Scottish DJ Calvin Harris is reportedly ready to propose to singer Taylor Swift this year.

Friends of the `I need your love` hitmaker claim that he is preparing to ask for Swift's hand in marriage after discussing it with his parents, reports dailystar.co.uk.

`Calvin has discussed the possibility of marrying Taylor with his parents. It is still early days but none of his team would be surprised if he went down on one knee this year. They are both very solid at the moment and happy. They have had a fantastic few weeks together over the Christmas period,` Harris's friends said.

The 31-year-old DJ and the 25-year-old singer are said to have been looking at bespoke rings, prompting rumours there is an engagement on the way.
