Taylor Swift spent Thanksgiving in Rhode Island with the squad & no Hiddles?

Happy Thanksgiving

I’ve been feeling weird about my insistence that Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston will never, ever get back together. There’s circumstantial evidence that Taylor and Tom may have seen each other post-split, although no one can say for sure that Tiddles Is Unbroken. I was keeping my eye on the idea that Tom might be sticking around LA for the next few weeks, and that Taylor has a home in LA and they might be seeing each other on the downlow.

So I’m grateful that it doesn’t seem like Taylor and Tom were anywhere near each other for Thanksgiving. YAY! Taylor was in New York before Thanksgiving, and she seems to have celebrated Thanksgiving at her Rhode Island mansion, the site of her annual Fourth of July parties, and the site of this year’s epic TAYMERICA bash. Taylor did invite some of the Taymerica crew to her Thanksgiving party, but it doesn’t seem like Hiddles – or any potential boyfriend – was around.

Taylor and her friends chronicled their Rhode Island Thanksgiving on Instagram, of course. It looks like Lily Donaldson and Martha Hunt – two of the Tay-squad members for several years now – were there. Also there? Todrick Hall, a long-time friend of Taylor, although I wouldn’t necessarily say he’s part of the squad.

The squad also did the Mannequin Challenge on the beach. Ugh… this one kind of sucks?

    Circumstantial evidence being that they’re both still alive?

  2. swak says:

    Why would she be spending Thanksgiving with Hiddleston? Unless their break up wasn’t true.

  3. susiecue says:

    Was there supposed to be a Hiddles?

  4. DanceNight23 says:

    Okay. So she celebrated Thanksgiving. Cool..not news through.

  5. Miss V says:

    Taylor’s dancing in that mannequin challenge, though….

    • third ginger says:

      Do Brits even celebrate Thanksgiving? I’m sorry. This story died months ago.

      • spidey says:

        @ third ginger – no, I’ve never heard of it being celebrated here in the UK. But we have had Black Friday imposed on us!

      • Becky says:

        I thought Thanksgiving was a commemoration of the Pilgrims first Harvest in the New World, so no Brits don’t celebrate it.

        Churches usually have some kind of Harvest celebration though (since the pilgrims were English that maybe where it comes from).

      • spidey says:

        Yes we have Harvest Festival services in churches in the UK where people take harvest produce into the churches

      • Ashamed 2 b a Fl girl says:

        @ Becky – Canada celebrates Thanksgiving as well although it is celebrated in October.

  6. spidey says:

    Haven’t they been apart longer than they were together?

  7. lightpurple says:

    I must say that light fixture is really ugly.

  8. Louise177 says:

    I didn’t know there were rumours they were still together. There’s nothing to indicate it. Agree this was a bad challenge. The poses seemed unnatural, not something done in real life.

  9. Jess says:

    Her parents, aunts, uncles and her brother were also there. Nice

  10. Moxie Remon says:

    Enough with this, I really don’t see where there’s any possibility of them getting back together only because they could be on the same city.

  11. JWSWJ says:

    The media wh0re is so desperate for attention the she wouldn’t even give her poor overworked PR teams Thanksgiving off.

  12. Patricia says:

    Her dancing is incredibly embarrassing, gave me the second hand embarrassment. It looks like she is trying to get a turd out!

  13. Shelly says:

    Oddly.very ethnic for Taylor. Usually very tall,white and skinny.

    • WeAreAllMadeOfStars says:

      Yes….but then she was called out for being the poster childwoman of white moneyed exclusionary behavior. And besides, she’s got a fake butt and boobs now, has gained some weight, and is hanging out with that other fameho Drake. I’m not saying she’s going R&B, but it’s her…nothing happens by accident.

  14. virginfangirl says:

    Tumblr Taylor fans think they MAY be seeing each other. It is a possibility. You see, every time Tom and Taylor are both in the states or both in London at the same time, no one sees hide nor hair of them. And in the past they would track Taylor’s plane, and they would both be in LA or London, with no spotting of either and no SM posts by Taylor. But she may be trying to hide her plane better now so it’s become more difficult to track her where abouts. But these Tumblr girls are detectives, and even look for chartered planes. And things have aligned so they MAY have been together lately. But no way to prove it either way. But again, there was several days when Taylor was MIA and Tom too. Not so unusual for Tom, but it seems unusual for Taylor. Don’t kill the messenger.

    • lightpurple says:

      Tom has been quite visible during his recent short visits to the US.

      • virginfangirl says:

        Maybe. So this last visit Tom did the Kimmel show Wednesday evening. Then he was spotted again on Monday leaving LA at the airport. I am unaware of any spottings Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. Was he spotted?
        And while I can’t recall exact dates in the past, I remember similar details, where there were several days of MIA Tom & Taylor when they were in the same cities. I don’t think MIA is unusual for him, but when Taylor is in the same city and she is also MIA for days, that shows they MAY have met up.
        But this time Taylor never flew to LA where Tom was, but there was a chartered plane from LA to Nashville a few hours after Kimmel. Who knows if it was Tom. Probably not, but they may be keeping this relationship on the down low. It is possible.

      • lightpurple says:

        He attended something with GDT.

      • virginfangirl says:

        lightpurple, how do you know Tom attended this? I read the rumor Tom would be going when GDT announced a surprise for his exhibit. Then GDT twitter denounced that rumor, and said the surprise was not going to be Tom, but was going to be GDT himself giving the tour.

      • Madly says:

        Your attempts to try to stir the pot are pathetic.

        He was spotted in London. And on a plane to London recently.

      • Justme says:

        And he was buying some English Breakfast tea in London while Taylor was having her Thanksgiving. Plus his publicist stated through Gossip Cop earlier this month that they were NOT back together (that was when her fans tracked her plane to London.) plus her brother recently unfollowed him in Instagram. When he was in LA he was with his publicist, probably working on PR for Skull Island and maybe in talks for the new Hard Boiled movie for Warners.
        They were together physically for part of June and part of July. Then they maybe saw each other for a couple of days in August. A summer fling, or a rebound or whatever. Not the love story of the age anyway.

      • spidey says:

        @ Justme – you need a drink too! 🍹🍸

        But well said. 🙂

      • lightpurple says:

        Please pass those drinks this way. My clone has returned below and is posting the exact opposite of my beliefs again.

    • Chef Grace says:

      Just stop please. I finally got that vest out of mind. 🙂
      Why are so many still pairing these two up?
      I saw pics on Pinterest of him having breakfast this week with a guy whom I swear was the same one who assisted him during Thor 3.
      At least that puffy coat is not in sight.

      • lightpurple says:

        That was Ollie, his personal assistant. Ollie has worked for him for several years.

      • Justme says:

        Yeah that’s Ollie he was with. I hope Tom takes a bit of a break (at least from flying anyway) and recharges a bit. He looks very tired these days and a bit stressed out. He’s not used to bad publicity, so this year must have been unsettling for him.

      • lightpurple says:

        No time off. He has been in South Sudan this week, working on the UNICEF documentary again.

  15. Chef Grace says:

    Ollie. Thank you ladies. Nice to have a name to go with his face.
    I feel that bit of bad publicity will fade by the time the monkey movie arrives.

  16. virginfangirl says:

    Tom seems like the nicest guy ever. I have never read or heard one person ever say a negative thing about him who have met him personally and so many people he has worked with praise him for his work ethic and say how nice he is. We need more of him in this world.

  17. Bread and Circuses says:

    Even if she WERE still with Hiddleston, American Thanksgiving would be a perfect opportunity for her to go be with other people she loves, not him, because it’s one holiday that would mean absolutely nothing to him.

    • Anatha says:

      He celebrated July 4th with her. He’d be there if they’d still be together, since he doesn’t have to be with any family that day.

  18. spidey says:

    What Tom has been doing recently with one of our favourite history programme presenters:

  19. Ankhel says:

    I don’t usually pay any attention to the gossip about Taylor’s sexuality, but WOW that photo with Martha Hunt!

  20. Andrea says:

    Shocked she hasn’t found another boyfriend yet..

  21. lightpurple says:

    Couples don’t need to spend holidays together. They could still be secretly seeing each other. Fingers crossed.

    • lightpurple says:

      Oh look ! My clone is back! You cross your fingers.

      • Secret squirrel says:

        Can admins stop them? Maybe have it so no two registered names can be the same. Luckily we know you and your “style” so won’t be fooled!

      • spidey says:

        @secret squirrel I thought that too.

      • lightpurple says:

        I really wish they would. And not everyone recognizes my “style” although the clone comes nowhere close. For those unclear, the real lightpurple does not care who Tom gets himself attached to so long as the person is of age and free and the real lightpurple does not like Taylor Swift but also does not like the misogynist known as Kanye and that seems to be the problem for the clone.

  22. Redgrl says:

    She has the worst hair. That’s all i got..

    • Ellie says:

      It’s BAD lately. But may I add, this is totally just an ad for those beats speakers that Apple bought so now Taylor is the spokesperson for. Eyerolls.

  23. Justme says:

    According to a post on Twitter, Tom was finishing the documentary on the Sudan for UNICEF last week. So he has things other than Taylor on his mind.

  24. virginfangirl says:

    I had a late night tipping back a few, and dreamed/had a nightmare that Taylor Swift, Tom Hiddleston, and a bunch of other famous people were gathered in my backyard for some kind of work thing. And I was trying to spy on Tom & Taylor to notice any signs if they were together, but I had to clean my bathroom too because someone had made a huge mess of it with water and soap and such & I had all these guest that needed to use it. So I could never figure out if they were together. I REALLY need a hobby, or need to lay off the booze.

    • spidey says:

      @ virginfangirl “I REALLY need a hobby, or need to lay off the booze.” In that order?

      Don’t know which is saddest – the people in the dream, or that you were dreaming about cleaning the bathroom! 🙂

  25. Tania says:

    Am I the only one that finds it a little disturbing that there are people out there tracking planes? Yikes.

    • lightpurple says:

      I find it quite disturbing too.

      • virginfangirl says:

        Yeah, it can be scary. Imagine if some crazed fan has this info and then knows where their obsession is. One thing I’ve learned as a virgin fan girl, is that some fans see this as innocent fun, but for others it seems much more serious.

      • Madly says:

        Virginfangirl, why are you acting so innocent? You have been using plane tracking data trying to spin a fake story about tom and Taylor for weeks. Stop playing like you are innocent when you are not.

      • virginfangirl says:

        I won’t post plane tracking details anymore. But this is a GOSSIP site, so speculation is allowed. GOSSIP definition: casual or unconstrained conversation or reports about other people; typically involving details that are not confirmed as being true.

      • MI6 says:

        Gossip is one thing. Trolling is quite another.

    • MI6 says:

      VFG, I hate to point out the obvious, but if you’re repeating that information to perpetuate far-fetched relationship speculation, you’re equally complicit.

  26. Em says:

    Wow, Lily Donaldson – she’s been around forever. I would have thought she was beyond being part of Taylor’s girl gang but I guess not.

  27. Ladiabla says:

    Noooooo….I never ever ever want them back together. No looking back Tom! And ugh that video is making me honte.

  28. Maude says:

    She so desperately wants to be liked by all. Having one or two *real* close friends is not good enough, it has to be a sprinkling of known *beautiful* people. What a way to project your insecurities, to buy friendships with money and fame.

    I only just heard her song Shake if Off recently and realised its made up of all the “gossip” about her, so she really does read about herself ALOT! But in true Swifty mode, she is always a victim.
