Harry Styles and Taylor Swift will be kept apart by bosses of the BRIT Awards tonight (20.02.13).

One Direction lothario Harry and his band will have their own dressing room in one part of London’s The O2 venue, while his ex-girlfriend Taylor will be kept in a completely different section to avoid any awkward moments.

A source told the Metro newspaper: “No one wants anything awkward to happen. Taylor and Harry are definitely being kept well apart.

“Taylor is near Robbie Williams, Justin Timberlake, Mumford & Sons and [host] James Corden in one area.

“Harry is down a different corridor with an extra-large room for himself and the other 1D lads.”

Since Harry and Taylor split over New Year they have both been extra careful to avoid each other, deliberately arriving at different times to the NRJ Awards in France.

Tensions between them are thought to be running high after Taylor appeared to mock Harry’s British accent when she opened the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles earlier this month.

Harry, 19, will be performing his new Comic Relief single ‘One Way Or Another’ with One Direction – who are up for Best British Group – at the BRITs.

Harry Styles gave Taylor Swift a vintage bracelet as a new year’s present.

The One Direction hunk – who has been dating the ‘We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together’ singer for around two months – wanted to mark 2013 in style so presented the blonde beauty with the emerald bracelet, which he had picked out in a second-hand jewellery store near his home in Cheshire, North West England, over Christmas.

A source told The Sun newspaper: “Harry handpicked the present for Taylor while he was back home.

“He found it in a second-hand shop and she was impressed when he handed it to her.

“He gave it to her at the plush hotel they stayed in while they were celebrating New Year in New York. Harry is head over heels for Taylor and even admitted he loves her while they were in the Big Apple.”

The smitten couple saw in the new year with a kiss in front of thousands of fans in Times Square after Taylor had performed at Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve on Monday night (31.12.12)

The two pop stars stunned onlookers on as they shared a very public embrace after Taylor took to the stage to sing her hit song ‘I Knew You Were Trouble’ at the New Year’s Eve event which was hosted by Ryan Seacrest.
