Calvin Harris is the cover boy for GQ Magazine’s October issue and he’s been talking Tay-Tay with the mag. In particular, Calvin’s been chatting about THOSE tweets he sent over that ‘did she didn’t she’ song writing drama surrounding Calvin’s hit ‘This Is What You Came For’ featuring Rihanna.

Calvin told GQ: “It's very difficult when something I consider so personal plays out very publicly.The aftermath of the relationship was way more heavily publicised than the relationship itself. When we were together, we were very careful for it not to be a media circus. She respected my feelings in that sense. I'm not good at being a celebrity."

Calvin added: "But when it ended, all hell broke loose. Now I see that Twitter thing as a result of me succumbing to pressure. It took me a minute to realise that none of that matters. I'm a positive guy. It was completely the wrong instinct. I was protecting what I see as my one talent in the world being belittled.

Calvin picked up Solo Artist of the Year at GQ’s Men of the Year Awards this week, Ellie Goulding presented him with his award.
