Taylor Swift ‘didn’t know’ that her ex, Calvin Harris, was at the 2024 Grammys on Sunday as she risked an awkward run-in while walking past the DJ at the beginning of the ceremony.
The Bad Blood hitmaker, 34 – who made history by earning her fourth Album of the Year honor – notably arrived a little late to the event and while being escorted to her table, strolled right past her ex-boyfriend.
During the brief moment – which went viral on social media – his back was facing towards Swift as she was greeted with applause from the crowd.
However, eyewitness told TMZ in an article published on Monday that the former couple never talked to each other – despite some fans speculating the situation may have arisen when celebrities mingled with each other at the Crypto.com Arena.
The insiders added that there also was no run-in that would have prompted Taylor and Calvin to have a conversation.

Sources additionally revealed that the two stars were seated far away from each other during the festivities.
The entertainment outlet was also told that the songstress wasn’t aware that Harris was in attendance at the live event over the weekend.
While Taylor made an appearance at the ceremony with a remarkable six nods, Calvin – who sat with wife Vick Hope – was there with a nomination for the song Miracle.
Fans promptly observed a series of near encounters within the venue. Specifically, Swift’s tardy arrival at the ceremony saw her casually gliding past Harris.
One eagle-eyed jokester took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to reference the songstress’s penchant for writing songs about exes, hilariously stating, ‘This is still the closest Calvin Harris has ever been to being on Reputation.’
Another shared, ‘kill bill and flowers kinda the perfect songs to have taylor singing along to with calvin sitting right next to her.’
One social media user posted, ‘NOT CALVIN BEING IN THE AUDIENCE AND HEARING TAYLOR ANNOUNCE A NEW ALBUM BEFORE ME.’
Taylor and Calvin began dating in 2015 after meeting backstage at the Elle Style Awards in February 2015 and being introduced by their mutual friend, Ellie Goulding.

They made it official when they attended the the 2015 Billboard Music Awards together.
The former couple even collaborated once as co-writers on the song This Is What You Came For, recorded by Rihanna.
Yet, following a 15-month romance, the pair went their separate ways in June 2016, experiencing a rather tumultuous breakup that unfolded in the public eye.
Calvin took to Twitter to express his frustration with Taylor when reports surfaced suggesting that she had penned This Is What You Came For.
A year later, he told British GQ that he regretted the behavior and offered a reason for the split. ‘For both of us, it was the wrong situation. It clearly wasn’t right, so it ended.’
Calvin marked Taylor’s lengthiest public relationship, following a series of well-known romances with figures such as Joe Jonas, Harry Styles, Jake Gyllenhaal, John Mayer, and Taylor Lautner.
Her brief involvement with English actor Tom Hiddleston followed her separation from Harris, eventually leading to a six-year partnership with Joe Alwyn in 2017.
However, in April 2023, news broke that Swift and Alwyn had decided to part ways. Currently, Taylor is going strong with her new beau and NFL player, Travis Kelce.

Harris, meanwhile, moved on to TV and radio presenter Vick – whom he walked down the aisle with in January 2022.
During the night, Taylor notably won the Grammys for both Best Pop Vocal Album and Album of the Year for Midnights.
While accepting her first award of the night for Pop Vocal Album, the star notably announced that she would be dropping her next album titled: The Tortured Poets Department.
After the surprise revelation, fans were quickly convinced that the title of the album was in reference to her ex, Joe Alwyn.
Back in 2022, the actor explained that he was part of a WhatsApp group chat with close pals Paul Mescal and Andrew Scott called The Tortured Man Club.
Fans and social media users immediately jumped to X to share their thoughts on the inspiration behind Swift’s upcoming album, with one penning, ‘THIS IS THE BREAKUP ALBUM.’
Another added, ‘I hope for Joe’s sake that he still has that group chat. I feel like he’s gonna need it.’

A source recently told DailyMail.com that Alwyn feels that it would be ‘shady’ if Taylor dissed him in The Tortured Poets Department.
‘Joe has not said one word about Taylor or their breakup and has been completely respectful of her. It’s undeniable that the name of her upcoming album is in reference to Joe’s WhatsApp group chat.’
‘Taylor knocked him for the name of this when they were together. She didn’t want people to think that it had anything to do with her, so when he spoke out about it, she was, of course, bothered,’ the insider added.
‘Joe has no reason to believe yet that she is going to diss him or their relationship. She writes about her past using code and points of reference.’
The week will be a busy one for the songstress, who is planning to reunite with her boyfriend Travis Kelce during the Superbowl in Las Vegas on Sunday, February 11 to watch the Kansas City Chiefs take on the San Francisco 49ers; seen in January in Baltimore
The source continued, ‘It may just be that she is reflecting on their time together and he is hoping it is nothing more.’
‘If it is a diss album, that is shady. He helped her with song writing on her past album so it will really come as a shock to him if she talks about their breakup, as it is something he has not spoken of at all.’
Following the Grammys, Swift is preparing to officially commence the international trek of her Eras Tour in Tokyo on Wednesday, February 7.
