Taylor Swift is flaunting something she hasn’t had in a while — a new man.
The 25-year-old singer seemingly confirmed her rumored romance with DJ Calvin Harris, 31, when the two were spotted holding hands Thursday after leaving a concert at The Troubador in West Hollywood.
So what exactly is there to know about her current squeeze?
1.) He’s is a Scottish-born musician
Calvin Harris, real name Adam Richard Wiles, is a singer, producer, song writer and DJ. Harris went from stocking shelves in a grocery store in his hometown of Dumfries, Scotland to putting out a gold-selling album in 2007.

2.) His most recent famous ex is Rita Ora — and he broke her heart
You hear that, Taylor? He broke her heart. Harris announced their split via Twitter last summer and Ora said she couldn’t bring herself to do the same. “Honestly, if Calvin hadn’t done it, I wouldn’t have. It took me five days to write three sentences. It was massive,” the singer-actress told Glamour UK of the break-up tweet. Harris has also been romantically linked to model Anne Vyalitsyna, singer Ellie Goulding and model Aarika Wolf.

3.) He’s an underwear model
Harris has an impressive body and he’s not afraid to show it. The handsome star left very little to the imagination when he stripped down to his skivvies to model in the Spring/Summer 2015 Emporio Armani ad campaign. Fun fact: Harris also appears in a mock movie poster that appears in the upcoming “Entourage” film.

Calvin Harris topped the Forbes list in 2014 for World’s Highest-Paid DJ.
4.) He was ranked No.1 on Forbes’ list of World’s Highest-Paid DJs in 2014
Cha-ching! Harris brought in a whopping $ 66 million last year from playing more than 125 gigs, Forbes reported. Swift came in at No. 2 on the Forbes’ list for Highest-Paid Women In Music, raking in $ 64 million in 2014.

Say what? Calvin Harris just said Taylor Swift was the ‘opposite’ of his type in an interview last month.
5.) Taylor Swift isn’t his type
During an interview with Capital FM Breakfast in early March, he was asked which starlet he would swipe right for if he was on Tinder. When Swift’s name was mentioned, Harris said: “She’s just the opposite of my type. She looks lovely but she’s the opposite of my type so I would just go left.”

While things are clearly now heating up between the two, Harris should probably be on his best behavior as Swift is notorious for turning her real-life relationships and heartbreak into music gold.
Her past list of Hollywood paramours (and song inspirers) include Joe Jonas, Taylor Lautner, John Mayer, Jake Gyllenhaal, Harry Styles and Conor Kennedy.
While Harris’ line-up of former lovers isn’t’ quite as impressive as Tay’s, he has musically been linked to some of the biggest top-selling artists in the business like Rihanna, Ellie Goulding, Kesha, Gwen Stefani, Florence Welch and Kylie Minogue.
Perhaps if things don’t work out, Harris and Swift could always collaborate on a break-up ballad.
