Harris got upset because his career was being overshadowed by his relationship with Swift, "I was protecting my one talent from being belittled."

"Now I see that Twitter thing as a result of me succumbing to pressure," he said. "It took me a minute to realize that none of that matters. I'm a positive guy."

Now that the dust has settled, we're left wondering why we bother with love if it never lasts.
