Taylor Swift posted this ^^ Instagram following her mega-bash for the Fourth of July. That’s one great way to use one’s huge Rhode Island mansion, I suppose. I’m very disappointed that Tom Hiddleston didn’t participate in the group shot, but it’s possible that even Tom didn’t want to be wearing an “I HEART T.S.” tank and a star-spangled onesie on social media. I don’t know why though – it’s not like those ocean photos didn’t go viral the instant they were published. It’s not like the whole world isn’t talking about how quickly Tiddles has become crazy-official.
Tom Hiddleston really ❤️'s Taylor Swift https://t.co/x6wkTjLIrB pic.twitter.com/PzQ6S3RBVV

So why did Taylor only post a group shot of the girls? Does she want us to know that her #squad is still important to her? As important as a new boyfriend? During last year’s Fourth of July party, Taylor posted more photos, and they included pics of herself with Calvin Harris, whom she had been dating for about four months at that point. Maybe Taylor wants to make it one full month with Hiddles before she posts his photo on Instagram.
What else? Taylor got an enormous slide with “TAYMERICA” emblazoned on the side, so almost everyone had a go.
Taylor Swift’s Fourth of July festivities were already in full swing over the weekend, but on Monday, the singer kicked it up a notch by throwing a backyard bash at her Rhode Island home. In the afternoon, Swift hosted a “hopping party” at her beachside mansion for her group of friends, according to a source.
With songs like Shakira’s “Hips Don’t Lie” blasting, the partygoers took turns sliding down a giant, red, white and blue slide with the words “Taymerica” on the side, and also played a game of football on the lawn.
Swift’s new boyfriend, English actor Tom Hiddleston, was decked out in red, white and blue jumpsuit and was spotted doing flips on the inflatable slide alongside Swift’s brother, Austin. The “Shake It Off” singer also held hands with her bff Karlie Kloss as they jumped down the slide together. Later in the afternoon, Swift – wearing a one-piece American flag bathing suit – also hit the slide with Hiddleston. The pair went down the slide together holding hands, says the source.
“The pair went down the slide together holding hands, says the source.” Oh, brother. I feel like a curmudgeon, but MY GOD. This will end in tears, blind-item songs and drama.

The only thing I will say is this: before I got
Married I dated a lot. And the limbo of are we/aren’t we, hooking up/dating/boyfriend/girlfriend/seeing each other was exhausting. I often felt like those terms just gave freedom for either party to do what they wanted. So while I don’t like
Her music and don’t watch his movies, I think it’s nice that they are so upfront about it. And If it’s for publicity- good for them. They got it without drag racing or doing drugs or being Gwenyth Paltrow.
or being gwyneth paltrow…thank you, oh, thank you for this 🙂
we get it, they are in love, made for each other and like to visit places, but can we stop talking about them please, like now? or maybe next month we just sum up the love tour de world of Taylor and Tom – every place they hold hands vol 1, all in one map.
I agree. I don’t watch or listen to either of these two but if I’d had all that money at her age, I probably would’ve done a lot of illegal things.
“Or being Gwyneth Paltrow….” Beautiful!
Except Taylor is morphing into a blow up doll …
It is as if her entire life is one, long Polo ad campaign.
Great comment, @Crowdhood. If this is their worst offense, they’re doing really, really well in my book.
Ok, that last bit’s got me….
Wot? No star-spangled onesie photo? I am CRUSHED.
Can’t take your foot off the accelerator now, LEGS. I expect better.
Tosses caffeinated beverages, breakfast items and cake onto the interwebz table.
Recovery from Independence Day parties has begun. And it is pouring and steamy. Not the perfect day for escorting out-of-town, cranky relatives about the city.
I do wonder if Taylor let her squad attend the big parade in Bristol yesterday or if she held them all captive for the duration.
She has them coupled up and posing on the porch (grab the insulin lol). Ryan Reynolds look SO over this

I think I have been let down. No onesie photo. This is an outrage.
I need the food so many thanks. I don’t have any myself today because the teachers are on strike and I have what feels like the entirety of TWO school classes careering around my house. I like Fire in the Booth Part 4 an’ all, but I don’t need to hear it 27 bazillion times. Also, it would be good if I had some food left by the time it’s all over. Also, the tennis is starting and bodies keep getting between me and my tellybox. Saying excuse me, Sixer, sorry to bother you but can I have…
GET OUT OF THE WAY OF SIXER’S TELLYBOX WHILE THE TENNIS IS ON!!!! NOW!!!
Sixer, I was disappointed there was no onesie pic. When jumpsuit was mentioned I imagined a boiler suit, but I assume it’s one of those all-in-one men’s swimsuits, like this:
http://www.ebay.com/bhp/mens-one-piece-swimsuit
I know! What are they thinking? I have given blanket permission to do anything, eat anything, drink anything – so long as they stay the heck out of my office and go nowhere near my tellybox.
This may backfire.
For you, Sixer!

Hooray! A teaser!
Sixer, I must I admit I love your coverage of Tiddles. It’s simply priceless!
My attempt at haiku in your honour:
Thor’s brother saw Tay Tay
and then became so awkward.
And Sixer’s bleeding heart moved me to tears.
Haha. I thank you! Long may Tiddles continue.
I’ll admit I felt super let down that Tom was not in a patriotic onesie like the squad. Dreams dashed
I came here for the onsie photo too. My day is pretty lame now.
The party seems really cool in concept, but I just envision Taylor making them pose a million times in a million different ways.
She took that girls only photo because she needs to show the world she’s still popular in the celebrity world. We all know her and Tom are going strong, now she needs to show us she has many beautiful girlfriends. Because she’s ALWAYS prom queen.
I don’t get that whole thing. She was popular in high school from what I understand. Does she just not want to leave that era?
I think it was George Clooney who talked about how you pretty much stick at the age you get famous and it is hard to move past that. Wasn’t her first album released when she was 16 or so? If a 16 year old acts like this it is adorable. If a 27 year old does it? 🙄
Mia4S, I don’t have a source for this offhand but psychologically there is a lot of maturation that occurs in the late teens to early twenties (cognitive development, identity, responsibility etc) and that what happens at this time influences the rest of your life. From what I’ve read Taylor’s life from the age of 14 onwards wasn’t what most people would consider normal.
(in fact I’m sure Tom has mentioned the subject of maturation in an interview when talking about going to Cambridge)
@Mia4s – When I was reading Rob Lowe’s autobiography, he said he had the theory that you are emotionally stunted at the level you become famous unless you get a lot of therapy.
Look at people like Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Leann Rimes, many, many rock/pop stars, etc. It seems to be more the case for people in the music industry than other genres.
However, I don’t think that holds true for everyone. Brooke Shields was famous from a very young age and she seems “normal.”
I agree with the poster above – Taylor Swift’s life looks like a Ralph Lauren ad and I think she’s designed it that way.
Channing Tatum spoke of this too. That your world changes and you have no real need to mature for a great many factors. He went on to say he’s happy he became famous later in life.
That’s how it seems to me to. At the end of the day everything she does is just to promote “me, me, me”. There’s just something so gross about her, I find her insufferable and fake. Prom Queen is a good adjective. Somehow I envision Taylor to be more like Jennifer Check (Jennifer’s Body) than girl power.
Is this whole thing a joke? Taymerica slide? I heart T. S. shirts? Are you serious????
I feel like I’m living in an alternate universe…
I feel absolutely certain that they’ve brought in a team of writers to propose the most over-the-top relationship PR stunts, and then Tom and Taylor actually enact them. I would bet money that in a meeting last week, one of the writers said, ” you know, Tom should wear an ‘I heart T. S.’ tank top with a fake heart tattoo on his arm this weekend,” and another writer said “YES! And they should cavort in the ocean water looking so IN LOVE” and a third said “And then a source should talk to the tabs about how they are so made for each other,” and all the writers laughed together and then gagged a bit and then they called up the couple with their weekend itinerary.
Lex, going strong after 3 weeks, haha!
@Becky Well, one week in Taylor’s world is like a year in reality! I think at this point in the Haylor and Connor relationships, she was looking for real estate near the boyfriends?
Just like I lost lots of respect for Mariska Hargitay for joining the squad, same goes to Uzo Aduba.
Uzo and Ruby Rose have been doing a press tour for Orange is the New Black so maybe Uzo is Ruby’s plus one to this event.
I agree. I think Uzo was just invited. There were probably other stars that were invited but weren’t photographed.
Nope I remember Uzo being beckoned on stage during Taymerica’s tour, somewhere. She is most definitely there of her own accord.
I’m in charge of planning Family Weekend at the college I work at and we have bouncy castles, inflatable slides, face/body painters for the CHILDREN who come to visit. I’m just saying.
I read that as family planning weekend! 🙂
HAHA! Hopefully that’s happening too *throws all the condoms on earth at Hiddles*
Although, I doubt penetration is in the contract and physical contact is limited awkward hand-holding/hugging, mild dry humping and closed mouth kisses.
I’m an introvert, so I cannot relate to wanting to have that many chatty, giggling girlfriends in your life. Taylor’s world just seems so annoyingly exhausting. Five minutes of her life would make my head burst.
I agree her life seems fake. Usually when you get a lot of girls together it can get catty and bitchy. I suspect most of them are only around her for the fame. I’m surprised cara delevigne (sorry if I spelt her name wrong) isn’t tired of it. She doesn’t strike me as the type to be super girly. As for her and Tom Hiddleston I think they’re cut from the same cloth both eager beavers so maybe this will work out for both of them. Maybe Taylor has found a guy that likes the limelight as much as she does and it won’t be bad for him regarding movies he makes in the future. I heard Calvin Harris couldn’t “handle” her fame and success. Either way this spectacle is fun to watch.
Anyone who puts Taymerica on a slide has a ridiculous sense of her own importance! This is just plain bizarre to me – Kanye West level bizarre!
this could be the dictionary definition for “white people”.
I was thinking “fan fiction” but maybe both. And I say this as a white person who loves ff. But this is … a lot.
@maria, that’s insulting.
Dictionary definition of rich young people perhaps, but hardly white people in general. They dont’t have many characsteristics the rest of us can find in ourselves.
Spoiled rich young people in general. I have nothing at all in common with Taylor, Tom and her “squad”.
Nu-uh, because she has a token black friend now. See!
I really appreciate that taylor rotates her token black friends each year. That’s nice.
I was going to say it looks like a poster for the Aryan nation, but then I saw the token black friend, so it worked!
@ Fran,
That was exactly what i was thinking!! SO nice of her to switch up her token black friends.. New 4th of July, new black friend.
Ha! Ha! Ha! I wonder if past token black friend gets mad at not being invited. Why her and not me? Why does token black friend have to be female? What is Tay Tay’s criteria for token black friend. So many questions…
I think there is nothing more dictionary-definition-white-person than having exactly one (1) black friend at large social gatherings/pap frolick sessions.
Same question here…what if this were a pic of a hip-hop party, would that comment be offensive?
Not cool Maria. We should not be defined by our race, creed or color.
Um, what? Extremely offensive.
Yes, I have to agree. What if someone took a picture from a hip-hop party and commented the same?
So what if only white people were at her party? I don’t have any black friends, does that mean I’m a racist? No. You’re friends with people you click with, not just because you need some racial balance in your life.
Exactly. Most people’s group of friends consist mainly of people with the same race. That is a FACT. And I don’t see anyone crying racism when a rapper or a NBA Star throws a party and there aren’t any whites.
Gee, I thought there would be some underwater-holding-hands pics, or eating with one hand while holding hands moments..oh well..
Oh, she is going to be SO MAD that she didn’t think of the underwater hand holding.
That photo of her reaching for him in the water. All I could think was “a hug is just a strangle that isn’t finished yet.”
Now that is cynical, but it made me laugh!
“The pair went down the slide together holding hands, says the source.” – Well that should officially bury the James Bond dreams.
I know right. If that t-shirt with “I heart ts” didn’t ruin it already. Where is his publicist? This whole stunt can only hurt his shot at being a “serious” actor. He comes off like a hungry 13 year old puppy in this media circus
I ride down the slide holding hands with my 2 year old nephew so he doesn’t get scared.
Least sexy image possible
These headlines are the written equivalent of syrup of Ipecac.
Holy crap, I am too old for this EXTRA EXTRAOSITY.
^ This x 100
No, no, no! Nobody is ever too old for EXTRAOSITY! (I am stealing that word).
I believe EXTRAOSITY keeps us young.
Oh sure, a LITTLE EXTRAOSITY is okay, it’s the EXTRA EXTRAOSITY that makes me want to stab someone in the eye.
I can’t wait to see what these two do next. Holding hands as they take a hot air balloon over an Australian vineyard?
I’m waiting on Paris…
… or a trip to the Build-a-Bear emporium.
Oh Sixer I vote Build a Bear! They could do his and hers! More mimosa please 😀
Each bear will be wearing a tiny “I ❤️TS/TH” t-shirt lolol
New product: Tiddles the Bear!
I need a Tiddles Bear to hug at night.
TayTo, please make this happen.
You know, I half-heartedly defended these two at first – I’ve been overly excited about guys in the past (I’m in my 30’s). I’ve had whirlwind romances. I’ve had guys want to dive in head first. I’ve been involved in some embarrassingly cutesy moments (in retrospect).
But this is ridiculous. Shirts declaring their love? Fake tattoos? This guy is in his mid 30’s. It’s second hand embarrassing to watch. It has to be some sort of performance art or commentary on social media??? Right…?
“This guy is in his mid 30′s” i dont know if there are still people who believe that. basically everywhere i looked people were calling him out for his wrinkles and massive five head.
People in their thirties start getting wrinkles and even some grey hair or loosing hair. Imagine that!
How/ why do you call somebody out for aging?
Nothing against fake tattoos. Please! Imagine for a min. that Taylor tattooed PERMANENTLY a guy’s name! Then they must be soulmates, hold forever hands, have babies and grow old togehter! I mean the horror of it….
Did he wear Calvin’s onesie from last year?
He was trolling with the I Heart TS shirt… lol.
Trolling only works when the person doing it doesn’t make themselves look like an idiot in the process..
All trolls look like idiots in the end.
I agree with Lindy. At this point it looks like he’s trolling his career, although, I do think he has succeeded in getting his name into the consciousness of the general public.
Whether he got the effect he wanted or not doesn’t change the fact what he was doing… he was trolling the media and the response to his relationship with Taylor… which if you think about it, regardless of the PR aspect of it, has been RUDE, sometimes nasty and just plain ridiculous at times. No on here knows either Taylor Swift or Tom Hiddleston…you haven’t met them, you’re not friends with them….
I found the tee-shirt to be funny. He has to like her to make fun of himself like this or he’s pulling the biggest con job in the history of cons. Whatever his motivation, Tom Hiddleston could care less about what any of you think. He doesn’t care.
@Lindy79 @cynic: Seriously. Has he imagined the line of questioning that will invade his press junkets? There’s so much cringe-worthy potential on his next de rigueur appearance on Graham Norton.
Pretty sure that a rash guard emblazoned with Team Swift was never gonna be an option (but Property of T. Swift would have been a good joke).
I doubt anyone on here thinks he cares what they say. Thats not why people comment. Even if its trolling its incredibly short sighted on his behalf. This relationship is in its very early stages yet they have both sold every aspect of it (anyone who thinks they havent tipped the press off is beyond niave). A very risky strategy, also these pictures will follow him around, she has little to lose but its making him look frankly ridiculous and i pity the next poor sap he dates if they do break up, as these photos will be brought up time and time again.
There are a million ways they could have sold the relationship and not looked like tits but they’ve failed miserably.
For those of us who watched/watch Friends on reruns, I think she may have found her lobster. She may not even be angry enough to write a fu Calvin song. Her life seems as she likes it sunshine, lollipops and rainbows. Ah yes love!
Hahahaha!! Yes, this.
I guess that’s why Calvin Harris is acting so butt-hurt – she doesn’t seem to care about him at all anymore and has moved on 100%.
Oh no, she will put Calvin into a song. He may not get his own song but his likeness will find itself in there somewhere.
I prefer Hinds to Taylor Swift. Just sayin’.
I’m so confused with all of this, part of me really hates this because it’s killed the Hiddles hot for me totally, man I loved Loki….but part of me thinks this is hilarious, somewhat desperate and so over the top I want to get the popcorn and bunker down for the mess to all blow up!!
I’m with you! Did you notice she was trying to jump on his back ala last year’s Calvin pic, but he didn’t know what she was doing.
YES! I did notice! It was as if she caught herself.. ‘check – wait did this with Adam last year, withdraw..withdraw before there are comparison photos on the DM’.. whoops.. too late .. lol
If isn’t performance art (actually s*d that, even if it is) Luke needs firing, he needs to retreat off to have a long, hard look at himself and then concentrate on rebuilding his reputation.
Is that his manager? Oh I think I can make this worse and get them to really dial it up:
Hey Luke! I hear they’re getting really serious about Aidan Turner as James Bond!
Hey Luke! You know who I always hear Hollywood talking about as an amazing British actor? Benedict Cumberbatch! Oscar nominee and he’s won an Emmy and an Olivier!
😜
Luke is his British publicist, who no longer handles his US PR. Luke is not his agent or manager. Luke does not get him roles. Tom has repeatedly said he is not in the running for James Bond. That is just PR dreamed up by the British tabloids to get them clicks. Tom also has an Olivier and an Evening Standard award.
Wow @Lilacflowers, it is a joke. 😉
Nothing about this can be taken seriously. He wore a tank top with her initials on it! Either he has a sense of humour or he’s a complete idiot. I am sure we hope it is the first.
Wait he won a best newcomer Olivier, not a best acting prize? They don’t even give that award out anymore! Sorry for making fun of you Luke, you are a good PR man! 😀
Yeah, his Olivier is like a half-Olivier. It was a special category for a few years before they binned it.
And despite what lilac or Tom says, he either wanted to be in the running for Bond or maybe was in an ‘early doors’ manner. But that’s dead now. They’ll bury his Bond chances in an I <3 T.S. t-shirt under a rock in RI.
Daniel Craig is still under contract for one more Bond film and no matter how many times he says he would rather die than play Bond, he is still Bond until he completes that film or Barbara Broccoli releases him from his contract. Nobody else is in the running for Bond under those circumstances.
What I would have given to go down the taymerica slide in Rhode Island instead of working and doing homework on 4th of July! Guess Calvin Adam Wiles Harris was not the only one banned from America’s greatest Independence Day party, as I did not see any swan floaties either! #bringbacktheswans
Did anyone see the photos of Conor (2012 teenage fling) taken during his family’s holiday celebration?
Maybe certain photos were selected to fit a narrative, but he looked less than happy. Obviously he’s had a lot more to deal with than being her ex.
Is there any reason why some people love to name him Calvin Adam Wiles Harris (full name?)? I’ve seen this several times now and it looks like a joke of some sort but I really don’t know much about him.
Because he was saying how he’s not Hollywood and low-key yet changed his name to sound more black and dated the most famous contemporary popstar.
That said, Tom also said he liked his privacy and focused on work and he’s posing up a storm. At least Calvin kept the photo ops to a minimum. It was Taylor who was gushing and posting on social media. I guess because Tom had a gentleman image and Calvin a douche image, it’s easier for Tom to be a complete hypocrite and liar.
@Crox- he changed his name to sound less white.
But also, Lainey pokes fun at it all the time
OK, thanks. I’m not American so I don’t understand how Calvin Harris sounds more black than Adam Wiles, so no wonder this flew over my head.
Why would he want to sound black, tho? He’s a DJ. Does being black help at eletronic music?
Somehow I think this is the type of party where you do exactly what the hostess wants, all day long. Posing at 12. Football at 1:15.
Yes.
an emotionally stunted mean girl has become the gate keeper to their careers…
concise one sentence summations make me smile 🙂
Yes. And it sounds exhausting. And not in a good way!
Really exhausting. I would be hiding/napping in my room. She probably has a board with the schedule written on it.
I think so too.. does anyone think there is any truth to the rumor (lol) that she pays some of these people to attend – like the models? It just seems so over the top, even from Tay.. gives the impression every American runs around in an American flag all weekend and has a complete flag wardrobe.. I don’t think I’ve seen as many flag outfits since the World Cup..
One of the theories I saw somewhere was that this is the troll of the year because what they’re really doing is filming a video (or something along those lines)for her next album a la Jessica Szohr and her bizarre publicity stunt with Jon Lovitz. Probably not true, but it would be a lot less embarrassing than the what is currently unfolding.
It is so sad I know this, but it was Jessica Lowndes
I may be reacting more strongly to the branding of Taymerica.
Heh, and people bash Kanye for being self-aggrandizing.
Seconded!
I said the same thing in another comment!! This Taymerica is Kanye West level bizarre. Yet she doesn’t get called out for it except by people like us. People who think.
THANK YOU. I read “Taymerica” and was like “GMAFB.” Seriously. Just NOPE.
Honestly, can’t you take 30 seconds to spell out what you mean? More initials for me to google just to know what you’re talking about.
I just… I hate her so much. I can’t help it, you guys, I’m sorry. She’s a horrendously narcissistic brat. I saw “Taymerica” and I snapped. I’ve never liked her because I’ve seen through her from day one, and this is just too f*cking much for me. I can’t deal. I’m going into a coma until the Tiddlesorrow breakup album comes out.
couldn’t agree more…narcissistic to the nth degree…
@Shambles. If you haven’t read it, Linda Holmes @ NPR did a fantastic analysis of Taylor’s 2010 VMA performance “Taylor Swift Sings That Kanye Can Still Get to Heaven Despite Interrupting Her”
Linda followed up with a hilarious round table podcast w/ her Pop Culture Happy Hour crew. I’ll link the page, Hope it takes.
http://www.npr.org/sections/monkeysee/2010/09/17/129929400/pop-culture-happy-hour-meat-dress-90s-sitcoms-and-the-dog-bed-of-repose
It’s her world and he’s just living in it and that world is called TAYMERICA.
I’ve not posted about this cause I usually don’t care about Tay Tay. But my folks do, and at our 4th of July family BBQ, my mom and I got to talking about TSwift and her new man. I told her (just told, no pics) about Tom (who she does not know from Adam) and the I ❤ TS shirt. Her response: “I bet she made him wear that.”
If even my ma is on to their game, Tiddles ain’t got any.
LOL – my dad the other day was like “Hey. Who’s that old man that Taylor is supposedly dating?”
That slide looks really dangerous….says the former lawyer.
Yes one big gust of wind and the slide could have turned into a giant flying mattress and Tayto could have ended up sailing through the air…At least they could have broken into a rendition of “A whole new World” as they held each others hands against the buffeting.
Disappointed there are no pics of Tom in his onesie for the fireworks, surely he hadn’t already left by then. I do hope not as more pics of these two crazy kids, would make my week complete.
LOL at flying TayTo! You know Tay would demand that go on her Insta account, and make Tom re-record the song so it could be heard more clearly! ANYTHING to get those likes!
that’s what i was thinking. i’m confused about how it works. where do people on the little slide to the the left slide off to – the cold hard pavement? rude landing after a fun ride – warning for hiddleston in there!
Those are the steps. You have to kind of crawl up those things to get to the top to go down. I have been on one at an indoor bounce house (adults were eventually prohibited from the slides- maybe we were weighing them down) and getting up there is not easy, I can’t imagine adding alcohol to that mix! The waiver to use them and rent them is pretty intense, my sister rented one for her daughter’s birthday (a big ol slide, not just the standard bounce house). I’m not going to lie, though, I wouldn’t mind having one for an adults only 4th party!
Ahh ok. Thanks for explaining! the steps look flat to me and yes bad combo with alcohol!
Maybe there’s no alcohol and Tay Tay just serves Juice boxes and Capri Sun. Or, if she’s feeling super naughty- Shirley Temples!
“This will end in tears, blind-item songs and drama.”
His tears and drama over losing it all (fame, fortune and attention) and she gets the song of the decade.
Chef Grace- I can see the song now. “His T-Shirt said he loved me, but that was all a lie. Held my hand on the waterslide, but then our loved it died”
It’ll probably be titled “Taymerica”
“Independence” because she will be all about girl power again after this.
I can’t imagine he will break up with her. Who would he replace her with? She can replace him. We’ll see.
I think I hear the crazed fans of Hiddleston crying somewhere in the distance because of your comment lol.
But I agree. He won’t be breaking up with her.
Hi all!! Happy Tuesday July 5!! I.hope everyone had a great July 4/ monday!
I.used to like Taylor (girl power, being strong and independent) and she is a hypocrite.
My mother cannot be alone. I learned very early on to amuse my self(I enjoy being alone). But I miss companionship. After losing my boyfriend 14 years ago, I try to keep an open heart open mind.
I don’t bring guys around, my family( CA and MA) that know my family.
I just see her either afraid to come out or she just cannot be alone.
Any ways, I hope everyone is great and I thank you all for your kind words. I love my gossip, and even.though o just got on here( few months ago), there has been advice which has been great. And thank you all my CB’s!! Special thanks to ladymsdragon!
She really is the type of female that needs to surround by so called popular or relevant women. I’m not saying she isn’t nice but her friendships seem really one sided and built to cater to her image. It’s really junivile and displays how insecure she is in needing to project this circle of protection around herself. Kind of like don’t diss me ( Kathy Perry or Kayne), I’m in change of the cool group. Again not saying she isn’t nice but how genuine are these friends? Hey a cool place to hang for the 4th and exposure because they all know the drill with Tays 4th pics. But it all seems really ungenuine and reeks of a high school level of maturity.
I’ve been in friendships where I was only wanted when no one else was around to hang out with. It sucks. I mean sure these ladies have tons of stuff to do, but how weird is it to get a call from Taylor (probably her assistant) after months telling you to get your ass to Rhode Island for your yearly “fun with Taylor”
I actually wonder how often she talks to members of her “squad”
It’s such a weird party. I mean the activities seem so artificial if they’re her close friends, but there aren’t nearly enough people there if it’s a more impersonal bash. There should be two or three times as many people and many many more chairs set out by the pool.
I wonder if Tay personally scripts the yearly invites on her own stationary – in pink with cat prints on it and sprays it with a scent.. taking a tip from Hyacinth Bucket and her candlelight suppers?
I got the impression this weekend was planned down to the very last minute, and every guest had a schedule of events – the FUN! was compulsory.
Guests: Surf photos? I dunno Tay, that water looks cold as hell and I think there are photographers hanging around.
Taylor: I don’t CARE! The schedule calls for spontaneous group photos at 10:30, and by God that’s what we’re going to do. I need that photo to complete the super-special scrapbook I’m going to give to you all at the end of the weekend. Now, stop whining and hit the beach!
Abigail Anderson has been her friend since childhood.. I’m not sure about the others but I do know she’s been friends with Karlie Kloss for a few years now. The ones that surprised me were Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. I had no idea a) they even knew each other or b) that Ryan would be willing to partake in such an event. I mean everyone knows she calls the paps.
I think it’s actually the other way around. The members of her ‘squad’ have more to gain by associating with her than she does by them. She’s by far the more famous one. That’s not to say that she hasn’t been intentional in collecting friends. I think she’s probably is a somewhat lonely person, because she has so few peers as close friends. The only one who has gone through a similar life experience and similar level of fame is Selena, as far as I can tell.
Also, frankly, rich/famous people love free vacations. They’re consumed with worry about dents in their money pile. That may also be why so many of these celebs are happy to accept invitations to her pose-a-thon.
There isn’t enough eye rolls. I mean cool if they are really into each other, but how is this not embarassing. These pictures will live forever.
Yes these pics will live forever , even after they go down in flames. But the question is, how long.? Will thirsty Tom be there next year and which squad members will be in or out..? Side note; it is kind of funny that Kendal Jenner doesn’t get a shoe in on the squad. It must eat at her and PMK
I believe in their true love. Let it be!
I don’t know if you have a post about this coming up but I saw the pics with Blake and her husband at this party and I couldn’t help thinking the ‘private’ and ‘discreet’ Ryan Reynolds is participating at Taylor Swift’s public bash and engaging in kissing activities with his wife in front of the paps.
Oh those pictures were the best!
I especially loved the one where Tay was jumping on Tom at the same time Blake was jumping on Ryan, and Tay was looking over at Blake like it was a “who is the most carefree and romantic?” competition. 🙂
Didn’t Blake have a shark movie come out this week? Interesting that she’s never been in the squad before and now she shows up to frolic in front of the paps.
OR did Taylor think she should invite Blake and Ryan so Tom would have another old dude to talk to? So he wouldn’t be the ONLY person over 30 at the party? So considerate.
Now in the news: This morning, Canada opened its doors to refugees and conscientious objectors fleeing Taymerica. “We stand ready to receive them with Timbits and Kaluha spiked coffee,” said Prime Minister Trudeau.
Ha! Good one!
And poutine!
I’m looking for some real reasons to hightail it to Canada (besides the fact that I love it). Thanks for adding to the list. 😁
rappie pie and blueberry fungi
What the what?! Off to google…
@GingerCrunch, food from Nova Scotia.
Hahaha! Canada is already so darn awesome, and now you have the hottest prime minister on the planet. I wish CB had posted photos/video of him dancing with his wife on Canada Day — wearing maple leaf socks even! And marching in the PRIDE parade. Swoon.
It’s like she’s permanently 14 years old. Ah well, at least she found a dude willing to cornball along with her.
Yep, as long as Tay-Tay has that $250Million bankroll, Tommy-Anne will happily pose on rocks, wear heart tattoos, hold hands down a waterslide , bark like a trained seal and engage in any other type of circus behavior she requests, LOL!
Tommy-Anne LOL
Somewhere dear papa Hiddleston is shedding a single tear, thinking about how all of his hard earned money and work has ultimately lead to ‘Hiddleswift.’ Dear Tommy boy has gone from suffering thespian to a kept man, running around in an adult onesie and sliding down kiddie slides… 😐😕
His nickname “TommyAnne” was coined back in 2013 here on CB, for lesser reasons than what we’re seeing now.
Tommy-Anne is an insult to Anne Hathaway now. Lordy, has it come to this?
New breast implants! They are so obvious. The flat chested country girl from Romeo and Juliet video is going overboard like a PORN star or BayWatch look.
She is so rich reality is lost on her and Tom. Everything is image and PR.
You haven’t seen much porn (or later seasons of Baywatch) if you think those are porn-sized boobs. 😉
Those boobs are far from porn sized. I have had a ton of friends over the years get boob jobs and my sister did also as she was flat-chested and hated it. Not one of them got porn-sized boobs, and they got them for themselves for different reasons. I take that back. One went too large. She was tall and broad-shouldered and athletic-looking. But the really big boobs were a mistake, and she later admitted it. The rest all had great size boobs that never looked huge on their frame. Who is anybody to judge?
If Taylor had come out with massive knockers, that would be a different story, a WTF moment.
Wow..that’s pretty gross to shame her for what she chooses to do with HER own body.
He is officially the lamest dude of all time
Will anyone ever look at Tommy Tiddles again without envisioning him in his I ❤️ TS shirt sliding down the Taymerica slide? I think not.
I find the detail that “Hips Don’t Lie” was playing funny because there’s a gif on tumblr of Tom saying that’s his favorite song or on his ipod or something. I’m envisioning Taylor enlisting her staff to scour the internet finding out everything about Tom including his likes & dislikes and telling them to make sure he has those things at all times.
Wait, his fav song is Hips Don’t Lie and people are surprised he went crazy for a pop princess? 😀
I think he said the song was on his iPod and there’s a gif of him saying “hips don’t lie” which was taken from the time of Avengers promo.
Hips don’t lie was a mention to his snake hips dancing… He was telling he was good in bed indirectly..
is there a man in the world who is not convinced he is gods gift to women in bed? 😉
I met one. A punk in Berlin who yelled out in the Ring bahn cart if someone wanted to have sex but warned us that he ejaculated prematurely and was not very good. Then he followed up stating he had just pissed himself.
oddly enough no one took him up on his generous offer
The other day I laughed a lot because Laurence Fox (who hates Hiddles) had a post on twitter…
“Hiddleswift..now my life is complete… ”
This coming from a guy who , as well as his wife, had real tattoos with eachother’s names…
He’s being laughed at by everyone… Haters, fans, press,,,
It must be real love, it has to be.. (sounding sarcastic)
Fox hates him? This sounds good!4
Fox, who really does not GAF and lives in the glassiest of glass houses, has always delighted in mocking poor old LEGS. He’s like the mean girl of LEGS jellus hatahs. And is funny with it!
Sixer, I think Fox really does GAF – a rather large F actually – and spends his time trying to convince the world he doesn’t. It wouldn’t be cool to appear all ambitious and grasping would it? “I’m not rich and famous because I choose not to be. It has nothing to do with no one in Hollywood wanting to hire me, or swearing at audiences in the middle of a scene.”
He makes me laugh with his bitchiness, Dara, so I don’t mind. But I do think you might be right: it could well be meta levels of uncoolness!
The guy seems to be weirdly obsessed with him. Did Tom run over his pet or something?
I think he is somewhat jealous of Hiddles success, or maybe something happened at Rada… God knows but the tweets from time to time are hilarious…
Examples: https://twitter.com/lozzafox/status/415166197970505728
But also has comments on others like one direction,,, His snark is … funny
Tom didn’t go to RADA until after Lozza (a he calls hmself) finished. He is now trying to make it as a musician/singer. This is where his gig was in the city n
near me:
http://www.bodeganottingham.com/
@spidey I know he’s a musician, I have his musics… One of them is actually my ringtone…And I loved him as James Hathaway in Lewis… Always watch the reruns,,
But there’s some sort of anymosity… which I find hilarious…
Who’s Laurence Fox? And why does he hate Hiddles? Googled it, and still don’t know.
Laurence Fox is a British actor from a storied acting family in the UK. He is/was married to Billie Piper of Doctor Who fame. For some reason, he has a giant bee up his butt about Hiddles, and goes out of his way to poke fun at him even when the topic being discussed isn’t even remotely related.
Some think it’s sour grapes since Hiddles found Hollywood fame and critical acclaim for his theater work and Fox has not, although Fox does his best to convince people he couldn’t care less about all that fame and glory nonsense. An alternate theory has something to do with Fox’s sister Lydia, who worked with Tom on a Cambridge production of Romeo and Juliet.
Not sure why he hates Hiddles, jealousy perhaps, there are only so many parts out there for public school toffs, and Hiddles and Cumberthingy seem to be hoovering them up.
Fox is a scion of the acting dynasty* which includes James and Edward Fox, he also married one hit wonder pop princess, turned actress Billie Piper.
Damn it Dara beat me to it and had better insight too.
*nepotism.
I see. Thanks. I guess James Fox doesn’t look so unfamiliar to me.
Tom has said that when he was starting out, he asked lots and lots of questions of more established actors and was very fortunate to work with people like Albert Finney and Vanessa Redgrave and Judi Dench, who were all very, very helpful, spent time with him and gave great advice but one actor was not and was a bit rude about it. I have often wondered if that was James Fox because he played his son really early in a television series episode. And the father’s annoyance, rudeness, could be passed onto the son.
where is tom hiddleton’s publiscts? his people are letting Tom to be ridiculed in this grand scale? like…the ridicules are not just from small tubmlr group and twitter. it’s like big news sites are all not buying it and questioning it and his image has really gone down the garbage but he’s still at it.. and his PR people are not advising him or Tom just doesn’t care cause the relationship really is authentic..?
Long may Tiddles continue. I’m having the time of my life keeping up w/ these two 😂
It’s glorious and I hope it continues at least all summer long. Excellent gossip that just keeps serving it up.
Am I the only one who thints taylor’s fake teeth look really bad and obvious?
Looks like whenever she had them done her overbite wasn’t corrected.
Fievel.
Taymerica? Really? Taymerica?! How much more self-centered and narcissistic can one get? That’s the kind of idea I can imagine thinking of, guffawing about, maybe sharing with my friends, “Wouldn’t it be funny if…nah” and then immediately discarding it. To actually go through with it…wow. It’s the epitome of “TRY-HARD”. Added to the “I Heart TS” t-shirt…the Instagram photos…just the whole context of everything, how desperate and needy are these peoples’ egos?
There must be a gif for this, and I’m gonna go find it, because TS just jumped the shark for good. Maybe her head could be Shopped over the still shot of Blake on the surfboard with the huge fake shark from the Shallows.
Her fans loved it all, the Taymerica water slide, the body painting, the t-shirt, the squad photos and the red white and blue onesies. In their minds, this was the perfect weekend and Taylor is the perfect friend and girlfriend.
Because they are 16 or have the mental age of 16, just like their idol and her “oldmanTom” bf.
Ps. No offence meant to the other living in reality 16 year olds, who know this is bunk.
I WOULD NEVER subject my boyfriend to wearing that shirt..unless he lost a big bet…
PLUS, didn’t we have epic for last years fourth of July with her and Calvin hugging just like that?
Hiddles has definitely made a big joke of himself in less than two weeks…SAD..yet amazing!
How about Tay trying to jump on Tom’s back for a piggyback ride in the water?
Tay tried twice, but Tom pulled away…Tay tried to recreate the Calvin pic from a year ago. Watch the video on the Daily Mail site.
Very awkward.
If you watch the vid it does look awkward and the whole group outing into the water is only a couple of minutes. When Taylor is jumping on his back its just after Blake has her legs wrapped round Ryan, it looks like she’s trying to compete.
Honestly – judging by how all of this has been going – I feel like he’s the kind of person to just start wearing it without prompting. He’s somewhere between attempting to be a troll, and eating up any attention thrown his way.
Here you go again with being logical………
I hope next time the HetreosexualPrideDay hashtag is doing the rounds in Twitter.. it is just pictures of them in these beaches.
these two have held hands more in the last 3 weeks than i have in my entire 7 year relationship with my husband.
It’s in the script.
Contract! “Physical contact must consist of at least 67% hand holding” – Section A, paragraph 3.
True. My husband and I aren’t like this, but we’ve gone on double dates with friends who are, and it’s like, ffs do I need to hold hands with my husband now so that it looks like I at least like him?
The shirt didn’t bother me nor the temporary tattoos done at the party. The “Taymerica” grosses me out. Really?
It’s tacky! Co-mingling her branding with … an entire country celebrating its declaration of independence from an oppressive colonial overlord? (before it went on to more or less become … an oppressive colonial-lite overlord) What next, Taymerica Airlines?
That part is too much, IMO. Clueless and tacky.
I thought the same about Taymerica… it was a bit over the top and while I am sure she was just having a bit of fun with it… it’s just tacky.
I just can’t look at them without an eyeroll. For Tom this is careersuicide. When they split, he will forever regret to participate on this…I don’t know what to call it.
Hiddleston was in a red white & blue jumpsuit? gawd, what a tool.
I’m having flashes of Evil Knievel in my head..

Once again, the comments don’t disappoint. I had a rough commute to work this morning and these comments put me in a much better mood.
Is that Browzy (I can’t get her name,I know she’s famous for her brows tho. Second from the right) model I spy in the top pic? I thought she went rogue and then bashed the squad or something? Am I getting people mixed up? Help!
Well spotted @bucketbot. That is indeed Cara Delthingy/Browzy, second from the right in the pic. She turns up to the opening of an envelope, and no doubt enjoyed getting pie-eyed/sloshed at Taylor’s expense. She is well known as the lesbian friend du jour, all the best parties have them.
So her film career is over then, huh? Geez, I didn’t get the chance to see her in anything. I really wanted to.
I think it has been deduced that People’s “source” was, I kid you not, a stalking fangirl who was watching the party from afar and reporting the details on Twitter. I find this HILARIOUS. I used to take People semi-seriously compared to other celebrity magazines.
For Sixer’s sake, I hope Taylor is holding on to a pic of Tom in the jumpsuit for a rainy day. One day, when they’re married with children, she’ll reveal the jumpsuit to the world. :p
Imagine if the stalker/fangirl got it wrong and Taylor slid down the slide, hand in hand with another Man.
Tom would be crushed, trouble in Paradise.
#slidegate
If she is, I WANT IT RELEASED.
I just don’t get fangirls/fanguys. Why would you ever let one single thing consume you so completely to the point you lose yourself? Why would stars court that behavior? Why did People reward it? Why??
Was it Calvin’s jumpsuit?
Yep, saw this on LSA. There are links there to the twitter account. The girl was tweeting about seeing them, hearing them and talking to a reporter from People.
Way to go with the journalism, People.
I never put much belief in what unnamed sources say, because I figure they’re usually fictional. Having the source be a real person, but someone essentially stalking her home? What the heck?!? That’s frightening on so many levels. A) The fact that someone spent their day observing her party and B) That People is encouraging such behavior and creating stories out of it. It’s mind-blowing. If you don’t have real sources, don’t report on it. Actually, I think making up sources is better than using someone like that. Makes me wonder how often they do nonsense like that. Probably pretty frequently.
If there are no pictures of them holding hands with sparklers coming out of their a$$ with Neil Diamond in the background, it didn’t happen and I demand a refund.
They certainly hold hands a lot, don’t they? I think I know the reason. Quoting an old Simpson’s episode:
“We are merely exchanging long protein strings. If you can think of a simpler way, I’d like to hear it.”
I love Kang and Kodos!
“Swift’s new boyfriend, English actor Tom Hiddleston, was decked out in red, white and blue jumpsuit and was spotted doing flips ”
Hahaha!! Please let there be photos!!! 🙂
Or it didn’t happen.
I am so disappointed that there isn’t a picture of Hiddles in a star-spangly onesie. Where art thou, paps?
A red white and blue jumpsuit.My god.This may be too much even for me.We need to organize a search party for his dignity.
Does he have any projects lined up after Thor? I know Shakespeare was mentioned, but if he hasn’t signed a contract will it still be available?
And I can’t believe that all of this juvenile posturing could be helping his career. I think his behavior at “Tayamerica” has made him even more of a laughingstock – If that’s possible. What’s next? Giving up his beloved London to move in with Tay Tay?
Mine might be the minority opinion, but I think Loki might feature more prominently in the next few films than Marvel is letting on. If so, he’ll be busy filming Thor 3 and then one or both of the next Avengers movies until at least early 2017, later than that if he’s in both parts of Avengers. Add promotion of the Monkey Movie in early 2017 and Thor 3 (if Loki is more than a cameo) in late 2017, and there isn’t much time for a lot of other work. Part of me hopes I’m wrong, and Tom has other projects lined up that haven’t been announced, but I’m not holding my breath.
I don’t see how he could do a stage play with the crazy TnT fan base descending.
During the ISTL/TNM/High Rise promotions, he was hinting very heavily that there is a return to the stage in the works.
Feige has said that Loki is in Infinity Wars, which begins filming in the fall.
Many movie, theater, and television contracts are signed long, sometimes years, before filming or performance begins and after he had several parts fall through, I think he has been careful about announcing projects too far in advance. Also, studios have great deal of say about when things go public.
Oh, Inkind of love this. It is so over the top. And honestly, I would love to play on a giant slide…#dontcarewhatyouthink
I would go down that slide too, as many times as I could get up the steps–and I’m 60 years old!
I need to see this onesie. Does it have built-in booty shorts like a romper, is it like Borat’s thong piece, is it full body?
I too feel really cheated that we have been denied this.
So basically what everyone is saying is if the celebrity doesn’t conform to what the fans’ expectations of how he/she should conduct their personal life, who they choose to date, how they express themselves; they should then be ridiculed, bullied, judged and slut-shamed. I guess all the keyboard warriors lead such perfect exemplary lives. Really why is TnT’s relationship so offensive whether it’s real or not? Looks like two people having harmless fun and enjoying each other. Why is this getting more outrage and indignation over something truly vile like… kanye’s disgusting video?
Maybe everyone agrees Kanye’s video is disgusting and is best ignored entirely so there’s not much to talk about.
I wholeheartedly think both Tom and Taylor have the right to live their lives exactly as they want to and not allow the media storm stop them from doing exactly that. Our right is to be able to talk about it, enjoy it, cringe at it etc. However the knowledge that everything you do in any public area (& privately to some extent) is going to be reported/photographed would make most mortals be somewhat cautious. Taylor has done this before, it’s her brand, none of it is anything new for her, she has lived a large part of her life in public and knows how it works. I don’t think it is a coincidence that one way or another the press keep on getting their perfect money shots, that attempt at a piggy back in the sea and then running onto the beach was a definite stand out, it sells stories and that’s why they follow her. As much as Tom is showing he is all in for the ride has she any respect for him and his integrity? Has she had that many bad boys that she wants an over eager golden retriever puppy like Tom. Will it get boring for her having him jump to her whims?
Tom has dived into her world with without any fear of the consequences. Her world to me seems like so much surface, instant gratification and wealthy celebrity excess, not like any real life I know, maybe that’s the appeal, maybe the real Taylor is much more deep and soulful. I don’t know Tom but I know more about him and I am sure this adventure is so much fun, hanging with the cool kids and being treated like a megastar all the time. I don’t doubt he is in this for real, he is too earnest and authentic. He is being himself but the thing is as he has said ‘we contain multitudes’, there are many sides of him she is possibly yet to meet, work horse Tom, flirty Tom (with other ladies), Shakespeare Tom, pretentiously eloquent intellectual Tom, Tennis Tom, I’m sure there is an angry Tom too, that steely stare and what when his ego has had it’s fill of being the smaller half of TayTo?
They are clearly still in the honeymoon phase and surpassing milestones like wildfire, which is why it is so entertaining to have this view, thankfully they are letting us watch, this is my summer box set binge.
Did you cut and paste this from your TS tumblr blog? Yikes.
Only Tumblr is offended. Everyone else is laughing.
Westie: What it means is anyone can express their opinions here, whether you agree with them or not.
Of course everyone can express their opinion! Never said they couldnt. Just can’t understand the place where these opinions come from. I really hope for TnT that if this is real, they can ignore this wholesale negative onslaught. Relationships are hard, let alone having yours ridiculed and made a joke of.
Of course relationships are hard. But if you put your relationship out there for public view, including staged pap walks, you should be prepared for any and all reactions.
Westie: They’ve MADE their relationship a joke – in a hundred different ways. We are just reacting to the stunts they are trying to sell.
They deserve every bit of ridicule coming their way. Every last molecule.
@Runswithscissors- One can express their opinion without insulting people, no?
@Ladyloo- I disagree. I don’t think they deserve to be ridiculed. People like Depp, Cosby, Chris Brown, Brock Turner, Stacy Dash. Donald Trump, Maria Sharpova, …even Kim Kardashian West (to a lesser extent) and Kayne West all deserve to be ridiculed for their behavior and/or statements.. what has either Hiddleston or Swift done that is so egregious, so damaging that it deserves this level of ridicule? Especially Hiddleston?
And you’re assuming this is a stunt and not something real.
@noname: With a relationship as blatantly public as this, I believe they have made themselves fair game for everyone’s comments.
I doubt that LEGS is reading the comments here, because I think he doesn’t give a damn. However, I’m sure there are PR people keeping a close eye on all of it.
As for me – I come for the snark, and stay for the drinks.
In any case, we can agree to disagree.
This event was after 2 weeks of staged photos – I think that is the issue a lot of Tom’s fans have issue with, he’s become a bit of a joke. Taylor’s been advertising her life like this for years.
Seen as a one-off this event is mindless fun.
So in l u v – get your onesie covered butt to Australia already Hiddleston!
Tom finally gets a new shirt – and it’s THIS.
LOL
He just gone straight into her world hasn’t he? Very strange for a 35 year old man. Does he have any close friends? Not to be mean but i am starting to believe multiple stories that he’s a very lonely man.
You raise a point I have considered, I’m sure he has friends and is close with his family but they probably all have their own lives and he has worked so hard recently that he must come home after those intense work relationships end and feel isolated. He was nicknamed Sir Lonesomalot.
To quote from his Elle interview, “I fear I am initially quite private. I’m solitary (but) I don’t think that’s a good thing, I think I’m better in company? I know that there’s this thinking capacity, which is possibly not a good thing?”
At 35 he may be looking to settle down or at least find intimacy with someone and yet hold on to his youthful attitude which this seems to be evidence of in spades.
I think with his roles in TNM, SI, and his desire for Bond, Tom has been trying to project a more macho image to improve his chances of getting more mainstream roles in the US. Well I think the t shirt pic will live on for awhile and maybe a set back for that little image makeover! Honestly I can’t wait for the Loki wearing a onesie gifs.
The reason why I’m questioning this relationship is because it just doesn’t feel organic, natural. I know, they’re different than we are, but still it’s been staged managed from the beginning ; doesn’t mean it’s not real , just off. It’s Try Hard, which always gives me the feeling of desperate and empty.
I saw these photo’s today and thought…he was in love with Tony Stark.
Where did this Swift kid come from????
LOL
I don’t care what any of you say. This looks really fun: https://www.instagram.com/p/BHfayjLA6qT/?taken-by=karliekl
If I had $300 million dollars, I would install this next to the pool on my estate right away.
I love how well Taytay is selling her “I’m over you Calvin…found a guy who finds me sexy”. But at the end of the day she’s still doing this for HIM, to get back at HIM. Scary what that means about her when there are no cameras or audience to play up to. Does Tommy boy know that this is not really about him?
Who knows what their alternative motives are, but it’s safe to say that they both have them, otherwise this relationship wouldn’t have progressed at record speed AND been splashed all over the media.
They look awkward together in those beach pics. Like nerd galore, afraid to touch body parts awkward.They said Calvin didn’t find her sexy. Have to say tho, the body language with Calvin was not THIS awkward.
Arent they both pretty awkward people, though?
Idk, these two are growing on me. I hope it lasts!
So the first official IG pic of them has just been posted. Tom in his red plaid shirt in grandpa slippers, Ryan and Blake next to them (he’s doesn’t look happy) and I think the 3rd couple is Abigail and her s other. No comment.
I love that pic because of Ryan’s face. The other two couples at least look happy, so OK for them, but how did he end up not only in the pic, but in the centre of it? Things men do for their pregnant wives 😀
Ryan’s face speaks volumes. It’s probably the most “real” thing I’ve seen associated with this warp speed romance.
Seems like Tom brought his entire wardrobe, made up of four shirts, to Rhode Island.
That picture is extremely sweet.
You should have realised by now K.C. that Tom’s wardrobe consists of 6 of the same of everything. He buys in bulk.
Not true spidey – he got himself a new shirt – suitable for swimming in the ocean
*cackling* @ browniecakes
Per the DM both Tom and Tay are wearing espadrilles in the IG.
He looks pretty cute in the pic I must say.
Saw the picture of the two of them, it softened my steely heart for a moment; thought they looked sweet. Then scrolled down to the zoomed out picture of the three couples on the same porch in similar chairs and poses and went “Eeeeeeew” out loud. New acronym, people: EOL.
WTeverlovingF? After the girl sleepover vibe yesterday, the world’s waspiest exhibitionism vibe today.
Here’s my question, and I promise I’m not trying to be snarky.
If you are rich and have a stonking big party, is it only good manners to have a professional photographer wandering about so your friends can post photos on SM without having to worry about taking their own all weekend (look how much fun we had!) or is it something that only a twenty-something pop star would think of doing?
It’s something only a Kardashian or Taylor Swift would do. It’s not a wedding or other significant event. There’s no need for a professional photographer on the grounds of manners.
It’s on the grounds of wanting to be seen.
It’s not uncommon. Not only because friends don’t have to take photos, it’s also because these photos are better than amateur ones. Just like with weddings, where a lot of people hire a professional. If you’re planning to have a video/pic memories of an event and you can afford it, a professional is always the better option.
It’s something plenty of people do for big parties, and on the frequent side if they have the money to do so. Especially if you like scrapbooking or as you said, want friends to be able to take home pics without worrying about using their phones while prancing around in the water. Clearly the professional photos are for personal use, otherwise People wouldn’t need to ask a fangirl about the goings-on at the event, lol.
It’s not uncommon in large events to have a photographer. However if it’s from Image Direct, well that would put a different spin on things.
On Tumblr is a picture of her talking to a photographer next to her on her patio while she is in her squad bathing suit. Looks like a big camera.
omg the last pic of them with the daddy in an armchair…. CAN?T STOP to LAught , thanks tiddles
and meanwhile Ryan’s expression like WTH am i doing here?
“Rescue me…help me!”
Ryan Reynolds face is EVERYTHING.
I did a genuine guffaw when i saw it
Soooo what if this was released to counter the negative comments from yesterday regarding the wardrobe miss? The pic is nice; still staged, but more comfortAble. They may have finally got it right. However what’s up with Ryan.
Still looks as staged as ever. Ryan looks uncomfortable, the non famous couple are the only ones who look somewhat normal.
OMG The latest photo of them in the armchair nuzzling for the camera for it to be published to the world is so over the top after all the other nonstop photos from the last three weeks. What is going on? I get being madly in love, but this is the showmance of the century as far as so obvious for pap attention beginning almost from their first date. They want the world involved in it. George and Amal, besides their festivities for the wedding and the over-the-top photos for the world (but at least it was a wedding), now seem tame compared to these two. Well, we didn’t really know about them for the first six months anyway, and then they went pap crazy after the engagement with all of their planned sightings.
When these two get married, it will rival the coverage of George and Amal and all the photos they sold for magazine spreads leading up to and the day of the wedding and the next day. What will they do to top them, I wonder? How do you top boating to your wedding destination in Italy? Tay-Tay probably stays up at night after Hiddles goes to sleep Googling ideas. Of course, as fame thirsty as he is being, he probably is sitting up with her at night doing their research for the wedding of the century. That’s their foreplay. LOL
Worst foreplay ever.
The comments on People magazine’s mostly positive blurb about this picture are hilarious.
Hilarious or truthful? Or both?
George & Amal and even Tom’s couch jumping seem far more normal compared to this. Yes, George/Amal had a wedding excuse, and even Tommy Boy may have just gotten caught up in the moment on TV, but THIS????
Slide looks fun, and honestly hanging out at the beach and the rest of the party sound fun too.
Ok so that was my nice part. Now for honesty. The “Taymerica” thing is gross and says everything you’d need to know about her, not to mention the “pretty” people only friend picture that is perfectly posed in matching outfits, and the “boyfriend” wearing a I heart TS tank like he is 12 not in his 30s. Taylor is egotistical, inauthentic and thirsty.
Taylor=Kayne.
I can’t post the links here, but you have to see the latest E! column and Lainey today. Also the Evening Standard is reporting Bond talks ended because of the T shirt. The. Evening. Standard.
It would be funny if it wasn’t so bloody awful.
I’m telling you guys, I’m going to be right about this. TS +CH by …Halloween.
Boo!!

The Evening Standard is citing The Sun as its source. And The Sun is using Tom’s quotes from Wizard World, which happened before any post-MET gala sightings occurred, and then claiming the relationship was the cause of both his earlier quotes and a break-down in negotiations. I never had any respect from The Sun but I expected better from The Evening Standard.
This has put things in perspective for me.

The funniest comment on that article by someone was posting a photo of Ben Affleck on a yacht rubbing suntan oil on J-Lo in her music video with the comment below it.
“Hiddles may need to get on the Batphone to Affleck to find out how this ends…”
I’ve noticed that some folks get very offended by the snark we post here toward Taylor and Tom. To some degree that’s totally to be expected: Fans never like reading rude things about their favs. But I think there’s something unique about Taylor in this regard too. She seems to inspire a visceral defensiveness in people. They feel the need to protect her.. Maybe it’s the same unconscious “must protect the blonde white girl” bias that Gwyneth Paltrow and Blake Lively have benefited from too. (Well they’ve both had male celebs jump in and defend them. They still get raked over the coals from CB posters). But Taylor differs from Blake and Gwyneth in that she herself really cultivates a victim persona. Hell I fell for it once myself back when Kanye interrupted her MTV award speech. I remember being downright appalled by his behavior and wanting to yell at him on her behalf lol. (It WAS a dickish attention whorish move on his part but in retrospect she played up her victimization for all it’s worth.) I wonder if this sweet victim thing extends to her private persona and might be part of what Tom sees in her. Calvin alluded to the idea she was a very nice, sweet “girl” if I recall correctly. Perhaps Tom is infatuated with that side of her (as well as her $ and fame). Before some Swifties come on and say “Why wouldn’t he like her? She’s smart, she’s pretty, blah blah blah” Sure she is. She’s very pretty, she has a nice body, she seems like a nice enough person, etc . But so do thousands of other women. There’s literally nothing outstanding about her at all except her $, fame and catchy song writing skills – hence a huge reason why many people side eye Tom and call him an opportunist But perhaps that perceived sweetness and vulnerability are in short supply among the women Hiddles interacts with? Just some spec.
Having said all that, she doesn’t strike me as sweet at all. (At least not in a normal way. Maybe sweet like Edie Beale sweet.) She strikes me as just…really weird. Not Michael Jackson level weird but I wonder if she’s on her way there. All that wealth and power seems to screw with people and how other people interact with the super wealthy and powerful. The pathological friendship collecting, the way she stages pictures with her beaus to mimic romantic films or eras, etc. Even her most positive attribute – the way she interacts with her fans – now strikes me as a bit weird. She seems desperate to prove something and in need of validation. I’ll believe Taylor has found true love and happiness when we DON’T see anything about her and her beau du jour. When they’re so wrapped up in each other they don’t leave their hotel room/bedroom for weeks. When there are no leaks to EOnline from Taylor sources. I’ll buy it then. This? It’s just two famewhores in infatuation.
👏🏻 Your summation is probably exactly what most people feel on this board and just about everywhere else. They have publicly opened themselves to scrutiny. If they want it to stop then THEY should stop period. Until then snark away comrades and to the others who complain about it, continue on as its everyone free will to be heard.
Thank you, Keaton. Just….thanks. Well done.
Well said, Keaton. She strikes me as someone who is in constant need of validation from others, which in turn, shouts her insecurity and lack of confidence. She’s constantly in demonstrating her (as Lainey noted yesterday) “performative happiness”…A theatrical happiness whose life force is the power of being watched.
When I can feel that someone is trying to manage my perceptions of them, I’m going to be skeptical of what they’re showing me. I’m not buying what Taylor’s selling. This is the FAKE that I’m perceiving — not TIDDLES per se, but her and how she’s marketing herself to the world.
fox news claims producer from coreolenus who is a friend of tom talked to tom and he said it wasn’t a publicity stunt, he is having fun, blowing off some steam
They didn’t say the name of this producer so that means there’s no such producer.
This is all sort of funny. Do they really need to broadcast this info? 1 of them is known to play the media and just ended a relationship so… I’m leaning to tay-tay. She wants this out there.
As far as the relationship. They just started dating… things will be awesome for a few weeks or months. No shocker.
Mildly disturbed at myself that I spent so much time researching this, but I’m an evidence-based STEM type and I noticed something odd.
For all the talk about Swift’s slide saying Taymerica on it, there is absolutely no pictorial evidence. In fact, the source report for the supposed sign slide and theme of party is the stalker fan girl People magazine used for their “article.”
In the Instagrams, NONE OF TAYLOR’S GUESTS USE THE TAG #TAYMERICA!
Not Cara, not Gigi, not Blake Lively (she does tag that group ocean shot #sisterwives, which is also a little odd.)
Fans and a guy who MAY be the pro photographer are the only people using the #Taymerica tag.
So yet again, people are attacking on the basis of something that popped up out of the fandom.
How random.
