Calvin Harris

Born Adam Richard Wiles, former girlfriend Taylor Swift confused fans when she gave her bf a shoutout at the iHeart Radio Music Awards, calling him "Adam" while onstage. Harris adopted the stage name so he could appear more "racially ambiguous." "My first single was more of a soul track, and I thought Calvin Harris sounded a bit more racially ambiguous. I thought people might not know if I was black or not. After that, I was stuck with it."
