Taylor Swift

by

It's finally happened – Tom Hiddleston has broken his silence on the romance which has captivated the world since it all kicked off a few weeks ago.

While the romantics among us have enjoyed watching Taylor Swift fall head over heels for Tom Hiddleston, the cynics among us have enjoyed pouring scorn on the budding new romance at every opportunity.

From the not-so-candid beach shots to the 'I Heart TS' vest, the whirlwind relationship has been a little much for many of us to bear, and it looks like Mr. Hiddleston has decided it's time to address the critics.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, the Thor actor confirmed that his romance with Tay was as real as it gets, saying: "The truth is that Taylor Swift and I are together and we're very happy,"

Responding to the countless suggestions that Tom had been caught up in the now infamous Taylor Swift publicity machine, the British star dismissed them unequivocally.

"That's the truth," he insisted. "It's not a publicity stunt."

With Taylor's former bae, Calvin Harris, having this week called Taylor out on her feud with Katy Perry as well as her decision to leak news she had written one of his tracks, Tom may have thought his girlfriend really needed a win this week.

So that's it then, it's NOT a publicity stunt…

In a newly released clip from the upcoming episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Kim explains to Kourtney why she spilled the beans on TayTay in last month’s interview with GQ magazine.

In the explosive article, Kim slammed the pop star for denying having prior knowledge that Kanye West would mention her in his song Famous before its February release.

And in the new E! clip, Kim defends her decision to expose Taylor.  She says: “I never talk sh*it about anyone publicly, especially in interviews.  But I was just like I have so had it.”

"I just felt like I wanted to defend him in it because it's like, [Taylor] legitimately quote says, ‘As soon as I get on that Grammy red carpet I'm gonna tell all the press. Like I was in on it.'"

Kourtney then suggests that Taylor was unhappy with the reaction the song’s references to her received – which included Kanye claiming he made Taylor famous and suggesting that he “might still have sex” with the star.

Kim continues the controversial conversation with her sister by saying Taylor’s response was “just another way to play the victim” as doing so “definitely got her a lot of attention the first time” – a direct reference to the near historic moment Kanye interrupted Taylor’s VMA acceptance speech in support on Beyoncé's Single Ladies video.

In a cut away, Kim then tells the camera: "I feel like I've had it with people blatantly treating my husband a certain way, making him look a certain way.”

 

 

"Kanye is always so honest and speaks his mind.  And you know, when we were first dating, people would always talk sh*t and he always had my back.”

“At this point, I really don't give a f*ck so I'll do whatever to protect my husband."

The extract finishes with Kourtney praising Kim for speaking out, to which Kim responds: “Yeah, I’m just speaking the truth.”

While we’d love to hear what Taylor has to say about Kim’s claims, we’re thinking it could be a while before she speaks up as she has yet to respond to her ex Calvin Harris’ latest Twitter revelations and Katy Perry’s reaction to the Calvin V Hiddleswift situation.

We can't believe how long this Taylor-Calvin saga is going on for. It has to be one of the most explosive break-ups in Hollywood history, and just when you think it's going to calm down, it blows right back up again.

The singer has divided the Internet (and practically the world), and now many people are taking sides in this who-will-come-out-on-top battle.

Calvin Harris went on an explosive rant on Twitter yesterday, calling Taylor's team out for making him look bad. THEN Katy Perry joined in and our minds were blown.

Many celebs have taken sides, as well as… Jedward. The twins took to Twitter to tell their fans that they think Tay is ah-mazing and nobody should believe what's being said about her in the media:

Jedward met Taylor back in 2011 during her Dublin gig, and we'd say they still have a little soft spot for her.

It’s only been few hours since Calvin Harris launched a stream of Twitter abuse at his ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift and already singer Katy Perry has come up with the perfect response to the increasingly complicated situation.

While clarifying that Taylor did play an important part in the creation of This Is What You Came For, Calvin managed to have a sly dig at Hiddleswift and potentially re-ignite Taylor’s feud with Katy Perry.

It’s long been suspected that Roar singer Katy and the controversial Miss Swift don’t see eye to eye, but last year Taylor basically confirmed it when she revealed Bad Blood was inspired by a female artist who had stabbed her in the back.

And now Calvin has added major fuel to that fire by tweeting: “I know you're off tour and you need someone new to try and bury like Katy ETC but I'm not that guy, sorry. I won't allow it.”

In a pretty smooth move Katy has since posted a caption-free gif which shows presidential candidate Hilary Clinton raising her eyebrows and shrugging her shoulders in what looks like amusement.

And on top of that, the star has retweeted her own tweet from May last year which says: "Time, the ultimate truth teller."

Oh, it is on!

Calvin Harris has taken to Twitter to confirm that his ex Taylor Swift did in fact play a part in the production of This Is What You Came for which he released with Rihanna earlier this year and the superstar DJ even managed to take a tidy shot at Hiddleswift while he was at it.

Today TMZ reported that back when Talvin was a thing the pair came up with the tune and recorded a demo of it on TayTay’s phone but later decided not to release it together, hence why Rihanna eventually appeared on the track.

And while Taylor was originally named as a co-writer in the credits, her name was later changed to Nils Sjoberg which is apparently her pseudonym.

With reports circulating that the song is what came between the couple and eventually propelled Taylor into the arms of Tom Hiddleston, Calvin has stepped up to put the record straight.

In a series of new tweets the Scottish DJ admits Taylor did play a role in the creation of the song and calls her an “amazing lyric writer” (sweet) before calling out Taylor’s team for trying to make him look bad with the story.

He wrote: “She sings on a little bit of it too…Amazing lyric writer and she smashed it as usual.”

“I wrote the music, produced the song, arranged it and cut the vocals though.  And initially she wanted it kept secret, hence the pseudonym.”

“Hurtful to me at this point that her and her team would go so far out of their way to try and make ME look bad at this stage though.”

Things then got real juicy when Calvin attacked the seemingly unbreakable Hiddleswift by tweeting: “I figure if you're happy in your new relationship you should focus on that instead of trying to tear your ex bf down for something to do.”

“I know you're off tour and you need someone new to try and bury like Katy ETC but I'm not that guy, sorry. I won't allow it.”  Oh, Calvin!

“Please focus on the positive aspects of YOUR life because you've earned a great one.”

“God bless everyone have a beautiful day.”

He finished the Twitter tirade with a link to the song in question in which he tagged Rihanna, not Taylor.

We think we need a little lie down after that.

They have denied rumours in the past, but now it has surfaced that Taylor Swift was the brains behind This Is What You Came For.

The track by Calvin Harris and Rihanna originally named Taylor as a co-writer, but the credit list later changed her name to Nils Sjoberg, which is believed to be Ms Swift's pseudonym.

However, now TMZ is reporting that is was the song that had Taylor and Calvin at "breaking point."

 

Biggest video in the world right now!!! 36m views in 5 days!!!!! Thank you so much @badgalriri

According to the site, while Tay Tay and Calvin were still dating, she came up with the song and did a demo on her phone.

Then after forwarding it to Calvin, the couple hit the studio and did a full demo with Taylor singing and Calvin on the beat. They later realised if they released it together, it would be more about them and not about the track.

 

This is what you came for. @gigihadid @lilyaldridge

So in the end, Calvin recorded it with Rihanna. However, on the day of the release, Calvin was interviewed by Ryan Seacrest, and when asked if he'd ever record with his then-girlfriend, Calvin said: "You know we haven't even spoken about it. I can't see it happening though."

TMZ claims that this was the "breaking point in the relationship," and that "Taylor was hurt and felt Calvin took it too far."

It was just days afterwards that Taylor was spotted dancing the night away with Tom Hiddleston at the Met Gala.

The website also alleges that Taylor's squad want to reveal the truth behind the track because "they're sick of Calvin trashing Taylor and feel he should be thanking her for quietly giving him a smash hit."

Nobody seemed to notice over the past few weeks that Taylor's boobs seem slightly larger than usual. A good bra or a good boob job?

Well, like a few fans on social media, Ariel Winter seems to think it's a boob job and is all for the singer getting them done.

The Modern Family star, who went under the knife herself last year for breast reduction surgery, has publicly spoken out about body shaming.

She told The Talk: "It took me a while to accept myself and I just hope that girls can learn to accept themselves however big or small their breasts are.

"And I have to say if Taylor Swift did get her boobs done then good for her if she felt like she wanted to.

Ariel also commented on her recent liking to tattoos and how no matter what she gets inked or where she gets it, she's shamed for it.

 

A photo posted by Ariel Winter (@arielwinter) on

"Everytime I post about getting a tattoo every single person has something to say about it – 'you should be getting tattoos, you're ruining your body, you're destroying yourself even more, I thought you were pretty and a nice person, you're just trash'."

I think we can all learn from Ariel and just be happy with our bodies and ourselves. Be who YOU want to be.

To some, Taylor Swift is nothing short of a modern-day goddess; an all-American girl with a heart of gold and a back catalogue of pop stompers.

To others, she’s an astute businesswoman; adept at manipulating the media, a pro at orchestrating picture-perfect moments which ultimately reinforce the wholesome image she worked so hard to create when she politely tiptoed onto the music scene in 2006.

To me, she’s akin to a tooth ache.

Not the type that leaves you writhing in agony and begging for pain relief, but the other one.

The one you describe as a ‘dull ache’ which you purposely – and here’s the clincher – make worse by continuously prodding with your own damn tongue.

‘Trying to see if it’s any better,” you sheepishly explain to anyone who catches you moments after you lamented being struck down by this oral catastrophe.

In much the same way you wait for a particular colleague to make the noise you hate simply so you can grit your teeth and roll your eyes, many of us reluctantly keep abreast of developments in Taylor’s life just so we can do the same.

But what is it about this Grammy Award-winner that rubs so many of us up the wrong way? And why do we find ourselves so put out by her lifestyle, love life and the tracks ultimately born of them?

Is it because she’s dated numerous men over the course of her 20s? Hardly. It’s only the very fortunate among us that go through life without kissing our own frogs, so that’s not it.

Is it because she makes music which you mumble helplessly along to on the morning commute? By that token, we should consider everyone in the charts a serious pain in the arse, and the thing is, we don’t.

Or is it because she’s part of a ‘squad’ made up of the most beautiful and – some might say – privileged young women of our generation? Yes, but that’s definitely not all.

Whether it’s her lovers, her lyrics or her ladies, everything in T-Swizzle’s life is too contrived for most of us to stomach.

From her cat-lady persona and adorkable Instagram to her rollercoaster romances and sisterhood of the travelling bants, many of us just don’t believe the 26-year-old popstar anymore.

Are we being had? Is she actually as sweet and sisterly as she wants us to think? Is she really just a small-town girl who graduated from cowgirl boots to crowded arenas?

No, of course not, and over the course of the last 18 months, many of us are starting to feel duped.

With her squad waxing lyrical about her prowess as a total BFF online, and her current boyfriend wearing an ‘I Heart TS’ vest in public, people no longer feel like they’re being given a snapshot into a celebrity’s life, but are, instead, pulling up a reluctant front-row seat to The Taylor Swift Show.

But here’s the thing – contrived or not, there’s no doubt it makes for compelling viewing. And whether you love or loathe her, you are – like millions other – watching.

No longer just a guilty pleasure on your iPod, Taylor – and the world she has created for herself – is, for so many of us, the latest guilty pleasure to have found its way into our magazines, newspapers and social media feeds.

And like many of life’s guilty pleasures, it can give you a toothache.

Taylor Swift’s romantic endeavours may be dominating headlines lately, but it doesn’t mean the pop sensation has been anywhere near out of work as a brand new rich list has revealed Taylor is the highest earning celebrity in the world for 2016.

According to Forbes magazine, the Shake It Off singer shook her way right to the bank as she raked in $170 million in the last year and earned herself the top spot on the Forbes 2016 Celebrity 100 List.

Taylor’s massive pay check comes in part from her successful 1989 World Tour and advertising for big names like Diet Coke, Keds and Apple.

The star’s income for this year is the most she has ever made annually and is more than twice the $80 million she made last year.

2015’s winner was pro-boxer Floyd Mayweather who made $300 million, while the world’s highest earning performer was Katy Perry with a cool $135 million.

Between that hefty bank balance and the wonderful Tom Hiddleston is it any wonder everyone wants to be TayTay for a day?

If you, like us, think Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston's relationship is going at warp speed just because he rocked an 'I heart TS' vest, you're going to want to sit down before reading the latest development in their burgeoning romance.

Not content to just globe-trot and grab headlines all over the world, it looks like the high-profile couple, who are currently sunning themselves in Australia, are already planning to settle down together.

According to E! Online, the Shake It Off singer thinks she's found the father of her future children while Tom, who is nine years Taylor's senior, is reportedly on the same page.

"This is the kind of a man she would want to marry," the source close to the couple revealed. "She has said he would make a great dad."

"They have talked about what they want in the future and kids are something that they would both like down the line," they continued. "They have very real and serious conversations about life."

Taylor, who was recently in a relationship with Scottish DJ, Calvin Harris, is reportedly head over heels for the British actor, with the insider saying: "She has told me that she loves his accent and thinks he is so sexy."

Ladies, we literally can't keep up.

It sounds like Tom Hiddleston was pretty certain his uber-suave 'I heart TS' vest and super-adorbs transfer tat spoke volumes when it came to his burgeoning romance with Taylor Swift.

In fact, it seems the Thor actor might have thought the clamouring press would be content with some loved-up snaps and dodgy-looking tats, and ultimately ask nothing more of him, but it sounds like he was sorely mistaken.

Having arrived in Australia with his new bae on Thursday, Tom was accosted by a local reporter who – unsurprisingly – enquired after Taylor, and it seems Tom wasn't at all interested in giving the press a handy little soundbite about his new romance.

When asked by a 9News reporter if Taylor was enjoying her time on the Gold Coast, the British actor, whose new relationship has made headlines all over the world, said: "I'm not going to answer that, if it's all right."

According to the Irish Independent, the reporter clearly wasn't going to let 35-year-old Tom off the hook that easy and continued to press the issue, asking how the new couple intend to spend their time down under.

Refusing to reveal ANYTHING about his and the Shake It Off singer's Aussie plans, Tom dodged the question and simply said: "I don't know… It's just good to be back."

Jeez Tom, you'd swear you'd been keeping the romance under wraps or something…
