Taylor Swift & Hiddles had an ‘intimate dinner’ at a Nashville steakhouse

E! News got an exclusive on Thursday about a very special Tiddles date. Apparently, after their “double date” Tuesday night at the Selena Gomez concert in Nashville, Tiddles stuck around for a second date night. This time, Tom Hiddleston and Taylor Swift went out to dinner just the two of them. You can see all of E!’s exclusive TIDDLES photos here. I wonder if they spent the entire dinner looking at Taylor’s texts and photos whilst eating a swan pastry?

Double dates are fun, but one-on-one is where the sparks can really fly! Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston might know a little something about this. Last night, the new couple went on a romantic dinner date to Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse in downtown Nashville, and E! News has exclusive photos and details from their “intimate” night out.

Taylor, 26, and Tom, 35, “seemed very comfortable with each other,” says an onlooker. Unlike the previous night of dancing at Selena Gomez’s concert alongside Taylor’s longtime BFF Abigail and her boyfriend, Wednesday night “was an intimate solo dinner date.”

The singer and Thor star were seated in a small area off to one side of the main restaurant which seemed to be more private than the general dining area. Taylor and Tom “were by themselves on the date, but surrounded by security,” says an onlooker. At the end of the evening, The lovebirds walked out of Ruth’s Chris holding hands. And, like a complete gentleman, Tom opened the car door for Taylor and made sure she got into the vehicle safely. From there, they were driven away by security.

It’s all sounding like a celebrity fairytale, isn’t it? Well, a source tells E! News Taylor was hesitant to get involved so quickly” with someone after her Calvin Harris breakup. But with Tom, “there was an immediate attraction.” Taylor “is not on rebound mode,” notes a source, “even though Tom questioned it a little when they first started talking.” Clearly, both parties involved seem to have overcome any initial reservations about this budding romance. “Tom wants to be with Taylor,” a source tells E! News, saying the new couple is “already very attached” and “text all the time.” One source tells E! News Taylor already thinks Tom could possibly be “the one, as odd as new as it sounds.”

[From E! News]

I don’t understand the “they text all the time” thing. They haven’t even been apart in a week! Probably more. Rhode Island to New York to Nashville, for more than a week. Sure, she stepped out with friends this week (she went to the zoo), but was she texting him the entire time? Are they the sort of new-couple that needs to text when they’re in the same house? As for the visit to the steakhouse… that’s a famous steakhouse in Nashville and it’s really popular. I would imagine that Tiddles annoyed many customers when her security surrounded the table. WTF?

One more Tiddles story: Star Magazine’s sources insist that Taylor “didn’t tip the paparazzi off” for those Rhode Island photos. And if you believe that, bless you. But the source says that when Taylor noticed she was being photographed, “she certainly put on a show for them.” And why was that? Because, sources allege, she “knew Calvin had cheated” and she wanted to make him jealous. And while Taylor thinks Tom is THE ONE, sources tell Star that Tom is a “total player” and that he won’t “stick around for too long.”

    So Hiddlestom has now already stayed at three of her houses, recited Shakespeare to her cats and probably knitted something with her mom and besties.

    do they ever spent some time apart?

    also why do they hold hands at dinner while sitting AT THE WINDOW?

    • Rebecca/Becky says:

      He’s been in the states 2 weeks now, sexting probably before that.

    • annaloo. says:

      It can’t be maintained. People eventually need a little space to do things like take out their trash or call their moms.

      Or maybe they are using Gwen and Blake as a template, I don’t know.

  2. freebunny says:

    Intimate, it’s how I would describe it.
    Chosing a table in front of the window opening to a car park, could it be more intimate?
    It’s not even funny anymore, too obvious.

    • detritus says:

      They were all alone with their two publicists and the three sets of paps they called.

    • Maria says:

      yeah i wonder why people say that Taylor and her team are some sort of PR geniuses. all of us could have come up with those very obivous pics.

      • freebunny says:

        Cause the Tumblr squad believe it’s tru luv forever.
        It’s her real audience, not us.

      • Alex says:

        Because her fanbase are tweens who believe everything they read in the magazines. To the rest of us this is an obvious pap control roll out…to the tween base this is a new fairytale relationship.
        This will not end well for anyone and I am READY for this to crash and burn

      • Dara says:

        I wandered over to a few Swift Tumblr sites last night while waiting for Brexit results, and they were all so invested in this coupling – definitely #teamtruelove. They were so sincere they almost had me convinced it’s a forever kind of love.

      • yellow says:

        Good point. Makes me think of the phrase I heard somewhere awhile back about marketing or music…”if you aren’t feeling it/into, it probably wasn’t meant for you (targeted at you)” (said in the context of age group)

    • Rachel says:

      And holding her hand so obviously in front of the window for long enough for the paps to get photos! 100% transparent.

    • Goats on the Roof says:

      Can Taylor do one goddamned thing that isn’t planned and plotted to a T? With all that’s going on in the world today, I have no patience for Taylor’s theatrics. And Tom! That man ought to be ashamed of himself.

      • kai says:

        He looks super pleased with himself. The hand-kissing bit was gross.

      • Dara says:

        It’s total photo assumption on my part, but it seemed like she took his hand and wouldn’t let go. He looked like he was politely trying everything he could think of get her to let go without forcibly breaking her fingers.

      • Amanda says:

        So I live here in Nashville, down in the 12south area…about 5 minutes from all these places they are at. And I can tell you that Nashville does NOT have paps just sitting around. That is why celebs like it here. So the fact they were photographed so much means someone tipped them off.

    • C says:

      You’re 100% right. I’m already tired of them. I used to like him…r.i.p Tom…..so thirsty.

      • twilly says:

        Now that the UK is in turmoil over the vote to leave the EU, and the prediction is for tough economic times ahead, I’d say Tom has found himself a “sugar mummy” just in the nick of time. Idiot!

      • LittlestRoman says:

        I’m with you twilly! A wild, sleep-deprived part of my mind is wondering if he didn’t see the Brexit thing coming and realized that wedding bells with Tay Tay = US Citizenship. Not that it’s so great here, but it’s always prudent to have a backup plan.

    • TotallyBiased says:

      So I guess Holly Williams is a thirsty famewhore, too?
      Hmmm.

      • freebunny says:

        Sure, cause people totally care about Holly Williams and the paps were totally here for her.
        Please….

  3. Nancy says:

    I heard they were spotted at Target together. Man, who cares. She always has a new love in her life. Why should this one be any different?! Baffled by the interest in her “love” life.

  4. Saraya says:

    She must like him a lot, since she’s stuffing her bra for him. 😛

  5. lilacflowers says:

    The pictures taken through the window of the restaurant show another couple with them but sure, romantic and intimate and just the two of them, plus the other two people. Perhaps Ruth’s Chris’s is doing community seating now?

    Any way, lots of comfort food and tea for our Britisher friends this morning. And hugs. Lots of hugs.

    • K.C. says:

      I think the window pictures were a separate date? Ruth’s Chris was dinner, no pics were taken inside. They were spotted with another couple through a window, but I think that was a separate meal. As I’m typing this I’m realizing I’m way too invested in this.

      EDIT: Oh, maybe I’m thinking of yet another date. So many dates to keep track of. Just saw those pics of them holding hands up in front of the window. What on earth are they doing?!? Be cool, Tiddles, be cool. They otherwise look natural and then they’re just randomly holding hands REALLY high. Hahaha.

      Hugs to our Brit friends today.

      • Nashville Girl says:

        Three dates in there nights: Selena concert, Ruth’s Chris and then Adele’s.

    • Dara says:

      The double-date on Thursday at Adele’s was with Holly Williams and her husband. My enjoy Holly’s music way more than I ever will Taylor’s. At least they redeemed their dodgy restaurant choice from Wed. with a better one on Thurs. but will you look at that – one with all windows. I’m shocked I tell you.

      .

  6. Miss Jupitero says:

    I’m too depressed about #brexit to even snark here.

    Of course the publicists are working overtime. Of course she called the papa. Of course she wants Calvin to be jealous. And of course he is a player– he knows opportunity when he sees it.

  7. OhDear says:

    I see their PR people are now setting things up for the eventual breakup (the Star magazine “sources”).

    • Cricket says:

      Next album title ‘Sources’ … she needs a new schtick so this theme can be how everyone picks on her for being a young singleton and looking for love – why all the hate? lol..

  8. Jayna says:

    It looks like from the concert pics and the restaurant pics that Taylor got another boob job.

    And sitting by the window? Come on. That’s what D-list reality TV stars do to get papped, not A listers. How obvious.

    • Kimbers says:

      Lol i know right? Obviously proves she was dumped….again. lol and is trying to make Adam think he made a mistake cutting her loose when he really pulled a life preserver move. I feel sorry for taylor. She must be so tired living a fake life. Money doesnt buy everything. love is free.

  9. Lita says:

    I’m ready for the breakup. I love Tom as an actor, but am a bit turned off right now. And yet, I keep coming back here for the comments, just like when you see a car accident. I wonder if they’ll last through his Thor filming.

  10. browniecakes says:

    We will only hear about one or the other cheating while Tom is in Australia filming Thor 3 for the rest of the summer. Target huh?

  11. Nan says:

    Can hardly wait for the new song titles to emerge:

    Taylor and Calvin breakup:

    ” DJ for hire”

    Tom and Taylor breakup. It will happen.

    “There once was an old man…”

    This is gonna be a “sheet” show.

  12. InvaderTak says:

    Barf. Geez even I’m over it. It’s not sad or even laughable anymore. It’s just nauseating. My gossip kingdom for some PR shenanigans that are subtle!

  13. NewWester says:

    All these photos of Taylor and Tom are like movie stills from the latest adaptation of a Nicholas Sparks novel, ” Love over a Swan Pastry”
    Just need a soundtrack to go with this cheesy movie

  14. Eleonor says:

    ” Tom opened the car door for Taylor and made sure she got into the vehicle safely”.
    Amazing.
    I love this mess.

    • maria 2 says:

      well I guess it is better than closing it in front of your pregnant spouse 😉

      and once again it sounds like Tom is out with his child. “I’m closing the door now, make sure your fingers doesn’t get in between. There you go darling”

  15. maria 2 says:

    According to a swedish news paper Calvin answered questions on his instagram last night about how Taylor controls the media and that he is glad to be free. E! apparently has screen shots.

  16. Jenn4037 says:

    Nashville is BYOP. If they’re being pap’d, they did it. And with all of the local amazing restaurants, they pick a chain? So confusing. (But headed in the direction of Taylor’s from downtown).

    • freebunny says:

      Free diner for the free publicity.
      Rich people are so cheap.

    • CL says:

      I was wondering why a chain as well. There are a few Ruth’s Chrises in Atlanta.

      i had just started really liking Tom during “The Night Manager”, but that’s been killed. I hate seeing good actors “go Hollywood”.

    • Nicole says:

      Yea Ruth Chris isn’t far from Bridgestone or Taylor’s place. Its right near Vandy lol. Its the place your parents take you when they come to town before you get acclimated to the amazing food Nashville has to offer. I went there once when a prospective student came with her parents and they took us out. Its not a place anyone typically goes…so obvious and sad

      • Jenn4037 says:

        @Nicole if they had been at SATCO – there would be mad respect. Or anywhere in the village. They could have snuggled at Cabana for the world to see.

      • Nicole says:

        I LOVE SATCO. Geez I miss that place and McDougs. Cabana too but we reserved that place for birthdays. Taylor and Tom are too posh for the Village. They would never. Hence why they go to a lame chain like RC

    • popup says:

      This reminds me of a story that emerged around the first Thor movie publicity tour. Tom was telling a self-deprecating anecdote about how excited he was to discover this delicious chicken sandwich, and when he revealed to his castmates what this culinary haven was, they all laughed in his face. It was Chili’s.

  17. Mira says:

    I am so angry about these over ambitious eton toffs ( Boris, Cameron et all) ruining our country. I can’t even laugh at this ambitious eton toff latest escapades anymore.

    • Rebecca/Becky says:

      Mira, I’m p***ed off with rich, posh nobs this morning too.

      And obscenely rich pop stars who live their exaggerated love lives through the press – with arranged pics to the gutter UK tabloids like the Sun and Daily Mail.

      • Rebecca/Becky says:

        THE SUN and the f***** DAILY MAIL, who had a lot of influence over uninformed, working class UK voters as it turns out.

        And these 2 thirsty twits are in cohouts with them with their stupid pap pics.

    • Miss Jupitero says:

      Word. I still have no words.

  18. Erinn says:

    It’s not even 9am and I REALLY just want steak. That’s what I got out of this.

    Oh, and I came in hoping for a cat photo, but was disappointed on that front.

  19. Felice. says:

    No they went to Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse. It’s a chain. It’s like Ruby Tuesday. They wanted to be somewhere where the general public would see them.

    • Dara says:

      Chain, yes – but not at all like Ruby Tuesday. Of all the restaurants in Nashville, it wouldn’t have been my choice, but they weren’t exactly mixing with the masses.

    • anon123 says:

      It is a chain but it is very fancy by American standards and it is at least x10 more expensive than RubyTuesdays/ Chilis/ Fridays etc. This is where people go once -twice a year for a “nice dinner” for a special occasion.

  20. Dr.House says:

    Here it is, another day our dose Tiddles , TayTo etc …. God , I need some drugs to overcome such a sweet relationship, i fell likr Dr.House.

  21. Christin says:

    Is this the longest ‘first date’ ever? Such privacy — by a window. At a chain steakhouse, folks.

  22. Ali says:

    The real crime here is changing her hair back to that ash blonde color!

  23. Almondjoy says:

    So annoying

  24. LMB says:

    I’m already tired of these two.

  25. Lucy says:

    Wow, she really wants to be seen. So does he.

  26. guest says:

    aww they are lovely together.

  27. TreadStyle says:

    Hmm interesting outfits choices for the weather there. I bet they were both very sweaty.

  28. tw says:

    On a side note, can we please retire the words “thirsty”, “selfie” and “shaming”?

  29. seesittellsit says:

    And making sure that the public and the paps are apprised of every minute of it, just in case anyone missed the, er, point.

    Eccchhhh.

  30. So Taylor’s source says she’s not rebounding with Tom but when she noticed the paps in Rhode Island she definitely put on a show to get back at Calvin because she knew he cheated? Uh, okay.

    Does Tom really want to marry Taylor or is he just taking this as a regular, albeit serious, relationship? He’s 35 and she’s a clinger so I would think he put some thought into that and the outcome if it doesn’t wind up in marriage for her or if it does for him. In the meantime, I’ll just enjoy it for the soap opera it is. Who wants to live a life where you want to go out to eat, or everywhere for that matter, with bodyguards surrounding your table? These are the days of our lives.

  31. Net says:

    I love this pairing, and I am so enamored with the “knight in shining armour theme.”

    That said..Im holding breath because I feel like he is gonna cut and run..and soon.

    And Calvin? Mr Passive Agressive tweeter, I dont even think he will make the next album. I get serious douche vibes from him.

  32. Emmet says:

    TIDDLES – crazy!
    Should Tom have taken a Russell Brand tutorial before this venture?

    Anyway the nuptials should be a hoot – think it’s going there.
    It will make the Amalooney Italian wedding spectacle seem like a BBQ in the park.

    Oh the swan boat processional alone!!!!

  33. guest says:

    @TW agreed. Everytime I wanna punch that person when he/she uses these words

  34. Kate says:

    And she always knows where the cameras are

  35. LAK says:

    How will he handle the breakup? This PR is so embarrassing.
