They only dated for a few months last year, before calling it quits in January. But Harry Styles has given his blessing to ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift to write songs about him and their time together.
Clearly not nervous following her previous releases such as Dear John - which was penned about her ill-fated and short-lived romance with much older John Mayer - the One Direction bandmember jokes, 'At least she's a great songwriter!'
In an interview with Us Weekly, on newsstands now, the teen heartthrob admits he understands the 23-year-old's writing process.
And he certainly doesn't hold any ill will towards her for using her personal life as inspiration for her successful music career.
'It would be hypocritical for me to say she couldn't do it, because everybody writes songs based on personal experience. I can't say I'd have dated someone less famous to avoid it.'
Nor would he ever avoid dating another celebrity simply in order to protect himself from the 'hassle'.
'You like people for who they are, so I couldn't say I want to date someone less famous because of the hassle. You like who you like,' he insists.
The 19-year-old lothario reveals he looks for a girl with a 'cute laugh and a good smile' that he can 'have fun with' when it comes to relationships.
'I like someone who's up for doing stuff in terms of, like, trying new things and going out new places. Not just someone who does nothing and wants to sit around,' he adds.
And while he is currently single, he has his head on straight when it comes to dating in the public eye since becoming such a hot commodity.
'Relationships are hard enough, so I think you have to completely ignore everything from outside,' he tells the magazine. 'When you're in the opening stages of a relationship as it is, you're still under the pressure of getting to know everything about a person. If you have a lot of people from outside telling you what your relationship is, that's weird.
'I think you sort of have to block it out and just have the relationship rather than think - we're having this relationship play out on magazine covers.'
Meanwhile, Taylor gave her ex a reminder of what exactly he's missing as she stepped out for dinner at The Farm in Beverly Hills on Thursday.
The leggy blonde looked a million bucks in a summery pink and green floral dress, which she teamed with nude wedge heels and a red handbag.
With her hair pulled over one shoulder and rocking her signature blunt fringe, the star accessoried with bright red lips and black Ray-Ban sunglasses.
The singer is currently in town as she tours with her album Red, which has received rave reviews from everyone who's been lucky enough to score tickets to the sold-out concerts.
