Los Angeles, Dec 15 (PTI) Former One Direction star Zayn Malik has revealed that his model girlfriend Gigi Hadid helped set up his collaboration with Taylor Swift.
Malik asked Taylor to sing on the track 'I Don't Want to Live Forever' from the upcoming "Fifty Shades Darker" film but he wasn't nervous about her agreeing to be part of the song because he knew she already liked it thanks to model Gigi.
"...she is friends with Gi, so she already reached out after hearing it because (producer) Jack (Antonoff) had just played her the song anyway and she went in the studio the next day to record it.
"She mentioned to me that she liked the song so I already kind of knew in the back of my head that she liked it, so I asked her if she wanted to be on it and she was cool with it."
Gigi, 21, is part of Taylor's famous 'girl squad' along with Karlie Kloss, Lorde, Ellie Goulding and Cara Delevingne among others.
Zayn, 23, says he is much happier as a solo artiste now than when he was part of One Direction with Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne and Harry Styles.
"I'm enjoying what I'm doing at the minute, but obviously when I was in the band, there were times were I felt like I needed that time out to recollect my thoughts and see exactly where everything was at, but right now I feel like I have the time to process things in my own space, it's cool and enjoyable.
