It’s no secret that Taylor Swift‘s brand is built on her being the good girl in a relationship, after all, her music catalog is littered with tunes about her romantic breakups, and how men cheated and mistreated her heart…
So if that brand were ever soiled by revelations of her own infidelities or mistreatment of her romantic partners, the Swift empire may come crashing down to earth with a cynical thud.
Odd things transpired in the wake of Swift’s break up with long time boyfriend Calvin Harris, the dust hadn’t even settled before she was found in the arms of another man…Tom Hiddleston.
In fact, the transition was so quick and tear free that it led to loud speculation that she had been flirting with Tom for quite some time.
And the news initially hurt Calvin Harris so deeply that he opined about it one social media…only to quickly take down his hurt thoughts in mysterious fashion as the narrative changed to a amicable split with Swift.
Suddenly Harris was following his former lover on social media again, and liking her posts with his digital blessing…an extremely different attitude than he displayed in the immediate aftermath of the split with Taylor.
Insiders immediately began to speculate that this was an act of damage control by Swift’s image consultants, who paid Harris an undisclosed sum to play nice and keep his mouth shut about why the pair split in the first place.
It’s a rumor that’s hard to ignore given the circumstances, Taylor’s got a new beau, and Calvin Harris went from heartbroken to cheerleader in less than a day…proving that money may not buy you love, but it can buy you silence…
