They are never ever ever, getting back together: Taylor Swift's seven men in seven years.

Taylor recently split from Scottish DJ Calvin Harris - despite the pair bragging on social media that reaching their one year anniversary had been "easy".

The Sun exclusively revealed that Taylor ended the relationship with Calvin because he wouldn't commit to marriage and kids.

Friends of the "devastated" couple said the pair are on "different paths" which led to their split.

Sources close to Calvin - real name Adam Wiles - insist he was "in love" with Taylor but sees his dance music career as his priority.

A pal said: "Taylor ended things as she could feel their relationship wasn't heading in the right direction."

With her reputation for bouncing from man to man proceeding her, we track her turbulent relationship history.
