Taylor Swift has been known for her successful music career, but the public also always has their eyes on her relationships. Whether that is her current one with Joe Alwyn or her past one with Harry Styles, it is always talked about. One relationship that shocked fans was when she and actor Tom Hiddleston dated back in 2016. Although the relationship only lasted for three months, there were a lot of layers to it and their breakup.
Taylor Swift And Tom Hiddleston Dated In 2016
The two were first spotted together in May 2016, at the Met Gala. At the time Swift was still dating Calvin Harris but at the beginning of the summer, Swift and Harris ended their fifteen-month relationship. It was supposedly a mutual split. This breakup was surprising to fans but even more shocking was when Swift and Hiddleston started dating that summer.
During the time they were dating, Swift was going through a lot of negative press pertaining to her feud with Kanye West. A source told E! News that "Tom is not annoyed by the negative media attached to Taylor...he knew that would come with the course of dating her."
Swift and Hiddleston were spotted together multiple times, once near her Rhode Island mansion and at a Selena Gomez concert. Hiddleston also met Swift's parents.
The relationship seemed to be going well, and they were spotted together multiple times. When news broke the two broke up, fans were really curious as to why. With all the negativity going on with Swift's feud, it would make sense that she wanted to keep her relationship private. Swift did not want to attend the Emmys with Hiddleston in hopes of keeping their relationship as private as they could. While it is not clear if this is exactly the reason the two broke up, it certainly put a dent in the relationship and after three months of being together, the two split officially.
Did Taylor Swift Sing About Tom Hiddleston?
The breakup between Swift and Hiddleston was widely talked about. A year after their breakup, Swift released her sixth studio album, Reputation. This album was the ultimate comeback for Swift. Of course, fans wondered if Swift would mention Hiddleston in any of the new songs on the album. In the past, Swift has called exes out by their names in songs. While she didn't do that on Reputation, fans had their theories about which songs could be about her relationship with Hiddleston.
There were rumors flying around that Hiddleston's relationship with Swift actually cost him a huge movie role. The role was to take over for Daniel Craig in the Bond movies. But it was reported that due to his relationship with Swift being so public, he didn't have the "air of mystery" needed for the role of James Bond.
This rumor has not truly been confirmed or denied, but Hiddleston did say that he was not offered the role of James Bond. So whether Swift played a part in Hiddleston's getting a role or not is completely unclear. What is clear is that the two had a rollercoaster of a relationship and breakup.
Are Taylor And Tom On Good Terms Today?
There is no proof that Swift and Hiddleston have any sort of friendship. It is quite likely they do not speak at all. The two are at wonderful places in their lives separately, both career and relationship-wise. Tom Hiddleston is engaged to actress, Zawe Ashton and the two are expecting their first child together. The two starred in the 2019 Broadway play, Betrayal, together. When rumors started to fly around that the two were together in 2019, Hiddleston said, “I’m protective about my internal world now in probably a different way.”
Taylor Swift has been in a relationship with actor, Joe Alwyn, since 2016. The two have kept their relationships extremely private. It was not until recently that the two first really started to talk about one another in public. Swift revealed that Alwyn actually helped her write some songs on her album, Folklore.
There have been rumors flying around that Swift and Alwyn are engaged but nothing has been confirmed by the two. Although Swift and Hiddleston had a rocky past, it seems the two have found their right matches and all their drama is now long forgotten.
