Let the theories begin.

Multiple sources have confirmed to People.com Calvin Harris was “intimidated” by Taylor Swift’s success and while there was “no drama”, a friend of the singer has spoken out with a little insight into the reasoning behind the break-up.

“[Harris] said on multiple occasions that he was intimidated by Taylor, which is why he would never attend any events where she was being honored, or any award shows unless he was nominated,” said the source.

Swift’s 1989 World Tour grossed a quarter of a billion dollars, making it the last year’s richest tour, says Forbes. Her net worth also falls within the minimum amount needed to be a part of America’s Richest Self-Made Women list. By comparison, producer Harris is worth $66 million and surely isn’t too overwhelmed by his now-ex-girlfriend’s wealth. Other theories, as reported by E! News, include Harris getting bored with the 26-year-old popstar.

“Adam has been bored for a while and was hoping the spark would come back but it hasn’t,” a source told E! News. “Friends were even surprised it lasted this long because of the lack of chemistry.”

Another source adds Harris “started to lose interest over the past few months” and the two “were not very compatible” and “seemed like they were more friends than lovers.”

Swift is reportedly holding up ok. “Taylor is an independent young woman and she realises it will take a very secure man to handle her success,” a source told People.com.

Bad Blood? Maybe not. Nevertheless, the real story will be revealed in Swift’s next single where we’ll no doubt find out if the high was worth the pain.
