Calvin Harris tweets he’s ‘blessed’ to have worked with ex Taylor Swift — after lashing out when she took credit for his hit
Thank-you message comes as This Is What You Came For goes double platinum in UK
CALVIN Harris has thanked ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift for her work on his hit This Is What You Came For — months after lashing out when she took credit for her involvement in the song.
The Scottish DJ, 32, tweeted his thanks to the US pop star yesterday as the record, featuring lyrics by Taylor and vocals by Rihanna, went double platinum in the UK.
He wrote: "I am blessed to work with incredible artists @rihanna @taylorswift13 thank you!!!"
The track had sparked a spat between Calvin and Taylor, 26, in July, six weeks after the couple called time on their relationship of more than a year.
After Taylor's reps confirmed reports the singer had written This Is What You Came For under the pseudonym Nils Sjoberg, Calvin accused his ex and her team of trying to make him "look bad" and "bury" him like her nemesis Katy Perry.
In a series of tweets, he ranted: "I wrote the music, produced the song, arranged it and cut the vocals... And initially she wanted it kept secret, hence the pseudonym.
"Hurtful to me at this point that her and her team would go so far out of their way to try and make ME look bad at this stage though.
"I figure if you're happy in your new relationship you should focus on that instead of trying to tear your ex bf down for something to do."

Calvin continued: "I know you're off tour and you need someone new to try and bury like Katy ETC but I'm not that guy, sorry. I won't allow it.
"Please focus on the positive aspects of YOUR life because you've earned a great one.
"God bless everyone have a beautiful day."
