Calvin Harris was allegedly in a relationship when he first met Taylor Swift.
Citing a report from Confidential, the Inquisitr noted that the DJ was dating model Aarika Wolf when he met Swift at the 2015 Brit Awards in March. The two were seen talking the entire night at an after-party. However, the outlet's sources said that Swift was interested in doing a musical collaboration that time. Swift also did not know that Harris was in a relationship when they first met.
Harris reportedly confessed to a friend that he was cheating on Wolf with Swift before he ended their relationship, which lasted six months. He did not feel good about the situation but did not yet know how to tell his girlfriend at the time, so he waited before being seen with the country singer.
According to New York Daily News, the insider said, "Calvin and Aarika met on the set of his music video 'Blame' in August, and they started officially dating in October. They were full-on boyfriend/girlfriend for about six months; totally joined at the hip."
The insider continued, "He ended up breaking up with Aarika, and then just pretended that the Taylor Swift stuff happened after (the breakup). Aarika probably knows now that she was cheated on."
Swift and Harris were spotted on March 25 at Whole Foods in Nashville. The two even had matching outfits that time. Two days later, they were seen at a Kenny Chesney concert, based on another report by New York Daily News. Taylor also went with friends Ellie Goulding and the Haim trio to Calvin's show in Las Vegas. There were talks that the Haim trio was responsible for bringing Swift and Harris together. Although they did not clearly admit to an actual set up, they shared that they love them both.
New York Daily News' insider, however, believes that the relationship is not meant to last. "It's awkward because Calvin's friends are very much the late-night club and DJ crowd; Taylor doesn't seem to fit in," said the insider. "Calvin's friends think he's doing it because it's good for his profile - and he kind of thinks it's funny," the source added.
The 31-year-old Scottish DJ dated model Rita Ora before. He was recently ranked the richest DJ in the world, with an estimated fortune of £70 million ($107 million). His popularity continues to grow as his techno hits continue to top the UK charts.
Harris's real reasons for hooking up with Swift is yet to be known in the following months.
