I thought they were kind of sweet But fake or not, their breakup was inevitable and I the gossip in me can't wait to hear what she has to say about Styles in lyric form, and who they both move onto next! Both their love lives are ridiculously entertaining.

I'm surprised Gomez and Bieber 'lasted' as long as they did!

It's insulting in the extreme but their target audience won't know any better than to take this stuff at face value. There are no lows to which PR won't stoop.

But it isn't beyond the realms of possibility that two rich successful single young people meet thro work and hook up but of course distance and personality is going to be a huge minus plus they both probably have big egos which goes with their territory. I love a good blind or conspiracy but sometimes the truth can be more real. I mean do this band and Taylor need any more PR?

I guess relationships of convenience are as old as human history but they've never been as phony and cynical as they are today...although thinking about what people were like back in time, they probably have been!

I don't need blind items to tell me this relationship was a PR stunt. I have eyes and a brain. Stop insulting our intelligence. Taylor Swift, Harry Styles and Simon Cowell just give it a rest.

Of course it isn't...however, I'm surprised even such a hardcore fan like yourself is so keen to defend this. You must know the lengths PR will stoop to? I know you think butter wouldn't melt when it comes to 1D but they are hardly above cheap PR stunts.

Obviously showbiz has always been full of scandals, fake relationships and bearding. I'm in no way suggesting there is such a thing as "the good old days" there...but there is just something so damn tacky about how PR is presented today don't you think?

I definitely think it's a PR stunt. Two famous rich people can genuinely be together but this had fake written all over it.
As for them needing it...Taylor is massive in the US. Bigger than One Direction, so Harry dating her would give the band even more US attention (yes I know they're doing very well but the more attention the better as far as they're concerned). And since One Direction are pretty well known in the UK it's helped Taylor Swift become more well known. I've seen her on the front page of newspapers 4 times alone this month, she's never had so much UK press in her whole career until now!

[Marie_Ebb]

Is Taylor Swift's dad going to murder him now?

[The Prumeister]

I haven't been this shocked and upset since Katie Price split with Leandro Penna.

There's something very, very 'off' about Taylor Swift IMHO - she's very odd.

[Satnavvy]

Both beards removed then?

[wallster]

Hopefully Harry can find a nice "girl" to settle down with.

[Simi89]

I like Taylor but the only relationships that I don't think were PR stunts are Joe Jonas and John Mayer as there were several songs written about them.

You could be right

I'm surprised that this showmance lasted as long as it did!

LOL I wouldn't consider myself a hardcore fan..too old for all that nonsense but I still stick with my viewpoint that it isn't a PR stunt. Of course I could be wrong and only time will tell. I mean who would want to beard for Harry knowing all the hate they will get. That's just crazy

Sorry I didn't explain myself the same website had a blind about Niall and Demi on a contract which never happened then along comes Haylor so it was almost like they just switched boyband member with another american singer

I like her. I remember her being on Children in Need and making a big donation.

[gregsanison]

Why do women find this "thing" attractive? He looks like a frog that no princess could kiss and make him a prince!
