Harry Styles and Taylor Swift catch up at The Grammys
As Taylor Swift re-records her old albums, fans are hoping a secret Harry Styles collaboration is just one of the songs ‘from the vault’.
’1989 – Taylor’s Version’ is coming out on 27th October and Taylor Swift has confirmed five songs ‘From The Vault’ will be included in the track list this time around.
After the announcement fans have revived the years-old theory that Harry Styles will feature on one of the ‘From The Vault' tracks’, or the re-recording of ‘Style’ which is heavily rumoured to be abut their short relationship.
Swifties have more hope than ever for the collab after another of Taylor’s exes, Taylor Lautner, featured in her recent music video for ‘I Can See You’, from ‘Speak Now – Taylor’s Version (From The Vault)’.
‘The Vault’ tracks refer to the songs Taylor recorded when originally putting her first six albums together, but are the songs that never made the final track lists.
After her announcement about the re-release of ‘1989’, fans flooded Twitter all over again with their theories, demanding Taylor release their "secret collab."
One tweeted: “Taylor Swift putting Taylor Lautner in a music video was the stepping stone to Style Feat. Harry Styles on 1989 Taylor’s Version.”
“Now we just need Style ft Harry Styles in the Vault for 1989,” said another.
“Did taylor allison swift just announce 1989TV yes. did i cry yes. STYLE FT. HARRY STYLES?!?! [sic]” Tweeted a third.

Fans are also pointing out that the former BF and GF recently followed each other on Instagram, adding fuel to the speculation.
'Style’, like most of the ‘1989’ track list, is thought to be all about Taylor and Harry’s relationship, after they briefly dated at the end of 2012 into 2013.
When Taylor first started dropping her re-records, she explained her songs ‘From The Vault’ that would feature on every album had ‘never been heard before’ and would often include some of her favourite singers.
She tweeted at the time: “One thing I’ve been loving about these From The Vault songs is that they’ve never been heard, so I can experiment, play, and even include some of my favorite artists.”
We know for a fact the stars are on good terms, often pictured saying hello to each other and chatting at music events that bring them together, so we’re not ruling out a surprise collab just yet.
