Calvin Harris was prepared to receive the Future Icon Award when he was attending Caesars Palace's 50th Anniversary Gala in Las Vegas over the weekend. But, he wasn't prepared at all to respond to host Howie Mandel's joke about Taylor Swift.
Harris, who has a residency at the hotel's Omnia Nightclub, took the stage in a white shirt underneath a blue suit and matching pants to accept his trophy. Mandel then jokingly commented on the Scottish DJ's look, "That's a nice suit. Who's your tailor?"
The crowd erupted into laughter as Harris smiled and said to the host, "I already dealt with that. You had that one ready." The 32-year-old producer didn't let the conversation about his ex-girlfriend continue and delivered his speech instead. "It's an honor to be here," he told the audience. "I don't do this thing that often. I don't receive these kind of awards very often either. It's a great honor to be here."
Harris and Swift appeared to have an amicable breakup earlier this summer, but they've been feuding since she began dating her current boyfriend Tom Hiddleston and revealed that she was among people behind the DJ's latest hit, the Rihanna-assisted "This Is What You Came for".
In the past few weeks, Harris has been rumored to be hooking up with Tinashe, who recently responded to the dating reports as saying, "I'm still definitely single, so that's all that we're at right now."
