Calvin Harris is swinging a wrecking ball at the swirling rumors of a feud, seeking to clarify the controversy surrounding his collaboration with Miley Cyrus. After raising eyebrows with his comments about a shelved joint project with Cyrus, the producer behind the smash hit "We Found Love" has come forward to clarify his remarks, steadfastly denying any malice towards her.
On August 17th, through a TikTok video, Calvin offered a tantalizing glimpse into a collaboration titled "Ocean" with an enigmatic female artist, captioning it with his heartfelt endorsement, "I love it." While some fans rejoiced at the upcoming track's electrifying techno vibe, others couldn't help but notice that the DJ had previously dropped hints about an unreleased version featuring Miley's captivating vocals.
One curious user inquisitively asked, "What happened to the one with Miley?????", while another fan passionately declared, "I love Miley's version more." In response to the latter, Calvin playfully retorted, "Tell her," and when pressed further about the whereabouts of Miley's version, he responded with cryptic, almost shrouded messages like, "I do not know" and "My bad," leaving fans even more intrigued and eager for answers.
His enigmatic responses sparked curiosity among fans, who began to speculate if there was drama behind Calvin's decision to re-record "Ocean" with another singer. One user even wondered if it was Miley's team's fault, commenting, "This was Miley's team's fault? Because the original vibe was amazing." But the artist behind "This Is What You Came For" swiftly quashed those rumors, responding, "Nah, it was my bad...crossed wires."
In fact, the 41-year-old Calvin went further to clear the air regarding his relationship with the Grammy winner, insistently stating in another comment, "I love Miley." As for Miley, she has remained silent on why her collaboration with the producer may never materialize. However, she has previously opened up about being selective about who she includes in her inner circle of celebrities.
"I am not very active or a prominent part of my community of other artists, entertainers, and celebrities," Miley admitted during an appearance on David Letterman's My Next Guest Needs No Introduction in 2024. Speaking of attending industry events, she added, "It just doesn't feel like my people when I'm in that room." Nevertheless, she noted that she does make exceptions, citing her enduring friendship with Beyoncé, with whom she collaborated on the 2024 Cowboy Carter track "II Most Wanted." She explained, "I'm a part of my community in that way, but again, it's all about quality, not quantity."
