Taylor Swift is changing the face of the music industry, but it seems she might have her eye on a different prize.

This time last year the 25-year-old said she might never have kids but something has clearly changed her mind (cough, cough Calvin, maybe?)

Her career is on the constant rise but when recently speaking to ITV News this week, she was asked where she sees herself in ten years. And her answer? With a family of her own.

Taylor begins her UK tour this Saturday and when speaking to the English broadcaster she explained that she hopes to have a family in her early 30s.

Still, she says she does worry about protecting them from everything that comes along with living life in the public eye.

Indeed, the superstar singer said she has great respect for Angelina Jolie and that she really admires how she raised her six children in the spotlight.

Her admiration for Angelina stretches as “her life is not just for the purpose of making money or coming up with the most lucrative business deals," but for what she constantly gives back.

Last year when speaking to InStyle, Taylor explained that she didn’t have much interest in having her own children.

At the time, she told the magazine: "I don't know if I'll have kids, it’s impossible not to picture certain scenarios and how you would try to convince them that they have a normal life when, inevitably, there will be strange men pointing giant cameras at them from the time they are babies."

Let's hope that Calvin is on the same page too…

They were clearly eager to keep their relationship under wraps in the early days, but increasingly Taylor Swift, 25, and Calvin Harris, 31, have been happy to acknowledge and celebrate their union publicly.

Tay-Tay has already posted images of the duo to her Instagram account… and now Calvin is also sharing the love.

Taking to Twitter, he praised his girlfriend's decision to take on music giants Apple – and also made reference to his recent gig in Las Vegas.

Yesterday, Ms Swift wrote an open letter to the company highlighting that she found it find "shocking," and "disappointing," that it doesn't pay "writers, producers, or artists" during the three-month trial period it is currently offering new customers.

She concluded her letter with: "We don't ask you for free iPhones. Please don't ask us to provide you with our music for no compensation." 

And Apple responded quickly. Indeed, today it announced via executive Eddy Cue that it "will pay artist for streaming, even during customer’s free trial period".

Congratulations, Ms Swift! 

In another sign that their love is the real deal, Calvin has also been looking after his girlfriend's cat while she tours in Europe.

He took to Instagram over the weekend to share a video clip of Dr Meredith Grey (she is also the owner of Detective Olivia Benson) drinking water from a tap.

We can hardly believe it: but the sophisticated, styled and oh-so shiny Taylor Swift of 2015 was not always so.

Indeed, less than a decade ago, she was a cowboy hat-wearing and leather boot-donning all-Southern gal who evidently had no knowledge of GHDs or S&M harnesses.

But on this day nine years ago, a then 16-year-old Tay-Tay began out on her road to superstardom – namely by releasing her debut single, Tim McGraw.

Not that she was a newbie to the industry; she wrote her first song at the age of 12; by 14 she had a manager, and aged 15 she was playing her own music in cafes and bars.

Tim McGraw became an instant hit: selling 2m copies and even creeping into the mainstream Billboard Top 40 – quite the achievement for a Country tune. 

These days, of course, Ms Swift is arguably the biggest pop-star on the planet (she's left behind her Country roots too), and she's already won at the age of 25 no fewer than seven Grammys.

Last year's album (her fifth), 1984, was a massive hit. And its singles, Shake It Off, Blank Space, and Bad Blood all made it to No.1 in the US.

She also has her cats, she has a gorgeous new man in the form of Calvin Harris – and she clearly has a bright future.

Here's to the next nine years, Taylor Swift.

Since Joe Jonas and Gigi Hadid have been seen together, we have all been wondering how Taylor Swift would take the news.

After all, Joe is an ex-boyfriend of the 25-year-old singer and Gigi is her BFF.

However, despite Taylor’s vocalised distaste with most of her ex’s, the Shake it Up songstress couldn’t look happier for the new couple.

Taylor, Joe, and Gigi all had lunch together in a Hollywood restaurant after the baby shower of mutual friend, actress Jamie King.

While Taylor’s beau, Calvin Harris, didn’t make the lunch, he did attend the baby shower, making it somewhat of a double date.

While Joe and Gigi have yet to confirm their romance, the singer and model have been seen out together on a number of occasions. They also looked very cosy together, sitting close to each other during the lunch.

Thankfully, Taylor who was sitting next to the couple, didn’t appear awkward at all but instead laughed and chatted with them throughout the meal.

It appears the Trouble singer has gotten over Mr Jonas dumping her in a 27 second phone call back in 2008. The pair’s bitter split caused Taylor to write Better than Revenge and Forever & Always but it seems new beau Calvin may have inspired her to forgive and forget.

Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris have been moving pretty fast for a couple that have been dating for less than four months.

Having only reportedly MET for the first time at the BRIT Awards in February, the pair have already been paving the way for what looks set to be a long-term relationship. 

We knew things were serious when Taylor introduced Calvin to her precious cats Olivia and Meredith, but now she is set to take yet another big step.

The singer's 1989 tour will hit the UK later this month, and it seems she is all set to meet Calvin's family while she's in the country. Scottish DJ Calvin has hired out the private dining room of a prestigious restaurant in Glasgow for the occasion – and if all goes well, Taylor's mum Andrea might even join them for the evening.

"Calvin has hired the private dining room in the Ubiquitous Chip restaurant for the meeting," a source says. "Taylor's mum Andrea is also hoping to fly over."

The couple have already spent time together in Taylor's home town of Nashville, and were seen attending a country music concert there together back in March. So could the trip to Glasglow be a chance for Calvin to show Taylor some of what his own home country has to offer?

Taylor and Calvin might be a relatively new couple, but they both seem confident that the relationship is set to last, with Taylor even handing over a set of keys to her Los Angeles home last month. 

"Calvin has already moved a bunch of his stuff into Taylor's place," a source told OK! magazine recently.

The pair even shared their first unofficial couple snap last week, when Taylor posted this picture of them both sitting atop a giant inflatable swan.

Given that the picture was shared via Instagram with Taylor's 33.8m followers, it seems she is definitely ready to go public with her new romance. We can expect plenty of loved-up songs on her next album, so…

Earlier this week Taylor and Calvin made their relationship social media official. That's a really big step, so things must be getting pretty serious. 

They are our FAVE couple this week and we all want our relationships to be exactly like theirs, here's the signs that yours already might be. 

1. You took your time making it Instagram official

You didn't just jump straight to it with a selfie from your first date (which you also used to check in on Facebook) No, you kept the people guessing. 

2. Sometimes you leave the house wearing the exact same thing

You guys are both just so in sync that you literally start dressing the same – or maybe you just saw what he was wearing and decided to wear something similar and act shocked when he noticed. 

3. You were set up by a mutual friend

Ellie Goulding setting up Taylor and Calvin is basically the modern love story of our generation. (although Ellie was previously rumoured to be dating him) 

Beware of getting caught up in some sort of love triangle

4. Your squad approves

This can sometimes be considered THE most important thing. If your friends don't approve, they will literally try to convince you he is the devil the minute he does something even remotely bad. You will begin to think that being five minutes late for work is probably the worst this humanly possible.

5. You pet approves too

Well, as much as they are capable of approval. 

6. You just really have the craic together

There isn't really much point otherwise…

Taylor Swift has well and truely broken her social media silence about her current love life. 

Taylor has shared her first Instagram picture with new boyfriend Calvin Harris.

The US singer, took to her social media to share her pool day snap which shows her with her new man – Calvin Harris. 

 

Swan goals.

The pair are both in swimwear and riding a swan-shaped rubber ring in the pool.

This is a huge jump for Taylor, as earlier this week was the first time he got a nod on her social media, celebrating national best friends day. 

This humorous photo really says it all about their fresh romance and the pair seem extremely happy together. 

The 25-year-old looks as slim and stunning as ever with the Scottish DJ as they soak up some rays together with the caption "Swan goals".

Taylor is currently travelling as part of her 1989 tour, but this doesn't stop her finding time for a pool day with Calvin.

You know a relationship has really moved on to the next level when you declare your coupling online.

So let's not downplay the significance of Tay-Tay sharing a shot of her beau, Calvin Harris, on Monday evening. 

The Blank Space singer took to Twitter to celebrate National Best Friends Day (we dunno either, must be an American thing) with a seriously cute pic.

She captioned it: "I took a photo of my favourite people – they were laughing so hard, the lens couldn't capture it fast enough."

The image was posted on the Instagram account of her model pal, Gigi Hadid. 

In the picture, Calvin can be spotted laughing contently in a swish-looking kitchen. And while it may be a bit blurry, there's no doubt it's him! 

Calvin and Taylor were first rumoured to be dating in March of this year and certainly they have been spotted numerous times together since. They even showed some serious PDA at the Billboard Music Awards in May.

Furthermore, Ellie Goulding opened up about Taylor and Calvin's relationship earlier this month. She told The Sun that she was responsible for setting up the cute couple. 

"I did play matchmaker, that's true," she told the newspaper. "Calvin is a really great mate and he's so fantastic, and Taylor is such a cool person who I love. I thought, ‘They're both really awesome and both really tall, they'll be brilliant together.'"

Taylor has gone through her fair share of celebrity boyfriends in the past including Harry Styles, Jake Gyllenhaal, and John Mayer… so clearly she has a thing for guys in the music industry.

Are the pair a match-made-in-heaven? Or can we be expecting a chart-topper from Taylor about their breakup sooner than we think?

There is no celebrity friendship quite like theirs, which is why so many of us have often posed the question of why Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift have never taken things to the next level.

Well, Ed has revealed the real reason why romance has never blossomed between himself and Taylor – and it is probably the most hilarious thing you will hear all weekend.

The Bloodstream singer was chatting on radio show The Breakfast Club this week when the presenters asked him why he and Taylor never became a thing.

When co-host Angela Yee suggested that Taylor ‘wasn’t Ed’s type’, he replied: “Too tall. I don’t know man, I feel like we look like cast members of The Hobbit.”

He hilariously added: “She’s like in the elven kingdom. She’s like, you know, hanging out with Galadriel and I’ve got hairy feet.”

Did he really just compare himself to a hairy hobbit? And is it acceptable to find that really attractive?

While Ed and Taylor may be just good friends, the star did share his thoughts on the Bad Blood singer’s latest squeeze, Calvin Harris.

“He’s a really nice guy. Really, really nice guy. There are certain people that are just nice people in the industry,” said Ed of Calvin.

If he gets Ed’s seal of approval, consider us sold.

Boy, does she move fast!

Photos of a loved-up Taylor Swift, 25, and her DJ boyfriend Calvin Harris, 31, having been popping up everywhere over the last few weeks.

The couple reportedly only met for the first time in February when they both attended the BRIT Awards in London – and it's certainly been a whirlwind romance ever since.

The first photos of the couple kissing surfaced at the Billboard Music Awards earlier this month, and since then they have been spotted everywhere together.

Only two nights ago the Feel So Close singer and Ms Swift were seen leaving her swish New York apartment to go on a date. He has previously dated Ellie Goulding and more recently had a nasty split from Rita Ora.

Tay-Tay has, of course, previously been linked to the likes of Harry Styles, Jake Gyllenhaal, and John Mayer.

And on Tuesday she was added to the prestigious Forbes 100 Most Powerful Women list.

The elite business publication stated that Taylor “has not only broken record sales and captivated the world with her fantastically honest lyrics, but she has proven herself as an impressive businesswoman.”

Let’s hope that this time round Taylor’s success will stretch to her love life too… we reckon she deserves it.

Many Taylor Swift fans may have been left very worried about the blonde beauty lately after rumours surfaced that her new boyfriend Calvin Harris has been cheating on her.

According to Star magazine, the DJ was spotted with a mystery brunette at a pool party recently.

A source apparently said: "Calvin and the girl were walking super close together and left in the same car. He’s the biggest DJ in the world and spends his time in clubs surrounded by ladies. What’s going to stop him from cheating?"

Taylor's friends were then rumoured to have warned the singer that Calvin is a player.

However, we can now clear up that these rumours are meant to be completely false.

Gossip Cop have said they have "reached out to a source close to Swift, who tells us she and Harris are fine and the tabloid’s tale is 'nonsense.'"

Phew!

We definitely think these two are going to last after their super cute PDA at the Billboard Music Awards earlier this week.

Ever since Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris were first spotted together back in March, we've been waiting for them to officially confirmed their relationship.

The pair have been spotted holding hands a few times, and Calvin's even braved a severe cat hair allergy to hang out with Taylor's feline pals, but until now that's about as far as the rumoured romance has gone.

Now though, the pair have openly addressed things for the first time, getting seriously cosy at last night's Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas. Taylor took home a whopping eight awards on the night, and was quick to show her happiness by leaning in for a kiss and a hug with her new man on more than one occasion.

According to Us Weekly, the singer got up and chatted to numerous friends during the show's commercial breaks, and introduced Calvin to pals including Hailee Steinfeld, Nick Jonas and others.

Calvin definitely passed the "suitable boyfriend" test by getting pally with Taylor's bestie Ed Sheeran, who sat next to the pair during the show.

We sense a serious bromance here:

Sources close to Taylor say that she is smitten with Calvin, and that the pair make a great team. "They're making time for each other in a way that other guys she's been with haven't before," an an insider told Us Weekly. "They're taking it one step at a time."

The Shake It Off singer opened up about her dating woes in a recent interview with Glamour US, saying the media refused to allow her to have a normal love life like any other twenty-something.

"I think the media has sent me a really unfair message over the past couple of years, which is that I’m not allowed to date for excitement, or fun, or new experiences or learning lessons," she admitted. "I’m only allowed to date if it’s for a lasting, multiple-year relationship. Otherwise I’m a, quote, ‘serial dater’. Or, quote, ‘boy crazy.’"

We're delighted to see things working out for her.
