In the same year, Swift said at the Global's The Morning Show,
"You always kind of have that one person who you feel like might interrupt your wedding and be like, ‘Don’t do it, we’re not over yet.’ I think everybody has that one person who kind of floats in and out of their life and the narrative is never truly over.”
In 2017, the Watermelon Sugar singer Harry Styles was interviewed by Rolling Stones where he said that the couple broke up due to huge public attention.
