Calvin Harris and Taylor Swift’s messy break-up dominated headlines for months this year, reaching fever pitch when her camp leaked the fact that she secretly wrote his hit This Is What You Came For and was credited under a pseudonym.
Neither Harris or Swift necessarily handled the split with grace, but it seems now the dust has settled, the former lovers – and as it turns out, collaborators – are at the very least being civil. On Saturday Calvin made the mature decision to thank the singer after This Is What You Came For went certified double platinum in the UK (the only song to achieve that status in 2016 so far).
Re-tweeting a link about the news, he wrote “I am blessed to work with incredible artists, thank you!!” tagging both Rihanna, who sung the track, and Taylor.

Taylor took ownership of the mega-hit – and her own lyrical creation – when she performed it live for the first time at a concert last month. It’s not known what kind of legal arrangement that pair have come to regarding rights and royalties, or how easily they came to an agreement, but at least to the public, it seems there’s no Bad Blood.
