Taylor’s fans promptly accused Calvin of unjustly taking the credit for her work, and he did not hold back as he set the record straight on Twitter, now known as X. He wrote: “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,” he went on. “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.”
Calvin then dealt a final blow as he publicly accused Taylor of trying to “bury” him “like Katy Perry,” a reference to Taylor’s well-publicized 2014 feud with her fellow popstar, which gained notoriety when Taylor made it clear that her song “Bad Blood” was about their fallout.
