Calvin Harris has hit out at his ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift after it was confirmed that she did write his latest hit.
The Scottish DJ posted a string of messages on Twitter, saying Taylor’s behaviour was “hurtful” and alluding to her new romance with Tom Hiddleston after Taylor’s camp said she penned Calvin and Rihanna’s track This Is What You Came For.

Her spokesperson said: “Taylor Swift wrote This Is What You Came For under the pseudonym Nils Sjoberg.”
Calvin – who split from Taylor in May – shared a link to a US article about Taylor writing the song and tweeted: “And she sings on a little bit of it too. Amazing lyric writer and she smashed it as usual.”
A string of other tweets followed:
I wrote the music, produced the song, arranged it and cut the vocals though. And initially she wanted it kept secret, hence the pseudonym

Hurtful to me at this point that her and her team would go so far out of their way to try and make ME look bad at this stage though 🤔

I figure if you're happy in your new relationship you should focus on that instead of trying to tear your ex bf down for something to do

I know you're off tour and you need someone new to try and bury like Katy ETC but I'm not that guy, sorry. I won't allow it

Please focus on the positive aspects of YOUR life because you've earned a great one

Calvin, 32, ended his messages writing:
God bless everyone have a beautiful day

Taylor, 26, and Calvin dated for 15 months before parting company in late May.
The Shake It Off singer started dating Tom weeks after the break up.
