As you’ve no doubt heard by now, Taylor Swift is dating Tom Hiddleston.
Swift and Hiddleston were caught kissing in public just days after news of the singer’s breakup with Calvin Harris went public.
And by “caught kissing,” we mean her publicists alerted the paparazzi that Taylor and Tom would be enjoying a romantic moment on a beach in Rhode Island, and they wouldn’t mind playing dumb for a few “candid” photos.
It was clearly Swift’s way of taking the relationship public without making a formal announcement, which is fine, but we can’t help but wonder – what’s the rush?
In the past, Taylor has quietly dated dudes for several months and let the press speculate all it wants.
With Hiddleston, it’s like she couldn’t share the news fast enough.
The answer, it seems, is that Taylor is more head-over-heels than she’s ever been before, which is saying something, as this is a girl who’s fallen hard many, many times in the past.
“She felt like she was a little school girl with a huge crush,” one insider tells E! News.
“She loves the fact that Tom acts like such a mature man. She lives that he is older. She feels very safe and protected with him. The attraction is very strong.”
Yes, “the one” talk has already begun.
We’d chalk this up to the fact that this is Taylor Swift, and the media seems to think she’s constantly chomping at the bit to get engaged, but in this case, there’s evidence to support the belief that he whole Swiddleston thing is actually moving very, very fast.
Taylor and Tom recently traveled to Nashville together, and according to Hollywood Life, one of the purposes of the trip was for Hiddleston to meet Mama Swift:
“Taylor would love for her mom to meet Tom,” says one insider.
“She’s eager to introduce them to each other. Taylor and her mom are super close, so it’s just a matter of time that the three of them will get to spend time together.
“If Taylor and Tom weren’t serious, she wouldn’t waste her mom’s time.”
We guess it’s not surprising that Taylor is so eager to make this one work.
Nothing really rhymes with “Hiddleston,” so writing a breakup song would be impossible.
