5 pop stars who wrote about exes, APART from Tay Tay of course

Dec 15, 2015

Taylor Swift has made herself the ultimate queen of break up songs and has written hit tracks about her long list of celebrity exes including John Mayer, Taylor Lautner and Jake Gyllenhaal.

Sure even Harry Styles references (we assume) Taylor in One Direction's latest track Perfect.

"If you want someone you can write you're break up songs about, baby I'm perfect," gushes Harry from behind the microphone and we ALL know who that is about.

But Taylor is not the only one whose love life plays out in music. Here is a list of other celebrity romances immortalised in a super catchy pop song.

1. Miley Cyrus and Nick Jonas

Before Miley became the strap-on wearing, tongue out popstrel that we know today, she was busy penning songs like 7 Things about her first love, Joe Jonas.

And while it may sound like an upbeat pop song, Miley was actually heart broken about her break up to Nick as demonstrated by these angst-ridden lyrics.

"Just know it hurts, I wanna be with the one I know. And the seventh thing I hate the most that you do, you make me love you."

2. Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears

I think many of us 90s kids can remember where we were when we first saw the video for Cry me a River and spent many an hour trying to figure out if that really WAS meant to be about Britney.

It would seem that Justin was pretty mad about the whole break up if these lyrics are to be believed.

"You don't have to say, what you did, I already know, I found out from him."

Ouch.

3. Ed Sheeran and Ellie Goulding

When Ed Sheeran's Don't hit the airwaves last year, we were all wondering where the sweet A-Team singer had gone.

These lyrics, which detail Ed's brief romance with Ellie Goulding, sure as hell don't hold back.

"I wasn't looking for a promise or commitment, but it was never just fun and I thought you were different.
This is not the way you realise what you wanted."

And Ellie was quick to retaliate with the first single off her upcoming album, On My Mind.

"Next thing that I know I'm in a hotel with you. You were talking deep like it was mad love to you. You wanted my heart but I just liked your tattoos."

What a mess.

4. Kanye West and Amber Rose

Kanye's track, Blame Game, caused a major Twitter row between this former couple.

While no one actually knows what REALLY happened during this highly dramatic breakup, both accused each other of cheating and Amber often blames Kim K for the ultimate breakup.

"Things used to be, now they not. Anything but us is who we are, Disguising ourselves as secret lovers, We've become public enemies. We walk away like strangers in the street. Gone for eternity."

Deep.

5. Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber
