Taylor Swift's Exes: What the Singer's Former Flames Are Doing Now

Taylor Swift’s relationship history is made up of many different types of men, including a British crooner, a Kennedy, an Avengers villain and a movie werewolf. Swift has been linked to massive stars, such as Harry Styles and Joe Jonas, in addition to lesser-known names like Conor Kennedy. All of her past relationships have shaped the singer, and many have wound up being topics in her hit tracks like Lover’s “London Boy,” written about Joe Alwyn. The “Blank Space” singer may have said she’s never getting back together with Styles, Kennedy, Tom Hiddleston or Taylor Lautner, but that doesn’t mean Swifties aren’t keeping up with what her former flames have been up to since their high-profile splits. Scroll down to see what Swift's exes have been doing since they parted ways:

Joe Jonas

Jonas ended his relationship with Swift in a now-famous 27-second phone call in 2008. He went on to date Camilla Belle, Demi Lovato, Ashley Greene, Blanda Eggenschwiler and Gigi Hadid before finding love with Sophie Turner in October 2016. The singer and the Game of Thrones alum tied the knot in May 2019 and welcomed their first child, Willa, in July 2020. Us confirmed in March 2022 that the duo were expecting baby No. 2. Their second baby girl arrived in July 2022.

Jonas filed for divorce after four years of marriage in September 2023. He moved on with model Stormi Bree in January 2024.

Taylor Lautner

Following his three-month romance with Swift in 2009, Lautner moved on with his Abduction costar Lily Collins after meeting on the 2010 movie set. The pair split in September 2011. The actor started dating Marie Avgeropoulos in the summer of 2013, but the duo went their separate ways in January 2015. Lautner then dated Billie Lourd for several months before splitting in July 2017.

He became Instagram official with nurse girlfriend Taylor Dome in October 2018. The couple announced their engagement in November 2021. The duo said “I do” exactly one year later at a winery in California.

The Michigan native has continued to find success in acting since splitting from Swift, playing Jacob Black in five Twilight Saga films. He also starred in Grown Ups 2, Tracers and Run the Tide. The actor played Dr. Cassidy Cascade on Scream Queens before portraying Dale on Cuckoo.

Months after their breakup, Gyllenhaal was spotted with Jessica Lowndes in April 2011 before having a brief fling with Minka Kelly in June 2012.

John Mayer

The pair caused relationship speculation in January 2010 after they were spotted at a two-hour dinner together at Nashville Bistro Cabana. Although their romance was brief, from 2009 to 2010, Mayer has continued to get heat from Swifties who can’t stop trolling him for their breakup. The “Night Light” singer then dated Katy Perry from 2012 to 2014.

The Connecticut native hasn’t let breakups and makeups slow down his career, releasing four albums, including 2021’s Sob Rock, since his hookup with Swift. He also tours with Dead & Company, which was founded by several former Grateful Dead members.

Chord Overstreet

The Glee star was linked to Swift in February 2011 after they attended an L.A. Kings hockey game together. A source told Us at the time that the actor was “into” Swift, but the romance didn’t go anywhere. Overstreet moved on with Emma Roberts, whom he dated for nearly one year before calling it quits in January 2012. He later romanced Ashley Benson, Halston Sage and Brooke Butler before dating Emma Watson for six months in 2018.

Conor Kennedy

Robert F. Kennedy’s grandson had a summer romance with Swift in 2012. After packing on major PDA in Massachusetts for months, the pair called it quits that September. Nearly a decade later, Conor stepped out with model girlfriend Ava Dash at a Hamptons party in June 2021 and began dating Brazilian singer Giulia Be in 2022.

Conor made headlines in December 2016 when he was arrested in Aspen following a bar fight. He pleaded guilty in February 2017 to disorderly conduct, claiming he was defending a friend who was called a homophobic slur. He paid a $500 fine and was ordered to write an apology letter to the victim and abstain from drugs and alcohol for six months. He is also known for his work with the Ocean Alliance.

Harry Styles

The former One Direction singer and the “Bad Blood” songwriter were spotted together at the Central Park Zoo in December 2012. Their romance was short-lived, however, with the pair going their separate ways in early 2013. The former flames proved they are on good terms while attending the 2021 Grammys in March, as they were spotted supporting one another at the show.

Styles was linked to Kendall Jenner in 2013 and sparked reconciliation rumors two years later when they were spotted on a yacht in Anguilla. The “Sweet Creature” crooner was rumored to be dating model Nadine Leopold from 2014 to 2015. Us confirmed in May 2017 that Styles was “casually seeing” Tess Ward before romancing Camille Rowe for a year.

The musician started dating his Don’t Worry Darling director, Olivia Wilde, in January 2021. Us confirmed in November 2022 that the duo split and were taking a break after nearly two years together. He moved on with actress Taylor Russell in June 2023.

Matt Healy

Us exclusively revealed that Swift spent time with the 1975 guitarist in late 2014. The “Robbers” rocker has since dated Halsey (briefly in 2015) and Gabriella Brooks from 2015 to 2019. He was rumored to be seeing FKA Twigs in February 2020 after Healy shared a photo of the pair getting cozy on social media. The musician released several records with his band, The 1975, following his brief fling with Swift, including 2020’s Notes on a Conditional Form.

Healy and Swift were once again romantically linked in May 2023. Their relationship sparked backlash over Healy’s past controversial comments, including poking fun at rapper Ice Spice’s heritage. Swift subsequently released a remix of her song “Karma” with Ice Spice that same month before calling it quits with Healy that June.

Swift detailed her 2023 fling with Healy in 2024’s The Tortured Poets Department. Fans speculate that her tracks “But Daddy I Love Him” and “Down Bad” are among the songs Swift wrote about him. “Matty still thinks very highly of Taylor but we were all nervous about what she might have said on the album,” an insider exclusively told Us in April 2024 of Healy’s reaction to the album.

A second source recalled, “Their relationship was fast, but extremely passionate and real,” noting that although Healy and Swift “don’t speak anymore,” they “had a strong bond” and he will “always hold a special place for her.”

Calvin Harris

The Scottish DJ and Swift dated for 15 months, splitting in June 2016. Harris rekindled his romance with model Aarika Wolf in August 2017, but quickly ended things.

Tom Hiddleston

The Avengers actor dated Swift for three months in 2016 before she broke things off. “She was the one to put the brakes on the relationship,” a source close to the couple told Us in September of that year. “Tom wanted the relationship to be more public than she was comfortable with.”

Hiddleston was linked to Betrayal costar Zawe Ashton in 2020, with The Sun reporting in July that they were living together in Atlanta, Georgia. Us confirmed in March 2022 that the actors are engaged. The pair revealed in June 2022 that they were expecting their first child. Four months later, Us confirmed that the Marvel star and the England native quietly welcomed their baby.

Shortly after his romance with Swift fizzled out, Hiddleston played Jonathan Pine on The Night Manager. He then appeared in Kong: Skull Island, Thor: Ragnarok and portrayed Loki in both Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. His series Loki premiered in 2021 and returned for a second season in 2023. Hiddleston also appeared in The Essex Serpent.
