I hope I’m not overselling this, but HUZZAH, finally some paparazzi wandered down to Nashville to get some photos of Tom Hiddleston and Taylor Swift. I’ve actually been waiting for this for a week and a half! While the original Tiddles photo-op in Rhode Island was super-obvious, it was also pretty obviously exclusive to one paparazzo, in that Taylor totally staged the photos. But her usual M.O. with her boyfriend-rollouts is to go somewhere public, populated and pap-friendly with her new boyfriend so that everyone can get shots. And that’s what we have now!
After Tiddles spent Tuesday night at a Selena Gomez concert and spent Wednesday night having an “intimate dinner” at a steakhouse, what was on deck for Thursday? A whole day spent with Taylor’s family, it seems. Tom and Taylor were photographed out and about in Nashville with her parents and some other people, maybe Taylor’s brother? They visited the Country Music Hall Of Fame, then went to lunch and did some shopping. Then Taylor took Tom for dinner at Adele’s restaurant with some of her girlfriends. The photos are pretty amazing, right? They certainly seem… something. Well-connected, maybe? Especially since they’ve only been together for a few weeks?
Also, there’s been a lot of commenting on Taylor’s bust in all of these photo-ops. Swifty had a boob job several years back, and some have been wondering if she treated herself to a size upgrade, perhaps after her split with Calvin Harris. While I do think she’s looking “fuller,” I don’t think the timeline makes sense as far as post-surgical healing. So did she get a bolt-on upgrade or is she just wearing hugely padded bras? And there’s one theory I’ve always had about Tom: he’s a boob man. Many of his exes are quite busty. Hm…

The speed they’re going they’ll be married with 3 kids by December.
Or burnt out by next week.
Have to say, I enjoy her smug, sly fox face.
Ha! That’s seriously my Biggest pet peeve with her! She always looks like cat who got the canary with her side look and smirky smile.
Good luck to her when he disappears off Down Under on set with a pretty new co-star, crew and women to distract him on the GC.
She can’t keep him on a leash.
Little Darling, that’s probably what I like best about her 😀
Sad as it is, I’m hoping they crash and burn. I liked it better when he *wasn’t* all over the place in a tabloid kinda way. Now I’m hoping he gets knocked down a few pegs :/
They are wearing the same shoes, a real sign of true love.
They even have the same walk/stride, interesting
They look so much like brother and sister it’s creepy.
I guess it’s true what they say, you look for someone resembling yourself in a partner.
They look nothing alike
LMAO, I was just noticing that while looking at the pics, their outfits match and the shoes look almost the same, wow.
I was thinking the exact same thing! As mushy and disgustingly romantic Tom is I’m betting within 3 months he’ll be putting the notice in the Times paper. Then he will forever be known as Mr. Swift (watch him change his name to Swift-Hiddleston like Aaron Taylor-Johnson because they are one with each other) and his career will be in the toilet. Good luck Mr. Swift and Godspeed!
I find the ‘player’-thing easier to buy. The ‘mushy’ and ‘disgustingly romantic’ gentleman also said he was a serious artist who didn’t care for fame, remember?
Big Joke
I just choked on my water. This made me laugh so hard. Thanks. I needed it.
She seems to rush into relationships. He’ll soon tire of all the paps all the time.
Really? Not just her it seems. TnT were photographed in Essex with HIS mother, Diana. They are both moving fast.
Suffolk 🙂
Lol calvin Harris is soo Pissed right now….but seriously do you think taylor control the media.
Is it even a question?
Of course she controls everything PR related.
She also picks up the bills. Must cost a pretty shilling to keep up your own plane and fly it to London.
I just saw three different magazines, call this new romance, “Taylor’s New revenge romance” to get back at Calvin, calling it Taylor’s getting even PR stunt. So is this nothing more than a Rom com movie audition for Tom? Shesh, ,what bunch of sh#$t. Kinda feel sorry for Tom, NOT!!! this is turning fun fun
I doubt Calvin meant it like she control controls media. Does she have a close working relationship with gossip rags, magazines & paps? Definitely. Can she control her image and play her games she always does with flavor of the moment through does channels? Well obviously.
And why jump to the conclusion that Calvin is pissed? Can he just not be glad to be rid of her? I know I would be glad not to participate in the circus anymore.
Lol I’m so happy CH called her ass out for real. Those comments were delicious. Of COURSE Taylor controls the media narrative around this. I knew this would be messy because unlike her other exes he doesn’t seem to be taking this lying down and the fact that no one is buying this anyways. lol *grabs more popcorn*
may I have some? 🙂
Where can I find this? I want to see.
I saw it on tumblr. There are screenshots floating around about how Tom and Taylor probs cheated and that she controls the media. And that he isnt mad he is FREE. I laughed because nothing is better than putting fairytale princess in her place…even if I don’t like CH
and yes popcorn for all *brings out the big bag*
If he wasn’t mad, he wouldn’t be saying anything at all.
Not everyone operates that way. Sometimes you just want people that think they have some kind of higher ground put in their place. Doesn’t mean you’re mad. Could mean he’s over her BS.
In one of the tweets he said he figured she would’ve matured in the last 10 years. ha
Nah…he’s pissed.
Of course she controls the media…why is that a bad thing? Her image is extremely important. I don’t think anyone should knock her down for that. If anything she should be teaching a tutorial. She pulled one over on him and I love it. In my eyes her taste in men has improved. She’s young, successful and wealthy…fill up all those blank spaces, be safe and have a great time. I watched a few of Calvin’s snapchats and all i thought is what did she see in him. He is so f-cking annoying.
Calvin Harris wants to put Taylor Swift in her place? The guy with 4 names thinks he’s more mature and better? The same guy who blocked Rita Ora from using the songs they worked on together for her album is saying he figured Taylor would have matured? Like him? The guy with 4 names? Now that is something to laugh at, lol.
Calvin Harris is a joke. He’s more of a joke than Taylor Swift and he is the last person to be calling out Taylor on her bs when he’s the king of bull himself. He doesn’t like the fact he got burned.. it’s a simple as that.
@andrea…I agree!
I think they look great together. At the end of the day, they’re just people that just happen to be in the limelight. I do hope they get married… why shouldn’t they… I don’t see one being better than the other.
Congrats to both… I do hope they find happiness together!
Sometimes people just click and move fast. I know it usually seems like a bad idea, but my parents knew each other for a month before getting engaged, and have been married more than 30 years. So it’s a thing that happens occasionally. I get that they’re probably anxious to spend time together before he goes to Australia, but good lord, that’s a lot of togetherness. A lot. And they’re both chatty people. Must be tiring.
Her “candid” photos look like photoshoots. I don’t mean staged, but god, look how good she looks in that plaid dress!
If they want us to believe this, they NEED to stop looking directly at the cameras. And sitting in front of windows? Seriously, what is that about? I WANT TO BELIEVE, TIDDLES.
Oh, I know that, it’s just him saying she controls the media when all I have seen is quiet the opposite.
You think she doesn’t?Mind if I ask why? There are years of evidence for saying she does.
Lol have you SEEN Taylor’s career? She’s all about media control over her image. Its probably why no one sticks around her for long
She lost control over her PR narrative once in her ten year career–the year after she was jumping between Connor Kennedy and Harry Styles. For about six months after that she couldn’t easily control the narrative but then her PR worked their mojo and managed to turn her loss of control into her being the worst victim ever! of the big ole mean press and public and how there’s a special place in hell for Tina and Amy for making a joke at the GGs. Roar feminism! Her publicist should teach a master class in PR spin and image control.
I can’t believe there are people who don’t get that this 100% PR. Do you think there are real paps in Nashville?? because…no. There aren’t.
Exactly. I live in Nashville. The area of midtown where she lives and has been the last few nights does NOT have paps. I
I’m curious, why is that? Seeing as a lot of celebs live there and all
@ann They are probably not the type of celebs tabloids or gossip sites are interested in ,so paparazzi don’t usually profit from being in Nashville.There is no point in taking pictures if no site wants to buy them.
I don’t know, we just don’t. People like it that we don’t.
Her control issues + his thirst = a swamp of angsty emotions, filled with career ambition and rolled in awkward dance moves.
how will she react when she is to old to attract the tween audience and her fans disappear and she no longer sells gossip mags and no longer generates *klicks* online? She seems to have severe attention issues. If her music is as popular as some claim there is no reason for her to live her private life in the spotlight, is there? Her fans would still be there even if she stayed off the radar.
This is what I was thinking, what is her constant need for attention, was she emotionally deprived as a child or something?
She is so very desperate for attention. What I find more interesting is that she constantly is looking for “the one” and it has been everywhere from guys way too young for her to thirsty guys like Hiddleston. The constant in her romantic endeavors is that each guy is “the one” and she can’t seem to take a breath to figure out if doing this again and again is the way to live your life. This isn’t about shaming. This is about being self aware and comprehending what is working and what isn’t in your actions and life. For such an attention seeker she sure isn’t self aware.
She is the Madonna of her generation. Tightly controlled and managed image.
CTgirl
I guess it’s related. She needs validation from the public, and she needs validation from a man, any man will do. Seems like her entire self worth is based on what others think of her.
Lilacflowers: I almost always agree with your comments, but not on this one. Madonna owned it. Even if her message didn’t need to be heard, she screamed it out at the top of her lungs. Taylor is more cat and mouse. She lets her people or her ridiculous cryptic tweets do her talking. Looks like she put color over her dead bleached hair….must have been Calvin’s preference. Trying to think of this generation’s “Madonna.” Best I can think of at the moment are Rihanna and maybe Pink….rock stars who really don’t give two f’s what we think.
NO ONE is this generation (or any generation) Madonna. NO ONE.
IMHO Madonna is over-rated. If I hear one more person waffle on about how she continually reinvents herself I’ll scream. She has a genius for self publicity. Songwriting and singing, not so much. But hey, wear a leather leotard and publish a book of nudie pics and maybe no one will notice.
Excellent summary. I agree.
It’s one thing to be a serial monogamist. It’s another thing to be THAT serial monogamist. The one that introduces a person to their family and friends ASAP. You can’t even get invested in some of them because they’ll be gone soon enough.
wow they move fast. i wouldn’t be introducing a new boyfriend to my parents only a few weeks in, let alone have them spend the day together.
I normally waited a few years before introducing.
But I do know a girl who brings everyone home (all of them are “finally it”), and she dates a new guy every six months or so. I guess people are different. Parents too.
Speaking as a relative of a person like this, it’s exhausting. I’d barely catch my breath after the exit of the last unsuitable GF/wife when I’m expected to be as excited over the new one as he is. Thank all of the everything that he finally actually found *the one*. 😜
It’s not like they are ever going to see him again.
Swifty is reminding me more and more
of a bee, flying from flower to flower,
always in search of the one with most
nectar. And then of course there’s always
the sting. . .
A) she definitely got another boob job. It was around the time she died her hair platinum (as distraction maybe). I’m not body shaming her. I want a boob job too (but to reduce my size). But I think she definitely got a boob job.
B) Calvin Harris was posting on Insta that she dumped him. I saw the screenshots. Apparently she controlled the narrative so this wouldn’t look like she cheated? I don’t know if I buy it. She has the ability and I wouldn’t be surprised. But I don’t know.
No they would be very high on her chest if that were the case.
A surgeon was asked for his opinion, and his guess is ‘teardrop’ shaped implants. New ones.
I think when you’re wealthy, there is a way to get most anything done under the radar, quickly.
Calvin originally said HE dumped HER… that he stopped caring/she wanted marriage and babies. Then he backtracked verrry quickly after she showed up with Tiddles. (OMG I have to buy brain bleach… WHY DO I KNOW THIS CRAP??? lol)
It’s funny how politics can sour your mood.
All I can see now is an annoying smirk from LEGS at ALL THE ATTENTION.
Sorry LEGS: you can fluck the fluck off until I’m in a better mood and laughter has returned to my life.
Sorry to all!
Hugs, tea, soup, more hugs, lemon drizzle, strawberries, a comfy pillow, another hug
Thank you.
Same here. I am also having a sudden intense dislike for Eton boys prancing around like the world is their stage, blame the main players in the tragedy that is Brexit.
That is pretty much my take. Suddenly that smug, self-satisfied smirk is just too much to take today. I can’t even be funny about it.
F8ck you, privileged Eton Boy, F8ck you and the polo pony you came in on.
Unsurprisingly enough, me too.
He definitely came off as part of the Remain camp. I’m not hating. Sucks what happened to Britain though. It’s all over my social media, the jokes, the repercussions, the drama. Brexit is even drowning out US politics at the moment.
@Sixer: Sorry about Brexit. We feel your pain. At least the US isn’t the only country looking totally foolish right now.
@sixer
Cheer up, Sixer, don’t worry. It will all be
sorted in due time.
Can’t change anything anyway, so it’s
not worth it.
You have my deepest sympathies, Sixer. I was watching this on Twitter last night and absolutely floored when the Brexit win was announced. The fears that inspired the Brexit vote could inspire those on the fence to vote for Trump in November. A lose-lose scenario for the world.
I too find it hard to give a mocking sh!t about TIDDLES today.
-Noix Balles
I can scurry up a smile for the Balls – 🙂
@Mr. Balls – this really doesn’t bode well at all for our own election in the fall does it?
All I can see is that she has little, piggy, untrustworthy eyes – Brexit paranoia and depression is setting in.
Big hug from France !!!
Heard the news on the radio and was wondering how you were taking it. Hugs darling Sixer.
Tea, sympathy, and hugs to all.
My sympathies, Sixer. I’m so sorry that the fallout of this is going to be so hard on even the people who wanted to stay in 🙁
Yes, Brexit is sad. We all dream of faceless big government ruling our lives and bananas and it’s so sad that the dream has been ruined.
Those self adhesive silicone bras that you hook tend to look like that.
I mean I have several minds on this in no order of thought, just what God has put in my High head ATM

I love all of this!
It’s not just Taylor moving fast, it’s just her having to let us alllll know she’s moving fast. The thirst has become too real. It’s almost like her last relationship was so low key, she felt deprived and came back ten-fold.
It’s both funny and cringe-worthy to watch this longest-first-date-ever* play out.
* I’m imagining a pre-breakup song to the tune of the oldie song ‘I’ve Been Everywhere Man’, with that fast paced list of cities/places visited.
Swifty looks so much like her mom
Are they moving fast bc there’s a contract wedding coming up or bc ppl are questioning her sexuality now?
He’s a hunchback…so not attractive. Still dont know who he is and still ok with it.
At the rate Taylor and Tom are going, they will overthrow George and Amal who currently reign for “Overexposure of a New Relationship”
Actually come to think of it George and Amal , did the same thing and got married fairly quickly….
I think they look smitten and both know how to play this. Have fun.
I think so, too. They are two crazy famous people, they like to be in the news, they (Taylor) like to be in control and to manipulate the media AND they are sparkly dorks, they like 80s music, they are teenagers inside and it’s a genuine relationship. The things are not mutually exclusive.
@Misa yes to all that. They can be all the things we’ve been discussing all at once. Not necessarily a “right” answer, it’s probably a mixture of everything we think of them.
I couldn’t agree more. They simply make sense together.
Spot on
I think they are probably both truly smitten with each other and by all accounts they are both full on people, that’s why it’s moving so fast. If it continues to feel that good I think we may just see them marry, it’s a fairy-tale and I think they are both into that, the timing seems spot on for both of them. This is probably the real Tom ‘in love’, we have just never had such a close up view of it before. Being with Taylor means he has to do this in public like it or not, so I think he must be serious. The thing is I think they don’t live in the same world that most of us do, her world is certainly different to what his appears to have been and maybe he is just loving this adventure, it’s another form of his diving of a cliff analogy, living his life. Maybe they will slow down, if you are in it for the long haul there is plenty of future to come. We will possibly know it’s a runaway train if she flies back to the UK with him as he must ultimately do before he goes off for Thor 3. If she does not it will seem like he is completely up for changing himself to fit into her world, it seems a wonderfully magical kingdom to live in so that is more than possible. Reality may never actually bite.
I wonder if his role in T3 is not as big as he had hoped and also if Loki is about to exit, it’s odd he has nothing lined up after it, does he see the downtime as the perfect opportunity to spend some time working on his private life? He normally works so hard on his movies but he already has a degree in Lokiness so his mind is not focused on it. Is he possibly contracted for Infinity? Star power would help him in some way there and will help Kong sell so I really do not see this damaging his career. These movies are his upcoming projects now and if they do well he will be just fine.
@theunderstudy: rumour has it they landed in London early this morning.
He finally will get to change his shoes before he gets popped again then. I wonder how may bedrooms in his house?Can he fit Taylor and her body guards in there? Will they all trail over to the cafe holding hands in a chain. Will they check for JArthy before they go?
This is like a pantomime of a real relationship. Corny, exaggerated and made to laugh at. I think TS is back to her old ways. That is, if she ever really for away from them. She seems totally incapable of having a real, private relationship on equal footing.
The hand holding is killing me. Do they ever stop holding hands? Do they go to the bathroom together still holding hands? Each trying to get their pants down with a hand from each person?
But how else would you know that they’re *sooooooo* in love?
They don’t go to the bathroom, only to take bubble baths. They’re Barbie and Ken.
Yeah, I knew lots of couples in high school that were less barf-tastic than these two.
Cumby and his wife do the same. Maybe it is a British thing.
It’s too hot here in Nashville for the constant hand holding! 90 degrees at 9pm still…no.
They’re too old to be carrying on like that in a restaurant. But they’re both super sentimental and lovey-dovey dorks. So twee.
I’m 45, still hold hands with my boyfriend and yes I often do it at dinner… so it’s very possible it’s real.
He still thinks he’s Hank Williams.
#Tiddlebrained
She needs to take him to Printers Alley and let the audience provide some feedback on that.
Whoever produced the Hank movie would have surely LOVED this amount of publicity two or three months ago. Oh, but the DVD comes out in two weeks.
And yet, nobody will still care. This isn’t increasing his ability to get cast or sell anything. Showings of his movies (except Marvel) will still have tumbleweeds blowing through. Once his hair recedes another centimeter she’ll throw him to the dogs, and so will Hollywood.
so who will be the first down the aisle? Gwennie & Blakie Poo or Tay Tay and Mr. Thirst? Double wedding!!!
Okay they’re going to spin this one of two ways:
1. Tom is going to jet the hell out of there, and they’re reps are going to be saying either “it was a fun fling” or that they were “just really, really close friends”
2. Or. OR. This is going to be the Swifts fairytale romanceeee. And for the rest of forever these two praying mantis’s are going to be awkward noodle dancing and staging photos into forever.
I’d put money on them getting hitched. Seriously. She’s found a guy who will fawn over her, doesn’t mind the spotlight, has a squeaky clean image, and will not doubt provide plenty of songwriting material via excessive corniness. And on the less cynical side, they’re both dorky and Very Serious about their work. They’re a perfect match. She won’t find another one who will put up with her lifestyle like Tom would.
I agree.
I’ll take that action. They face the challenge of him being far away working, not playing, for the next 2-3 months. She could join him for the wrap party.
Yep, they’ll marry as soon as a pre-nup can be contracted.
Wimbledon starts on Monday. I’m wondering whether he’ll bother to come back for that, or they’ll both turn up….
Apparently, her plane brought them into Heathrow this morning. Wonder if it will take him to Australia, too?
He’s working so Marvel pays his way.
He’s in deep. The blonde woman with whom they had the double date in the window has been ID’d as Holly Williams, Hank Williams’ granddaughter and a musician in her own right. I assume she’s Taylor’s friend first, but maybe it’s also a mutual friend thing since Tom is a professional Hank Williams impersonator? She had nice things to say about Tom’s performance in I Saw the Light: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/holly-williams-weighs-in-on-hank-williams-biopic-i-saw-the-light-20150928
I fangirl Holly Williams more than I ever will Taylor Swift. She’s the real deal when it comes to musical talent, and she seems to have overcome all of the various demons that have shadowed her family since the original Hank.
Tom’s performance as Hank was incredible – the movie that contained it, not so much. Still, it’s worth a viewing now that comes out on VOD and DVD in a few weeks.
Taylor looks satisfied and very smug.
At least Tom is affectionate, and doesn’t look bored with Tay like Calvin did.
Calvin often looked pissed off, and wanted to flee the oversized Polly Pocket circus.
I wonder how long Eton boy Tom will be able to tolerate Tay’s immature (mean) girl squad nonsense. The endless GS crap is more fake than this sudden romance.
Two smug faces too many on the day of Brexit. Shame on you, you pussywhiped fool!
I will show myself out.
I’ll come with you if that’s ok…
I’m American and the best I can say is that he looks really tasteless. It’s going to be really awkward if he ever gets asked where he was when Brexit happened. It’s his own darned fault too, so stay and vent.
He tweeted about Brexit urging people to vote. I’m sure he casted his vote while away. There are several options of doing so.
He’s entirely clueless. I hope when he comes home his family and friends stage an intervention.
“…This is the basest sentimentality. This is a child at prayer… PATHETIC!”
Sorry. I couldn’t resist. 😉
Agreed!!! I would pay to see that too.
I would pay good money to witness the first conversation he has with Chris Hemsworth on set in Australia.
You mean the same Chris Hemsworth whose brother is engaged to Miley Cyrus? The same Chris Hemsworth whose wife is probably salivating at the chance to be in the same Instagram photo as Taylor? My guess is he’ll high-five Tom and hand him a beer.
He’s taking a page out of Liam’s playbook!
The Hemsworth clan has no room to make fun of Tom for this, lol. At least Tom’s girlfriend doesn’t lick everything in sight.
Ruffalo can get away with ribbing him, especially taking private jets everywhere.
Presumably he should let her take the jet while he goes Ryanair?
Whoever did her hair this last time needs to stop and back away.
I love Jada Yuan of NY Mag so much. Everything she does brings me joy. Her latest is a listicle about Hiddleston and it’s glorious. She refers to him as Taylor’s “makeout buddy.” She says he’s as charming as advertised, but doesn’t miss an opportunity to point out that he can be tedious and boring as f*ck (#24).
http://www.vulture.com/2016/06/tom-hiddleston-profile-extras-hang-out.html?mid=twitter_vulture
He’s like a knockoff Louboutin: pretty and shiny on the outside but no substance or support on the inside.
Weird. I have opposite view. Not much to look at but internally, he has character, morals, intellect, hidden or at least not often seen or known talents, plus no problem having fun and is genuinely interested in people and life and the world.
That’s a freaking great catch by my standards. Nearly extinct these days it seems.
He comes off as so damn charming and likable in that article. Ugh. I don’t know what to do with him. He’s so confusing. One minute I think he’s a truly awesome dude and the next minute I think he’s the most annoying person I’ve ever seen.
Welcome to Team Hiddleston – equal measures of giddy admiration, snarky eye-rolling, out-of-text Shakespeare reciting, and frustrated sexual desire… oh, and we usually have snacks and alcohol.
lol
It cracks me up that this perfectly nice but quite average guy has the ability to cause such extreme mood swings in me on a regular basis. He’s not a rockstar, he’s a pasty British guy who talks too much and dances like a dweeb…See, I’m trying to make fun of him but I mock him so lovingly. I can’t help it. I acknowledge how absurdly try-hard and needy he can be but I can’t help but like him anyway.
*tags swig from wine bottle* Thank you for the warm welcome. I think it sounds like we’re of the same mind when it comes to this guy, Dara. 🙂
To me, it just looks like she gained a tiny bit of weight–that could account for her boobs looking larger.
Seriously, how long can this farce last?
so many snarky b***hes here
bwahaha, you must be new
Tom quote: “Falling in love … is as surprising and shocking and chaotic and beautiful as it’s always been. The heart is uncontrollable. You can’t legislate for who you fall in love with. It just happens. When you fall in love with somebody, you can’t explain why you do it, you just do.”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLny_HymGII
It just happens and it might not make sense and you can’t explain it, guys. It’s okay for everyone to be confused by this. Tom already issued the warning.
the article was good!
So she is back to Nashville and country music now. Ummmm…no. She is the Sugar Mama throwing money at her latest comment conquest. Men have been doing since the beginning of erections.
According to another forum, they are now in the UK heading to Mommy Hiddleston’s house in Aldeburgh. There are at least two twitter sightings at a petrol station.
THAT is what I’m here for. I’m cackling at the thought of his posh English mom meeting Taylor Swift. It’s such a hilarious image. He must be getting so much ribbing from his family about this.
And my theory is intact. Have a very public “date”, make sure you are photographed, and then get the heck out of town. If the paps and fans are looking for them in one place, they’ll have a head start before the photogs catch up to them.
His mom is posh, but she has also worked in and around the art world for decades, I’m sure she’ll manage just fine – with impeccable manners and a stiff upper lip. It’s introducing Tay-Tay to his father (a self-made PhD from humble working-class Scottish stock) that I’d like to see.
Oh, I’m sure his parents are already in love with her money.
They will get married soon. I’m sure he’s already signed the contract. He gets 1 million dollars per month plus 5 million dollars per each child (if he manages to impregnate her), a platinum credit card for daily expenses, an SUV and a Jag and lots of new clothes.
@Dara True. We know it took his dad a long time to buy into acting being an actual job (he may still not be on board for all we know), so bringing a pop star home is an interesting move. That’s one of the primary reasons why I have no trouble believing they’re legit—I kind of doubt she’s the type of person his family imagined him being with. She’s a lovely, successful girl from a nice family, but she’s from a different realm than he is on so many levels.
I should expect no matter what realm she is from she can turn on the charm, isn’t she America’s sweetheart? Tom will no doubt be uber enthusiastic about her and most families are more than happy to welcome their family member’s significant other unless/until they think that person is ultimately not good for them.
Incredibly sheltered is how I think of Taylor. I think she’s very career savvy and works incredibly hard when recording and on tour, but I don’t think she’s ever had to fend for herself as an adult out in the world, or met many people that are very different from herself. Does she even have a driver’s license?
She has a pretty ‘classy’ reputation as popstars go, though, and didn’t exactly grow up in poverty herself
I think she comes from a banking family – her dad is a banker and I think I read his family was as well. She’ll do just fine at business dinner parties. The academia might be new to her, but she’s an incredibly quick study. She seems to know so many songs and artists and the culture of music at different times, and that kind of memory and that ability to study should help her out. She has given a couple of insightful interviews where she discusses the business and music culture, so she’s got brains. My biggest complaint about Taylor is that she has always downplayed how savvy she is and resorts to the tabloid/image game. But she probably has a better sense of these things, as evidenced by her success than I do, so I’ll just watch.
I love the fact that she is the only person that has ever had genuine paparazzi photos out in Nashville! Seriously, you never see paparazzi around when you see famous people here, ever. Only fan pics pop up. She definitely has her own personal choice on speed dial. What a joke.
She’s one of the most famous women in the world, and photos of her with her new boyfriend sell for high prices. They’ll travel to her.
NGL his face in the pic where he opens the door for her is cute. They seem genuinely into each other but this is some next level flaunting, and it’s in super poor taste from Taylor if she dumped Calvin as she must have done. Why is she rubbing it in his face?
Oh and here is some dirt, apparently her plane was in PA while Tom was in Philadelphia for that Wizard Con Marvel convention thingy. Her fans thought she was visiting a friend but seems more likely she was visiting Tom.
So, she travels all the time by private jet. Next time Tom makes a “save the planet campaign” someone should confront him with that.
The Philly airport was probably the closest place her jet could land at so she could perform at that fan’s wedding – it was the same weekend. http://www.phillyvoice.com/taylor-swift-gives-surprise-show-at-fans-wedding-r/ It’s not outside the realm of possibility that she also swung by Philly and said hi to Tom, but she left alone – a fan saw Tom and Stanley Tucci on her commercial flight to London from Philly on Sunday night.
Oh, okay, that makes sense. I didn’t realize Philly was where she’d have to land to get to that wedding she crashed. Funny coincidence Tom was there too.
This isn’t really new behavior for her. IIRC she did something similar to Connor Kennedy when she went public with Harry Styles. There was apparently overlap between Connor/Harry before she settled on Harry. Seems like the same thing happened with Calvin/Taylor/Tom. Her PR rollout with Tom is eerily similar to her rollout with Harry Styles, right down to the big Swift family day of bonding 2 weeks after the pr rollout and then followed by a trip back to his home to meet his mom and the rest of his family. Wonder if a trip to a warm location to have some alone time before their busy schedules kick in is on deck after this?
They’ve just been spotted in London (see Lainey’s article today).
She tried to get with Douglas Booth between Calvin and Harry. Douglas rejected her. Because he felt she was manipulating the media by calling the papa and coming on to hard too soon.
It won’t be long Taylor will dump him too just like she did to Calvin.
Wow. I used to find the HIddles quite hot. Now I just see him as a male, British version of Taylor. And that equals ICK.
They’re one of those brother sister couples that look the same. A match made in PR heaven.
Lainey over there at Lainey Gossip has the pictures (nice, big, clear photos) of their dinner. I literally choked on my coffee. I blame the Brexit coverage for this. Reading more reports on the voting (people who voted Leave are now regretting it) and I figured I would find escape. Nope. Nearly killed me.
I need a pint. or two. or three. Cheers mates.
Tom looks really happy. Save me a seat at the bar. I’ll pick up the next round. I hope this is a wake up call to the US citizens to vote in November, because Brexit was SO close.
Yeah, a wake up call to education oneself before stepping into the voting booth.
Did I really write “education one’s self”?! Oi! *facepalm*
Yes, if the UK Google search numbers are to be believed, people didn’t know what they voted for.
Time to get to work Tom! https://www.instagram.com/p/BHBI5IzBiLN/
Next thing the tabloids will say she’s pregnant, of course.
What are her parents like?? I would die if I introduced Tom Hiddleston to my parents.
I would too esp after dating someone for like 2 weeks
I wonder how many people are missing THEO now lol. Taylor is nominated for Teen Choice Awards, so is Elizabeth (along with rest of Team Cap members) I can’t imagine tabloid drama that’ll happen if Taylor, Tom and Elizabeth are at the same place, throw in Chris Evans too so some ‘love square’ exclusives can be written *grabs popcorn*
What fun. I read on Twitter, today, that he sent a text, intended for Taylor, to Lizzie in error. I miss Lizzie.
Seriously? What was the text?
According to Lainey, her jet just landed in London LOL
Do they always hold hands? Like always?
He seems much older and also weirdly like a boy out with his first girlfriend in these. I am totally getting the vibe. She’s 100% in contro of the relationship. He gives me love sick puppy vibes.
I think his excited puppy-ness comes out in relationships. I recall him being pretty openly affectionate with his only other public girlfriend, too. They were cute. So IDK if it’s necessarily weird/famewhorey behavior for him, it’s just how is seems to be.
Are we going to be subjected to these pap-walks for every single date these two vanilla-oatmeal twits go on? Because I unsubscribe
I think she’s pregnant. That’s why she has much fuller figure and he behaves like a mad. They could have sex at Met Gala and they must to be sure that baby isn’t Harris’s. Maybe she and Harris didn’t have sex for a while. Tom wants to have a baby.
If i’m right they will get married very soon to hide her cheating.
And on THAT post – I’m out. Have a good weekend everyone.
Lol
I see you do believe in real love of two attention whores lol
That would be kind of amazing.
These two famewhores deserve each other. Maybe he’ll come to his senses when the clinging and demands for attention from her get on his nerves, but I doubt it. Soon there will be a photo of him with her cats and a caption “Tay Tay’s P*ssies.” I’m off to find a new internet boyfriend.
This public romance has all the combined elements of Jane Austen novel and Noel Coward play. And it’ s all happening in front of our eyes, the birth of one true love. How divine!
In Blind gossup said
” This Singer’s brand is about her being the good person in a relationship. If her dating relationship doesn’t work, it’s because he was a jerk, he didn’t treat her well, or he cheated on her.
So if the word gets out that SHE cheated – resulting in him getting mad, breaking up with her, and unfollowing her on social media – well, that simply doesn’t work! She can’t be the bad guy! That hurts her brand!
The only way to fix The Singer’s brand was to bring him back into the fold. So he was given considerable “business incentives” to start following her again on social media and to say nice things about her.
Order has been restored.”
PR STUNT TAYTOOO
He has a young tall and blond girfriend who happens to be a popstar princess (with silicon boobs and a private jet). She has a boyfriend who’s a “perfect” british gentleman from a respectable upper class family. What a fairy tail! Disney should make an animated movie about them:-)
They will get married for sure, maybe have a child. It’s the only way to validate this nonsense because if they don’t both are toast career wise. They both made a bad choice and it won’t end well.
I can’t believe some of the comments. These two are in total infatuation and the bed magic is upon them in a big way. I’d recognize that look anywhere. Sure, it may not last, but I have this funny feeling that it will.
“The bed magic is upon them in a big way”
Holy Sweet Jesus…Please Save Us from TayToLebrity!!!
I cant help to think of how flirty Tom has been with people like Scarlet Johansson and Natalie Portman over the years. I think he really wants a A-lister girlfriend. When he said he found strong women attractive he wasnt joking.
And maybe being part of a big, public romance has been a dream of his too…
Conspiracy theory..They were already dating at the Met Gala, big rollout after beeecause..there is a baby Tiddles on the way (bigger boobs). Annnd now, DM has them with his Mom and his mom has her arms around Taylor. He is in it to win it. Engagement to follow soon I bet ala Kaley Cuoco.
So I suppose now y’all gonna say Tom’s mother is thirsty, too.
hiddleswiftx.tumblr.com/tagged/tom-hiddleston
I think Mama Hiddleston loves her precious boy and would go along with whatever he wanted as long as it made him happy, never mind that this set-up makes him look ridiculously hypocritical, and yes, thirsty.
This may be where I get off the Hiddles-train, before it jumps the tracks altogether, although I fear it may already be too late.
That’s 2 of us @Dara…
This is just too much, all the pap strolling and photo -ops and fame-wh*ring…
Dara, Nighty – he’s officially gone off the deep end. Tom Hiddleston has pimped out his own mother.
I’ve commented before that I thought his pr was obvious or even suspect but this is on a different level.
What with the UK vote yesterday it’s like I’ve woken up in an alternate universe.
I would have expected introducing his love to his mother to have been “sacred” at the very least.
The constant pap walk with these two is officially gross. I now find them nauseating.
Real life doesn’t work this way.
Oh don’t be ridiculous!
Paps don’t just happen to show up in that remote part of England, or to a random airport the very moment something is happening. His mother house isn’t on the main street, it’s protected by walls, it has a private drive and garden, they could have stayed there and no paps would have been allowed to take pics because it’s illegal. If they wanted to be private, and they showed that they can, they would have. That was a pap stroll, everything in this from the beginning was a pap stroll.
I get it that it’s hard to admit he is as much as famewhore as Cumberbatch, but you can’t deny facts.
The latest pap stroll with his mother is just ridiculous. He is a joke at this point.
The paps and PR have been arranged for every step of this. I don’t know Taylor’s side, but I would take this as a sign the Hiddles wants to close the deal. It’s the A list match he has wanted all along. You know the saying “he would sell his mother for…..”? So much for private life being sacred etc.
And you can’t even say the paps track them because of the tweet sighting, because the DM has photos of that very sighiting at the gas station, so the paps were already there with them.
Everyone thought they knew who Tom was. Same logic applies to his mom. A lady we know almost nothing about except for what Tom choose to tell us.
man those pics are all so staged, why cant they hire capable people?
also how about taking it a bit slower before everyone gets sick of it?
its too obvious that they have to do everything before Tom has got to go to Australia.
Taylor’s security guys are attractive. That is what I have gained from all these photos. Especially the one with hair. *purr*
Lol some celebs defs use their parents and friends in their pap schemes. Meeting the parents after two weeks tops is definitely a stunt. Cmon it’s beyond obvious.
Tiddles I’m sorry to say that I cannot take your thirst on top of Taylor’s immature relationship drama/thirst. So over him ugh
I say Tays pregnant. It can be the only reason why he’s putting up with this crap.
Hidds should demand a DNA test though
That would be the easy explanation. Sometimes life is full of easy explanations, sometimes life isn’t. If she is pregnant, I am sure it will be revealed in no time. Considering they made to meeting the parents within two weeks of dating.
Kittykat, You give him too much credit. He is into all this nonsense as much as she is.
Should have read the comments before posting. I just said the same thing 🙂
mama hiddles is cute! *_*
These two have been seeing each other for months probably. This is the only explanation. Tom would not include his mother into a PR stunt. This or she is pregnant. Mark my words. He will propose to her soon. Cumberbatch part two. This is so funny. I am off the Hiddleston train.
Totally believe there was overlap between him and Harris. Also, I think they knew each other well before the Met Gala and that is why Calvin was not there and that footage of them dancing was released, to set the ball in motion and not question any time line before that. Tom has a pattern of going after women who are involved with others and Taylor wanted to date and actor.
oh no. This is not the first time I’ve seen the parents dragged out for PR by a celebrity. But for him? As I said down thread, he has never posed on the red carpet with either parent or siblings near by. I’m willing to go either way at this point: tooth-ache, barf inducing real relationship or run-of-the-mill PR stunt.
agreed. they have to have known each other and been dating for a while before this public roll-out. this is the roll-out to make it seem as if they’re in a whirlwind romance, and to make it less surprising – if it happens quickly- that they are getting married. if that’s the case, the schmaltzy photos (his head against her shoulder, the kissing hands at the restaurant) make more sense. true-love + PR. i can’t hate on such efficiency.
Is she pregnant? All of this is happening so fast.
I agree that she may be preggers, it seems to be the only plausible explanation for all the rush in meeting – and posing for paps – with the parents.
Now that TommyAnnE is showing his Sugar Baby “his London” I just hope ring shopping isn’t on the agenda this weekend.
And I’m positive she won’t allow him to go to Australia by himself. She’ll probably fly him there and be on the set every day with him.
Gross!
Strange as it may seem, I believe you. Mama Hiddleston is wearing a proud new grandma face if I ever seen one. And Hiddles himself seems over the moon.
Now who was the one who pricked the rubber in the first place. *ducks head and runs*
Wasn’t she seen drinking alcohol at the Selena Gomez concert and the oh so very intimate dinner at that chain restaurant in Nashville, though?
Did she, really? Oh no, you just smashed my fragile bottle of hope to the ground you evil lady. So now we are only left with either the Planted PR Thingy or Crazy in Love : Missionary Style Edition option to speculate on.
After seeing the pap stroll in downtown Ipswich there HAS to be more than the usually TayTo bf roll out PR. Was Taylor ever seen in Scotland with Harris? She HAS to be preggers but wouldn’t this be a huge marketing disaster for prim/proper Taylor?
I feel bad for all the awesome shoes she had during the Harris period – all that shoe game with the mega high heels sent to the scrap heap for now flats.
I think I actually feel sorry for Harris.. well not much but while she was baking him a cake, she was baking something else with Hiddles?
I’m waiting for Sam Medes to call Tom and be like “Mr. Swift-Hiddleston. I’m sorry but you won’t be the next James Bond. To be honest…we’re just tired of seeing your face. We’re going with Idris. He’s less thirsty and, well, better looking. However, I do hear the Disney Channel is looking for an actor to play a father in their upcoming new original series. It will star you and Selena Gomez parents to two children named Hannah and Montana. I’m sure your wife Taylor can put in a good word for you there. Ta!”
Also his mom may look happy, but I bet deep in the recesses of her mind she’s thinking “I should have stopped after the first child.”
And tired of seeing him in the same navy blue jumper, black jeans and gray Aquatalia boots.. jeez, for all the pap shots, shouldn’t he have changed clothes – other than his jaunt to the gym in his dress socks?
And then he takes Tay to the run down mansion he shares with one sister who will in turn terrorize the Tay….eh, one could hope.
A theory: those “non-staged” photos of Hiddleswift meeting his mother. They are an exclusive to the daily fail.
Probably part of a deal so the newspaper is gonna be more nice to them in the immediate future.
Trotting out his Mom like that 🙁 Couldn’t that part at least be private, for now…it’s been such a romance tornado. Yeah, they are all happy now…I hope Tay doesn’t turn them all into lyric fodder, but that smirk on her face tells me otherwise.
I think you just hit it on the head.
Oh yes, I think you’re right.
Not an exclusive. Sold by an agency, that also sold slightly different ones to the Sun. Daily Mail also tried to make it seem like Taylor was miserable. Just before the pics of her laughing and smiling.
I stopped following him on Twitter. No longer a fan. I thought he was going to be a serious actor. His mother is not famous, Tom should have told her to stay indoors & protect her privacy!
Remember how wonderful he was to his fans at Wizard Con? I think it was his parting gift to his fans. He knew what was about to go down.
That’s a very interesting point! I keep getting the vibe that he is intentionally alienating his fan base. He knows who they are and unless he’s a total moron, he knows that this tabloid-bating nonsense is not going to fly (especially given all the previous emphasis he’s put on protecting his private life).
The thing I can’t figure out is how he imagines this strategy is going to help him professionally. Unless he’s going to start making non-stop rom-coms and voicing animated characters, I don’t see how Taylor’s fan base is going to put butts in seats for the movies he makes. Maybe the indie movie scene was not providing the level of fame he wants.
Or maybe he knocked her up and knew his career was going to die a slow death, so he took that opportunity to say goodbye.
More Mom Hiddleston pictures on the web now – the three of them walking along the beach. ((I saw them on twitter) I’m sure they will be at Wimbledon next week.
Mom seems very happy I must say. And Taylor and Tom are cute together. Who knows where this will lead?
His mom is happy she will be a grandmother soon . It’s the only explanation.
At least those looked a bit real (as in not taken from 6 feet away). Those were cute pics.
WOW. HE. DRAGGED. OUT. HIS. MOTHER.
I have yet to see him pose with any of his parents and/or family members at a movie premier and yet we get these gems.
Is this jumping the shark?
Or, he’s now in an unprecedented territory like his country, which he obviously doesn’t care when he’s busy photo-oping.
Eh, I don’t look to celebrities for political chatter. To be honest, I never expected him to comment either way.
But dragging mom out? I’m not much of a dater but I know it’s not the norm to meet the parents after, from what I can tell, is less than a month dating.
@ M.A.F. It’s not that I expect him to comment on politics. He’s not a politician. The Shenanigans are hard to stomach at a time like this. I should close CB for a bit, I think.
Coming out of lurkdom to say that with the pictures of Tom’s mother, this has definitely jumped the shark.
I was a fan of his before this circus started – or maybe a semi-fan, I don’t even own any of his films, I just thought he was a charming and intelligent man and a good actor. He looks so fake to me now, I can’t even believe it’s the same man anymore. Yikes.
I don’t usually jump on the pregnancy bandwagon, but I think Taylor might be pregnant. Something looks different about her. And if she is, I can only say, well played, Mr Hiddleston! The English upper classes have never turned up their noses at rich women, and his child would be heir to $280 million and counting. Well played indeed.
She is so pregnant.
Yeah, I’m starting to think so.
As this continues to go at warp speed, I would not be surprised.
Each day I think surely they’ll give it a break (go private), but to meet both sets of parents within 24-48 hours, in different countries?
My thing with their PR—if they were doing it correctly, wouldn’t someone be looking at the comments sections on literally every site saying how fake this looks? One staged photoshoot was clearly too much, as everyone was mocking them. Since then, we’ve had post-concert, Nashville (two nights at least?), and now London. Guys. C’mon. Someone in their PR needs to stop calling the paps every five minutes. It’s not a good look.
I was willing to give them a pass on the first photoshoot: Some celebs like to be in control of how certain news gets out, and I understand that. That’s totally fine, actually. But they’re laying it on SO thick that if they don’t get married, this is going to make them both look ridiculous. They’d better be awfully serious about this. Because it already looks like a joke. The only way they can salvage it in any way is by it turning out to be a legit love story.
Legit love story, or a legit pregnancy. Either way I have a gut feeling they might get married at lightning speed.
It’s my gut feeling they’ll get married, too. And if they’ve found the perfect match in each other–yay, good for them! I’m happy for them. What I’m failing to understand is why they want this extreme media circus surrounding them (and it’s extreme even by her standards). It makes the romance seem fake, even though I genuinely think it’s real. So why are they doing this? He’s about to go film in Australia, and she’s taking a break. He won’t be promoting anything until Kong next spring, so why do this when any promotional opportunities are so far away? I’m perplexed. I guess by that time he’ll be better established as “Taylor Swift’s boyfriend (or husband),” but all the excitement will have faded by then.
Just trying to add up Real Relationship + Staged Photos and it’s not making sense.
I’ve been trying to wrap my head round the same thing, to no avail. It doesn’t make any sense, unless it’s some kind of damage control, but for what…? But whatever it is, it doesn’t seem to have the desired effect, as people all over are rolling their eyes or laughing at this whole thing. I just can’t imagine what they’re trying to do here.
The only explanation I can think of is that they were having an affair while she was still together with CH, and she got pregnant, so they’re now trying to create the illusion of a true whirlwind romance so that their quick marriage wouldn’t seem so out of place.
But we’ll see soon, I guess. Many people suggest they’re only dating and trying to “control the narrative” of how the news gets out there, and I might have bought that explanation earlier, but now that they brought Hiddleston’s mother into it the whole thing seems so ridiculously OTT and tacky for a couple who have only dated for two weeks.
I agree this is a legitimate relationship- good for them. I also think there was overlap with CH and the Met was a roll out of them as a couple. (Why did he follow her on Twiter in March?) The only way to clean up the narrative was to show its True Love ( and possibly give CH $) hence all the pap pics. The backlash with the U.K. Media was horrible, so they’ve made a deal with The DM in order to control the message. TS is a master at this and is giving his team major lessons. And I believe this is what Toms wanted all along, a high profile match. I see a Dec engagement. The only question who is going to get the exclusive pics, VF or Vogue?
Addition to above: his family is going along with this to help him salvage his image after all the negative press, and yes because he’s in love.
Not only a high profile match, but also a super-rich wife. I think Tom is gunning for that. I had something of a ‘d’oh’ moment earlier when I realized that OF COURSE he’s aiming high in the marriage market. I wonder how I missed it before: he fits the type exactly. Since his schooldays he’s been living the somewhat uncertain life of the English gentleman who doesn’t have quite the money and the status to fit in with his Etonian peers. He has the image of the aristocrat, but he isn’t really an aristocrat. His family is wealthy, but not rich enough for a lavish lifestyle.
I do think he’s in love, but love isn’t always blind. Taylor is perfect for him – not only in terms of the fame game, but also money and status, on top of being beautiful and (presumably) fun. Money and status aren’t necessarily something he seeks consciously. I’ve seen it before in similar circles. When you subconsciously crave something, you’re more likely to fall in love with it when you meet it in an attractive package. His sister married up in terms of social standing, too.
I think the engagement is coming much sooner than Dec.
@fiddlefaddle and @beach girl . I think you two have hit upon the most likely explanation for this business. He was seen out with his brother in law this afternoon. So it looks as though his sister in at his mother’s house as well.
I’d bet this has been going on longer than 2 weeks
When I first read the comments up-thread that she might be pregnant, my response was “that’s ridiculous”…
But now I’m starting to think maybe not! Look at Mum Hiddleston — She looks so happy! If my son had been dating someone for 2 weeks, I would be reservedly optimistic and polite — over tea in the kitchen or the reception room — regardless of how lovely (and/or loaded) the young woman in question was. But this walk down the street with an elated expression suggests she knows this is important and will last beyond a couple of months. SHE IS GOING TO BE A GRANDMUM, YOU GUYS! And that explains Tom’s sh8t-eating grin, as well. He’s not an idiot. He would have kept this *somewhat* on the down-low (and with Taylor, the down-low is probably 1-2 pap strolls per week), but this every single day nonsense HAS to have some sort of built-in guarantee. If not, he’s a grade-A idiot who deserves every bit of derision he’s gotten in the past 2 weeks.
TWO WEEKS! Wow. If this is really what’s happening, I can’t wait to see how Taylor spins an oopsie pregnancy that probably happened while she was still ostensibly with someone else. UNBELIEVABLE. 2016, y’all.
Exactly. They wouldn’t be showing off their relationship if this wasn’t extremely serious, or they’d both look so foolish. And they’re both smarter than that. Despite the staged vibes of it all, you gotta admit they do look happy. Very happy. Not in the “smile for the camera to sell this” sort of way, either.
Do you think those pics from late May with Tom and sad-looking JArthy means he was telling her he got TAYLOR SWIFT pregnant and they were going to have a go at a relationship? Oh my lord. This keeps getting better. Maybe Taylor is sticking with flats so she doesn’t trip in her heels and hurt the baby. Oh god. This is too much.
I saw someone put Benedict/Sophie pictures in similar situations alongside the pictures of these two and the difference is STARK. Tom is definitely over the moon, and I think it has to mean there’s a guarantee of sorts. Although, having been pregnant myself (2x) and fortunate enough to have two healthy girls, a pregnancy *this* early isn’t necessarily a guarantee, so love (or the idea thereof) has to be in the mix, as well.
Let’s say for argument’s sake that she got pg on May 2 — That would put her at 9 weeks now. The earliest she would have known about it would have been two weeks after — May 16ish. I think Tom’s meeting with Jayne was before that. (?) I’m not sure and too lazy to look, even though I did just pull up a due date calculator! FWIW, the due date for a May 2nd conception is January 23, 2017. XD It’s total craziness!!! And didn’t she actually have a slumber party with her girl squad after the Met ball??? Who knows??? The pure PR theories in response to Calvin/Kanye could be the correct explanations, but it just makes less sense from Tom (and his family O_O).
Time will tell!!!
(And I hope this little convo of ours gets buried in the slow weekend period, or we might see all this speculation in a tabloid story next week…OOPS!)
To platospopcorn: He’s meeting with Jayne May 23.
@margaret — Oh… :O
I don’t think he would meet JArthy to tell her about a pregnancy. Why would he? It’s nothing to do with her. Even if he trusted her enough to keep the secret, he wouldn’t have that conversation in a crowded restaurant.
@platospopcorn – Ha! We should be freelancing for the tabloids. But yes. Baby or no baby, they look truly in love, or at least infatuated. Whatever this is, they undeniably are into each other. They both strike me as people who would be unabashedly corny and handsy with their significant other.
She did have a sleepover with friends after the gala, according to Instagram. But that doesn’t mean they didn’t see each other in the days following. Or went at it in the coat closet, lol. I’m kidding. Kinda.
Don’t get me wrong, I know these two play the game and wholly acknoweldge PR is involved. But their relationship is definitely real, and moving very quickly regardless of what is going on in Calvin’s or Kanye’s worlds. It’s difficult to reconcile a serious relationship with extreme publicity, but that appears to be the case. We probably won’t know the reason for a couple months though. Either they’ll be engaged or expecting. I imagine (or at least I’d hope) they’ll cool it with the pics soon. This can’t be happening every day.
I feel like I’ve stepped into a parallel universe every time new pictures come out of these two. It’s just SO MUCH happening SO FAST. They’re smart enough to know people won’t believe the onslaught of paparazzi pictures. I truly do not doubt their relationship one bit, but I’m just completely confused by their endgame here. It’s not making them look good, and they must know it. They must. Maybe the pregnancy theories are true. That’s a good explanation for this weirdness. I don’t like being overly cynical about two celebrities I find to be generally kind, talented, and well put-together, but I just don’t understand this right now.
The more I think about this, the more they make sense as a couple – especially if they end up marrying.
Taylor seems to be an Anglophile, and TH is like an Anglophile’s wet dream, with his background, his connections, and all that Shakespeare. He’s been cosying up to Camilla lately, hasn’t he? If he ends up marrying Taylor, the two of them only need to contribute to Charles’s charities and they’ll be in the royal inner circle and make lots of aristo buddies. With Taylor’s money and media oomph, no exclusive circles in Europe would turn them down. As a couple they’d have that ‘English aristocrat marries fabulously rich American heiress’ vibe of the Edwardian era, and by God, they would make the most of that.
In other words, Taylor brings to the table plenty of money, fame, and showbiz connections. Tom brings his ‘English aristocrat’ vibes and all the connections that come with that – royalty included.
I think they made a huge amount of sense. Having seen interviews of both of them, it honestly dawned on me before the Met Gala that they’d make a cute pair. When they were spotted dancing there I thought “Hey, that’s cute. But she’s seeing someone else.” And then they actually happened. Their personalities click. On the personal side, they’re both overly sentimental and poetic and dorky and prioritize their careers. On the professional side, he matches the image it seems she has always been seeking–a classy Brit with connections and a polite, non-offensive persona. She has tried with other British guys, but I think he’s the first that honestly comes off as a nice person/stereotypical English gentleman. As for him, he’s with a woman who will up his status and allow him more visibility in the media. They make all the sense in the world. I can’t imagine them getting with people who would make more sense, honestly. And on top of all that, I think they’re actually in love. 2016 is a wild one.
@K.C. Exactly. I originally had him pegged as somebody who’d end up marrying someone a bit surprising, not a showbiz figure or a typical aristo wife. But I’ve come to realize I interpreted him incorrectly; he’s naturally concerned with status – with his background, it would be strange if he weren’t – and Taylor is a perfect blend of the superstar and a wife fit for the high society life. They make a ton of sense. And as you say, they seem to be in love on top of it.
I think they could become an entertainment power couple who’d be equally at home with ‘real’ royalty and Hollywood royalty, but I must admit this cringe-worthy paparazzi whirlwind was a bit of a rocky start. I don’t think the public reaction has been at all what they were going for.
One thing is for sure: if they end up married, TH will have officially upstaged BC. LOL.
The weird thing, though, is that this paparazzi tour has so obviously not been a hit with fans or the media, and they’re continuing it anyway. Can’t wrap my head around that bit. If they want to be seen and have it come off more naturally, they should have people leaking “fan” pictures taken on iPhones. I should be running this PR machine, dang it. :p
But yes. If he and Taylor stay together, he has officially upstaged all his peers, lol. Can’t get much higher up than Taylor Swift.
They’re the most annoying couple ever.
Agreed. I didn’t think anyone could beat Blake and Gwen to the post, but then along came these two and their crazy pap game.
She’s not pregnant. She was reportedly drinking wine in RI. Flying in the first trimester is fine but too much can lead to blood clots and they’ve been on a plane more than on the ground lately. And this girl is not letting an unplanned pregnancy ruin her butter wouldn’t melt image. No way Jose.
What they both are is PR-egnant.
they are the cutest couple ever
Pregnancy discussion already? Just nope. His mother looks happy because her son is dating someone with $300m in the bank. TH looks happy because he’s getting some action, AND a PR “boost”. TS looks happy because she’s getting more attention than ever. It’s all quite simple to me.
I don’t think it’s very fair to attribute some sort of mercenary motive to his mother. Most parents just want their children to be happy. Being comfortable financially is a nice bonus but the family and Tom is already that. Not Taylor mega bucks but comfortable. I am not sure what Mum Hiddles – Middles – or Tom or Taylor are thinking and I don’t think anyone else is either.
She’s not pregnant in my opinion. This is an attraction that started before the Met Ball, then an affair requiring major damage control, hence the staged RI pr and Nashville. The U.K. Backlash occurred so they struck an agreement with the DM to control the narrative and his family agreed to participate in staged pr to help him clean up his image. Additionally Tom has decided that she’s a great high profile match, so more family support. And I do believe he’s in love – bonus.
You go, Tom. LIVE YOUR LIFE!
Why would they make an exclusivity deal with a newspaper (I use the term loosely) that would then use the pics with an article dragging them? That’s not logical.
To get them to not drag them? Quid pro quo? Make us look good and we will give you exclusive pictures?
I don’t think this latest DM article does that, certainly not like the previous ones. It seems to me to toned down quite a bit.
Taylor, don’t trust anyone this fast. Where is your mother?
Paps are looking for the big payoff. They track her jet’s tail number, even fans can do that.
Pilots have to file a flight plan, paps wait at the airport and follow Taylor and company from there. It isn’t rocket science. There’s pics out there of at least five paps with HUGE cameras at the end of the drive.
The beach is the main beach by the town, a short walk from his mom’s house. Paps are professional stalkers, looking for a five-six figure payday. thiddyastro.tumblr.com/image/146478900204
They can hole up and hide, or they can ignore the cameras and live their lives.
Spot on with your comments Totallybiased.
This is a new high profile thing & soon shots of them together will drop in value no? How much more of the dancing, canoodling & holding hands do people want? Surely it will calm down, until they break up, get married or get pregnant.
Though the media presence for a relationship continues to be out of character for Tom I think she or her team are teaching him a lesson in just getting on with it. If you fight for ‘privacy’ you are just expending negative energy as they will probably chase you more and you miss out on doing what you want. I say good on them, Taylor has 5 body guards to keep the vultures from getting too close. She has been in the ‘celebrity’ game much longer than him and is clearly a master at this.
Right now it seems it’s worth it, the fear is if it crashes & burns he has dipped into a world that is not his domain & I wonder where that would leave him? Being publicly in love is one thing but being publicly heartbroken is tough. Maybe that’s why she has moved on so rapidly.
I agree. I know this couple is very PR-friendly, but I think to forget about the crafty media side of this story would be amiss.
*long time listen first time caller* The different levels of investment in this thread are amazing lol. With all the sh*t that’s currently going on in the world, this discourse – not the actual article, is a nice reprieve.
