Taylor Swift ''ticks boxes'' Calvin Harris never knew existed.

The 'Bad Blood' singer has been romancing the Scottish DJ for the last few months and the 'Acceptable in the 80s' hitmaker is totally smitten with the 25-year-old beauty.

He said: ''It's not even a case of ticking all the boxes, there's boxes that I didn't even know existed she ticks. It's really ridiculous but yeah she does an incredible barbeque and she's generally an incredible cook and human being''

While Calvin is a big fan of his girlfriend's cooking, he is also happy to take on his share of culinary duties.

He told Manchester radio station Key 103: ''It's a mixture, we both cook, I love to cook too. Ever since I started doing the healthy food thing in LA I really like to cook.''

However, the 31-year-old star admitted his meals are often ''really boring'' because of his healthy diet.

He added: ''I eat a lot of chicken. It's really boring though, the food, like what I eat is really boring. It's like protein, vegetables, carbohydrate, I don't ever really call them their real names anymore, it's so bland you know. You call it chicken, I call it protein.''

Despite both Taylor and Calvin having hectic work schedules, the 'Summer' hitmaker insists it is ''not hard'' to spend time together.

He said: ''She's on her world tour and I'm based in LA but the luxury is that we can both travel very easily and that's one of the reasons why it works so so well. It's really not hard to see each other on a regular basis.''
