Now that Taylor Swift has broken up with Calvin Harris, her boyfriend of just over a year, she feels comfortable telling the press that, although Swift did truly love Harris, she was not entirely devastated when he was injured in a horrific car accident on May 20, less than two weeks before countless reports of the split were to surface. In fact, Taylor said, she welcomed the crash and thought it might bring her and Calvin closer together.

“She was hoping that the car accident would actually be a way for them to get back together,” an inside source told Hollywood Life.

Wait, what? Get back together?

Well, the source also said that Swift and Harris had already broken up right before the crash, even though they did not go public with the news until yesterday.

The testimony, if it is accurate, lends a lot more credibility to the idea that Swift and Harris are “never, ever, ever getting back together,” as Taylor herself might say. In fact, that is likely one of the reasons Swift and Harris waited so long to announce they had parted ways; they did not want to get the media worked up over a Taylor Swift-Calvin Harris breakup until they were sure it was going to stick.

But if they were broken up, Taylor Swift news followers may ask, what about all the reports saying that Swift and Harris were inseparable during his healing process. She even forewent the Billboard Music Awards to be by his side!

The Hollywood Life source explained that Taylor and her allegedly ex-beau had indeed been together nearly 24/7 after the crash, but it had not been a mutual decision.

“Calvin kept a lot of things from her on how he was feeling physically because he didn’t want her to cling to him. He appreciated her concern but didn’t want her to care for him.”

It sounds like Taylor thought if she could be attentive enough and show Calvin he was her first priority, he might change his mind. Sadly, Harris had made up his mind and would not budge.

“He was convinced that they needed to and still need to be separated, even though she was hoping that the car accident would actually be a way for them to get back together. She is devastated over it all and really wishes he would change his mind,” the source concluded.

Poor Taylor Swift! At least no one can say she didn’t try her best to preserve the relationship.

One might expect that, after Taylor gave up so much to be there for Harris, the ensuing breakup might be loud and full of obscenities, but a source tells E! News that Swift and Harris’s parting was actually fairly amiable.

“Taylor and [Calvin] had no big blowout fight, but the romance just was not there anymore for them. [Calvin] is the one that ended it. It was all done in a very mature fashion.”

Many other sources have suggested instead that the couple’s differences were due to Taylor Swift wanting to get married and have children and Calvin Harris wanting to stay single and unencumbered.

“Taylor was starting to pressure Calvin into walking down the aisle, and he just felt that he wasn’t ready yet,” another Hollywood Life source said exclusively.

“He’s still, and always will be, career-focused and doesn’t want to settle down just yet. He envisaged getting married at 35-plus, and wasn’t comfortable talking about getting hitched after just a little over a year of dating.”

Taylor Swift herself is reportedly devastated by the breakup and is disappointed her time with Calvin after the crash could not make him change his mind.
