"All of the One Direction members have seen the video of Taylor [allegedly] talking negative about them and they laughed about it the entire time and thought that she should worry about important things besides talking s--- about them," a source told HollywoodLife.com.
"They think it's sad that they affect her attitude so much and she should grow up!" the source added.
Swift and Styles, 19, allegedly dated for approximately 65 days before he abruptly ended the relationship, leaving the pop star upset. The country music singer, who is renowned for penning heartbreak-inspired songs after various failed relationships, won the "Best Female Video" VMA for her song "I Knew You Were Trouble." Her acceptance speech left fans speculating whether the song was written about Styles.
"I also wanna thank the person who inspired ['I Knew You Were Trouble'], who knows exactly who he is, because now I got one of these!" Swift told the crowd.
Swift was previously asked whether it was difficult to perform "Trouble" during the Brit Awards which was held in February, particularly because Styles was so close to the stage. Her response appeared to confirm that she wrote the song about him.
"Well, it's not hard to access that emotion when the person the song is directed at is standing by the side of the stage watching," Swift told the magazine.
"You're balancing the analytical side of your brain, which is telling you where to go and how to go there, with the other side of your brain, which is saying, 'Feel everything you're singing, and show it on your face. Feel everything exactly as you felt it when you wrote the song,'" she explained.
Styles, who was accused of cheating on Swift during their brief relationship, recently revealed that he has no issue with Swift writing heartbreak songs about him.
"It would be hypocritical for me to say she couldn't do it because everybody writes songs based on personal experience," Styles said in a recent issue of Us Weekly magazine. "At least she's a great songwriter!"
