That Was Hiddleswift: Multiple Sources Say Tom & Taylor Have Lo-Ki Split

LOVE IS DEAD. One love, anyway: Hiddleswift have ended it.

Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston haven’t been photographed together in over a month, or so the gossip mags (People) tell us. Rumours of their dwindling love flame have been circulating for a while, but now it appears to be legit.

“It was an amicable split,” a source told People, which is what they always say.

The true reasons for the break-up are wild and unconfirmed, with literally a ‘he said / she said’ situation playing out all over the tabloids. It’s also important to note that neither party has yet confirmed the split.

THEORY 1: Taylor broke up with Tom because he was riding off her fame coattails. (x 2)

“She was the one to put the brakes on the relationship,” a source close to the couple told Us Weekly. “Tom wanted the relationship to be more public than she was comfortable with. Taylor knew the backlash that comes with public displays of affection but Tom didn’t listen to her concerns when she brought them up.”

“Tom wants their relationship to be public, even asking Taylor to go to the Emmys with him, but Taylor wants to keep her private life private,” an insider told The Sun. “Tom’s need for their relationship to be so public so quickly makes her uncomfortable.”

THEORY 2: Tom broke up with Taylor because he thought the whole thing was just for publicity.

“Tom can’t deal with being a laughing stock and has told Taylor he’s done unless there’s a 360-degree change on her part,” a source close to Tom told Radar. “It’s become a total charade and Tom is sick of being treated like a glorified escort.”

“Tom is just done with it. It bothers him so much that they’ve become known as this fauxmance laughing stock.”

While we sympathise with forging a relationship in the very public eye, and with dealing with the pressure of combined attacks from an ex (Calvin Harris) and Hollywood’s #1 power couple (Kanye West & Kim Kardashian), Tom was kind of setting himself up for being a laughing stock every since he donned an ‘I heart T.S.’ t-shirt at her 4th of July party.


RIP.
