Stefanie Keenan/Getty Images; Mike Marsland/WireImageHarry Styles has every right to be feeling 22 today—it is, after all, his 22nd birthday!
The One Direction boy-bander tweeted about feeling his age on Monday—and he did it in the form of a Taylor Swift lyric.
That's right, Harry Edward Styles used perfect punctuation (but no attributing quotation marks, ahem) when he wrote out nine words from his ex-girlfriend's 2013 single, "22": "I don't know about you, but I'm feeling 22."
The Twitterverse, as you can imagine, flipped. But please keep in mind that Taylor, now 26, only dated the B-Day boy briefly back in late 2012. Years have passed, and T-Swift has been romantically linked to Calvin Harris since last March. Not to mention the fact that Harry has been spotted kind of frequently with Kendall Jenner over the past two weeks (although they've yet to comment on the nature of their relationship).
But because the Internet is, well, the Internet, Haylor pandemonium and paranoia was reignited in a mere moment.
There was the immediate shock...

But the most entertaining response to Harry's Taylor tweet were most definitely the Photoshopped "22' memes.
