Here are some assorted photos of Taylor Swift from this weekend. She was in NYC for much of the weekend (getting pap’d solo), but she flew down to Texas for the ACMs last night, to pick up her Milestone Award. Her mother was the one who presented the award to her, and this came just a week after her mom was diagnosed with cancer. It was sad and emotional for Swifty – you can read more about it here. Swifty’s ACM gown was Reem Acra. It’s pretty.

Now, to lighten the mood a little bit, Bedhead sent me this hilarious story about Swifty’s latest boyfriend, Calvin Harris. Allegedly – and the original source for this is a terrible UK tabloid – Calvin Harris has some kind of cat dander allergy. THIS IS AMAZING.

Calvin Harris is allergic to Taylor Swift’s cats. The Scottish DJ has struck up a romance with the ‘Blank Space’ hitmaker but her insistence on letting her beloved furry felines Olivia Benson and Meredith Grey share her bed has caused him a problem.

A source said: ”When he stayed over at Taylor’s LA house last week, Calvin says he was up all night blowing his nose and complaining he couldn’t breathe. Apparently he’s allergic to the long fluffy hair on Taylor’s cats and they usually sleep in the bed so it’s everywhere.”

Taylor’s devotion to her kitties has caused some ”tension” as Calvin is now reluctant to visit her at home.

The source added to heat magazine: ”He left really early the next morning – I think it’s caused a bit of tension because now Calvin wants to meet up in hotel rooms or at his place in LA, but not at Taylor’s house.”

I grew up with cats and I was always pretty good with them, but it wasn’t until I went away to college that I realized I had just built up a cat dander tolerance. Nowadays, I can’t really be around long-haired cats (like my mom’s Maine Coon) because my eyes go red and puff up and I start itching and sneezing all over the place. I’m pretty good with short-haired cats though, so maybe my cat dander allergy isn’t SO bad. Both of Taylor’s kitties are short-haired Scottish folds, so Calvin must have a pretty serious cat dander allergy if Olivia and Meredith are making him sick. Poor Swifty! And poor Calvin. Meredith and Olivia are probably happy though. They don’t want to share their mom with some terrible Scotsman. Olivia and Meredith are the co-presidents of Swifty’s “I Hate Boys” Club.
