Shortly after a dispute with Taylor Swift that was big enough to end their relationship, One Direction's Harry Styles partied with friends in a hot tub in the Virgin Islands, released photographs revealed. 

The couple got in a fight while on vacation together on Virgin Gorda, part of the British Virgin Islands, and after they decided to break up Swift cut the trip short and flew back home to Nashville. Styles, on the other hand, stayed on Virgin Goda and partied with Sir Richard Branson. He was photographed in the hot tub with other people on Necker Island, which is privately owned by Branson. 

The pictures, originally posted on Facebook perhaps by a partygoer, showed Styles all smiles in the tub with the blue ocean behind him. 

Since the split, both singers have been spotted separately and not even in the same state. Styles was seen having dinner in Don Peppes restaurant in Queens, N.Y., on Jan, 6, before flying home to London that same day, according to HollywoodLife.com. Swift was seen visiting her friend's house in Pacific Palisades, Calif., on Jan. 8, and has been leaning on good friend Selena Gomez to help her cope with the split. 

"Taylor and Selena are definitely planning some girl nights. Taylor said Harry Styles was a jerk, and said really mean things to her," a source revealed.

Swift and Styles were first linked in mid-November. Although both singers are nominated for a People's Choice award, a representative for One Direction confirmed that the U.K. band will not be present at the awards show.  

Swift is nominated for Favorite Female Artist, Favorite Country Artist and Favorite Song For "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together." One Direction is nominated for Favorite Breakout Artist, Favorite Album, Favorite Music Fan Following and Favorite Song for "What Makes You Beautiful."
