Tom Hiddleston Denies Hiddleswift is a Publicity Stunt

Ever since Tom Hiddleston and Taylor Swift were spotted getting cozy in public, we’ve had tons of questions swirling in our minds. Yes, Taylor’s list of famous exes is lengthy, but it’s safe to say that no one saw this relationship coming. While the paparazzi have been snapping plenty photos of them in every city (and country) that they’ve visited thus far, many have been wondering if the relationship is in fact a genuine one, rather than a massive publicity stunt. Considering how quickly the relationship escalated, it’s only natural that people speculate about the authenticity of Hiddleswift. Admit it, you’ve probably read all the ridiculous conspiracy theories online. Now, Tom is finally commenting on his relationship with the pop singer, and he’s ready to put all the rumors to rest.


During an interview with THR, Tom was asked his thoughts on the rumor that his relationship with Taylor is simply a publicity stunt. His response is everything we have hoped for.  

“Well, um. How best to put this? That notion is—look, the truth is that Taylor Swift and I are together, and we’re very happy. Thanks for asking. That’s the truth. It’s not a publicity stunt.”

Will this put all the haters’ speculation to rest? Probably not, but the main point is that Hiddleswift is REAL and they’re quite happy together, regardless of what other people might think.
