"Those around her would have thought she'd do anything to avoid looking like she could be moving in on Harry again."
Taylor and Harry enjoyed a 65-day romance last year before they called it a day after a row during their holiday in the Caribbean.
Since then, they have kept their distance, but Taylor hit headlines at the MTV VMA awards in August when she made a backhanded comment about Harry while picking up her video award for I Knew You Were Trouble.
Collecting the prize, Taylor said: "I also want to thank the person who inspired this song, who knows exactly who he is, because now I got one of these!"
But in an interview on The Jonathan Ross Show to be aired next week, Harry insisted that he is 'still friends' with Taylor.
When Jonathan asked him about how he prevents feuds between his exes, following both Taylor and Cara taking part in the recent Victoria's Secret lingerie show, Harry said he does his best to stay pals with his former girlfriends.
Kind-hearted Harry and the rest of his One Direction band mates have just launched a special celebrity telethon via Twitter while a host of other stars will answer calls from people donating to the Disasters Emergency Committee's (DEC) emergency fund.
The charity has so far raised £35 million for the humanitarian effort in the Philippines.
