1989 (Taylor’s Version) rehashes one of her most high-profile relationships (and subsequent breakups), albeit a very brief one. With a new song to decode, fans who weren’t tapped into the gossip at the time could be wondering who Harry Styles dated after Taylor Swift, since Tay definitely seems to shade his rebound in “Is It Over Now”.

Styles and Swift sparked dating rumors in November 2012 when she started wearing a paper airplane necklace similar to the one the One Direction member wore. A month before, Styles called Swift a “real lovely girl” in an interview with Seventeen. “Honestly, she couldn’t be a sweeter person. She’s a great girl and she’s extremely talented,” he said. “[She’s] one of those people you meet [who’s] genuinely a nice person. Some people you meet and they are not as nice as you make them out to be, but she’s one of those people who’s really just amazing.”

The two went viral a month later after they were photographed on a date in Central Park In December, but in January 2013, reports circulated that they had broken up. An anonymous source told the Daily Mail that she’d split from Styles after they had “an almighty row” and sources confirmed the breakup to People.

As our Lord and Savior re-released her seminal album 1989—which is famous not only for Taylor’s first foray into pop music but also for its not-so-subtle references to Harry—and a new song “Is It Over Now”, everyone wants to know who Harry Styles dated after Taylor Swift.
