I’ve been following Tom Hiddleston for years, and honestly, it’s a little sad to see how much his past with Taylor Swift still seems to affect him. Their relationship didn’t last long, but you’d think he’d be over it by now. It feels like he can’t quite shake off being known as ‘Taylor Swift’s ex’.
A funny radio interview from August is going viral on social media. In it, the actor was asked about a past relationship while he was talking about his movie, The Life Of Chuck.
Tom and Taylor dated for about three months in 2016. During that time, he was photographed wearing a t-shirt showing his support for Taylor Swift.
During a radio segment, Heart Radio host Dev Griffin playfully compared Tom to Taylor Swift after Tom revealed he enjoys reading online sports updates.
He mentioned that Taylor Swift is really into a particular sourdough bread recipe blog, noting it’s very detailed but understandable why someone would become fascinated with it.
Okay, so Tom was a little surprised when Taylor mentioned something, but then Karen Gillan chimed in – and she was *immediately* thinking it was a clue! She thought it might be a hidden message, maybe even related to the Super Bowl. It was fun to watch them playfully speculate about what Taylor meant!

The interview, originally shared by E! News, sparked a lot of reactions from fans, many of whom described the conversation as awkward and uncomfortable.
Comments included: ‘Karen totally doing Tom a solid gold favour by taking the focus off him;
‘This is so painful to watch… it’s been nine years, do better;’
‘This is funny because he literally has zero reaction to it;’
Good job, Karen! She skillfully steered the conversation away from a sensitive or unwanted topic for Tom. By the way, I’m a Taylor Swift fan, but I also believe in respecting personal boundaries.
People first noticed Tom and Taylor together around mid-June 2015, shortly after Taylor ended her relationship with DJ Calvin Harris.
By the end of the month, Taylor had met her parents in Nashville, and Tom had introduced her to his mother back in England.
That summer, Tom and his partner were inseparable, attracting a lot of media attention. After they broke up, Tom publicly told GQ that their relationship hadn’t been a fake created for publicity, despite rumors to the contrary.


During the event, he wore a tank top with ‘I [heart] T.S.’ on it and had a temporary tattoo of a heart with the letter ‘T’ on his bicep.
Tom faced widespread ridicule because of the tank top he wore, though he later claimed it was just a private joke shared with friends.
He explained that he hurt his back while playing a game on the Fourth of July. It was a public holiday, and he’d slipped and fallen. He then asked if anyone had a T-shirt to cover the scrape he got, wanting to protect it from the sun.
One of Taylor’s friends brought out a tank top with ‘I [heart] T.S.’ on it, and everyone found it funny, Tom explained. He said it was all meant as a joke.
By September 2016, their relationship had ended on good terms, according to a source at People magazine. Soon after that fall, she started a seven-year relationship with Joe Alwyn.
Oh my gosh, you guys, I’m still reeling! Last month, Taylor finally announced she’s engaged to Travis Kelce! Two whole years they’ve been dating, and now they’re getting married! I knew it, I *knew* they were perfect for each other!
Tom and actress Zawe Ashton have been engaged since May 2022, and welcomed their first child five months later.
Oh my gosh, you guys, I nearly lost it when I heard the news in June! They’re having another baby! And it was just *hours* before Zawe showed off her adorable little bump at the London premiere of ‘The Life of Chuck’! I was absolutely screaming – it was the best night ever! I’ve been following them forever, and this is just… everything!
