The moment mirrors Swift and Styles’ reunion at the Grammys two years ago, when it was Swift who was honored with album of the year for Folklore. Just like this year, the two were also spotted on video having a friendly conversation at the 2021 awards, except Harry was the one to approach Taylor.

The “Anti-Hero” singer — whose “All Too Well (10 Minute Version)” was nominated for song of the year, which went to Bonnie Raitt’s “Just Like That” — was also filmed passionately applauding Styles after his performance of “As It Was,” giving him a standing ovation. Now that snowmobile accidents, paper airplane necklaces and dozens of songs rumored to have been written about each other (looking at you, “Style” and “Two Ghosts”) are simply things of the past, fans can rest easy knowing that the two pop stars are friendlier than ever.

Taylor Swift Gives Ex Harry Styles a Standing Ovation as He Wins Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album

Eliza Thompson February 5, 2023 Us magazine (x)

Showing her support! Taylor Swift stood up and clapped for ex-boyfriend Harry Styles as he won a trophy for Best Pop Vocal Album at the 2023 Grammys on Sunday, February 5.

“Thank you so much,” the former One Direction member, 29, said during his acceptance speech. “This album, from start to finish, has been the greatest experience of my life. From making it with two of my best friends to playing it for people has been the greatest joy I could have asked for.”

The Don’t Worry Darling star went on to thank “everyone who inspired this album” and all of the friends who “supported” him during the recording process. “I wouldn’t be here without you,” he added. “Thank you so much.”

When Styles’ name was called as the winner — he beat ABBA, Adele, Coldplay and Lizzo — the “Anti-Hero” singer, 33, jumped to her feet and applauded the “Watermelon Sugar” crooner, wearing a big smile on her face

The U.K. native and the “Maroon” artist first sparked romance rumors in December 2012 when they were spotted strolling through New York City’s Central Park. The duo called it quits just one month later, but their relationship remained a subject of fan speculation for years. When Swift released her album 1989 in 2014, some listeners theorized that tracks including “Out of the Woods” and “Style” were about her fling with the former boy bander.

Styles, for his part, has said that he doesn’t blame his ex-girlfriend for writing about her relationships, even if that means he’s sometimes a subject of her lyrics. “We always say that we write from personal experience, and I think everyone does,” he explained during a 2014 Google Hangout. “So, it would be hypocritical to say ‘Oh, you can’t write songs.’ And she’s really good, so, they’re good songs. I’m really lucky in that sense.”

Three years later, he noted that he was proud to be a small piece of Swift’s success, though he admitted he didn’t really know if any of her songs are about him. “I’m lucky if everything [we went through] helped create those songs,” he told Rolling Stone in April 2017. “That’s what hits your heart. That’s the stuff that’s hardest to say, and it’s the stuff I talk least about. That’s the part that’s about the two people.”

Tay Tay & Harry SECRETLY DATING for 3 months! Harry's calls to Taylor never: ‘We are never getting back TOGETHER!'

Tay eats her words and gives Hazza another go...

Having split from Harry Styles two years ago, Taylor Swift would have us believe she’s sworn off men for good.

But NW can exclusively reveal that one charming chancer has managed to get her to rethink her vow of singledom and — surprise! — it’s Harry himself!

Despite ending their brief romance last year after a fiery New Year’s bust-up in the Caribbean — leaving Taylor, 24, so heartbroken she hasn’t dated anyone since — Mr. Styles has had a change of heart.

After spotting the leggy babe on the cover of Rolling Stone in September, lusty Hazza, 20, reached out to his ex, pleading for a second chance. And now pals say they’ve been dating on the sly ever since, with Harry bombarding his ex with gifts, flirty calls, and Skype chats!

He even penned the track I Love You for US duo Alex & Sierra about the mistakes he made, writing, “Sometimes when I hear your name, a smile creeps on my face.”

Yep, he’s keen alright — and Tay’s early reluctance only spurred him on.

“Harry’s been plaguing Taylor with texts and calls, begging for a rematch,” says our exclusive insider. “Taylor swore up and down that she’d never give him another chance to hurt her, but he’s worn her down.

“She’s been talking about how much he’s matured and how different he seems. Her friends are taking bets on how long it will be before they step out together in public.”

Pulling out all the stops, Harry even sent 1989 red roses to congratulate Tay — at a cost of nearly $5000! He’s also praised her publicly. When asked how he felt about Taylor dissing him in songs, Harry replied, “She’s really good, so they’re good songs. I’m really lucky in that sense.” Very smooth, Hazza!

And this time, the ex-playboy promises he’s a changed man. “He’s definitely tidied up his act as far as his womanizing goes and knows he’s made some big mistakes — losing Taylor being one of them,” says our insider.

“Taylor hasn’t dated anyone since Harry. Even though she’s trash-talked him to the world, she’s never really gotten over him. And he’s extremely charming when he wants to be. There’s a reason he’s such a success with women — he knows how to make them putty in his hands.”

Taylor's Harry makeover

Harry pulled out all the stops to impress multi Grammy award-winner Taylor on her visit.

After treating her to a slap-up meal at The Rising Sun in Derbyshire’s Peak District, the pair made their way home to his mum Anne – via Tesco.

At the supermarket, 18-yearold Harry splashed out £3.89 on a tub of VO5 hair styling wax while Taylor wandered down the aisles looking at the vegetables.

Last night pub manager Sarah Walker revealed the celebrity couple met up with Harry’s sister, Gemma, and her boyfriend at their local in Hope Valley.

Pub regular Gemma strolled in at 7.30pm just before Harry and Taylor arrived in his Range Rover Sport. After ordering a round of soft drinks, they sat in the window, next to the crackling log fire.

'Taylor said she loved being in Britain .. she’s a real honey' CAROL WALKER

The showbiz pair polished off a Yorkshire pudding and onion gravy starter, followed by roast turkey with all the trimmings for Harry and a whole lemon sole for his size-eight girlfriend.

Shunning the champagne, they stuck to non-alcoholic J2Os all evening. Taylor, who is 23 today, told pub-goers she was looking forward to the couple’s trip to Windermere in the Lake District and celebrating her birthday.

But it seems they will spend Christmas an ocean apart as Taylor revealed plans to fly home to Nashville to spend the festive season with her family.

Sarah, 37, said: “Taylor said she was loving being in Britain and she also seemed to like being in the country.

“And she was excited about her birthday and about flying home for Christmas. She said she didn’t mind the cold, but it will be a lot warmer in Nashville. They were both lovely and she’s a honey.”

After posing for pics and signing diners’ menus, Harry and Taylor settled the bill – which came in at just over £100 along with a handsome tip.

Yesterday, the tactile couple, who have now been dating for a month, enjoyed an afternoon feeding the swans and doves on Lake Windermere.

One swan even pecked at the brand- new £ 995 Burberry handbag Taylor was carrying – a birthday gift from her new beau – as the country singer gamely batted the creature away.

Giggling as they then fed the birds in the town centre, they were also spotted outside the Pandora jewellery shop by store manager Claire Dibbs.

Claire, 24, told the Mirror: “I was hyperventilating – I just never expected to see them.

“Taylor introduced herself – she was really lovely. She said they were just here for the day and I think they were there with his parents. She had a lot of bags from Beatrix Potter World. I saw some cuddly toys poking out of the top of the bag.

“They’d done a lot of shopping. Taylor said she loved the area and said it was really pretty.” Harry and Taylor first met in America i n April when Harry was on tour with One Direction.

After going on a couple of ‘secret dates’, they reportedly split up after the heartthrob was spotted kissing American model Emma Ostilly in New Zealand. But they were spotted dating in New York’s Central Park recently.

The date came hours before One Direction’s sell-out gig in front of 20,000 fans at the Madison Square Garden. The loved-up singers gazed into each others eyes, stopping to chat to some kids and to watch the sea lions at the zoo.

And last week the rumours they were an item were confirmed when she flew him in her private jet from New York to London to attend the Jingle Bell Ball at London’s O2 arena.

Harry is the One for my star pal

Justin lifts lid on secret admirer

Moodie, Clemmie; Tetteh, The Daily Mirror; London (UK). 5 Apr 2012

THERE used to be only one di­rec­tion pre- pubescent girls were head­ing in... and that was Justin Bieber’s.

But now hy­per­ven­ti­lat­ing teenage Amer­i­cans flock in­stead to the Brits from One Di­rec­tion – and Harry Styles in par­tic­u­lar.

And, ac­cord­ing to Justin, 17- year- old Harry ap­peals to su­per­stars as well as the or­di­nary girl on the street

Bieber re­veals: “I al­ready know one of the big­gest artists in the world thinks Harry is so hot, but I have been sworn to se­crecy.”

Mmm, Madonna’s a pal of the Bieb and she likes a toy­boy. Per­haps the 94 53- year- old Queen Mother of Pop fan­cies a change of Styles?

Justin – now a griz­zled veteran of the US show­biz scene at the grand old age of 18 – went on: “The sin­gle guys from One Di­rec­tion are go­ing to have a lot of fun. They look great, they sound great and, when you add their Bri­tish ac­cents into the mix, the Amer­i­can girls are go­ing crazy for them. Sure you need the tal­ent, but you need to win over the Amer­i­can public, that’s what it is all about. One Di­rec­tion are gen­uine good guys. The in­dus­try needs a fresh boy band, and by the end of this year they will be the big­gest boy band in the world.” Justin, of course, isn isn’t short be of fans him­self. He sold 521,000 downloads of his new sin­gle Boyfriend in its de­but week.

One Di­rec­tion should try and per­suade Justin to come on board and join them – then they’d go on to con­quer the en­tire uni­verse.

TAYLOR WANTS TO SEE EVEN MORE OF HARRY

Moodie, Clemmie; Tetteh, The Daily Mirror; London (UK). 11 Apr 2012

IT'S been the question on One Directioners' lips across the planet.

Now, one week after Justin Bieber let slip "one of the world's biggest artists" fancies Harry Styles, I can reveal the identity of said mystery woman.

*Drum roll*...step forward, country star Taylor Swift.

The six-time Grammy winner (right) has been lusting over the cherub-faced one, desperately trying to bag herself a date.

And, darnit, had she been Down Under this week, she would have got a eyeful of Harry and his bandmates as they let it all hang out in Sydney Harbour.

Singer Taylor, 22, who was recently awarded a philanthropic gong by First Lady Michelle Obama, spent 15 minutes at last month's Nickelodeon awards plotting an introduction c/o the Canadian foetus.

Says my backstage mole: "Taylor is a huge One Direction fan and was excitedly bopping along to the boys when they performed on stage. Then she was chatting to Justin and told him how hot she found Harry. Justin was joking about trying to keep his own girlfriend, Selena Gomez, away from the band because she, too, loves them.

"Taylor went backstage and was hanging around by the group's dressing room, and said a quick 'hello' to the guys.

"She started dramatically fanning herself afterwards, making out like she was overwhelmed, which got everyone laughing.

"She really likes Harry but made Justin promise not to go on the record about it." Oooops.

And it seems the Love Story star may be in with a shout as the 18-year-old heart-throb is already following her on Twitter.

And he has namechecked the statuesque starlet. Chatting about the group's performance at the Nickelodeon awards, Harry said: "I feel good. I think the people who were getting involved are all great performers, so for them to enjoy our performance was nice. Katy Perry was there and Selena Gomez. There was Ashley Tisdale.

"Taylor Swift was dancing as well..."

Contrary to internet rumours, Harry is NOT dating US singer Lily Halpern after his split from Xtra Factor host Caroline Flack.

In fact, it looked like he didn't have a care in the world as he joined bandmates Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, Liam Payne and Zayn Malik for a four-hour bask aboard a swanky yacht in Sydney Harbour.

GLAMOUR: You always look wonderful. How do you do it?

Taylor Swift: I think it's important to let your skin breathe. Often, when I have a day off, I don't wear any makeup at all. And when I do wear makeup, I prefer to use a tinted moisturizer instead of a regular foundation. I think it's better for your skin. One of my favorites is definitely Kiehl's.

GLAMOUR: And if you really want to put yourself in the spotlight?

Taylor Swift: Then I always use a black eyeliner and a good red lipstick. The eyeliner is called 'LineExact Liquid Liner' by Covergirl, it looks like a felt-tip pen and is really easy to apply. My favorite lipstick is 'Hot' by Covergirl.  

GLAMOUR: What other beauty products can you find in your handbag?

Taylor Swift: Definitely lip balm and perfume. I keep all my perfume samples in my handbag. I get them all from Elizabeth Arden, who we work with.

GLAMOUR: … like your perfume 'Wonderstruck'. What do you associate with the scent?

Taylor Swift:  'Wonderstruck' describes the feeling when you meet someone for the first time. It invites you to dream about how this encounter might develop. It's a really sweet scent.

GLAMOUR: How did it feel to create a perfume?

Taylor Swift: It was amazing how many different processes are needed to produce a perfume. You have to create the scent, come up with a name, take photos, design the bottle, design the packaging and so on. There is a lot of planning and decision-making involved. It was a lot of fun to be part of this process.

GLAMOUR: You often change your look. Sometimes you style your hair in wild curls, sometimes completely straightened.

Taylor Swift: I like to play with different styles. At the moment, I like the look I'm wearing today the most: sleek, light waves and straightened bangs. It's simply timeless.  

GLAMOUR: What do you do on bad hair days?

Taylor Swift: I either hide my hair under a hat or I put my hair in a ponytail. That always works.

GLAMOUR: Do you have a lucky charm?

Taylor Swift: I have a lucky number. My lucky number is 13. Whenever I see the number somewhere, I see it as a sign. As a sign that things are moving in the right direction and everything will be okay. For example, at the Grammys in 2010. We won four awards in one night, which was really crazy. I saw 13 over and over again, on street signs, on walls. Every time I looked at the clock, the time had something to do with 13. Even here, when I came to the library, I browsed through the books and picked up a book that had the number 13 on it. That shows that it stays that way, that I am really, really lucky.

GLAMOUR: You are really successful in Europe. How important is Europe and especially Germany to you?
