMZ: "BTW … Taylor has the right to prohibit Calvin from performing the song, but she hasn’t and doesn’t plan to exercise that right. Ironically, Calvin once wrote a song with then-GF Rita Ora and when they broke up he yanked her right to perform it."

but Rih made it smash

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

I really love this song. Thanks Taytay.

 

[Jean Grey Will Rise]

I don't think this song would be as magical without Rihanna's contribution.

 

[gerg]

I don't think this song would be as magical without Rihanna's contribution.

I know that Swift isn't the best singer but I don't think that Rihanna is significantly better. It'd be interesting at least to hear it being sung by Swift.

 

[RevoDS]

At this point, why isn't every guy running away from her? At 26, she still shits on all of her exes as publicly as possible

 

[Malvolio]

Shouldn't there be an "allegedly" in there somewhere?

If the worst thing that happens out of a breakup is a chart topping song I'd say that's a pretty amicable break up in a relative sense.

 

[harSon]

Harris continued, saying it is "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."

You're surprised that someone whose career was built on singing about her exes dirty laundry would publicly try and make you look bad after splitting with her? Really?

 

[Acorn]

The fuck is her deal?

 

[BKSmash]

Calvin mad he's been exposed

Lol what? She's been shading him in the public eye ever since they broke up.

I can't stand Taylor thinking she's a huge and loved artist/person. She just seems very diva (the bad kind) like.

 

[Kibbles]

Shouldn't there be an "allegedly" in there somewhere?

? No. TMZ broke the alleged story but then Taylor confirmed it, followed by Calvin confirming it as well on twitter.

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

Aryan goddesses can do no wrong.

 

[Bit-Bit]

Can someone explain this to me?

 

[Kibbles]

Lol what? She's been shading him in the public eye ever since they broke up.

How? lol just because she's with Tom Hiddleston? She moved on and has another man she's been paying attention to, he went off on a ask and tell on instagram with fans and replied to a bunch of people about their relationship and shit talked her.

 

[DMczaf]

Loki better cover his bases.

This girl burns the whole Forrest down when relationships end

 

[Acorn]

Nah man he got xxxxxxxposed bruh! Something queen something slay something

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

Because her relationships are fake. Either $$$ or PR for dating a mega popstar.

 

[Acorn]

Swift throws ex under bus again.

 

[BKSmash]

Aryan goddesses can do no wrong.

LMAO

 

[Malvolio]

Whoops, saw him say he wrote the music in his tweet.

 

[therealist]

Taylor lost my respect after the Kanye fiasco where she 100% lied about never hearing the Famous song. She has no credibility and comes off as spiteful.

 

[Acorn]

Whoops, saw him say he wrote the music in his tweet.

He's a producer/dj he made the beat.

Everything I have heard about her describes her as a privileged rich white brat.

 

[The Faceless Master]

TSwizzle is the most gangsta artist out there

bodying fools left and right

Loki gonna get killed offscreen if they break up

Indeed, so she wrote the lyrics and he made the cut.

She didn't listen to the song, he called her up to tell her about it, but she never heard it. She didn't know he was going to call her a bitch

 

[Solo]

Remember when Taylor Swift was this cute little country artist?

Now she's a brand or corporation or something. I still haven't figured out what's in it for her to "date" famous gay men though.

 

[Volimar]

Considering that almost nothing she does has any effect on anyone here at all, it's kind of surprising the hate boner that some GAFfers seem to have for her.

 

[jmood88]

Loki better cover his bases.

This girl burns the whole Forrest down when relationships end

Infinity War Part 2 is actually going to be about Loki destroying the universe because of his break-up.

Apparently she's gay too and does it for PR/writing material.

Of the Aryan race.

Yeah because he didn't want to affect the relationship. I'm not sure what the big deal is people write songs and others sing all the time. I'm sure she's ghost wrote tons of stuff.

 

[Solo]

That would make sense I suppose but I didn't want to sound like I had a tinfoil hat on and suggest it.

Whatever makes you happy (rich).

 

[gamerMan]

She looks so harmless but underneath Taylor is a beast.

 

[Silver Arrows]

Considering that almost nothing she does has any effect on anyone here at all, it's kind of surprising the hate boner that some GAFfers seem to have for her.

Or people as a whole.

 

[Grizzo]

In any case, that's not a very good song so...

it's still another smash hit for Rihanna though

 

[Ashhong]

Indeed, so she wrote the lyrics and he made the cut.

Sounds like she also made the melody on her piano. He took that melody and ran with it.

I always found it weird that it was Rihanna singing. Sounds nothing like her or her style. Not sure if related to the fact that Taylor wrote it

 

[Extra Sauce]

*Photo of Harris meeting with Tom to ask Swift to stop*

This is more like a picture of Tom when Taylor's next boyfriend comes to him for relationship advice next year.

 

[hughesta]

Taylor seems like a fucking snake.

 

[Yaboosh]

Everything I have heard about her describes her as a privileged rich white brat.

Yeah, i heard some rumors that she was white too. Shocking really, it's always the ones you least suspect.

Really? I wouldn't have ever noticed! Earth shattering information, thank you! I'll sell this to the presses!

 

[Nilaul]

So Calvin broke up with Taylor?

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

What I get from this thread is that some people are way too invested in these things. Why care who taylor is dating?

The hate in here is real, and embarrassing.

His contract was up.

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

but Rih made it smash

Exactly.... Like? Rihanna made the song. Who cares about Taylor's contributions? She would of sounds horrible anyways compared to Rih who is known for these type of hits.

 

[BKSmash]

She didn't listen to the song, he called her up to tell her about it, but she never heard it. She didn't know he was going to call her a bitch

So who is your insider? Your dad, a friend or a third cousin?
