Their meeting came a year after Harry discussed his feelings on being used as fodder for her songwriting, as he said: ‘I think about what it means to me to write a song about somebody else and for somebody else to do that, it’s like flattering.’

Harry and Taylor had been seated at socially-distanced tables for the awards show and each appeared delighted when the other won a trophy during the proceedings held at the LA Convention Center.

Both had been nominated for the Grammy for Best Solo Pop Performance with the former One Direction member taking home the award for Watermelon Sugar.

As his name was announced, Taylor could be seen leaping to her feet and applauding the British singer. 

Harry had earlier in the evening opened the live telecast with a sultry performance of the song. In addition to his former girlfriend, he was also up against fellow nominees Doja Cat, Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, and Justin Bieber.

‘I feel very grateful to be here,  thank you,’ he said in his acceptance speech. ‘All these songs are f*****g massive.” 

It’s the first Grammy Award for the 1D alum while Taylor already has 10 to her name. Taylor also performed on the show, with a whimsical rendition of Cardigan.

Their romance was first hinted at when the rumour mill went into overdrive in November 2012, when X Factor host Mario Lopez revealed he saw them holding hands backstage at the U.S. X Factor.

They were then pictured together during a romantic stroll through New York’s Central park, confirming their union to fans all over the world. 

Just one month after they were first seen together, the duo split.

A source at the time gave the reason: ‘They are both really busy and never in one place for long. Harry’s really upset about the split and is really sensitive about it….

‘Loads of his friends told him to be careful and that it was never going to last, and he feels a little foolish now that it’s fallen apart so quickly.

Harry later said: ‘It would be hypocritical for me to say she couldn’t do [write songs about me] because everybody writes songs based on personal experience. I can’t say I’d have dated someone less famous to avoid it’. 

He inspired Out Of The Woods and Style from her 2014 album 1989.  

Harry told Howard Stern in March 2020: ‘I think about what it means to me to write a song about somebody else and for somebody else to do that, it’s like flattering…

Even if the song isn’t that flattering, She’s a great songwriter. So at least they’re good songs’.  

Taylor has previously stated that she has ‘a long list of ex lovers’ – with her self-professed ‘list’ including John Mayer, Joe Jonas, Jake Gyllenhaal, Taylor Lautner and Conor Kennedy, and others rumoured besides. 

Harry has been making headlines with his romantic life recently, being linked to actress and director Olivia Wilde, 37, following her split from Jason Sudeikis. 

Harry, who lives in London, has been filming Olivia’s movie Don’t Worry Darling in Los Angeles. And while the pop star is in LA, Olivia is currently in London.
