It's official: Taylor Swift and One Direction's Harry Styles have headed to splitsville
The musical lovebirds, who spent time vacationing in the snow and sun together over the holidays, have broken up, sources confirm to PEOPLE
News of the couple's demise has been widespread: the New York Post's Page Six reports, citing a source, that after visiting the British Virgin Islands together following a New Year's Eve smooch, Swift left by herself on Jan. 4
Meanwhile, a photo of Styles in a hot tub with multiple people, including Richard Branson, surfaced Monday
Reps for both stars have not commented
Swift, 23, and Styles, 18, debuted as a couple during a taping of The X Factor in November, and were seemingly inseparable after that. They packed on the PDA at a party in New York on Dec. 6, and spent her birthday together visiting northern England
Although the pair appeared to fall for each other fast, a source who knows Swift told PEOPLE of the romance, "No one is taking it seriously."
Both Swift and the One Direction hottie kick off world tours soon
Taylor Swift, yet again, has some fresh material for a new breakup song: As rumored, Swift, 22, and One Direction's Harry Styles have split, multiple sources confirm to Us Weekly.
Things went south last week for the couple during a vacation on Virgin Gorda, the third-largest of the British Virgin Islands -- with Swift cutting the holiday short and jetting back home to Nashville.
"They had a fight," one insider tells Us. British crooner Styles, 18, "said something he shouldn't have . . . This [breakup] is definitely going to be for good."
"They are 100 percent over," another insider adds, noting that the "Red" chanteuse could be "intense."
Swift was first seen flirting with Styles back in mid-November -- and was photographed holding hands with the boy bander a couple weeks later. Before ringing in the New Year with a sweet kiss, they went on a ski trip with another volatile young couple: Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez


was it even 'serious' at all that is the question
Plus everybody gave me such shit when I was 23 and my boyfriend was 19.

(Although I may be biased with a boyfriend 13 years older than me)
This is exactly why Taylor is never slut-shammed. They know the "relationships" are for show.
omg same.
I dated a 25 year old when I was 19 and it was fucking glorious. Then I don't live in the land of denial U.S. where you can't get into bars until you're 21...maybe - as someone else pointed out - it's a cultural thing.
he seems more mature than the typical 18 yr old
at the same time, taylor may be 22 but she still has the mental and emotionally maturity of a 16 yr old
But once everyone is in the "real" world, age doesn't matter as much. I think age only matters when people are in different periods of their life. So it's not so much age as it is time/place the individuals are in in life.
i cannot imagine dating a teenager rn wtf.
I'm nhft tbh. I think she likes bad boys.

i was watching a degrassi rerun and it was an ep where sav meets keke on the street and she invites him to her "work" which is a concert
and there's an unusual amount of people excited to be at her concert. i didn't even realize people who weren't 8-13 yr old girls like her music
hell, i didn't even know she had an album
:'(
