When we first met Calvin Harris back in 2007, he was a scrawny and scruffy brown-haired DJ with a very questionable set of teeth.

But after disappearing from the spotlight for a while, he re-emerged last year as the face (and body) of Armani, with a downright incredible set of abs… and a new set of pearly whites by the looks of it.

Now the reinvented Scot divides his time between New York, Las Vegas and LA as he hangs out with girlfriend Taylor Swift in between DJ gigs. With an high-earning lifestyle and an enviable image these days, Calvin would be forgiven for wanting to leave his past behind him, but he took to Instagram today to post a VERY down to earth throwback.

Sharing a picture of a much younger and less preened Calvin about to down a Jagerbomb with his friend, the DJ poked some fun at his former self by writing, "ME AND IRV IN JUMPIN JAKS DUMFRIES 2002 LOOKING FUCKING FANTASTIC #SCOTLAND#LIFE #IRV #LEGEND."

While it's fair to assume that a hefty amount of styling and dental work went into Calvin's new image, a lot of the transformation is down to a rigorous diet and fitness regime. The DJ rarely drinks and is said to be addicted to his abs roller, which he whips out whenever he has a spare few minutes.

"Staying in a gym routine while on the road is tricky, but as long as you don't drink, eat well, sleep enough and take one of those mad little ab rollers with u everywhere you'll be good," he wrote on Instagram recently, posting a seflie ahead of his next Armani shoot.

And it seems Calvin chose wisely when he started dating Taylor, as he has since admitted that her culinary skills are one of the qualities he values most in her. "It's really ridiculous but yeah she does an incredible barbeque and she's generally an incredible cook and human being," he told radio station Key 103 earlier this month, adding that he was "insanely happy."

Bet he misses the Jagerbombs though…

Well, as if we weren’t feeling a touch jealous of Tay-Tay herself already, her new love has to go and do this. We’re having a tough time concentrating after these photos caught our eye.

Not only is he the world’s highest paid DJ and boyfriend of the uber-famous Taylor Swift, now Calvin Harris has landed himself an Emporio Armani modelling campaign.

He really is the complete package! Pun absolutely intended. He is a very impressive male model.

In the brand’s 2015 Autumn campaign Calvin appears to have (dare we say it) out done former model David Beckham in the chiselled department. Just look at those abs!

The Scottish native has been making heads turn for quite a while now but he seems to have taken it to a whole new level in this latest set of photos.

The 31-year old has appeared for the brand before. Earlier this year he was featured, in all his glory, in their steamy spring campaign.

According to Giorgo Armani, "Calvin Harris is a truly cosmopolitan, dynamic young man who is capable of attracting the masses with his music and energy."

They went on to say: "He isn't a model by nature, and this creates a more sincere and engaging bond with the public."

We think that he certainly looks like he’s got the whole modelling thing down. Those close-ups , even when he is fully clothed, are certainly appealing in their own right.

Quite the talented individual he is. Shall we just admit now then? That Taylor Swift is a very lucky lady? We think so.

Taylor Swift is a big ol' romantic, and she's not going to let us forget that any time soon.

The singer revealed over the weekend that she credits one thing in particular with bringing her and Calvin Harris together… a "magical spell" cast by none other than Lady Gaga. We kid you not.

Taylor's admission came when a fan tweeted to lament about his own love life, writing, "I pride myself on still thinking love can be like a romantic comedy but sometimes I just think I'm behind and just won't catch up."

Never one to let a fan get down on themselves, Taylor responded a few hours later and referenced a message she'd gotten from Lady Gaga a few months back.

"Go read Gaga's tweet that she sent me a few months ago. It's good love luck. Because it's not a tweet. It's a magical spell," she wrote.

The tweet in question, sent back in March, came after news of Gaga's engagement to Taylor Kinney hit the media. "Is it just me or is Lady Gaga, like, fully LIVING right now?" wrote T-Swift at the time. Gaga then responded by calling Taylor a "a sweetheart" and adding, "Your prince charming will come!"

Just a couple of weeks later, Taylor's budding romance with Scottish DJ Calvin became official when he flew her out to Las Vegas in a private jet to watch him perform. Yup, that spell worked. Very well indeed.

Gaga continued the good karma flow over the weekend when she took to Twitter again to tell Taylor, "I only cast happy spells! Unless there's bad blood. I have a separate cauldron for that. Happy for u."

Too cute.

Cuteness overload. Calvin Harris is loving life as Taylor Swift's new boyfriend and he's not afraid to talk about it.

Although a quick glance at Taylor or Calvin's social media feeds leave no doubt that the pair are most definitely an item, neither of the lovebirds have spoken in public about their relationship… until now. 

Speaking to UK radio station Kiss FM this week, the Scottish DJ said he was "insanely happy" despite all the over-hyped media coverage surrounding his blossoming romance with T-Swift. "It's interesting because obviously there's a different thing written about it [their relationship] every day, you know, and it's kind of like even if we don't do anything publicly for a while, someone will make something up," he explained.

"But for me it could still be a lot worse and I'd still be like insanely happy with it, so I'm good with it.''

The smitten star says he is even willing to deal with all of the "ridiculous" stories that have been fabricated about the pair. "There'll be some sort of story, and they get more and more ridiculous. Whether I'm allergic to cats or we're moving in or we're getting married next week, you've just got to take it how it is, which is just that sort of news story which people read."

Calvin and Taylor met for the first time at the BRIT Awards back in February, just two weeks before Calvin split from his girlfriend of one year, Aarika Wolf. Coincidence? We think not.

Since getting together the couple have had a whirlwind romance, with Calvin accompanying Taylor to various cities on her 1989 tour and the pair fitting in quality time at the Shake It Off singer's homes in New York, LA and Rhode Island.

We're delighted to see they're both so happy!

They’ve only been together for a few months but apparently these two love birds are already talking about marriage.

Taylor Swift, 25, and Calvin Harris, 31 (aka Taylvin), met and got together in February and have since been showcasing their loved-up status as a twosome all over social media.

Taylor’s celebrity filled party last weekend seemed to be just another excuse for her and beau, and her beau’s abs, to appear on our Instagram feeds seeming completely smitten.

According to Reveal magazine the two are taking their relationship to the next level by planning their future together.

A source told the publication that despite being worth a total of €130m, neither wants to sign a prenuptial agreement, but they are at least happy to talk honeymoons.

Apparently the two are big adventure seekers, as the source said they “would love to take a camper van and disappear either in Europe or North America for a while."

They’ve also apparently been discussing serious details about the Big Day. Taylor apparently “would love a big wedding at home but she loved Scotland and could be persuaded to do it there, especially as her family can travel more than his extended family can."

Things certainly seems to be escalating rather quickly for the pair.

There are reports, however, that Taylor’s family may not be so on-board with her not wishing to sign a pre-nup (fair enough really – she's worth at least twice what he is).

Taylvin have even just recently surpassed megastars Beyoncé and Jay-Z are the world’s most powerful couple.

The source says that Tay-Tay and Mr Harris both “know what they want from the future” so apparently “pre-nups and marriage came up in the conversation almost straight away”.

There hasn’t been any comment from reps for either of the stars on the story, so maybe we might be getting our hopes up; but could you imagine the invite list for that wedding?

Last year Taylor Swift gave us some serious squad envy when she spent the day hanging out with Girls stars Lena Dunham, and her bestie Jaime King.

Oh, and Emma Stone, just because she’s Taylor Swift.

This year she took things to a whole new level. In part because her new BF has got some serious abs happening. Have you seen Calvin Harris’ abs? If you haven’t let Taylor help you out.

This girl knows how to celebrate the 4th of July.

Earlier in the day the Bad Blood singer posted some great snaps of her squad celebrating the American holiday at what looks like an epic pool party.

Not content with making it a couple’s only affair, Taylor’s other famous friends were on hand to help get the weekend started early.

On Friday the whole squad were chilling on their favourite pool accessories, including unicorns and swans.

Some of the other famous faces included Gigi Hadid, Martha Hunt the Victoria’s Secret mode and the members of the band Haim. We have serious FOMO.

Taylor captioned the image “Swan squad,” because she loves that inflatable swan.

It first made its social media debut last month with Taylor and Calvin confirming their relationship status in a cute photo.

We bet that swan knows some secrets.

Thank you Taylor, for making our weekend plans seem a little less exciting. To be fair, she has earned a little downtime considering her 1989 tour has been one big energetic whirlwind since it began in May.

Calvin Harris and Taylor Swift are undoubtedly one of the most powerful couples in the world at the moment, despite the fact that neither of them has even spoken about their blossoming romance to the media. If it wasn't for the joys of social media (and the photographers at this year's Billboard Awards) we'd have no way of even knowing the couple were official.

But while Taylor has been enjoying sharing an insight into her new relationship via Instagram over the last few weeks, her new man hasn't been feeling quite so open.

Instead of the cute couple shots that have been popping up on Taylor's feed, all Calvin has given us so far is a look at the singer's famous feline friends, Olivia and Meredith… until now.

Obviously feeling all loved-up after a whirlwind trip around the UK and Ireland over the last week as part of Taylor's 1989 World Tour, Calvin finally gave us his own glimpse into the couple's lives.

Posting a picture of Taylor grilling some veggies and steaks on a barbecue, Scottish DJ Calvin wrote, "She cooks too" followed by a series of flame emojis.

Cute!

Although this is the first time Calvin's posted a picture of his new lady love, he did (sort of) address the relationship on Twitter last week when he congratulated Taylor on her win over Apple's new music streaming service.

"I just played a gig inside a giant owl and my girl just changed the entire music industry what a day," he wrote in a "subtle" reference to his new girlfriend.

We're glad to see the pair are doing well – here's to more cute pictures soon.

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.

As die-hard Taylor Swift fans (shameless one, at that), we thought we knew everything there was to know about the Taylor/Calvin love story.

He's allergic to her cats but he puts up with it, they love a good gluten-free pizza and their favourite mode of transport is an inflatable swan. That's everything, right? Not quite.

Singer Selena Gomez, who happens to be one of Taylor's besties, was speaking on a New Zealand radio station this week when she dropped a serious bombshell about the couple. Chatting to hosts Guy Williams, Sharon Casey and Clint Roberts, Selena revealed that Taylor doesn't refer to her man as "Calvin," as we had all thought.

She doesn't call him by a nickname either, though. Nope, she calls him "Adam"…. which it turns out is his name IRL. Mind. Blown.

Selena made the comment when chatting about how hard to was to figure out whether to call her own ex-boyfriend Zedd by his real name, Anton.

"I made this deal," she said. "I said it to Calvin Harris too. I was like, ‘Look, you guys have two names. It really is frustrating. I need to know which name I should call you because I don’t know what is what. So I speak with the real names. Adam and Anton."

Hear the clip below from 5:25:

Born Adam Richard Wiles, Scottish DJ Calvin has been using his stage name for over a decade, but outside of work he prefers his birth title.

Of course, a couple wouldn't be a couple without some cutesy pet names, and a source reveals to HollywoodLife that Taylor does call her man "Addy" from "time to time."

Wonder if he calls her "Tay-Tay"?

Two of celebville's hottest new couples went on a seriously cool double-date in London yesterday – taking to the River Thames waves for a private boat ride.

Taylor Swift, who this evening takes her tour to Dublin, was there with her boyf Calvin Harris in tow, while Gigi Hadid brought love-interest Joe Jonas.

Then, just to make the whole situation even cooler, former Victoria's Secret angel Karlie Kloss tagged along for good measure. Can you even be a third wheel is you're one of the world's highest paid models? Seemingly so.

Tay-Tay, 25, and 31-year-old Calvin were recently named as showbiz's most powerful couple – and they certainly look incredibly loved-up as the boat made its way through the English capital.

Less tactile, but every bit as cute, were 22-year-old Gigi and Joe, 25 – and good to see that, once again, there's no awkwardness whatsoever between exes Miss Swift and Mr Jonas.

Karlie Kloss can be seen in the centre of the same image – which was posted this morning to Taylor's Instagram account – smiling warmly. Her long-term boyfriend, 30-year-old entrepeneur Joshua Kushner, was sadly absent.

​"Little known fact: Karlie is secretly an unofficial historian/London tour guide. Kind of,” Swift captioned the photo.

It has already notched up in excess of a million likes.

They may have only confirmed their relationship status with subtle shout outs and PDA filled snaps on social media but Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris are officially the music industry’s most powerful couple.

Queen B and her husband Jay-Z have officially been dethroned.

According to Forbes the talented duo are number one in the ranking of highest paid celebrity couples ranking. The world’s highest paid DJ and his Bad Blood singing bae brought in an impressive €130 million last year.

Mr and Mrs Carter meanwhile racked up just under €100 million. No slacking off in that household. 

While Beyoncé and Jay’s On The Run collaboration tour was hugely successful, and also incredibly stylish, Taylor’s endorsement deals and multiple contracts for Harris mean they managed to kick the Carters off the top spot.

No hard feelings, we’re sure.

Taylor has deals with Sony and Keds while DJ Calvin maintains contracts with Giorgio Armani and Sol Republic.

The magazine teased the news as part of their Celebrity 100 issue, and in the ranking of celebrity earners only three couples made the list. Aside from Taylor, Calvin and the Carters, country music stars Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton made the list.

Not that these stars aren’t sharing the love. Taylor has been in the news recently for her generous donations to a family from Texas who were severely injured in a car accident. There’s also her latest trend of giving credit to her fans when reposting their photos from her concerts.

Both Tay and her new BF have careers that seem to be getting bigger and bigger, so as long as they stay together, they could end up being a serious celebrity power couple.
