We were on tour, I remember, I think he tweeted that he got it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So then, you know, it was brought to our attention. \u2018That\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/harry-styles\/\" class=\"exposure-link \" data-linktrack=\"LinkTracker,articleExposure,harry-styles\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Harry Styles<\/a>, blah, blah, blah.\u2019 And then we were laughing about how it was wrong.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nDougy told how Taylor had later asked him to handwrite the lyrics as a special gift for Harry &#8211; but he didn&#8217;t know if he should highlight his mistake by using the correct lines, or going with what the star thought they were.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe continued: &#8220;And then fast forward, I don\u2019t know, whatever, in the future, we were at the ARIAs and Taylor Swift was a presenter or something. She came to our green room, with a piece of paper, and she goes, \u2018Can you write the lyrics for my boyfriend? It\u2019s his birthday.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;We were like, \u2018Ok, cool.\u2019 So my dilemma was, do I write the right lyrics? Or do I write the wrong lyrics? I can\u2019t remember which way I wrote.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe pair have rarely spoken about their romance, but Taylor&#8217;s songs &#8216;Style&#8217; and &#8216;Out of the Woods&#8217; are rumoured to be about Harry, and he previously admitted he was grateful to her for marking their time together in her music.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe told Rolling Stone magazine in 2017: &#8220;In writing songs about stuff like that, I like tipping a hat to the time together. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;You&#8217;re celebrating the fact it was powerful and made you feel something, rather than &#8216;This didn&#8217;t work out, and that&#8217;s bad.&#8217; <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;And if you run into that person, maybe it&#8217;s awkward, maybe you have to get drunk &#8230; but you shared something. Meeting someone new, sharing those experiences, it&#8217;s the best s**t ever. So thank you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe former couple were caught strolling in New York&#8217;s Central Park by paparazzi photographers on their second date and the &#8216;Sign of the Times&#8217; singer admits the attention they received made things even harder and more &#8220;awkward&#8221; than they already were.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe recalled: &#8220;When I see photos from that day, I think, relationships are hard, at any age. And adding in that you don&#8217;t really understand exactly how it works when you&#8217;re 18, trying to navigate all that stuff didn&#8217;t make it easier. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I mean, you&#8217;re a little bit awkward to begin with. You&#8217;re on a date with someone you really like. It should be that simple, right? It was a learning experience for sure. But at the heart of it &#8211; I just wanted it to be a normal date.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/taylor-swift-sought-personal-gift-harry-styles-brief-romance-1412739.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>26 January 2025 Taylor Swift enlisted help from Temper Trap to arrange a personal birthday gift for then-boyfriend Harry Styles.
