According to UsMagazine.com, Harry Styles recently opened up to Rolling Stone about his romance with Taylor Swift — and he had nothing but nice things to say about his celebrity ex. Addressing the photos of them together in Central Park on their second date, he shares, “When I see photos from that day, I think: Relationships are hard, at any age. And adding in that you don’t really understand exactly how it works when you’re 18, trying to navigate all that stuff didn’t make it easier. He elaborates further by saying, “I mean, you’re a little bit awkward to begin with. You’re on a date with someone you really like. It should be that simple, right? It was a learning experience for sure. But at the heart of it — I just wanted it to be a normal date.” He even appreciates that Swift penned numerous songs about their former celebrity relationship and says, “I like tipping a hat to the time together.”
