Are Calvin Harris and Miley Cyrus Feuding? He Says…
Calvin Harris is putting a wrecking ball to feud rumors.
After he made eyebrow-raising comments about a scrapped collaboration with Miley Cyrus, the "We Found Love" producer clarified what he meant by the remarks, insisting that he had no bad blood with her.
In a video shared to TikTok Aug. 17, Calvin offered a sneak peek at a collaboration with an unknown female artist called "Ocean," writing in the caption, "I love it."
And while some fans were thrilled about his upcoming song's techno sound, others noted that the DJ had previously shared a glimpse at the unreleased track with Miley on vocals.
"What happened to the one with Miley?????" one user commented, while another wrote, "I love Miley's version more."
In response to the latter comment, Calvin joked, "Tell her," before replying to those questioning where the "We Can't Stop" singer's version was with messages like, "I do not know" and "My bad."

Following his cryptic reactions, fans began to wonder if there was drama behind Calvin's decision to re-record "Ocean" with another singer, with one user asking, "This was miley's team fault? because the og vibe was amazing."
But the "This Is What You Came For" artist quickly shut down the rumors, responding, "Nah it was my bad...crossed wires."
In fact, Calvin, 41, went on to clear the air about his relationship with the Grammy winner, insisting in a second comment, "I love Miley."
As for Miley, she has yet to speak publicly on why her collaboration with the producer may never see the light of day. However, she previously got candid about being selective about what fellow celebrities she keeps in her inner circle.
'I am not very active or a very active part of my community of other artists and entertainers and celebrities,' Miley admitted during a 2024 appearance on David Letterman's My Next Guest Needs No Introduction, adding of attending industry events, 'It just doesn't feel like my people when I'm in that room."
However, she noted that she will make exceptions. Case in point: She's maintained a friendship with Beyoncé, who she collaborated with on the 2024 Cowboy Carter track "II Most Wanted."
As she put it, 'I'm a part of my community in that way but, again, it's all quality, not quantity."

Ava Max Addresses Longtime Lady Gaga Comparisons in New Leaked Song Lyrics
The "Sweet But Psycho" singer's new album 'Don't Click Play' is due out on Friday, Aug. 22 NEED TO KNOW Ava Max addresses being compared to Lady Gaga in a leaked snippet from her new album The "Sweet But Psycho" singer name dropped one of the 14-time Grammy winner's earlier tracks, "Poker Face" Don't Click Play is available to stream on Friday, Aug. 22 Ava Max is addressing those Lady Gaga comparisons in her new album. In a snippet leaked online earlier this week of Max's new album's title track "Don't Click Play," Max, 31, appears to reference Gaga, 39, and how she has been compared to the 14-time Grammy winner. "She samples, singing Gaga imitations/Can't kings and queens look good with poker faces?" Max sings in the leaked clip, referring to her song "Kings and Queens" and Gaga's "Poker Face," respectively. "But I'm loving myself even if you hate it." Other tracks on Max's upcoming album include her already-released singles "Lovin Myself," "Lost Your Faith" and "Wet Hot American Summer. "How Can I Dance," "Take My Call," "Skin in the Game," and 'World's Smallest Violin" are also featured on the new record. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Max, whose real name is Amanda Ava Koci, spoke about online commentary in the past. Although it was "kind of mean," she found the Gaga comparisons complementary. "No matter how many haters there are out there, or people who want to bring you down — or people who think I'm a Lady Gaga comparison, which is huuuh-larious," she told NYLON in 2023. "Who doesn't love Gaga?! I can't help that I look like this. I was born the way I was born too! I can't help that I'm 5-foot-2 as well," she continued, also noting that comparisons to other pop stars didn't stop when she changed the color of her hair. "Like what do they want me to do, dye my hair black?! I did that, and then they started comparing me to Dua [Lipa]! You can't win." In May, Max spoke to PEOPLE about how she found inspiration for Don't Click Play — or, rather, where she didn't. "I become a hermit, to be honest, when I'm making music," she explained. "I try not to let too many things influence me because I want it to come from my heart, and I want it to come from the inside of my brain where it's just, 'Who am I at the end of the day?' I don't want to get too influenced." "The thing is, I'm going back to my roots on this album," she continued. "I feel like there's a lot of Kings & Queens feeling songs on the album. It's almost like going back to how I started and my love for pop music, really." The PEOPLE Puzzler crossword is here! How quickly can you solve it? Play now! Max said she let online comments get to her in the past two years, and "changed who I was for other people." "I took away the Max Cut essentially because people in the industry didn't like it," she said. Since the people she had been working with didn't like it, she removed it. "Then, I realized that it was 1% of the population that didn't like it, and I loved it. I was like, 'Wait. The masses love it, and it doesn't make any sense for me to get rid of something when I feel so strongly about it.' " The "Sweet But Psycho" singer also teased what fans can expect on her latest record. "There's definitely going to be remixes," Max said when asked about possible collaborations. "There's going to be some collaborations. Can't say much right now. I can't give you all the surprises." Max previously released Heaven & Hell and Diamonds & Dancefloors in 2020 and 2023, respectively. Don't Click Play will be available to stream on Friday, Aug. 22. Read the original article on People
