Calvin Harris’ Wife Says She Listens to Taylor Swift When He Isn’t Around
Vick Hope is a Swiftie, despite her husband’s history with Taylor Swift.
Calvin Harris’ wife shared on her BBC Radio 1 show Going Home with Vick, Katie and Jamie on Monday (April 8) that she listens to the DJ’s ex-girlfriend when he’s not around. “As soon as my husband goes away, I listen to Taylor Swift,” she admitted. “That’s just when I get my little fill — just a little fill, just a couple of songs, get it out of my system and then it’s done.”
Harris and Hope first started dating in early 2022, and were engaged by the end of the year. They tied the knot in September 2023 in a tent on the grounds of Hulne Priory, Alnwick, Northumberland. “You know what, I was very overwhelmed by the interest in it, but I’m keeping my private life private,” Hope previously told Hello! Magazine about their relationship. “I’ve never really experienced this before about my private life, but it’s just for us.”
Swift and Harris dated for nearly a year and a half back in 2015. In July 2016, it was revealed that Swift secretly co-wrote Harris’ hit “This Is What You Came For” under a pseudonym. Once the news broke, Harris launched a string of (since-deleted) angry tweets, claiming that Swift was trying to “tear” him down.
“It was completely the wrong instinct,” Harris told British GQ later that year, reflecting on the incident. “I was protecting what I see as my one talent in the world being belittled. It felt like things were piling on top of me and that was when I snapped.”
