Nickelodeon Kids' Choice AwardsTaylor Swift is preparing to do battle with her rumored ex-boyfriend Harry Styles as she goes head-to-head with his band One Direction at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards.

Swift, who reportedly split from Styles in January, is nominated for three trophies at the upcoming ceremony, including Favorite Song for her break-up hit "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together." Ironically, the song puts her in direct competition with Styles, who is nominated in the same category with One Direction for their track "What Makes You Beautiful."
