Taylor Swift introduces Harry Styles to her mother

Taylor Swift has introduced boyfriend Harry Styles to her mother.

The 23-year-old singer has given a clear indication the couple's relationship is getting serious by taking the One Direction singer to meet her mum Andrea on Wednesday after he stayed over at her Hollywood home on Tuesday night.

The pair – who have only recently started dating – were spotted leaving the I Knew You Were Trouble hitmaker's abode on Wednesday with Andrea, and the trio popped out to do some shopping at Southern Californian grocery chain Ralphs before returning to the blonde beauty's abode, website MailOnline reports.

Earlier this week, Harry and Taylor visited the Shamrock Tattoo Parlour in Los Angeles – a favourite haunt of soccer star David Beckham – where the 18-year-old heartthrob got an inking of an impressive boat.

Taylor watched on as Harry got his latest tattoo, and she chatted to a female friend and enjoyed a game of pool to pass the time.

The One Direction star has a number of inkings including one of a small padlock, which was tattooed on by his and Taylor's good friend Ed Sheeran.

Ed also recently got a new tattoo of Taylor's latest album title Red, on which he duets with the blonde star on the track Everything Has Changed.
