When Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris -- two of the biggest names in music -- split up, they tried to keep their breakup amicable. No longer. 
 
Harris on Wednesday denounced his former&nbsp;girlfriend as a bully after it was revealed that she co-wrote his recent hit &quot;This Is What You Came For&quot;, which features Rihanna on vocals. 
 
&quot;I figure if you&#39;re happy in your new relationship you should focus on that instead of trying to tear your ex bf down for something to do,&quot; the Scottish DJ wrote on Twitter, alluding to Swift&#39;s blossoming romance with English actor Tom Hiddleston. 
 
Harris also hit a potential sore spot by referring to Swift&#39;s famed bad blood with fellow US pop superstar Katy Perry. 
 
&quot;I know you&#39;re off tour and you need someone new to try and bury like Katy ETC but I&#39;m not that guy, sorry. I won&#39;t allow it,&quot; he tweeted. 
 
&quot;This Is What You Came For&quot;, featuring Harris&#39; signature house music sound with a tropical touch, was credited as written by him with &quot;Nils Sjoberg&quot;. 
 
Several celebrity news outlets quoted Swift&#39;s representatives as saying she actually co-wrote the song but did not want to be identified so their relationship would not overshadow the song. 
 
The song may have triggered the break-up, gossip site TMZ said, as Swift became angry when Harris told an interviewer he had never discussed collaborating with his then-girlfriend. 
 
They announced their break-up several days later. Harris appeared polite at the time, saying &quot;a huge amount of love and respect&quot; remained between them. 
 
Swift has been spotted around the world with Hiddleston in the past month. 
 
The theater actor went on to appear in Marvel Comics films such as &quot;Thor&quot; and &quot;The Avengers&quot; as well as Woody Allen&#39;s &quot;Midnight in Paris&quot;. 
 
As for the real Nils Sjoberg, a man by the name who works at a hotel in Gothenburg, Sweden told the New York Post that he had no problem with being credited on the song.

Harris took to twitter against Swift and wrote she should focus on her current relationship rather than trying to tear him down

Former boyfriend Calvin Harris blasts Taylor Swift after song revelation

At the tender age of 26, Taylor Swift is the world&#39;s highest-paid celebrity, pulling in a whopping $170 million over the past year, Forbes magazine said Monday. 
 
The pop diva&#39;s take from June 2015 to June 2016 is the highest total of her young career, the magazine said, more than doubling her previous record of $80 million last year. 
 
She out-earned other famous musicians including Adele ($80.5 million), Madonna ($76.5 million), Rihanna ($75 million) and Bruce Springsteen ($60.5 million). 
 
The &quot;Shake It Off&quot; singer also outpaced rival Katy Perry who was last year&#39;s top-earning musician at $135 million, according to Forbes magazine&#39;s annual list of 100 highest-paid celebrities. 
 
Perry dropped to number 63 on this year&#39;s list, earning a mere $41 million.&nbsp; 
 
Swift&#39;s huge earnings were largely thanks to her &quot;1989 World Tour&quot; during which she smashed the Rolling Stone&#39;s North American record, grossing $200 million on the continent en route to a quarter of a billion worldwide, the magazine said. 
 
Coming in at number two on the list this year was the boy band One Direction, ($110 million), followed by author James Patterson ($95 million). 
 
Taylor&#39;s former beau, musician Calvin Harris, also made the cut coming in at number 21 ($63 million). 
 
&quot;The world&#39;s 100 highest-paid celebrities pulled in $5.1 billion pretax over the past 12 months, more than the GDP of Belize, Gambia and Bhutan combined,&quot; Forbes said. 
 
Magazine editor Zack O&#39;Malley Greenberg said live entertainment continues to be a major cash draw. 
 
&quot;From soccer games in Spain to concerts in China, fans are willing to shell out to see big names, and this is driving the celebrity economy to ever greater heights,&quot; he said in a statement. 
 
On the Hollywood front, Jennifer Lawrence was the industry&#39;s highest-paid actress for the second consecutive year, earning $46 million, a slight drop from the $52 million &quot;The Hunger Games&quot; star banked the year before.&nbsp; 
 
Actor Dwayne Johnson wrestled the highest-paid actor spot from &quot;Iron Man&#39;s&quot; Robert Downey Jr., earning $64.5 million, largely thanks to the billion-dollar &quot;Fast and Furious&quot; franchise and the surprising success of 2015&#39;s &quot;San Andreas&quot; movie.&nbsp; 
 
Many athletes also made the list, including Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo ($88 million), tennis star Roger Federer ($68 million), and German race car driver Sebastian Vettel ($41 million)

Taylor Swift world's highest paid celebrity: Forbes

Rapper Kanye West set tongues wagging on Monday with his latest music video that features nude portrayals of high-profile celebrities including pop singer Taylor Swift, Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump and comedian Bill Cosby. 
 
The music video for Famous, which premiered on E! News, featured low-resolution footage depicting 12 celebrities sleeping next to each other with West situated in the middle, nestled between Swift and his wife, reality star Kim Kardashian. 
 
Other celebrities include former US President George W Bush, Vogue editor Anna Wintour, rapper Chris Brown, R&amp;B singer Ray J, transgender reality star Caitlyn Jenner, model Amber Rose and singer Rihanna, who provided vocals for the song. 
 
E! blurred out depictions of breasts and genitals. It is not known if the portrayals are paintings or wax statues, but in some cases it appears to be the actual celebrity posing. 
 
The video ends by pausing on the sleeping faces of Swift, Rihanna and Brown over the audio of heavy breathing. 
 
Representatives for West, Kardashian, Jenner, Trump and Cosby declined to comment on the video. Representatives for the other celebrities did not immediately return requests for comment. 
 
E! News host Jason Kennedy said, &quot;Kanye wants everyone to know this is not a video. This is an art visual.&quot; 
 
The imagery for Famous is inspired by artist Vincent Desiderio&#39;s 2008 painting Sleep, which featured people in various states of undress sleeping next to each other. 
 
Desiderio called West&#39;s video &quot;a tableau that was disturbingly familiar, rapturously beautiful and frighteningly uncanny&quot;, in an essay published on Monday for W Magazine. 
 
West, known for often embarking on rambling &quot;tweetstorms&quot; on social media, held the first screening of the &quot;Famous&nbsp;video in Los Angeles late on Friday. 
 
The video quickly became a trending topic online over the weekend, especially due to West&#39;s complicated history with Swift. 
 
The rapper famously interrupted Swift&#39;s acceptance speech at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards and snatched her microphone award out of her hand. The duo buried the hatchet at last year&#39;s MTV Video Music awards, but the truce did not last long. 
 
The two fell out again in February after West&#39;s song Famous, off his latest album The Life of Pablo, featured the lyric &quot;I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex, I made that bitch famous&quot;. 
 
West claimed Swift had approved the lyric, but the pop singer&#39;s representative said Swift was never aware of the lyric and had cautioned the rapper about the &quot;strong misogynistic message&quot; in the song.
