As you’ve no doubt heard by now, Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston are dating.
News of the relationship went public not through the usual tabloid grapevine, but via a photo of Swift and Hiddleston kissing in public, apparently with no regard for who witnessed the PDA.
Whether or not the kiss was staged or a genuinely candid moment caught on camera remains a matter of debate.
The reveal was a bit surprising as the photo was published just weeks after Swift’s breakup with Calvin Harris, whom she’d dated for over a year.
To say it was a quick rebound for a woman whose made a career out of heartbreak and lost love would be a massive understatement.
The girl didn’t even have enough time to write a scathing chorus, much less the classic Taylor Swift breakup album we were expecting!
It’s one thing to arrange a low-key friends-with-benefits arrangement so soon after a major breakup, but it’s quite another to publicly move on to a new serious relationship, especially for someone as synonymous with the loveliness of love as Ms. Swift.
So what happened?
Well, if a new report from Us Weekly is to be believed, Hiddleston wasted no time swooping in as soon as he found out Taylor was on the market.
Swift and Hiddleston became acquianted at the Met Gala back in May, and the actor was apparently so smitten that he contacted Taylor is soon as he heard she was on the market.
Obviously, she was open to his advances.
“She’s single, so of course if a cute guy reaches out who she likes, she would talk to him,” says one insider.
“There really isn’t a better way to get over a breakup!”
Adds the source: “He’s hot, smart, talented, British – everything she’s into.”
