Taylor Swift’s name has now been officially added to the credits on Calvin Harris and Rihanna’s track This Is What You Came For.

The pop superstar, who recently revealed that she had penned the lyrics to the song under a pseudonym, has had her name added to the BMI online database.

Just days after Harris hit out at the singer for trying to take credit for the song, the fake name Nils Sjoberg has been altered to read Taylor Swift.

After Swift’s reps confirmed that she had written the lyrics for the hit song last week, Harris wrote on Twitter:

“And she sings on a little bit of it too. Amazing lyric writer and she smashed it as usual.

“I wrote the music, produced the song, arranged it and cut the vocals though. And initially she wanted it kept secret, hence the pseudonym.

“Hurtful to me at this point that her and her team would go so far out of their way to try and make ME look bad at this stage though.”

The Scottish DJ, who split from Swift last month, went on to reference the singer’s new relationship with actor Tom Hiddleston.

“I figure if you're happy in your new relationship you should focus on that instead of trying to tear your ex bf down for something to do,” he wrote.

“I know you're off tour and you need someone new to try and bury like Katy ETC but I'm not that guy, sorry. I won't allow it.”
