Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris split but an insider says “there was no drama”_  by [Cady Lang](https://time.com/author/cady-lang/)  ## Cady Lang Jun 15, 2016 10:31 PM UTC  by [Cady Lang](https://time.com/author/cady-lang/)  ## Cady Lang Jun 15, 2016 10:31 PM UTC Ahh, modern love — one day you’re posting adorable Instagrams together and the next you’re removing any trace of your ex from all social media platforms. The doomed love story of our time, that is, the saga that was [Taylor Swift](http://time.com/3578249/taylor-swift-interview/) and [Calvin Harris](http://time.com/4350512/calvin-harris-car-crash-tweet-statement/)‘ oft-documented 15-month love affair, is yet another casualty of millennial love, leaving both their social media accounts ravaged. A quick sweep of [Taylor’s Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/taylorswift/) shows that the singer has deleted any trace of her former DJ paramour from her feed, which is a real shame because she had amassed a record number of perfectly posed couple shots, including this [one](http://time.com/4261061/taylor-swift-calvin-harris-vacation/) from their anniversary tropical getaway. Meanwhile Calvin Harris took it a step further and deleted [the tweet he wrote about their breakup](http://time.com/4356036/calvin-harris-taylor-swift-breakup/), which read, “The only truth here is that a relationship came to an end & what remains is a huge amount of love and respect.” He then unfollowed Swift, and [reportedly unfollowed](http://hollywoodlife.com/2016/06/15/calvin-harris-unfollows-taylor-swift-breakup-drama-deletes-tweet-blocks/) her brother and blocked some of her fans. How much do you want to bet that these two are never, ever, ever getting back together? Taylor, for her part, [seems to have rebounded nicely with Loki](https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/1290205/the-steamy-pictures-that-reveal-taylor-swift-and-tom-hiddlestons-secret-romance-to-the-world/). Calvin, for his part, might do well to take a cue from Justin Bieber; [a little throwback pic of an ex](http://time.com/4320988/most-liked-instagram-selena-bomez-justin-bieber/) can really rake in those Instagram likes, which as any 21st century lover knows, can really comfort a wounded heart. ## Transcript [ SOUND ] Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris are going their separate ways. No! Yes, no it's true, multiple sources have confirmed exclusively to People that the chart topping couple have broken up after just 15 months together with an insider saying { MUSIC ] There was no drama. Things just don't work out sometimes. No one cheated. Back in March, the pair celebrated their one year anniversary. Swift even opened up in Vogues May issue about her relationship. Saying, I'm just taking things as they come. I'm in a magical relationship right now. And of course, I want it to be ours, and low- key. This is the one thing, that's been mine, about my personal life. But sometimes the best medicine for a breakup is just a little quality time with the family, and that's exactly what Taylor's been doing. She posted this adorable video on Instagram, grilling with her mom back home in Nashville Tennessee. Watch this. There's this frog that's going off. He's just out there. He does not like it that we're grilling. Mom's stunned face, amazing. All I have to say is I hope there's no bad blood between the two and that they can hopefully shake it off, and I think I can speak for everyone when I say I can't wait for that next album. Guys, I really wanted them to last! I loved them, together!
