While Gaga described him as her "hero", Taylor called his girlfriend an inspiration earlier this year and insisted their relationship works because they believe in each other.
He previously said: "It's someone who's always in your corner, that believes in you and your work, and vice versa.
"You know, I love what she does and her work and music and charity. She inspires so many people including myself."
