Rita Ora opens up about seeing her ex Calvin with rival Taylor Swift

Calvin Harris is currently being jetted around Europe courtesy of his new girlfriend Taylor Swift, but she's not his first high-profile girlfriend.

Long before even meeting Taylor, Calvin dated How We Do singer Rita Ora, and although things ended extremely messily, Rita says there's no bad feelings there at all nowadays.

Although Calvin was dating another woman prior to meeting Taylor – model Aarika Wolf – all eyes are on Rita now to see what she thinks of her ex's romance with a rival singer. There's no drama here though, as Rita says she's simply not the jealous type.

"I'm a girl's girl. I'm not going to have that first instinct of jealousy vibe," she told the Evening Standard.

Taylor and Rita have been pictured together numerous times at award shows, although they haven't seen much of each other since Calvin came on the scene. In fact, it's rumoured Rita stayed backstage at the recent Billboard Music Awards to avoid coming face-to-face with the couple. However Rita still speaks highly of the Shake It Off singer and says she has the utmost respect for her work.

"I think she's one of the most incredible songwriters of our generation. I'm not even just saying it," she told music channel Noisey back in May. "I support women and it comes back to you. I'd love that support. There's a fine line between believing in yourself and being a f***ng arsehole. I don't step on people's toes," she added.

Calvin and Rita dated for a year before things came to a sudden end last summer. Relations soon turned hostile when Scottish DJ Calvin refused to let his ex perform their joint track I Will Never Let You Down at last year's Teen Choice Awards, something which Rita says made things a bit "weird" between them.

We're glad to see there's no grudges being held after all of that drama.
