TAYLOR SWIFT HAS had it with people calling her ‘Harry Styles’ ex-girlfriend’, and she’s not going to be quiet about it.

The singer took issue with this tweet from OK! Magazine (since deleted), which read:

Singer @taylorswift13 has made a ‘pregnancy announcement’!

A link in the tweet lead to an article about Swift helping two fans announce they were expecting a baby:

Thank you so much @taylorswift13 helping me tell the world IM GOING TO BE A DAD! #BabiesFirstConcert @lindseyjo86 pic.twitter.com/8135go8e3e

So far, so misleading, right? But there’s more.

The first sentence of the article originally referred to TayTay as “Harry Styles’ ex-girlfriend”, and further on in the piece she was called “Calvin Harris’ rumoured girlfriend”.

As you might expect, Taylor was NOT happy, and called them out in a pointed tweet:

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

(BTW Taylor, in case you’re reading: excellent meme choice.)

Swifties were typically hyperbolic about her response:

.@taylorswift13 Literally BEST response in the entire world

Here’s a few options for magazine’s looking for labels for Taylor in the future: ‘Grammy winner’, ‘writer of the banger that is Blank Space’, ‘All Round Badass’, etc.
