Ellie Goulding and Calvin Harris are friends who have collaborated on two hit songs, but they seemed to get their flirt on a bit last night, joking around at the GQ Men Of The Year Awards at London's Tate Modern on Tuesday night, just hours after news broke that Calvin's ex Taylor Swift had split with boyfriend Tom Hiddleston.
The 32-year-old DJ took to Snapchat to film his pal at the event and joked, "We just had a massive fight at the GQ Awards, and we’ve fallen out and it’s horrible and awkward as f**k."
Calvin, who was honored as Patron Solo Artist of the Year, seemed to be having a blast, probably gloating that things have fizzled with his former flame and her rebound beau.
Ellie also must have a bit of an odd night -- her ex-boyfriend Dougie Poynter, who arrived with not one but two dates, was also at the event.
Calvin has recently been linked to Mexican actress Eiza GOnzalez, but maybe friendship with Ellie has been set on fire? That would be a super cute couple if you ask us!
Interesting enough, Ellie is the one who set up Calvin and Tay back in the day. Previously, the "Burn" songstress told The Sun, "I did play matchmaker, that’s true."
"Calvin is a really great mate and he’s so fantastic, and Taylor is such a cool person who I love. I thought, "They’re both really awesome and both really tall, they’ll brilliant together."'
Not so much!
Meanwhile, Calvin spoke about his break up and the aftermath to GQ in the latest issue. He told the mag, "It's very difficult when something I consider so personal plays out very publicly." The music man added, "The aftermath of the relationship was way more heavily publicized than the relationship itself."
Although the two have been at odds since the split, Calvin did say that they two very careful about their relationship while it lasted and that, "She respected my feelings in that sense. I'm not good at being a celebrity."
He lamented, "But when it ended, all hell broke loose."
The DJ did speak about his Twitter barbs aimed at his ex, "Now I see that Twitter thing as a result of me succumbing to pressure ... It took me a minute to realize that none of that matters. I'm a positive guy."
Calvin did say something that had to happen, "For both of us it was the wrong situation. It clearly wasn't right, so it ended."
Yes -- it did.
