Harry Styles + Taylor Swift

#Haylor shippers everywhere freaked out today, due to a Rolling Stone interview in which Harry Styles opened up about his relationship with ex Taylor Swift. Styles' comments are honest and mature, and it's just one more reason to root for the newly solo star's success.

Quote Of The Day: "Who's to say that young girls who like pop music — short for popular, right? — have worse musical taste than a 30-year-old hipster guy?" — Styles, defending his female fans. Amen.

Women Writers + Everyday Sexism
