Liam Payne admits he is a secret fan of Harry Styles' ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift

Liam Payne has admitted to being a secret fan of fellow One Direction star Harry Styles' ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift.

The singer, 29, shocked fans by being an unexpected Swiftie by showing off his lyric knowledge.

The One Direction member took to Instagram where he appeared in a music guessing game alongside Molly-Mae Hague's beau Tommy Fury for Soccer Aid.

The pair were tasked with humming songs in an effort to get each other to guess them right.

Liam surprised fans as he passionately hummed along to We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.

Tommy guessed correctly but admitted: "I shouldn't know these songs."

"We are getting a secret look into your playlist here aren't we," Liam replied.

The Love Islander added: "That's a great song."

Liam then continued to show off his Taylor Swift knowledge and sang the chorus whilst pretending to swish his hair.

"Cuteness overload," wrote one fan.

Another added: "Liam is the cutest," whilst someone else commented: "Liam is loving the song right there bahaha."

"But let's be honest... Between these two and @socceraid, who's the biggest Swifty?" asked a fourth.

Harry Styles and Taylor Swift reunited earlier this year at the 2023 Grammys – 10 years after their split.

The 29-year-old As It Was singer and singer-songwriter Taylor, 33, dated from 2012 until 2013.

As Harry, who was dressed in a white and black tuxedo jacket and silver sequin top, made his way to the stage, his ex Taylor was seen standing up and clapping along with the rest of those attending the ceremony.

Harry and Taylor first sparked romance rumours in November 2012, when U.S X Factor host Mario Lopez claimed he saw them holding hands backstage on the show.

They were later photographed during a stroll through New York's Central Park.

However, things weren't to last as it was claimed they parted ways just one month into their romance.

A source at the time claimed: "They are both really busy and never in one place for long. Harry's really upset about the split and is really sensitive about it...

"Loads of his friends told him to be careful and that it was never going to last, and he feels a little foolish now that it's fallen apart so quickly."

Meanwhile, it was later claimed the pair had written songs about their brief romance with fans claiming Taylor's tune ...Ready For It? is about Harry and others believing Two Ghosts is a nod to Taylor.

Liam sparked a conversation earlier this year, as the dad-of-one debuted his new chiselled jaw during a date night with his girlfriend Kate.

Speculation has been mounting since that the star may have undergone the latest Hollywood aesthetic treatment of Buccal Fat removal, giving them a more angular face as a result.

Liam is yet to address the rumours and many fans think the singer's new look could be down to a new gym routine and some dedicated workout sessions.

Liam shares his son Bear, six, with ex Cheryl, but the two X Factor stars ended their romance back in 2018.
