Reports indicate that Taylor Swift has no objections to her longtime friend Zoe Kravitz dating her former boyfriend Harry Styles. A source close to the situation shared with Us Weekly that the relationship between Kravitz and Styles does not concern Swift. The insider noted, “Their relationship was so long ago. Harry has moved on, and so has Taylor. They’re friendly when they see each other, which isn’t often but does happen occasionally. It’s all in the past now.”
Swift, who is currently 35, and Styles, age 31, were first linked romantically in 2012 when they were seen walking together in Central Park. Their brief romance ended just a month later following a tumultuous trip to the Caribbean, which reportedly included a disagreement where Styles “said something he shouldn’t have.” This breakup has been widely speculated to have inspired several songs, including Swift’s 2014 hit “Style” and One Direction’s 2015 track “Perfect,” sung by Styles himself.
In a 2017 interview with Rolling Stone, Styles discussed how personal experiences influence his songwriting. He acknowledged Swift’s contributions to the music scene, calling her work “great” and noting that her songs were “bloody everywhere.”
Their paths crossed again in public at the 2021 Grammys, and more recently, they were seen engaging in friendly conversation at the same awards show in 2023. This suggests that their relationship has evolved into a more amicable dynamic over the years.
In August 2023, Swift became engaged to Travis Kelce, a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs. Meanwhile, Kravitz, 36, and Styles were first spotted together around the same time. According to the insider, they connected during their time in Europe for work-related commitments. The source explained, “It isn’t serious between them. Zoe does not want anything serious right now. They are very similar and are free-spirited people, so they hit it off and have a lot of chemistry.”
Since then, Styles and Kravitz have been seen together in public, including a lunch outing with her father, Lenny Kravitz, in September. Swift and Kravitz have maintained their friendship since at least 2016. Recently, Kravitz revealed that Swift graciously offered her home to Kravitz and her mother, Lisa Bonet, during the Southern California wildfires earlier this year.
The dating history of both Styles and Kravitz includes notable relationships. Styles has previously dated Kendall Jenner, Olivia Wilde, and Taylor Russell, while Kravitz was married to Karl Glusman from 2019 to 2021 and engaged to Channing Tatum from 2023 to 2024.
As both Swift and Kravitz pursue new chapters in their lives, it appears that their friendship remains strong, undisturbed by past relationships.
