Reportedly, the pop stars briefly dated between 2012 and 2013. Reacting to the relationship the former One Direction singer spoke about it in an interview on The Howard Stern Show. “The only time you really think, ’ Is this song too personal?’ is if you think about, ‘Is this going to be really annoying for the other person?’ Because I do [care],” said Harry Styles. 

In the lengthy interview with Howard Stern, Styles was also asked if he finds it upsetting when fans speculate over whether he inspired certain songs by Taylor Swift. “No, it doesn’t upset me,” replied the singer. He later added, “I think about what it means to me to write a song about somebody else, and for someone else to do that, I think it’s flattering.” He also said, that even if the song isn’t that flattering, you still spend time on it, and ultimately, using Taylor as an example, she’s a great songwriter.
