As Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris split after just 15 months of dating we take a look back at their romance and discover exactly what drove them apart
Fans have been left baffled by the break-up which came just weeks after Taylor gushed about her 'magical' love affair in an interview
TAYLOR Swift seemed to have found 'the one' when she struck up a romance with Calvin Harris last year, but she has been left heart-broken once again after the relationship crumbled.
Fans were blindsided by the split news yesterday as it came just weeks after Taylor gushed about the "magical" relationship in an interview.
We can now examine the reasons behind the break-up and reveal the seemingly perfect romance was rocked by a number of devastating problems which eventually drove them apart.
Reports suggest there was no drama surrounding the split - no third parties were involved and there were no screaming arguments.
The romance is said to have just fizzled out, but fans have been left wondering just how the showbiz world's golden couple could part ways just as they were looking to be getting serious.
The Shake It Off singer, 26, and the 32-year-old DJ, real name Adam Wiles, had been dating for 15 months before they decided to call the relationship off.
Did Taylor over-share?...
She may have promised to keep her romance out of the spotlight following a series of high-profile break-ups, but Taylor just couldn't resist showing off her man.
After they began dating last year, they became one of showbusiness' most high-profile couples.
They were often spotted heading out to dinner together, attending concerts and events, and Taylor committed the ultimate sin of over-sharing...
She posted a number of intimate pictures of her man online, sharing the snaps with nearly 80 million Instagram followers.
Early on in the romance, Taylor uploaded a picture of the love birds cuddled up on an inflatable swan as they lounged around a swimming pool.
She also gave fans another glimpse into her supposedly private romance by sharing pictures of an Independence Day party at her home last summer.
One of the pictures showed an intimate moment between the pair as he gave the bikini-clad singer a piggy-back.
Taylor wrote in a caption: "Friendly relations between Scotland and America."
The Shake It Off star also made the devastating mistake of talking about her relationship publicly.
Just weeks before the split, she sat for a candid chat with Vogue magazine and she gushed about her perfect romance with Calvin.
She said: "I'm just taking things as they come. I'm in a magical relationship right now. And of course I want it to be ours, and low-key... this is the one thing that's been mine about my personal life."

They were suddenly thrust together after being kept apart by work...
Taylor and Calvin spent most of last year apart as the singer jetted across the globe on her 1989 world tour.
The DJ was also playing shows in a number of different countries, so the couple rarely had a chance to meet up for quality time together.
However, after enduring a long-distance relationship for the best part of a year, Taylor's tour finally came to an end in November.
She was suddenly free to spend as much time with her boyfriend as she wanted, but it doesn't seem to have brought them closer.

They recently came back from their first couples holiday...
Taylor and Calvin celebrated their 12-month anniversary in March, so they jetted off on their first holiday together as a couple.
They both shared pictures of themselves frolicking on a beach in an exotic location, and kissing as they stood in the sea.
However, a couple's first proper holiday together can often lead to drama - travel details, lost luggage and too much sun is often the catalyst for arguments.
The cracks in the relationship may have been exposed as they were forced to spend time in each other's company without having Taylor's many friends around to use as a buffer.
Was there a social media blackout?
Fans have been speculating that the couple may have drifted apart long before the break-up as they have been noticeably absent from each other's social media pages in recent weeks.
The most obvious omission came late last month when Taylor was missing during Calvin's car crash drama.
When the DJ was embroiled in a terrifying accident in Los Angeles two weeks ago, fans had expected Taylor to rush to his side.
However, the singer was nowhere to be seen during the DJ's emergency.
He was caught up in a nasty accident in Los Angeles when the car booked to take him to the airport was hit by another vehicle.
Calvin was taken to hospital by ambulance and reportedly treated for a cut on his face.
Taylor did not mention the accident in any of her social media updates, and has yet to make any comment on the drama.
There may have been many of these factors which let to the split, but all we know for sure is that Calvin's name will be added to that long list of ex-lovers that Taylor mentioned in hit track Blank Space.
