Good very early morning!

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

August James

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

Can you just say Hi like a normal person? osjdjsjsj

August James

ooooooh, sorry, no can do!

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

Well, I tried sigh

August James

what do u want from me😩😩

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

I have a theory

August James

I'm curious to know what it is

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

You don't sound curious at all!

August James

I'm shaking in anticipation!

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

You are overflowing with bullshit!

August James

Hmm... Mayhaps :)

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

You mean perhaps...?

August James

Nope! I mean mayhaps!

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

As in maybe and perhaps?

August James

Correctomundo!

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

Your late night self is slowly losing brain cells, isn't she?

August James

One braincell at a time 😔✊

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

Wig anyway

August James

OH MY GOD DO NOT USE INTERNET LINGO ON ME PLS

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

WHY NOT? YOU DO IT ALL THE TIME

August James

YOURE A MILLENNIAL

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

I AM EVERY BIT AS MUCH OF A MILLENNIAL AS YOU ARE

August James

I-

August James

I am not having this conversation right now

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

Uhuuu I mean would you prefer being a gen z kid?

August James

Ew no way

August James

LISTEN

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

I'm listening :)

August James

what was your theory?

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

Not a smooth change of subject, but I'll let it slide anyway because it is a great theory!

August James

Okay, enlighten me!

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

You listen to Harry Styles' music, right?

August James

Uh, yeah! I'm not insane. From the dining table is my go to crying song

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

Interesting...

August James

What is?

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

You, further validating my theory

August James

Which is???!!!!!

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

You were a raging One Direction fan in like 2011-2013 at least

August James

2014... sure, I have no shame in admitting it. I still occasionally listen to their songs!

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

Mhmm and I wouldn't be wrong in assuming that Harry was your favourite, right?

August James

Harry and Zayn, but go on ... I'm interested in seeing where this is going to lead

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

And you *definitely* had a twitter or tumblr account during that time

August James

Okay 🙄 so did you

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

Oh, no, no I'm not shaming your fangirl days. Not at all! I'm just saying

August James

What are you saying... 👀

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

The only reason you refused to listen to my music was because of Harry Styles

August James

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

August James

How did you even get to that conclusion?

August James

I actually snorted out loud

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

No, no, you can laugh but I promise this is a very sound and valid claim

August James

uhhuuu... okay go on

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

Of course you remember what happened around 2012-2013

August James

In what aspect?

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

I "allegedly" dated a Mr. Harry Styles, 1/5 of British Boyband One Direction?

August James

I vaguely remember something of the sort coming up in the news....

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

Sure sure, it's not like those pictures at the park no longer surface on the internet anymore

August James

Oh geez, you still get those shoved in your face? that was like 2012

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

Instagram is a very funny place

August James

true that!

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

BACK TO MY POINT

August James

....

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

What with Harry being your favourite and everything, and him supposedly dating me, and the whole controversy that ensued on social media....

August James

........

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

Do I have to spell it out for you?

August James

No, no I get it

August James

And I gotta say, fair play, but you are wrong!

August James

I thought it was distasteful for fans to send you hate for dating their favourite celebrity

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

How noble of you! But I'm not wrong!

August James

....you are

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

So how come you knew some of my old songs, like you belong with me but not songs from Red which, coincidentally, came out around that period?

August James

....

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

Because deep down inside you were a Harry fan at heart and you couldn't betray him!

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

LAWYERED!

August James

I—

August James

I don't even know how to respond to this

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

Just admit I'm right 😌

August James

I'm still trying to process it

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

Take your time, babe

August James

.......

August James

How did you even know that I'd be a 1D fan?

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

It's only natural. Every teenager in 2012 was either a one direction or justin bieber fan or emo and metal and such which coincided perfectly with certain pop artists

August James

.....

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

And you liked Paramore and My Chemical Romance and Panic! At The Disco and Fall Out Boy, right?

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

One direction had a little more edge than let's say, justin bieber or coldplay or like, Ed Sheeran and plus, they were british

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

It just made sense, and it was pretty easy to put two and two together

August James

... I don't believe it

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

HAJAHAJSJSJSJSJSJSKS

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

I'm fucking with you 😭I found your YouTube account

August James

YOU WHAT

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

August James Styles, right? :)

August James

OH MY FUCKING GOD

August James

HOW DID YOU FIND THAT

August James

WHAT THE FUCK SMDJSJSJS

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

All it took was typing in your name on YouTube! The first video I watched was a lip sync battle with your sister to what makes you beautiful

August James

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

The second one was you showing off all your harry posters in your room, and uh, making out with one???

August James

NO

August James

WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

I liked them all!

August James

FUCKING HELL

August James

I'm ignoring you for the rest of the month

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

aww 😔
