Calvin Harris has surprised fans by admitting he is "blessed" to have worked with ex girlfriend Taylor Swift.

Calvin, 32, praised Taylor, 26, on Twitter for writing his song This Is What You Came For, which also features Rihanna.

Calvin brought RiRi in to record the vocals on the song as he and Taylor - who dated for 15 months before they split in June - feared their relationship would overshadow the track if they released it together.

After a Rihanna fan account tweeted, "This Is What You Came For is the only song released this Year to be certified 2x platinium in the UK congrats @CalvinHarris and @rihanna (sic)," Calvin quoted the message and wrote: "I am blessed to work with incredible artists @rihanna @taylorswift13 thank you!!! (sic)."

The track sparked a major row between Taylor and Calvin after their split in June, as it emerged that the singer was the person behind songwriter pseudonym Nils Sjoberg.

After epresentatives for the singer confirmed her involvement, Calvin took to Twitter to slam her for trying to "tear [him] down".

He wrote: "And she sings on a little bit of it too. Amazing lyric writer and she smashed it as usual.

"Hurtful to me at this point that her and her team would go so far out of their way to try and make ME look bad at this stage though.”
