It was definitely sad when Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris split, but those closest to them had seen it coming.

That stems from the fact that the 26-year-old singer and 32-year-old DJ, whose real name is Adam Wiles, are simply "very different people," a source tells E! News exclusively.

This was apparently evident to those around the couple formerly known as #Talvin. As a source told E! News, "Friends were even surprised it lasted this long because of the lack of chemistry."

Another insider noted Taylor and Adam "were just not very compatible in different areas in their relationship" and ultimately "seemed like they were more friends than lovers."
