r/TaylorSwift on Reddit: Can someone explain me the Taylor and Tom Hiddleston relationship please?
May 26, 2021 -

I know this is way too old LOL I've been a fan of Tay since 1989 but back then I wasn't much of a fan as I am now so I didn't pay attention to what happened in 2016. As I wanna become a total Swiftie, all I know is she went through a lot of drama and that's how Rep was born but I tried to make a research on the Taylor and Tom relationship and what I find is actually not helping because I don't know if I should believe what media says, so what's better than hear the story from Taylor's loyal fans?

Can you tell me when they started dating or where did they met? how the heck they got together because I could never imagine them being a couple LOL feels weird though I love them both and which Taylor's songs talk about him (all I know is Getaway Car) Did she met him during the 1989 tour or later? was she with Calvin yet? how long were they together and why did they split?

Edit: Thanks so much to all of you. You're helping me a lot and now I understand a lot of things better so any info you can share, bring it on! It helps me.

They met at the Met Gala and danced while she was still with Calvin(he didn't go for some reason). Calvin and her publicly split later that month and she was pictured with Tom the following week. They had their worldwide and very public romance that lasted for a few months - personally I think she was so public because she wanted to get back at Calvin. She started up Joe(and possibly left Tom for him) right after they split. Getaway Car is the only song that is blatantly about the situation, but there's small other details in other songs.

Tom did speak about it in an interview once with GQ. I've always been uncomfortable with some of interviewer's treatment of him, and her editorial remarks in the article (including about Taylor), but Tom himself was nothing but courteous about her. the media glare took a bad toll. I think the media's treatment of them in particular is also a huge part of the reason Taylor was terrified they'd also ruin things with Joe, and why she's worked so hard to keep their relationship out of the spotlight. they deserve every bit of their privacy and happiness, but there's some lingering trauma for her too imho, which she's shared in certain lyrics and it's sadly understandable she would feel that. ""Taylor is an amazing woman. She’s generous and kind and lovely, and we had the best time.” But I didn’t ask that, I say. I asked something else. So I wait, and he says, “Of course it was real.” I ask if he wants to say anything about Australia, about the Fourth of July party at which he donned that fateful tank top, about the rumors that she thought he was too eager. Does he want to say anything about any of it? And here he puts down his fork, a bite of my steak still on it. He looks off into the middle distance, and here is what he says: “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. 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.’ ” The friend pulled out the "I ♥ T.S." tank top that Taylor’s friends are contractually obligated to own. “And we all laughed about it. It was a joke.” So that’s his statement on the entire relationship: an explanation of the tank top. “It was a joke,” he repeats. “Among friends.” I can vouch for this depiction of Tom Hiddleston. He is definitely, without a doubt, someone who would put on an "I ♥ T.S." tank top, both to protect a scratch from sun damage and to make his new friends laugh while th—wait, sorry, he’s still talking: “I have to be so psychologically strong about not letting other people’s interpretations about my life affect my life. A relationship exists between two people. We will always know what it was. The narratives that are out there altogether have been extrapolated from pictures that were taken without consent or permission, with no context. Nobody had the context for that story. And I’m still trying to work out a way of having a personal life and protecting it, but also without hiding. So the hardest thing is that that was a joke among friends on the Fourth of July.” He still isn’t looking at me. The last piece of my steak is now poised on his fork in mid-air. He is so sad, and I can’t take it anymore, so I put my hand on his and I say, “Tom, Tom, it’s okay. You don’t have to talk about the tank top anymore. I got it. I understand. I’ll tell the world.” But he can’t stop talking about it. He literally cannot stop talking about it. “I don’t know,” he says. “I just, I was surprised. I was just surprised that it got so much attention. The tank top became an emblem of this thing.” It’s hard to tell me this, he says. He wants to trust me. He wants to trust that the world won’t use this to embarrass him again, but he doesn’t know. He just knows it will follow him until he talks about it. And anyway, none of this has anything to do with the person he fell in love with. “I only know the woman I met. She’s incredible.” But, man, all those cameras. “A relationship in the limelight… A relationship always takes work. A relationship in the limelight takes work. And it’s not just the limelight. It’s everything else.”"
