Calvin Harris opens up about his split with Taylor Swift

Los Angeles: DJ Calvin Harris says the aftermath of his relationship with singer Taylor Swift was way more heavily publicized than their relationship itself.

The 32-year-old record producer revealed that it was a difficult time as their relationship was extremely close to him, reported Entertainment Weekly.

"It's very difficult when something I consider so personal plays out very publicly. The aftermath of the relationship was way more heavily publicized than the relationship itself," he said.

Harris also said "Blank Space" hitmaker respected his feelings and their breakup was something that needed to occur.

"She respected my feelings in that sense. I'm not good at being a celebrity. But when it ended, all hell broke loose.

"For both of us it was the wrong situation. It clearly wasn't right, so it ended," he added.
