It's been a rollercoaster ride of a breakup, that's for sure. 

Calvin Harris revealed more on Instagram about his Taylor Swift breakup heard 'round the world, as per screenshots captured by media outlets and fan social media accounts.

It's unclear whether or not the Scottish DJ did actually engage with commenters and it seems as if the actual comments have since been deleted. According to Entertainment Weekly, a source revealed that the Instagram remarks did not come from Harris. Despite this, a bevy of screenshots show Harris—or SOMEONE from Harris' account—being extremely candid with fans.

The screenshot conversations included questions about his ownership of Yeezy sneakers. Apparently "they're comfortable as hell" and not worn as a diss towards Swift, who has bad blood with Kanye West. 

While it was initially announced as an amicable split, things got a little weird when both Swift and Harris purged their social media accounts of any hints of a relationship. Rumors of Swift in a new relationship began when she was seen together with British actor Tom Hiddleston and a pile of rocks.

On Instagram Harris, or the actual commenter, claimed they had no idea what was going on, which he said made things worse for him. "She controlled the media and this situation," Harris wrote, in response to a fan who told him he should have expressed his side of the story.  


Harris, or whomever it was, spoke very bluntly in the comments, and told a fan that he could do what he wanted—"like she can. And does," he said. 



 

When asked why he hated Swift, he responded that he did not at all, and in another comment replied that he felt "free" when someone insinuated he was jealous of the singer. 

He repeatedly explained he was feeling amazing, and the reason he continued to engage with the fans was because he had "reached the point of genuine curiosity" and was interested in how the minds of the fans worked.



Whether or not it is Harris, we're not too worried about him. "I'm chillin'," he wrote to a sympathetic fan.  


 

Keep on keeping on, sir.
