We are never, ever, ever getting back together: Taylor Swift and her former boyfriends

So Taylor Swift has been seen with a new man: British actor Tom Hiddleston. The thinking woman's Daniel Craig put on a show of manly pizzazz at the Met Ball in May, when he and Swift embarked upon an impromptu performance of what The Telegraph's dance critic called "possibly the extraordinary dance I've every seen".
泰勒?斯威夫特又在和新男友約會了：英國演員湯姆?希德勒斯頓（“抖森”）。今年五月，在大都會藝術博物館慈善舞會上，湯姆?希德勒斯頓就展現了他的男性魅力，那時他和斯威夫特做了場即興表演，《每日電訊報》的舞蹈評論者說這“可能是我見過的最精彩的舞蹈”。

It was said to have sparked the break-up between her and Scottish DJ Adam "Calvin Harris" Wiles some weeks later, and now the pair have been pictured canoodling on the coast.
據說，此次舞會是她和蘇格蘭流行音樂節目主持人加爾文?哈里斯在幾個星期后分手的導火索，現在這對情侶被拍到在海灘擁抱親吻。

The world, of course, is surprised: there is a 10-year age-gap. Swift is a New York-dwelling superstar taking a hiatus from a global tour and a record-breaking album. Hiddleston is the UK's favourite contender to play the new James Bond, a man who made headlines when his naked bottom appeared on BBC One. How could these two, of all people, be photographed kissing on a rock?
當然，世界都驚呆了：他們的年齡相差10歲。斯威夫特是住在紐約的大明星，剛剛結束世界巡回演唱會，其專輯破了紀錄。而希德勒斯頓是英國人，是扮演新版詹姆斯?邦德最受歡迎的人選，他裸露的下半身出現在英國廣播公司一臺的時候，他登上了各大媒體的頭條。世界上這么多人，怎么偏偏是這兩個人被拍到在巖石上熱吻呢？

But Swift's fans are more likely experiencing a sense of de-ja vu. Here is a woman whose starry love-life is so well documented that she wrote a song about the media's reaction to it. If you're not aware of her trail of exes so far, here's a swift (sorry) recap:
但是斯威夫特的粉絲們更有可能體會到一種似曾相識的感覺。這個女人惹人注目的愛情生活被詳細地記錄在案，她甚至寫了首歌來描述媒體對她戀情的反應。如果你目前對她一連串的前任還不太了解，這里就簡要梳理下斯威夫特的情史：

最后一刻加到專輯《放手去愛》的《天長地久》，斯威夫特告訴滾石唱片，他們關系的結局“真的非常有戲劇性非常瘋狂”，這是處理這種事情的一種方式吧。她一首一首地解讀這張2008年的專輯時，說在這首歌中，喬納斯從她那里“漸漸地（溜）走”。

Famously, Dear John, a near-seven-minute-long ballad accusing a former lover of moving goalposts, playing games and messing with "a girl too young to be messed with". Swift said: 著名的《分手信》。這首敘事歌謠長達將近7分鐘，控訴前任擅自更改相處規則，耍花招敷衍她，和一個“太年輕不好相處的女孩”去相處。斯威夫特說：

"The song Dear John is sort of like the last email you would ever send to someone that you used to be in a relationship with. Usually people write this venting last email to someone and they say everything that they want to say to that person, and then they usually don't send it. I guess by putting this song on the album I am pushing send."

The pop world near-exploded when Swift, then at the peak of her Red-era fame, and Styles – at the summit of his One Direction acclaim – were photographed together in New York. Swift even visited Styles' northern hometown to celebrate her birthday with his family. But it all fell apart by the new year, apparently after a significant row.
那時斯威夫特因專輯《紅》紅極一時，而斯泰爾斯也因單向樂隊受到贊譽而處于巔峰，當他們兩人被拍到一起在紐約，整個流行音樂界幾乎要爆炸了。斯威夫特甚至去了斯泰爾斯位于英國北部的家鄉，與他的家人一起慶祝她的生日。但是這一切在新的一年都土崩瓦解了，顯然他們有過一次嚴重的爭吵。

Did he inspire any songs?
他是否成為斯威夫特某一首歌的靈感？

Some would say the entirety of her 2014 album, 1989, was inspired by Styles. The smoking gun appears to be a paper aeroplane pendant necklace belonging to Styles, that Swift was pictured wearing during their relationship and features in lyrics to songs including Out of the Woods and Style.
有人會說她2014年的專輯《1989》的靈感全部來自斯泰爾斯。確鑿的證據似乎是斯泰爾斯的紙飛機吊墜項鏈，他們交往期間斯威夫特被拍到戴著它，并且在《脫離困境》和《Style》這兩首歌的歌詞中都出現過。

Together, Harris and Swift supported and boosted each-other's careers, but their relationship was lived out in rose-tinted Instagram snaps rather than red carpet appearances.
與斯威夫特以前的關系不同，流行音樂界這對關系短暫的金童玉女從確定關系、記錄戀情發展再到最后結束，都是通過社交媒體。總之，哈里斯和斯威夫特支持和推動了對方的事業，但他們的關系只活在玫瑰色的社交媒體照片里，而沒有紅地毯合體亮相。
