It's getting serious! Harry Styles spends night at Taylor Swift's house before the couple head out grocery shopping with her mother

He treated her to a special birthday lunch at his favourite pub in England and now it's Taylor Swift's turn to show just how much she cares about Harry Styles.

The 23-year-old singer has introduced the One Direction heartthrob to her mother Andrea, proving their relationship is going from strength to strength.

The couple were seen leaving the Swift home on Wednesday and it seems that Taylor's mother approves of her daughter's new beau.

The trio popped out to do a spot of grocery shopping at Ralph's before returning to the country singer's home.

Harry had stayed over at Taylor's house the night before and the pair have become inseparable in recent weeks.

The former X Factor contestant was showing off his new ship tattoo and an interesting T-shirt for his shop visit with Taylor's mother.

Later in the day the One Direction singer was spotted solo in a black car as he ordered from the drive-through at the popular California fast food chain In-n-Out in Los Angeles.

And in the evening, Harry continued his Los Angeles jaunt, hanging out at a friend's home in Studio City with Taylor nowhere in sight.

Outside the home the singer stopped to chat and take photos with fans, who gathered on the private street by the dozens.

Taylor had proved to be every inch the doting girlfriend as she attended the Shamrock tattoo parlour with Harry on Tuesday.

Harry was seen beaming away as he posed for a photograph with his tattoo artist at Shamrock, which is also a favourite haunt of footballer David Beckham.

Taylor made sure she was close by to hold Harry's hand through the procedure, with the singer chatting to a female pal as her boyband beau went under the needle.

Taylor made sure she was close by to hold Harry's hand through the procedure, with the singer chatting to a female pal as her boyband beau went under the needle.

The I Knew You Were Trouble hitmaker appeared to have embraced her grungy new surroundings, taking part in a game of pool with her friend as Harry underwent his newest inking.

Looking stylish in a monochrome swallow-print dress and a slick of red lipstick, the country music star beamed as she posed alongside the One Direction hunk for a series of photos.

But it would seem she wasn't keen to alter her clean-cut image with a tattoo for herself.

Harry has been a big fan of body art for some time, most recently showing off a large pair of birds on his chest, which was etched at Shamrock last month.

On either forearm, the star has the unfinished phrases 'Things I can' and 'Thing's I can't', as well as a series of seemingly random images, including a small padlock - tattooed on by his singer pal Ed Sheeran - two zig zags, a skeleton of a fish and the figure 99p.

WHAT WAS THE INSPIRATION BEHIND HARRY'S NEW TATTOO?

He's had more than a successful year with his band One Direction, so it's no wonder Harry Styles wanted a new inking to mark his 2012 victory.

There has been speculation that Harry's large new tattoo on his right arm is of the HMS Victory, Lord Nelson's ship from the 1805 Battle of Trafalgar.

Tribute? There is also speculation that Harry could have chosen the new tattoo because it is the same as actor Reeve Carney's in his girlfriend Taylor Swift's new video

The inking, which Harry proudly showed off in a Twitter snap, featured similar flags and masts to images of Nelson's flagship.

However, other claims have suggested Harry could have chosen the inking as a tribute to his new girlfriend - as Taylor's co-star Reeve Carney from her I Knew You Were Trouble video also has a large ship tattoo on his right arm.
