The reason of their breakup was never confirmed, as Dear John was released only a few months after them shown being happy, with some thinking it was because of his ego. He inspired the implicit song “Dear John”.

Jake Gyllenhaal

October 2010 - December 2010

They broke up due to Jake not "feeling it" anymore and the intense media scrutiny that he received while they dated, although there was earlier signs like when he didn't show up to her birthday party, which was detailed in "The Moment I Knew". It inspired many of her songs off Red, with the most recognized being songs "All Too Well" due to the heavily emotional lyrics.

Calvin Harris

March 2015 - June 2016

They broke up due to numerous factors, but most of it comes down to the song This Is What You Came For which Swift wrote under the pseudonym Nils Sjöberg. She wrote it that way due to her not wanting the relationship to overshadow the song, however, Calvin wanted her role minimized to keep it as much as a secret as possible. He later went on Twitter to rant about it, which changed public opinion but it also changed his.

Tom Hiddleston

June 2016 - September 2016

Their breakup was commonly thought to be due to the pressure of the limelight, with intense media scrutiny. After their relationship, she wrote the song "Getaway Car" which alludes to her feeling horrible about getting in the relationship with him so quickly, and so she ran away.
