The incident occurred in July 2016 after it turned out that Taylor Swift secretly made co-author Hit Harris "This Is What You Came for" under the pseudonym. After that, Harris published a series of remote messages in Twitter, arguing that Taylor is allegedly going to destroy his reputation.
"It was an absolutely wrong step," he remembered Harris in an interview with GQ. "It seemed to me that my only talent was detrimentary, and I was just defended. At that time, I felt as if the trouble would accumulate one after another - and in the end I broke. "
Before that, in September 2016, again, in an interview with the British GQ Kelvin, admitted that public lighting of his gap with Taylor Swift was a heavy test for the musician. "It is very hard when something is so personal illuminated so publicly. The consequences of our relationship covered much more than the relationship themselves. When we were together, we tried very hard that the relationship would not turn into a media "Circus". But when they ended, the present light began. Now I understand that that scandal with Twitter was the result of the fact that I succumbed to this pressure. "
