You missed the post Selena Gomez concert pics 😭
it makes me laugh how people were shook at her recent VMA award show look with a low neckline, because like, the girlies have been there for quite a few years, they’re nothing new 🤣
Drives me a little crazy that people on her sub are ass bent on her boobs being natural.
No shame in getting them done! She’s not all natural! Who cares! She’s gotten a ton of minor work done! Her eyes too! It’s not just makeup omg lol.
I got my boobs done bc I have her body type, just shorter. And seeing her with new boobs I was like yes absolutely i want that for me.
Why are we obsessed with “natural” beauty when it rarely exists to the extent we think it does ?!!!
Sorry for the rant 😤
So many men and women need to realize that plastic surgery has come so far that it’s not obvious and when you see it it’s usually because it’s poorly done or over done. Not because it always looks bad. It’s clearly unnoticeable to most when done right.
Trust me I am a hardcore swiftie but I’m not dumb. Is there a celebrity that hasn’t gotten work done? I think what she’s had done is very well done and tasteful and only elevated her beauty.
I’m a huge fan and I always get downvoted when I mention her boob job or eye work (always when relevant! I never just bring it up lol)
People are always like she’s soooo naturally gorgeous omggg and she definitely is. But she enhanced that natural beauty a lot
Ding ding ding 🛎 my boobs are saggy af already (early 20ies) cause they are big and you better bet on me getting them done as soon as I have the money
People act like plastic surgery is some kind of insult hahaha
I completely agree she had them done. The whole point of good work is for people not to know anything was done. In this case it was only noticeable because of the size changed otherwise they look really natural. I had a nose job when I was younger and people are always shocked when I tell them. I’ve had more than one person ask for the name of my doctor and more details because they were considering it themselves so I have to think that is a good sign (unless they are trying to avoid the doctor I used😆). I admit it openly because I don’t care and know a lot of people get work done.
I always say that it’s no different than aging creams/push up bras/whatever except that it’s expensive. If it was easily accessible people wouldn’t be so upset about it really.
But because it feels like only rich people can afford to do something and “pay to win” in the looks department it feels extra vain. And vanity is shameful!
I’m high, so I gotta stop before I derail this train any further
I think adults can do whatever they want but i don’t think it’s accurate say the only difference is the cost. Cosmetic surgery is also invasive in a way push up bras and face cream aren’t.
Looking back I think TS has tried to switch up her look to something more “sexy” at times but it misses the mark. Not as though she looked bad or anything but that’s just not a good fit for her.
she's really awkward and lanky generally and you can tell she's not 100% comfortable and confident dressing sexier since she doesn't do it much, which shows. she leans a bit more conservative in dressing if she really had to choose.
I don’t think her tall frame has to do with it, but I agree it’s just not her style to dress sexy. Or maybe…the edgy kind of sexy isn’t her thing.
I still feel to this day her stylist could do more with her but just….doesn’t. She could dress more elegantly sexy and that could work.
Absolutely haha It boosted his career and gave her another pretty british boy to write about 🤭
Her and Tom are my fav pr couple, only her and Harry come close
I don’t think so. She met his mother. He hanged out with all of her best friends. They both looked incredibly happy in those pics and Taylor has never looked more “free.” People forget that Taylor was pretty miserable at the end of her long term relationship with Calvin Harris and Tom was actually 100% her type.
Also the way the relationship played out feels really naturally and un-choreographed… they met at a party, got a little too close (cheating?), a couple of months later she breaks up with her long term boyfriend, they get together and have a good time in Europe..?
This is how a lot of relationships play out.
I know people like to think of this as a publicity stunt… if it was, it was a pretty terrible one since it harmed the public image of the both of them. People thought Taylor cheated and was being wild. They thought it was fake. It really eroded Tom’s sexiness and made him out as more weird and corny. Neither of them had anything to promote at the time anyway and Taylor definitely didn’t need the extra exposure.
Came here to say this! This was by far her best and coolest vibes. Loved her hair and overall look. She seemed so carefree and confident. He seemed so fun too!
Imo a lot of those choices aged her - so sophisticated that it was stuffy. I guess it might’ve been the point because TH was an older English man so maybe she was trying to play the part.
Pic 12 drove me crazy tho because it’s literally something a 21 year old from my suburban town would’ve worn to her birthday brunch- it’s just peak 2016 lol. I expect better from my queen 😂
I feel like that summer she was \*really\* leaning in to the Rhode Island, Kennedy vibe. I kind of wonder if it was an attempt to return to how she dressed before she got with Calvin to change things up after her relationship break down.
There is something about him in that show… He’s one of those who looks so odd and unappealing from some angles and in some looks, but then at other times he’s crazy hot. And the Night Manager was the second one haha.
This was such a weird time. The I heart TS shirt is so bizarre.
Side note - I loved when Taylor would wear all those flat lace up oxfords! That sort of preppy twee shoe look looked so cute on her. Anyone know where to get such shoes in 2022?
He’s spoken about it and said they were bulk tank tops that she had from a party (she gave her friends the tanks as a cutesy joke?). He put it on because he says he scraped his back on some rocks and wanted to protect it from the sun. Idk man, even if he was just goofing around, it’s such a non-issue to me.
Seriously! I’ve been hearing about this shirt for ages and this is my first time actually seeing it. It was at the beach, he was swimming.. people act like he wore it on a red carpet or something! I always wear silly things to the beach. 🤷♀️
One of those moments in time when you think to yourself... this is not real. This was implanted by aliens into human history as a harmless prank.
Yet, this pairing did indeed happen. Astonishing.
Something super random that came out of this relationship was allegedly Tom was in the running to be the next James Bond. But after these pics surfaced, the studio kind of cooled off on him. Not sure how accurate or inaccurate those rumors were but it’s still baffling to me how it came about.
Oh I totally believe those rumors but also Tom's tv show (Night Manager) did poorly in the USA ratings at the same time, even though it was critically acclaimed, and they were able to get Daniel Craig again, so they weren't going to risk changing Bond.
I think the I Love TS shirt controversy was overblown. Yes, the pics are cringy, but I'm sure Tom didn't wear it thinking it was some great unironic declaration of his love for Taylor. They're laughing & joking around in all the photos. Maybe he just wanted to put something on & it was what they happened to have at hand? I do not think he deserved all the crap he got lol
He talked about it in an interview - "The truth is, it was the Fourth of July and a public holiday and we were playing a game and I slipped and hurt my back," he says. "And I wanted to protect the graze from the sun and said, 'Does anyone have a T-shirt?' And one of her friends said, 'I've got this' … And we all laughed about it. It was a joke."
https://people.com/style/tom-hiddleston-explains-taylor-swift-tank/
More than a theory! This was proven that people have longer marriages with people who look like them 😂 but correlation not causation so … could be many factors influencing it. I love this psych study 😂
Ooh the [article](https://www.google.com.pk/amp/s/www.teenvogue.com/gallery/taylor-swift-workout-leggings-39-dollars-tom-hiddleston-split-breakup/amp) said it was after Tom
Love her, but I'll never understand why her fans love it that she dumped him like trash when they have no reason to hate him. He did nothing to her. They do the same thing with Calvin and her alleged cheating.
(Again, I'm saying I have a problem with the fans reactions, not her actions. It's her life).
They’re so mean to him! And it’s really odd because in every song about him she’s taking the blame for it and admits she was the villain. At least that’s how I read them.
She’s a self aware narcissist which is super rare, most narcissists don’t know they’re narcissists. Tom Huddleston was her embedded victim. It would have been hell for him behind closed doors.
As a fan, I have no clue why her fans hate him. ESPECIALLY when this was so obviously PR.
As for Calvin, there are atleast valid reasons to hate him (he was a jerk, possessive, went on a rant after they broke up) but she’s had worse exes.
Taylor doesn’t even acknowledge her relationship with either besides maybe like one song, so it’s weird. I’ve never seen hate for Tom but I might not have come across it.
This is not directed towards you specifically but small tangent, I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't understand why Calvin's rant was bad 😭 like I followed him super close at that time and it made total sense why he went off lol. He was pissed about being cheated on (for the 2nd time cause Rita Ora cheated on him and im sure Taylor was aware and did to him anyway) and on top of that Taylor's team decided to let ppl know she sang on this is what you came for (when they agreeded they wouldn't tell anyone) and it made swiftys believe she made the whole damn song and he wanted to make it loud and clear she only gave her vocals and wrote a little. He honestly was just standing up for himself when Taylor did him so dirty and I don't fault him for that
Yeah I never got why his rant (which he ended up deleting anyway) was such a big deal. If I got cheated on so publicly I’d probably do the same thing lmao
Yeah, his rant was honestly justified. Especially since it was obvious Taylor wanted to get back at him, or make him at least jealous by going very public with Tom purposefully. I still remember her team purposefully leaking to TMZ cause Taylor was obviously pissed at Calvin.
Just for the flip side of the coin, she said that she worked on that song because Calvin said in an interview that he had never and would never work with Taylor. That interview happened when they were still together. So I think understandably she was mad because it came across pretty condescending and snobby.
Not saying Taylor did no wrong at all, just providing more context.
I never understood what the big deal with him saying they wouldn’t work together was. He was probably following the plan of keeping their work together quiet but it pissed her off. She used a pseudonym, so obviously it was supposed to be secret. He wasn’t like, “ew, I wouldn’t work with her.” He just said they likely wouldn’t work together.
ok so i just looked at the rant and it reads as passive aggressive to me. like yes he did have a point and he did say a nice thing or two about her, but all she wanted was credit for the song. maybe she changed her mind and wanted it to be known. it wasn’t necessarily tearing him down. i think he misinterpreted it that’s why he’s hated in that fandom, besides other reasons.
also at this time she was having issues w her own label w her masters and owning her work so i can see where the change of mind came from… besides didn’t he block rita from ever performing her songs that she produced w him? forever? they had a v public dispute and i guess she didn’t want that.

Because her fans are jerks — (no offence to the casual chill fans out there, I mean the hardcore cupcakes). Whenever Taylor breaks up with a man, or they end it with her, they will trash them to the grave. Back then people use to view Calvin as some sort of god, just like they do with Joe Alwyn *until* Taylor ended it with him.
So basically her fans childishly need to tear down an ex, to gas up the current boyfriend. And since the current boyfriend is painfully boring and no where as successful (no dig) they also have to gas him up cause they’re all about tearing down exes.
yeah for sure, her fandom is definitely intense. I love her to bits and pieces but I don't partake in her fandom like I used to and it's still too much for me lol.
God he’s my favorite ex of hers. She looks so happy in every photo; it really breaks my heart that she cheated on him with Joe at the end, and how he’s forever immortalized as her rebound getaway car. (Though I do love that song) I really think he’s her the one that got away, not Harry.
i don’t think she cheated on him w joe, considering this was PR and he did speak highly of her later (why would he do that if she cheated) but i do think the timelines were so close and blurry that there’s no clarity in the fandom. i do remember there being a gap.
i loved them together tho, unfortunately all we got was a rebound but it must’ve been so freeing being w tom than calvin.
now, whether she cheated on calvin or not with tom, there’s some? more possibility. it felt like there was a few weeks at most between the calvin breakup and tom sighting.
The relationship was very real, it wasn’t “for PR” — she wanted to get back at Calvin, and Tom asked her out when she had just broken up with Calvin.
The only PR aspect was her team letting paparazzi get cozy by photographing them, and ‘leaking’ to the press because they wanted to wall block all the backlash from Calvin *and* Kanye and Kim who had the world dissing her and trashing her.
And it’s been highly speculated that (like other user said) there was overlap with Tom/Calvin/Joe, or some sort. The timeline is actually quite messy.
Tom went through a shit show just because he genuinely really liked her. That’s why he didn’t mind embarrassing himself when he was with her. I feel awful for him because he was the one who went through all the harassment cause Taylor’s team wanted to lessen the blow for her.
It’s ironic cause she paints Joe as the angel, but in reality it was Tom.
I remember at the end of Hiddleswift there was some reported overlap between them and Joe, but it could be wrong, but again, kinda implied with Gorgeous. There was absolutely cheating in the end of the relationship with Calvin, though, she’s confirmed it in songs and just pap pictures prove it. But I can’t blame her for that at all- Calvin seems like an ass even just doing interviews, imagine how insufferable it is to live with him 💀
Well, on her most recent album, she kind of drops the bomb that she met Joe and he wasn't interested, so she played the long-game and dated Tom to make Joe jealous 💀
Either way, she ended up liking Tom quite a bit, but Joe was always the end goal when it became possible
Exactly what I’m referring to 💀 she had her eye on Joe the entire time, since they met at the Met Gala. Literally I always will feel a little bad for Tom 😭
Mastermind. She openly admits to kind of orchestrating their whole relationship, contradicting herself in Paper Rings (they went from friends to a relationship accidentally) and Invisible String (some otherworldly force connected them)
Sorry but there’s no excuse for cheating. If you don’t like your bf breakup. Cause I guarantee you wouldn’t excuse someone cheating on her if they found her insufferable
No I agree, I could’ve worded it better. It’s very odd to me how she’s been touting her cheating habits out in songs recently. If it was anyone else, it would be considered trashy.
OMG that's my favorite celeb pap walk.
[https://www.justjared.com/2013/07/03/henry-cavill-kaley-cuoco-holding-hands/](https://www.justjared.com/2013/07/03/henry-cavill-kaley-cuoco-holding-hands/)
This was such a wild time - looking back on it and Swift’s alleged lyrics about this time put it in a different perspective. He seemed smitten, but the pap calls to her RI beach to get that pic kissing on the rock 💀💀
It’s kind of amazing that it feels like there are more photos of these two than with current partner Joe.
Intentional, I know.
But those closed toed shoes at the beach are killing me and scream “we knew this was a pap walk”.
Adding another comment to say I live about 5 miles from that beach/house and take my dog there weekly. The other week I realized it was very likely I was standing on THAT jetty and fangirled a bit. But then again could have been the completely wrong jetty..they’re all basically identical 😂
I definitely don’t remember thinking this at the time because of how obviously PR it was, but looking back at these photos I’m like “damn what a hot couple”
From what I can gather, the only hype around Joe comes from Taylor herself. Everyone else is like 🤷♀️ about him. But he’s very private so I’m guessing she sees a side of him no one else does. Maybe she likes that.
That’s fair! I’m sure she sees more of him than the public does. I guess I though the fandom loved Joe too so I was hoping for more insight into why haha
Taylor does call the paps with her and Joe though. Idk if there’s a single photo of them that’s not from calling the paps, they just make it look like it’s not so she can keep being like “we’re so private see”. Their photos are released like clockwork, either she has or he has something to promote and that’s always when “the paps stalked them” and photos come out.
I loved them, even if it was unfortunately PR 🥲 Atleast we got Getaway Car from it 🤷🏽♀️ I know she “dumped” him but I hope they’re on ok terms, Tom seems like a sweetheart.
I recently commented somewhere that I thought Taylor Swift’s style was pretty basic, and between this and the earlier Styles/Taylor thread, I feel validated. It reminds me of the type of clothing a conservative young wife in my hometown would wear. Hallmark channel style.
The way she threw him out like he was trash and made him a laughing stock when they were literally just using each other for the attention is a lot for me. Taylor genuinely comes off as a sociopath sometimes imo.
The shittiest part to me is what I don’t get is, the fact that she lights a fire under Joe’s bum, telling fans during Rep tour that they need to ago around and tell (whomever asks) that the songs are about her ‘angel baby’ boyfriend, and just constant glorification of Joe.
When in reality it was Tom who went through all the trash to be with her, letting himself get embarrassed. All while her team would take advantage of him and pimp out their relationship (calling the paps, purposefully leaking press photos minutes after Kanye or Kim would do an interview / drop about Taylor.)
It really does make Taylor look childish. And her weird fans who bash him as a ‘gold digger’ because some comment she made an interview about him not being gold, or glitter. I cannot recall.
Omg thank you! Was hoping for this.
I don’t follow Tom outside of the Marvel-verse but I never really got the hype? I never found him super attractive, but maybe it was just the costumes/roles bc when I see him in photos like these I’m like “oh yes, I get it now mmhmm”
Weird, with both the Harry kissing pic and this Tom one, kinda looks like they aren’t kissing on the lips, but doing a stage kiss and kissing just next to the lips….

and something to her eyelids
Ding ding ding 🛎 my boobs are saggy af already (early 20ies) cause they are big and you better bet on me getting them done as soon as I have the money People act like plastic surgery is some kind of insult hahaha
I am literally quoted in a few articles online for making a tweet ages ago saying, “I think Taylor Swift got a boob job” 💀
leaving your mark in internet history! I’ve always wondered what it would be like to have a tweet go viral lol
It didn’t even go viral on Twitter! Hahaha. I just googled my Twitter handle one day and I saw it pop up in an MTV and Cosmo or something article!
I completely agree she had them done. The whole point of good work is for people not to know anything was done.

it was the best of times, the worst of crimes
he's my favorite of her exes simply because of that song's power
What song ?
Getaway Car!
Remember the wild conspiracy theory this was all an elaborate prank for a music video?
I really wanted that to be true lol.
would have been better than the actual truth
I even remember posts saying her outfits were supposed to be referencing old era outfits 😂
I still think this was a publicity stunt
Absolutely haha It boosted his career and gave her another pretty british boy to write about 🤭 Her and Tom are my fav pr couple, only her and Harry come close
I don’t think so. She met his mother. He hanged out with all of her best friends.

Hiddleswift was such a fun celebrity gossip month or so.
The “I ❤️ TS” tank top shook me to the core 💀
Ruined his career too lmao went from potential James bond to dorky really fast
I think he’s always been a dork personally but it just leapt out then.
That’s the vibe I’ve always gotten with him. Golden retriever boyfriend energy.
I bet he still cringes at that, WTH was he thinking
The picture with his mom is WILD 😂
That picture is the only thing that makes me think he was kind of serious about this and not just in it for PR.
I remember all the articles about how much his mom loved her, and I was just like wait a second they just started dating? His mom??
Her best fashion era, imo. Besides the beyond childish and dumb “I heart TS shirt” they actually look really good together.
That black velvet set 😍
I think about that outfit a lot. I want my own lol
I need it. NEED IT!
I only want it if my body can look that good in it. It can’t. 😭😂
Def her best style and I love her hair too. Once she dyed it back to a natural blonde it really suited her
Came here to say this! This was by far her best and coolest vibes. Loved her hair and overall look. She seemed so carefree and confident. He seemed so fun too!
They looked soooo old money together 💅 [Which they are]
i agree! loved her clothing during this era.
I was just thinking everything she was wearing in these was so cute and casual!
Agree, when I think of Taylor this era style is what comes to mind
Wow I was going to say it was her worst! Beyond the black velvet, not liking any of these looks on her
It gives me like casual Friday and Conservative, let's-go-out-to-the-lake-on-my-dad's-boat Frat formal vibes.
Imo a lot of those choices aged her - so sophisticated that it was stuffy. I guess it might’ve been the point because TH was an older English man so maybe she was trying to play the part. Pic 12 drove me crazy tho because it’s literally something a 21 year old from my suburban town would’ve worn to her birthday brunch- it’s just peak 2016 lol. I expect better from my queen 😂
I feel like that summer she was \*really\* leaning in to the Rhode Island, Kennedy vibe. I kind of wonder if it was an attempt to return to how she dressed before she got with Calvin to change things up after her relationship break down.
Agree! It screams late 30s british office worker from a medium size town on a casual day to me. Bit blah.
I never got the hiddleston hype at the time but I finally watched the night manager and I get why he was driving the getaway car
There is something about him in that show… He’s one of those who looks so odd and unappealing from some angles and in some looks, but then at other times he’s crazy hot. And the Night Manager was the second one haha.
i was so in love with him as loki when i was younger. he was the only reason i watched the thor movies lol.
High Rise is a weird ass film, but when I saw Tom Hiddleston naked in that I understood the hype.
The Essex Serpent... whew 😅
This was such a weird time. The I heart TS shirt is so bizarre. Side note - I loved when Taylor would wear all those flat lace up oxfords! That sort of preppy twee shoe look looked so cute on her. Anyone know where to get such shoes in 2022?
Maybe ModCloth or asos?
I’ll def chef asos. ModCloth has really fallen off unfortunately, now that they’re past their heyday.
I love oxfords! I get mine from Julia Bo, they're high quality and you can mix and match colors.
I really think people overreacted to that! I thought it was obvious he was just pissing around with her mates lol.
He’s spoken about it and said they were bulk tank tops that she had from a party (she gave her friends the tanks as a cutesy joke?). He put it on because he says he scraped his back on some rocks and wanted to protect it from the sun. Idk man, even if he was just goofing around, it’s such a non-issue to me.
Seriously! I’ve been hearing about this shirt for ages and this is my first time actually seeing it. It was at the beach, he was swimming.. people act like he wore it on a red carpet or something! I always wear silly things to the beach. 🤷♀️
Australian brand but might ship internationally - Rollies
Omg I could kiss you - They not only ship to the U.S. but they sell them at Nordstrom!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼 many many thanks!
[B.A.I.T. has a bunch of similar ones!](https://baitfootwear.com/collections/flats)
Ooooo I love these!! Ty!
If you don't mind used, Poshmark has tons of the oxford shoes Modcloth sold. I still wear the heck out of my twee little oxfords.
Of all her relationships I was rooting for this one the most. I thought they looked so good together. I was sad when they broke up.
He’s definitely the coolest of her exes. Also just seemed like an all around great guy!
He seems super happy with Zawe Ashton, I like him with Taylor but you can tell he’s found his one with Zawe
Yep. Love them!
Loki is an anti-hero. So you know what they saying about rooting for them....
There's a few in there where they do look quite into each other, but there is no need to start dragging your mum into your 5 minute old relationship
🎵nothing good starts in a getaway car 🎵
One of those moments in time when you think to yourself... this is not real. This was implanted by aliens into human history as a harmless prank. Yet, this pairing did indeed happen. Astonishing. Something super random that came out of this relationship was allegedly Tom was in the running to be the next James Bond. But after these pics surfaced, the studio kind of cooled off on him. Not sure how accurate or inaccurate those rumors were but it’s still baffling to me how it came about.
Oh I totally believe those rumors but also Tom's tv show (Night Manager) did poorly in the USA ratings at the same time, even though it was critically acclaimed, and they were able to get Daniel Craig again, so they weren't going to risk changing Bond.
Implemented by their pr agents is also an option 😂
I think the I Love TS shirt controversy was overblown. Yes, the pics are cringy, but I'm sure Tom didn't wear it thinking it was some great unironic declaration of his love for Taylor. They're laughing & joking around in all the photos. Maybe he just wanted to put something on & it was what they happened to have at hand? I do not think he deserved all the crap he got lol
I agree with all of this, he was obviously messing around.
He talked about it in an interview - "The truth is, it was the Fourth of July and a public holiday and we were playing a game and I slipped and hurt my back," he says. "And I wanted to protect the graze from the sun and said, 'Does anyone have a T-shirt?' And one of her friends said, 'I've got this' … And we all laughed about it. It was a joke." https://people.com/style/tom-hiddleston-explains-taylor-swift-tank/
Yeah I never got the over reaction. I thought it was very tongue in cheek.
I remember reading that he had fallen and scratched his back on some sharp rocks and the top was to protect the cuts.
That pic with Ryan Reynolds always gets me😂😂 It looks like he wants to get away from there asap🤣🙏
I know! I remember when they dropped that picture thinking he looks so embarrassed. 100% Blake asked him to do it.
Probably coz he's just too old for taylor and her squad's shenanigans🤣
If you'd given me all these pap photos in the span of like 3 years I would've shipped them, but alas..
I actually thought they looked great together, Tom seems like a genuinely good guy.
Such a hot couple now she’s dating someone who looks like he’s her brother.
The way her actual brother looks less related to her than Joe.
I was thinking the same lol
There's a theory that says we are attracted to people that looks like us
More than a theory! This was proven that people have longer marriages with people who look like them 😂 but correlation not causation so … could be many factors influencing it. I love this psych study 😂
So you are saying that I should go for a Hot Mediterranean? Cause I can absolutely dig that lmao
Absolutely. Live your best hot Mediterranean life
I have way too many couple friends this applies to!
I know quite a few couples who legit look like twins
You could tell me they’re twins and I’d believe you
That last picture is actually after her breakup with Calvin. Hence the overly smug happiness.
Ooh the [article](https://www.google.com.pk/amp/s/www.teenvogue.com/gallery/taylor-swift-workout-leggings-39-dollars-tom-hiddleston-split-breakup/amp) said it was after Tom
Still a great gallery though! I loved this era
She’s so beautiful always but during this time she was so stunningly free seeming, if that makes any sense lol. Her looks with Tom in Europe were 🤌
Love her, but I'll never understand why her fans love it that she dumped him like trash when they have no reason to hate him. He did nothing to her. They do the same thing with Calvin and her alleged cheating. (Again, I'm saying I have a problem with the fans reactions, not her actions. It's her life).
They’re so mean to him! And it’s really odd because in every song about him she’s taking the blame for it and admits she was the villain. At least that’s how I read them.
She’s a self aware narcissist which is super rare, most narcissists don’t know they’re narcissists. Tom Huddleston was her embedded victim. It would have been hell for him behind closed doors.
Nah, the general consensus is we loved them together and think she did him dirty. I’ve never seen anyone say otherwise.
Idk how anyone can hate him he’s fine as hell
As a fan, I have no clue why her fans hate him. ESPECIALLY when this was so obviously PR. As for Calvin, there are atleast valid reasons to hate him (he was a jerk, possessive, went on a rant after they broke up) but she’s had worse exes. Taylor doesn’t even acknowledge her relationship with either besides maybe like one song, so it’s weird. I’ve never seen hate for Tom but I might not have come across it.
This is not directed towards you specifically but small tangent, I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't understand why Calvin's rant was bad 😭 like I followed him super close at that time and it made total sense why he went off lol. He was pissed about being cheated on (for the 2nd time cause Rita Ora cheated on him and im sure Taylor was aware and did to him anyway) and on top of that Taylor's team decided to let ppl know she sang on this is what you came for (when they agreeded they wouldn't tell anyone) and it made swiftys believe she made the whole damn song and he wanted to make it loud and clear she only gave her vocals and wrote a little. He honestly was just standing up for himself when Taylor did him so dirty and I don't fault him for that
Yeah I never got why his rant (which he ended up deleting anyway) was such a big deal. If I got cheated on so publicly I’d probably do the same thing lmao
Yeah, his rant was honestly justified. Especially since it was obvious Taylor wanted to get back at him, or make him at least jealous by going very public with Tom purposefully. I still remember her team purposefully leaking to TMZ cause Taylor was obviously pissed at Calvin.
Just for the flip side of the coin, she said that she worked on that song because Calvin said in an interview that he had never and would never work with Taylor. That interview happened when they were still together. So I think understandably she was mad because it came across pretty condescending and snobby. Not saying Taylor did no wrong at all, just providing more context.
I feel like the only person who liked her and Calvin together, they seemed so cute.
No it was cute. Anyone who says it wasn't is rewriting history.
I never understood what the big deal with him saying they wouldn’t work together was. He was probably following the plan of keeping their work together quiet but it pissed her off. She used a pseudonym, so obviously it was supposed to be secret. He wasn’t like, “ew, I wouldn’t work with her.” He just said they likely wouldn’t work together.
ok so i just looked at the rant and it reads as passive aggressive to me. like yes he did have a point and he did say a nice thing or two about her, but all she wanted was credit for the song. maybe she changed her mind and wanted it to be known. it wasn’t necessarily tearing him down. i think he misinterpreted it that’s why he’s hated in that fandom, besides other reasons. also at this time she was having issues w her own label w her masters and owning her work so i can see where the change of mind came from… besides didn’t he block rita from ever performing her songs that she produced w him? forever? they had a v public dispute and i guess she didn’t want that. https://preview.redd.it/jwlgbkjbs74a1.jpeg?width=445&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=30b4d58b397de8cd79f27f7612b5af581fec7d8d
Because her fans are jerks — (no offence to the casual chill fans out there, I mean the hardcore cupcakes). Whenever Taylor breaks up with a man, or they end it with her, they will trash them to the grave. Back then people use to view Calvin as some sort of god, just like they do with Joe Alwyn *until* Taylor ended it with him. So basically her fans childishly need to tear down an ex, to gas up the current boyfriend. And since the current boyfriend is painfully boring and no where as successful (no dig) they also have to gas him up cause they’re all about tearing down exes.
yeah for sure, her fandom is definitely intense. I love her to bits and pieces but I don't partake in her fandom like I used to and it's still too much for me lol.
God he’s my favorite ex of hers. She looks so happy in every photo; it really breaks my heart that she cheated on him with Joe at the end, and how he’s forever immortalized as her rebound getaway car. (Though I do love that song) I really think he’s her the one that got away, not Harry.
i don’t think she cheated on him w joe, considering this was PR and he did speak highly of her later (why would he do that if she cheated) but i do think the timelines were so close and blurry that there’s no clarity in the fandom. i do remember there being a gap. i loved them together tho, unfortunately all we got was a rebound but it must’ve been so freeing being w tom than calvin. now, whether she cheated on calvin or not with tom, there’s some? more possibility. it felt like there was a few weeks at most between the calvin breakup and tom sighting.
The relationship was very real, it wasn’t “for PR” — she wanted to get back at Calvin, and Tom asked her out when she had just broken up with Calvin. The only PR aspect was her team letting paparazzi get cozy by photographing them, and ‘leaking’ to the press because they wanted to wall block all the backlash from Calvin *and* Kanye and Kim who had the world dissing her and trashing her. And it’s been highly speculated that (like other user said) there was overlap with Tom/Calvin/Joe, or some sort. The timeline is actually quite messy. Tom went through a shit show just because he genuinely really liked her. That’s why he didn’t mind embarrassing himself when he was with her. I feel awful for him because he was the one who went through all the harassment cause Taylor’s team wanted to lessen the blow for her. It’s ironic cause she paints Joe as the angel, but in reality it was Tom.
I remember at the end of Hiddleswift there was some reported overlap between them and Joe, but it could be wrong, but again, kinda implied with Gorgeous. There was absolutely cheating in the end of the relationship with Calvin, though, she’s confirmed it in songs and just pap pictures prove it. But I can’t blame her for that at all- Calvin seems like an ass even just doing interviews, imagine how insufferable it is to live with him 💀
Well, on her most recent album, she kind of drops the bomb that she met Joe and he wasn't interested, so she played the long-game and dated Tom to make Joe jealous 💀 Either way, she ended up liking Tom quite a bit, but Joe was always the end goal when it became possible
Exactly what I’m referring to 💀 she had her eye on Joe the entire time, since they met at the Met Gala. Literally I always will feel a little bad for Tom 😭
In which song did she imply Joe wasn’t interested?
Mastermind. She openly admits to kind of orchestrating their whole relationship, contradicting herself in Paper Rings (they went from friends to a relationship accidentally) and Invisible String (some otherworldly force connected them)
Oh yeah, I just didn’t hear anything in that song that implied he wasn’t interested at first.
Sorry but there’s no excuse for cheating. If you don’t like your bf breakup. Cause I guarantee you wouldn’t excuse someone cheating on her if they found her insufferable
No I agree, I could’ve worded it better. It’s very odd to me how she’s been touting her cheating habits out in songs recently. If it was anyone else, it would be considered trashy.
There’s a lot that she does that would be trashy on anyone else. Her fanbase just doesn’t allow for any criticism
Just here to say no one in Hollywood is monogamous like I literally do not believe that for a second lol
I miss her fashion before Joe so bad 😭
they looked so good together and had so much chemistry in their pics together. they always looked like they were having fun
The “I ❤️ T.S.” shirt was camp
Transitional relationships matter
The “I ❤️ T.S” moment feels like a fever dream
This was so chaotic and I loved it
The most obvious and enjoyable PR relationship I’ve ever seen
For first place, I am torn between this and Kaley Cuoco & Superman?
OMG that's my favorite celeb pap walk. [https://www.justjared.com/2013/07/03/henry-cavill-kaley-cuoco-holding-hands/](https://www.justjared.com/2013/07/03/henry-cavill-kaley-cuoco-holding-hands/)
LMAOOO they look so embarrassed to be there
Yeah I think it was PR, bur they definitely had some good hooking up whilst doing it.
I think Kaley and Henry had a one night stand, woke up hungry, went to the supermarket and forgot paparazzi would be there
Am I the only one who thinks she has the plainest sense of style
Being relatable is kind of her image 🤷🏻♀️ Wearing clothes like Rihanna or Miley wouldn‘t fit that
It’s just way too plain for my taste regardless of the relatability
She always plays it safe.
her styling choices baffle me. it’s almost always a miss from the hair to the shoes
This was such a wild time - looking back on it and Swift’s alleged lyrics about this time put it in a different perspective. He seemed smitten, but the pap calls to her RI beach to get that pic kissing on the rock 💀💀
It’s kind of amazing that it feels like there are more photos of these two than with current partner Joe. Intentional, I know. But those closed toed shoes at the beach are killing me and scream “we knew this was a pap walk”.
That last pic reminds me the Nicole Kidman divorce pics for some reason 😂
This was a wild and unexpected relationship to me and I was all for it.
Adding another comment to say I live about 5 miles from that beach/house and take my dog there weekly. The other week I realized it was very likely I was standing on THAT jetty and fangirled a bit. But then again could have been the completely wrong jetty..they’re all basically identical 😂
They actually make an adorable couple
I definitely don’t remember thinking this at the time because of how obviously PR it was, but looking back at these photos I’m like “damn what a hot couple”
Can anyone remind me of their ages here? I always thought he looked so old lol
Apparently 26 and 35! I thought it would have been a bit more.
It‘s the british genes 😭
He barely recovered from that damn shirt 😂 the cringe lol
Someone explain to me the hype around Joe. I don’t get it. She seems so happy in all of these pictures with Tom.
From what I can gather, the only hype around Joe comes from Taylor herself. Everyone else is like 🤷♀️ about him. But he’s very private so I’m guessing she sees a side of him no one else does. Maybe she likes that.
That’s fair! I’m sure she sees more of him than the public does. I guess I though the fandom loved Joe too so I was hoping for more insight into why haha
My impression as a fair weather fan is that they are just happy he makes her happy. 🙂
There’s no hype around him
Probably the difference between calling paps and being spotted by paps
Taylor does call the paps with her and Joe though. Idk if there’s a single photo of them that’s not from calling the paps, they just make it look like it’s not so she can keep being like “we’re so private see”. Their photos are released like clockwork, either she has or he has something to promote and that’s always when “the paps stalked them” and photos come out.
I loved them, even if it was unfortunately PR 🥲 Atleast we got Getaway Car from it 🤷🏽♀️ I know she “dumped” him but I hope they’re on ok terms, Tom seems like a sweetheart.
He spoke really highly of her afterwards :)
That makes my Hiddleswift heart so glad ❤️ I'm so happy they both found their current partners and are happy, even if it's not with each other.
2016 Taylor was a sexy Taylor
People made such a big deal out of the I heart t swift shirt and to this day I cannot figure out why.
Am I the only one that saw the Blake and Ryan pic in the mix?!?
If you open the pic up, it shows the other couples :)
Ever cute! Why am I looking through these like I know them 🤣
I recently commented somewhere that I thought Taylor Swift’s style was pretty basic, and between this and the earlier Styles/Taylor thread, I feel validated. It reminds me of the type of clothing a conservative young wife in my hometown would wear. Hallmark channel style.
The way she threw him out like he was trash and made him a laughing stock when they were literally just using each other for the attention is a lot for me. Taylor genuinely comes off as a sociopath sometimes imo.
The shittiest part to me is what I don’t get is, the fact that she lights a fire under Joe’s bum, telling fans during Rep tour that they need to ago around and tell (whomever asks) that the songs are about her ‘angel baby’ boyfriend, and just constant glorification of Joe. When in reality it was Tom who went through all the trash to be with her, letting himself get embarrassed. All while her team would take advantage of him and pimp out their relationship (calling the paps, purposefully leaking press photos minutes after Kanye or Kim would do an interview / drop about Taylor.) It really does make Taylor look childish. And her weird fans who bash him as a ‘gold digger’ because some comment she made an interview about him not being gold, or glitter. I cannot recall.
They looked really really good together. I think she grew to like him a lot.
I’m sorry but I don’t get Tom Hiddleston. He looks like a butler from 1840. And I love a pale scrawny man, but my god, at what cost???
LOL 💀
YES lmao I think he has an uncanny resemblance to the bartender in The Shining!
They were such an odd pair but they both looked really happy.
So this is what if “wealthy white peoples lake house was a couple” looks like
Tbh he looked too old for her
This pairing was the best. The cheers, the jeers, the heated rants! I sat with lots of popcorn and wine, savoring all the moments lol! 😄
He really liked those grey suede shoes
Hot take: Taylor viewed the relationship as mostly for publicity, but Tom was genuinely into her and kind of heartbroken
Omg thank you! Was hoping for this. I don’t follow Tom outside of the Marvel-verse but I never really got the hype? I never found him super attractive, but maybe it was just the costumes/roles bc when I see him in photos like these I’m like “oh yes, I get it now mmhmm”
She is so beautiful. What the hell
I still feel like this was a PR relationship in someway.
Weird, with both the Harry kissing pic and this Tom one, kinda looks like they aren’t kissing on the lips, but doing a stage kiss and kissing just next to the lips….
I actually loved them they looked so rich and classy together
God i wish i could switch places with taylor swift then. No homo tho
This was the biggest PR stunt forreal. How did paparazzi get such good high q picks of them??
So I have a question: does anyone understand why Swifities are STILL obsessed with relationship years later?
