Taylor Swift Being “Used” By “Scheming” Harry Styles, Says Magazine

Truth rating: 0

“Taylor Swift is about to have her heart broken,” reports the National Enquirer, which claims the singer is “being used” by Harry Styles.

According to the mag, Swift and Styles’ relationship was “orchestrated by his publicists to cast even more light on the handsome teen pop idol.”

A purported “insider” tells the tabloid, “Little does Taylor know that Harry’s handlers went to great lengths to put the two together because she’s such a huge star.”

The so-called source explains, “Anytime Taylor starts dating a new guy she gets a flurry of media attention, and her breakups receive even more.”

The Enquirer’s “insider” goes on to note that after Swift and Styles reportedly met at the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards last March, his advisors “saw the potential for a blossoming relationship” and promptly “began doing everything they could to push the two closer together.”

Now, the One Direction singer’s reps are allegedly “just waiting for the relationship to take its course and reap the publicity benefits of a breakup,” concludes the source.

Wow, that sounds pretty nefarious… and completely BOGUS.

One Direction is enjoying massive success and a crazy level of fandom — Styles doesn’t need to fake a relationship to get headlines.

Ever since the pop stars began dating, there are have been a slew of inaccurate rumors about the pair, with one story even claiming that Swift was using Styles for publicity.

None of these outlandish tales are true.

Gossip Cop checked in with a One Direction source, who tells this latest tabloid conspiracy theory is totally FALSE.

    more the opposite. She’s using him for music material. Zero chemistry between the two. Isn’t Taylor known for her bearding?

  • Harry<3

    Woowww I knew that was completely false from the first sentence. Taylor has written so many crappy songs about her break-ups. It seems way more likely Taylor would use Harry. Harry deserves better than someone who has such a horrid background in relationships. Taylor is a cougar blek :P

  • Iloveonedirection

    Talyor is using harry since most of her dating experiences don’t really last long. Don’t get me wrong i like talyors songs (some of them) its just no surprise if she breaks harrys heart. I feel bad for him because he truly is a nice guy and is the kind of guy that can be dating for a long time. He is sweet funny and talyor she is sweet but its the same rountine she gets with a guy writes a song. Breaks up with the guy and writes a song and i bet you thats how most of her albums came out. I mean come on once she is done with a guy she goes after another one. I mean she is 23 harry is 18 this probably won’t last long. Either she is going to make up some excuse or harry is going to get tired of her.

  • julie

    lol people dont understand how powerful one directions management it. they dont care about the boys. all of their relationships are set up

  • Taylor<3

    this is all a load of bullshit, taylor has only realized two songs that have been big singles to everyone and those two are the only ones people hear, making her sound bad if you listen to her other stuff she’s a great person. She forced to right songs catchy and out of her style because its making her more money

  • taylor<3

    You don’t know this though you don’t even know her dating life, seriously stop judging celebrities like we know their whole life bit for bit no one knows but them this is just your assumption, gosh she hasn’t found a guy she likes you don’t know how many guys have hurt her do more research before speaking

  • Taylor

    agreed no one knows how strong celebrities in general management is controlled. Its so powerful they have very little say in what they want to do, and are often forced and manipulated to do wrong just to add spark and drama to this entertainment industry. None of these characters can be blamed for anything its not their fault

    Y dnt u tell everyone who telling u this info cuz all we know u could be making this all up to make this star look bad in fount of millions of ppl! Tht just being a dike!

  • Taylor<3

    gosh its people like you that start this crap you know nothing about Taylor or Harry’s relationship you just know that you want Harry and your gonna get all emotional if his heart get’s token, well wake up he doesn’t know you he will never know you. You don’t know Taylor on a personal level nor do you know Harry so i would sit back down and just stop trying to speak as if you know their whole life story.

  • ImmaGangztaDasWhoAam

    Yeah but she doesnt have to ruin her ex’s reputation with the catchy songs does she? Plus you said it yourself she’s doing it for fame and fortune

  • GangnamStyles! :)

    She’s a true directioner and she’s only looking out for Harry’s feelings and heart….sure we may be down at first but we have to cope with it sooner or later, people will get over it like they did with Justin and Selena

  • JasmineBest

    The faq bro? Bunch of bullcrap, even if its vice versa

  • faithfulxx

    This article is 100% true, only she’s the one scheming and he’s being used.

    Stop trying to make Taylor look like a saint, game’s over. Find something else to write about.

  • taylor swift sucks

    Taylor Swift is a mean nasty person for using Harry just for music material its a fact that ever since Harry was little he wanted to go out with Taylor. And then when he gets to she just uses him. What kind of sick person would use HARRY STYLES he is my hero and soooooooo hot.

  • taylor swift sucks

    taylor swift just used Harry styles she rude nasty and mean

  • taylor swift sucks

    i feel really sorry for harry he rocks i bet harry cried taylor should go make other crapy songs not about break ups i bet soon she will try to go for one of the other one direction boys but im sure they will say no im happy that harry dosent have to put up with her any more but im sad for harry at the same time

  • i hate taylor

    thats complete bullshit. Taylor is the one who dates guys, gets a high profile relationship, snogs them under the moonlight or something to show how happy they are, and then breaks upwith them and writes a song showing thee boy as a hog and herself as some sweet princess. :p

  • iiiveL

    Pssh. Agree with Gossip Cop . This Story is bogus. Taylor Swift is already famous even when she’s not dating Harry or even when 1D was formed. And Harry and the rest of the One Direction Band has already gotten famous almost around the world. both of them doesn’t need publicity stunts. They’re inlove, deal with it!

  • iiiveL

    tanginamo! haha gago!

  • guest

    Sorry Gossip Cop but I believe there is truth to this story. Taylor and Harry agreed to this fake relationship for publicity. Unless you are a One Direction fan, the public doesn’t who any of the members are individually. This relationship helps Harry in the U.S. and as for Taylor she just loves being the center of attention.

  • iiiveL

    Harry doesn’t need help in the U.S., 1D is already famous there and have lots of fans. ANd Taylor is just in love with Harry and Harry is just inlove with Taylor. it’s about the media. just like the bogus thing that’s written above, media’s are the one’s who are create fake stories.

    Bitches are the one who thinks harry uses taylor for fame. Bitches are the one who thinks taylor uses harry for fame. Bitches!

  • http://twitter.com/BattleCry69 Morning Flower

    I think you meant it the other way around i.e. Taylor is the one doing the using here. To refresh your memory 99% of the songs she has written are about one of her 16 ex boyfriends some of them very high profile like: John Mayer, Taylor Lautner, Joe Jonas, Jake Gyllenhall, Kyle McKinley, Riley Howell, Adam Young, etc. Some who are not very knows but she has immortalized them in song include: Lucas Till, Brandon Borello, some other ex-boyfriend who she calls a ‘red-neck’ got ‘picture to burn’ .. SIGH! The list goes on… and on…. and on….

  • 1234

    I believe there is truth to this too. I am betting that Harry wants a solo career out of this. This keeps the focus just on him and Taylor gets publicity for her new album.

  • ms_ariz

    I’ve heard that about her as well. It seems anytime there’s a whisper about a male celeb being gay, they are seen with Taylor. I also heard she’s still a virgin. Which is not a bad thing of course.

  • julianne

    are you kidding me? its more like the opposite. taylor is using harry not the other way around. she always goes for the guys who are big in the moment and who is that? harry. he never even looks happy in pictures and taylor’s always smiling.

  • Anonymous

    They met at the x factor, went on a date with a baby and management the next day, then had sex two nights in a row, then went skiing together. That’s not a normal relationship. Besides, Tay’s the “beard to the stars”. And I actually like Taylor. I’m just saying

  • Person

    That’s true, she snogged Harry after the countdown to the new year. SHE was the one who went in for the kiss not Harry. I WISH Harry could come to his senses and realize that Taylor is just a menanizer(see what I did there? I changed womanizer to menanizer..). :p No hate though, I L.O.V.E Taylor’s songs and she has a nice personality but… I just don’t think they go well together… MY OPINION.

  • pauge

    He looks miserable in every picture with her.

  • pauge

    Stop making taylor look like the saint!!! Its a mutual decision between both managements. You can tell he doesn’t like her, he looks miserable in every picture with her and as soon as he’s away from her he’s out partying and smiling. Plus, no “couple” goes on 4 vacations in a month unless they want attention. Its kept both Taylor and 1D at the top of the charts. But I don’t think its for Harry to have a solo career, its for the whole band to gain publicity.

  • anon

    HAHAHAHAHAHA IF YOU CAN’T SEE THAT THIS IS A FAKE RELATIONSHIP THEN I’M PRAYING FOR YOU

  • Jane

    If you really care for Harry as Directioners you will let him be happy. You people dont know everything about her and you shouldnt judge her. Theyre both famous they dont need anymore publicity anyways. But if you still hate haylor you shouldnt cuss about it. It would be best for everyone if you keep it to yourselves. Its pretty obvious that you directioners are jealous :)

  • KatrinaCat

    You know, the “directioners” and “swifters” both need to shut up! Seriously! The media is making this all too much. Why would Harry reaveal his scheme to dump Taylor to the media? He`s not stupid. As for Taylor she`s famous, of course the media will go after her for her numerous boyfriends. There are people out there who do far worse, meanwhile Taylor is being harassed by directioners who never had a shot with Harry anyway. Do you think he will love you more? If you don`t care about what Harry thinks fine! I don`t either, but there is no need to be so rude to Taylor even if you are expressing your opinion, shes a person, keep your opinions to yourself. Plus I think the millions of girls coming on top of Taylor are just jealous its no them having “sleepovers” with Harry, and wish it was them. Imagine all their wishes came true! and they were Harry`s girlfriend, they`d sure as hell back off from Taylor after getting all the same hate she does. Call me a “Swifter” but I`m not sticking up for her cause I like her, I`m trying to get it through all the airhead directioners minds to mind their own bussiness!! I`m a directioner… I think their adaorable together! If they do break up, It`ll be from your hate NOT Taylor being a whore. IGNORE THE ARTICLES THEY ARE FAKE, News repoters are just stirring the pot.

    Today I learned that teenagers are nutjobs.

  • Amy-Michelle1D

    Why Would Harry Want A Solo Career When He Has One Direction???

  • Amy-Michelle1D

    No offense but i was brought up to express my opinions

  • Amy-Michelle1D

    Its not about whether he knows her or not. She’s is a directioner. She’s only looking out for his feelings, that’s what directioners do.

  • Older than 12

    The funniest thing about this story it 1D’s fans’ delusions and conspiracy theories. Like they seriosuly think bashing Harry’s girlfriend/whatever will make him love them. And don’t start with that ‘But we’re only looking out for Harreh’s feelings!!!,11!!!1!1!1!1!’ bs, it just makes you look even more childish.

    WHY IS IT THAT EVERY TIME A CELEBRITY BREAKS UP WITH ANOTHER CELEBRITY, THAT THE MEDIA HAS TO JUMP TO THE CONCLUSION THAT SOMEONE USED SOMEONE ELSE?!?! Why dont you STFU and stay out of people’s business.THERE IS NO SOURCE, ITS A LOAD OF BULLSHIT. One Direction is already REALLY REALLY REALLYYYYY successful, why does Harry need to use Taylor to get more of the lime light? I knew this was gonna happen when Haylor started. That Harry would be labeled as the bad boy. Why wont media just leave them and every other celebrity alone? Are you that stupid to think that what the media says is fact? Why is it, that in today’s society, we believe in everything we read because it was published in a magazine? There is no One Direction source, because guess what? The media LIES.A lot. The media is always there when something bad happens, willing to portray Harry as a manwhore. Let me remind you, that that ‘manwhore’ was on a prank on Nick where Louis and Zayn decided to put Harry, Niall, and Liam in a situation where there was a pretend pregnant lady, whose ‘water broke’ and THIS is how HARRY reacted: http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7jkz3sQyi1rqmjs0.gif . Totally seems like a manwhore. stop trying to make celebrities look bad. Is it really worth it to portray an 18 year old boy who was obviously confused by the whole situation, as a man whore, just to gain a few more readers?
