Calvin Harris hints at Taylor split at GQ
Calvin Harris hinted about his break up with Taylor Swift as he picked up his GQ award.
The 32-year-old DJ collected the Patron Solo Artist Of The Year Award at the GQ Men of the Year Awards 2016 on Tuesday night (06.09.16), and admitted he had "been through a lot" in the past year, which appeared to be a nod towards his split from the 26-year-old singer, which they confirmed in June after 15 months together.
Speaking at the ceremony, the ‘This Is What You Came For’ musician said: "I feel at 32 I’m nearing the end. Just kidding. This week 100 years ago was when I left Marks and Spencer Simply Food in Clapham South where I carried out such tasks as date-rotating sandwiches and moving the salmon. I’d like to dedicate this to my manager Mark Gillespie for being a fantastic man. We’ve been through a lot and discovered a lot this year."
The news of the ‘Summer’ singer’s thinly veiled jibe at the Taylor comes after it was reported she has split from her new beau Tom Hiddleston, 35.
The pair appeared to be loved up together just two weeks after the ‘Bad Blood’ musician’s split from Calvin, and their relationship lasted three months.
As well as Calvin, several artists picked up accolades at the GQ Men of the Year Awards at the Tate Modern in London, including Aidan Turner, who won Best Actor, Bella Hadid for Model of the Year, and Claudio Ranieri – the manager of Leicester City Football Club – who took home the award for Outstanding Achievement.
Sir Michael Caine was awarded this year’s Legend title, alongside comedian Billy Connolly who took home the Inspiration award.
Other winners included London mayor Sadiq Khan as Best Politician, DJ Mark Ronson for Most Stylish, and Amy Schumer who won Overall Best woman.
