Taylor Swift ‘is in a happy place, even though she seems like she is hiding’

Taylor Swift hides under her hoodie as she steps out with boyfriend Joe Alwyn

Here is a photo of Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn leaving her New York apartment a few days ago. It’s hard to tell what is happening, but suffice to say, the taller figure is Joe and the hooded figure behind him is Taylor Swift. Taylor has really been undercover this year, although there’s a lot of weird information about just how weird she’s getting about NOT being photographed. Like, a few weeks ago, a photo agency theorized that Taylor was able to come and go from her NYC apartment by having her security people move her around in a giant suitcase. Her rep denied it, but it sounds like something Taylor would do, right? Anyway, Joe and Taylor are still happening and they’re still undercover and to prove how undercover they are, please enjoy this E! News story full of quotes from Taylor-friendly sources:

Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn made a rare appearance together! E! News can confirm the new couple have been spending time in Rhode Island over the last few days where they paid a visit to Swift’s pals Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively. On Saturday, they headed back to Swift’s apartment in New York City where they were photographed heading off to the gym.

“They had a lot of security,” a source told us. “They loaded the cars, and after that, they snuck her out through the back. They set it up to look like she would come out through the front, but they snuck out the back.” The source continued, “[Taylor and Joe] came out very covered up in black hoodies but walked closely together. She hooked her arm around his as they got in the car…They are making a huge effort to cover her up.”

Swift has been adamant about staying out of the public eye lately, especially as she continues to build her relationship with Alwyn. A second source told us, “She is keeping a very low profile and plans on staying that way as long as she can. She is in a happy place, even though she seems like she is hiding. She is taking care of her body and is really healthy.”

As for her relationship, the insider noted, “Joe and Taylor are doing great. He is different than the other guys she has dated. He is very low-key and just a chill guy overall. They get along great and really got to know each other other over the past few months.”

In fact, they’ve both met one another’s families who we’re told “love” them together.

“Taylor is just taking extra precautionary measures in this relationship so her life is not out to the world like her past relationships,” the source explained. Another insider recently reiterated that point, telling us, “She got buried in media being on top of her life during the last relationship, so she tried everything in her power to not have that happen again. She worked very closely with her security team and management to make sure her life going forward was private. She doesn’t want the photos, the hysteria, the speculation. When she’s ready, she’ll talk about it. Don’t expect this to play out like her other relationships.”


[From E! News]

I enjoy the fact that Taylor is so consistently throwing Tom Hiddleston under the bus, like he was just out there on his own, famewhoring the sh-t out of their relationship. Like all of those photo-ops in England, in Italy, in LA, in Australia, all of those were just HIS idea. Like Taylor the Innocent had never done a boyfriend-rollout before and she wasn’t just doing the same thing she always did. Like she didn’t need to change the subject in the midst of a Summer of Receipts, which involved Calvin Harris bitching at her on Twitter and Kim Kardashian dropping those Snapchat recordings.

Anyway… JoeTay is still happening. And we won’t get clear date-night photos of them until she’s promoting her album.

    She’s starting her rollout now, and I’m honestly dreading it. This isn’t her hiding. She proved earlier this year that she can easily hide if she wanted to. You know she called the paps to get these pics, otherwise how on earth would they know she was in NYC.

    • Nicole says:

      Exactly. This IS the rollout. No one is papped in NYC unless they want to be. This isn’t LA.
      Also they met each other’s families and all the gushing is the same old Taylor. Just with a new Pr strategy. The blinds about them have been interesting so I’m keen to see how this rolls out

      • magnoliarose says:

        You have to call in LA most of the time too unless they go to a known pap haunt. This is another staged photograph to show she is hiding. Subtlety is not her strong suit.

      • vaultdweller101 says:

        What are the blind items saying about them?

  2. Dtab says:

    My eyes have rolled so far back in my head they are now at the base of my skull 🙂

  3. The New Classic says:

    He looks like a blonde just woke up Shia Lebouf in that last pic. Weird. She could probably have any guy and she chooses him?

    • WeAreAllMadeOfStars says:

      Nah. There are plenty of men who would run a country mile to get away from her and her crazy. Like most of them I think.

      • Really done says:

        Well, she has money and power in the music business so yes, a lot of men would be with her. As we have seen throughout the years, men with money and power attract lots of women. It’s no different for women with money and power attracting men.

  4. ctgirl says:

    Just a mean girl with a bank account.

    • velourazure says:

      Another brother-sister pair. I’m endlessly fascinated by people who are attracted to those who look like themselves.

      • Birdix says:

        Oh me too! And when they choose pets that look just like them too.

      • Lauren II says:

        This dude resembles Tay’s younger bro. Creepy as hell.
        Her formula always generates massive income & success, no matter how dysfunctional Tay may seem.

      • Lex says:

        That’s science!
        Most people choose people like themselves (in one way or another, not just looks) for partners.

    • Carrie says:

      Definitely.

  5. Cantwaitforthetrial says:

    I think she will lose her case against the DJ. After Kim exposed her the jury will be over “forever victim” shtick.

    • LA Elle says:

      Not a Taylor fan but let’s hope the jury looks at the actual facts and not an unrelated beef with a reality star.

      • Cantwaitforthetrial says:

        Yes at the actual facts that she is ready to lie and throw other people under the bus to make herself look good.

    • Miles says:

      I’m no Taylor fan, but this type of comment is gross. Regardless of what Taylor has done, she is actually a victim in her sexual assault case and hopefully the court/jury aren’t like you and actually look at the evidence in the case. Lainey actually had an interesting take on why Taylor has been more quiet and it has a lot to do with this case. Unfortunately for women, if they are seen as being happy and what not then that means they can’t have possibly been assaulted. So Taylor has kept a much lower profile because god forbid a woman is out seen partying and happy with her friends before a court case that revolves around her being sexually assaulted. That’s the type of world we live in.

      • Cantwaitforthetrial says:

        I’m said nothing about partying and having fun. The truth is that Taylor is a proven liar who is only obsessed with her image and money. I’m not a fan of Kanye but he was wronged by her and her rabid fans.

      • Miles says:

        What does Kanye West have to do with Taylor Swift being sexually assaulted by a radio DJ?

      • WeAreAllMadeOfStars says:

        Yeah right. She’s been quiet because it’s the PR strategy for her latest album rollout after the summer of wacky overexposure. She even said it to Kanye on the tape: “I am THIS CLOSE to being overexposed.” She’s known her game was burning out for awhile now and this is what it’s come down to. Taylor wouldn’t just ruin the trajectory of her wonderfulness and her fan connection for a trial. She just wouldn’t.

      • Cantwaitforthetrial says:

        “What does Kanye West have to do with Taylor Swift being sexually assaulted by a radio DJ?”
        Kanye West is a victim of Taylor’s lies and was attacked by her and publicily lied on. Kim proved that Taylor is not a truthworthy person. And jurors will take it into consideration.

      • Miles says:

        You still didn’t answer the question. What does Kanye West and what happened then have to do with Taylor Swift’s case in regards to her sexual assault? This reminds me of when Amber Heard said Johnny Depp abused her and everyone in these comments sections brought out the pitchforks and said that it cant be because she is a gold digger. In that case, Amber can be a gold digger AND be physically abused. Just like in this case, Taylor can be an awful person AND be sexually assaulted.

        This is why folks like Bill Cosby are set free. Women are always held to a weird standard and their pasts are always brought up, while their abusers get off.

      • Cantwaitforthetrial says:

        “You still didn’t answer the question. What does Kanye West and what happened then have to do with Taylor Swift’s case in regards to her sexual assault?”
        Snakegate proved that she always lies and will never admit that she is in wrong unless somebody exposes her. Jurors will consider her moral character in the process.

      • Lightpurple says:

        First, you are wrongly assuming that the jury even heard of what you call Snakegate. Second, you wrongly assume that if they had, they could rely on it without it being part of the court record, they can’t. Third, if the DJ were to introduce it to rebut Taylor, he would need the unedited version with something from whoever recorded it to certify it hasn’t been edited and that person is NOT named Kim Kardashian West and that actual unedited recording may sound very different from what you heard.

        I also find it troublesome that you are so in favor of a man who sexually assaulted a woman. The radio station believed it had enough to terminate him.

      • jetlagged says:

        @lightpurple, knowing your legal education far surpasses mine, I almost hesitate to bring this up since I fully expect you to wipe the floor with me (be gentle), but I believe your last sentence is exactly why the DJ sued Team Swift in the first place. His assertion is that Team Swift threatened the radio station with retribution unless they fired him, and their investigation was practically nonexistent so they wouldn’t really have cause beyond the information provided by Swift.

        I’ve been wondering if his tortious interference claim can still be advanced if the jury finds the claims of sexual assault to be true? Do they decide all cases – his suit and her countersuit – simultaneously, or will they be deliberated separately? Can he be found to have committed the assault and yet also win his case?

      • Lightpurple says:

        @jetlagged, much of what you are asking is procedural, which varies based on jurisdiction. He’s alleging they had nothing else on him but that might not be true. I find employees often claim to be innocent angels until you pull their personnel folder and discover earlier suspensions for stuff like punching a manager or setting fire to the staff room. Both could win and both could lose

      • jetlagged says:

        It’s going to be an interesting case to follow. I thought the DJ was sketchy as hell, until I read exactly how his firing went down, and I felt some sympathy for him. Then again, his story definitely painted him as favorably as possible. When I saw the leaked photo from that night, I did another 180. But it’s also not a stretch for me to believe that Team Swift used undue pressure to get the guy fired. They have a history playing hardball in order to protect their asset. I’ve changed my mind so much I think I would make a horrible juror.

        Did someone really set fire to a staff room? Lord knows I’ve wanted to on occasion, but the only time I came close was an unfortunate microwave popcorn incident a few years ago.

      • Lightpurple says:

        @jetlagged, yes, set the toaster oven and a radio on fire. Then sued. I can’t believe the stuff people think they can do at work – but it keeps me employed

      • Tiffany :) says:

        The guy grabbed her butt up her skirt. How can you defend that? There are photos of it happening.

        When your hate for a celeb goes to the point that you are willing to root for the sexual assaulter, it is time to take a step back and re-evaluate.

      • jetlagged says:

        Just to play devil’s advocate, it’s one photo, not photos plural, and it’s hardly definitive proof – you can’t see where exactly his hand is or isn’t. Sexual assault is a serious allegation, far more serious than the claims he has made against Swift and her team, and I’m trying to keep an open mind about the guy until he actually has his day in court.

        I’m also trying to keep an open mind about how Team Swift reacted and whether or not they might have strong-armed the radio station into firing someone on their say-so alone. If I thought my daughter had been groped, I probably would have acted the same way – but that doesn’t mean I would have the legal right to do so.

      • Neo says:

        EXCELLENT point about the sexual assault and the world we live in. She may be a mean girl, bit she’s still a girl, and on some level, she has to deal with the same crap all women have to deal with.

    • Millenial says:

      I think the DJ definitely did what he’s accused of. First, we have Taylor’s word on it (I believe her). Second, he destroyed a bunch of evidence (laptop, phone, an iPod) which had a phone conversation he recorded with his boss after the fact, and only made him look more guilty in my book. We can not like Taylor for various reasons and still believe some gross DJ tried to use his power to take advantage of her.

      • jammypants says:

        There was even a picture showing he touched her inappropriately. I’m no fan, but I think she’s an actual victim here.

      • LA Elle says:

        Call me cynical, but I also don’t know how this case helps her public image. If anything, it’s a distraction from her career and goes against how she brands herself – perfect Instagram world does not have such headaches as assault and harassment.

    • Oh-Dear says:

      She’s no more a liar than most celebrities cultivating an image. Many manage the information that gets out there, and always have. Taylor happened to go up against someone with nothing to lose, and who had an edited tape that released only what she wanted released. Being ‘transparent’ aligns with Kim’s brand, and it worked in her and Kanye’s favour for her to expose Taylor. But these aren’t the type of conversations that unique to her. I do hope she stops with the blind item songs, and just sings them and admits they were inspired by her own experiences with no hidden agenda.

    • Lightpurple says:

      In the world of juries and facts, Kim put forth something that could never be used in a court and proved nothing other than the fact that Kim somehow had a heavily edited recording that she herself couldn’t verify as authentic. What works in gossip does not always work in a courtroom. And I have no use for either woman.

      • Cantwaitforthetrial says:

        But it’s a fact that she lies all the time. And there is no phot of DJ actually touching her. So stop making excuses.

      • Lightpurple says:

        Your “fact that she lies all the time” would need to proven and no, that heavily edited tape doesn’t prove anything as far as courts are concerned. You can even hear the SPLICING!

    • Scout says:

      No she won’t.

  6. Shirurusu says:

    Man this girl does not know how to do balance, she’s either daily in your face photo opps with props (I still remember the swan!!) or hiding like she’s caught leprosy or something. All very weird :/

  7. Giggs says:

    Still looks like they’re brother and sister to me…way different than looking similar to/like you ‘go with’ your partner. Creeps me out, but it’s probably a symptom of her narcissism. Yeeeesh.

    • Fleur says:

      I think they look EXACTLY the same. As in: I’ve never seen a man and woman who aren’t related who look that much alike. The proportions of his face, the shape, jaw, nose, mouth, coloring. They look more alike than every TV show casting of a brother/sister pair I’ve ever seen. Way more alike looking than the GOT cersei/jamie Lanister actors. I just watched an interview with him though, and I can see why she’s with him. His voice is super sexy, and he has an energy which doesn’t come across in photos. In interviews he reminds me of a Hemsworth brother.

  8. Miss M says:

    in the meantime, Hiddleston is actually the one living a private life.

    • jammypants says:

      Exactly and I’d add not hiding but working.

    • Kate says:

      Can we please stop bringing him up in relation to her?! It’s been a year.

      • WeAreAllMadeOfStars says:

        Don’t you talk about relationships on their anniversary? 🙂

      • Kate says:

        Lol

      • Jane says:

        Lainey brought it up in a post the other day, and Taylor is obviously trying to push the private narrative with these pics, to throw Hiddleston under the bus.

        So sorry but unfortunately it will still get discussed, that’s why I don’t understand why any guy in his right mind would date – or faux-date her.

      • jammypants says:

        Her narrative would have worked, if only pesky Hiddles would cooperate by showing himself. Only, he isn’t. He’s working and not screaming for attention.

      • justme says:

        @jammypants – yeah he’s really ruining the narrative isn’t he? Quiet as a mouse – even at Comic Con. And as for his private life – who has a clue?

      • Jane says:

        Exactly, he’s doing what people in the public eye do if they want a private life, not calling the paps.

      • Valois says:

        Lainey also brings it up because she doesn’t like him I think and (imo) tends to be pretty irrational when it comes to people she doesn’t like.
        See: Evans, Chris and Slate, Jenny.

    • OhDear says:

      Speaking of Hiddles, she certainly chose an interesting time (read: after he appears at ComicCon) to release this story.

  9. paranormalgirl says:

    Like she didn’t involve the media in her last relationship(s). She is getting tiresome.

    • Jane says:

      That’s why her behaviour, and new narrative, is so obvious.

      • jetlagged says:

        Exactly. Taylor’s newfound love of privacy has nothing to do with her doing a little self-reflection and realizing she doesn’t really like being in the spotlight, and everything to do with how the general public reacted to her in-your-face antics of the last several years. This is not about growth or maturity, it’s about image. As all things usually are with her.

  10. Miles says:

    Okay but did her and Joe take couple pictures with Ryan and Blake? If so, when do we get to see these photos. Come on Taylor….give us another iconic couples pictures like you did last year.

    Also is it just me or does he look like Calvin Harris with the hood over his head?

  11. jammypants says:

    I’m sure Taymerica was Tom’s idea too, and the available tour merch, and the body tats everyone had on, and the inflatable slides, and the public beach entry, and the non stop Instagram posts.

    • WeAreAllMadeOfStars says:

      Dude, that was just some stalker guy that kept after her until he closed in. She had no choice but to follow his demands by giving him that t-shirt and taking a world tour with him. Didn’t you see her blink twice at the cameras while visiting the Colosseum?

      • jammypants says:

        I think she was just learning Morse code at the time so no one caught the hints..until it was too late.

      • Lightpurple says:

        Clearly, we all misinterpreted Ryan Reynolds’s KILL ME NOW look. It was Tom holding him hostage, even putting a pregnant woman on top of him so he couldn’t escape

  12. Cantwaitforthetrial says:

    I sadly don’t know how court system in America works, but hope that there will be some sort of cross-examination. Because it’s the only way to get truth out of her. Or maybe she will lie under oath too.

  13. Sullivan says:

    Maybe she’s realized that constantly being in the public eye sucks after all. Lay low. Live a full life out of the limelight as much as possible until it’s mandatory to be up in our faces to promote a new album.

  14. Alisha says:

    I’m not a Taylor or Tom fan but it seemed to me that he had no qualms about joining into her press stunt until it backfired.

    Also I agree with miles, maybe the lower profile has to do with her case and I think it’s ridiculous to equate the Kimye situation with it.

    • Lol says:

      Yes it has to do with her case. She cares about public opinion and knows that Kim’s exposure of her will influence final verdict.

      • Lightpurple says:

        Sorry but I’m an attorney and can think of no circumstance in which anything involving Kim Kardashian or Kanye West would factor into this case. You’re wrongly assuming an entire jury and judge even know who they all are

    • Miles says:

      I honestly have no idea if that’s why shes kept a really low profile. I read it on Lainey and it made sense to me. And the reason why it makes sense is because we all know that if pictures of Taylor surfaced of her having a blast with her friends, then the DJ’s defense team would use those pictures against Taylor. I brought it up above, but it’s like when Amber Heard was seen out smiling with friends after she accused Johnny Depp of physical assault and a lot of people were like “But if she got assaulted then why is she out with her friends and being happy?” It would be the same thing here. “If Taylor was actually sexually assaulted, then why would she be out happy with her friends right before her trial? Why isn’t she home being upset?”

      This is the way our society treats women.

      • Lol says:

        She will lose because of her constant under-bus-throwing and lying. People remember her cringeworthy speech about Kanye at Grammys and later exposure of her by Kim.

    • jammypants says:

      I think the point Kaiser was making is Taylor is trying to absolve herself completely of blame for the “tour of love” by putting it completely on Tom, but there were no signs of him dragging her kicking and screaming to partake in the showmancing. Basically it was consensual, but she’s angling for the victim routine (once again).

  15. TaylorSwiftExposed says:

    Why people are still making excuses for her? When she is a white rich privileged woman who threw a POC under the bus for popularity?

    • Lightpurple says:

      Nobody is making excuses for her. What people are doing is rightly pointing out that whatever happened with Kanye West or Kim Kardashian is irrelevant to the DJ’s lawsuit and that recording you think is so wonderful is inadmissible in any court. Even if the DJ were to try to use it to rebut her credibility, he would have to get the real, unedited tape from the original source or establish a chain of control, not put forth that edited thing Kim used.
      And whatever wrongs you think she may have done or whatever she actually did, nobody has any right to put hands on a woman’s ass without her consent. EVER. No matter who the woman is or what she has done.

      • Millie says:

        Yeah, no one has a right to do that to a white woman is what this country proves time and time again. Like I am tired of reading statements that are essentially the ideal type but in no way reflect reality. Like somehow all women are seeing as equal when we are not and this needs to be addressed.

        Get back to me once you have talked to a few WOC and see how exactly the court systems treat them. It may not be the same Country but read up on how the courts further victimized an Aboriginal woman named Cindy Gladue in Canada. Read how the white man who raped and mutilated her got away with it and how the courts put her mutilated genitalia on display to further dehumanize her as a non-white woman.

        Taylor Swift did do wrong. I am a black woman and I will never make light or excuse how she is allowed to get away with the perpetuating idea of black men and their hypersexualized violence towards white women. Yesterday would have been Emmett Tills 75th birthday, I don’t think this is the time to be ignoring how her comments against Kanye were framed or that she wouldn’t have known exactly how society would take them.

      • Kelly says:

        Millie perhaps I am not understanding the point you are trying to make. Please explain because to me it seems like you are saying that due to the Kanye situation and the fact that she is white, Taylor Swift should not prevail in her lawsuit.

      • Lightpurple says:

        @Kelly, she also seems to be saying that she deserves to be sexually assaulted and anyone who says otherwise is somehow a hypocrite

    • dave says:

      Time and place Millie please.

      • Millie says:

        I think the time and place are perfect. I think I will continue on exposing the hypocrisy of white feminism. Thank you

      • magnoliarose says:

        Taylor Swift’s case has nothing to do with Kanye or anything else but a man touching a woman without permission. Nothing more than that. You are merging two separate issues.

      • lightpurple says:

        Millie, that may be what you THINK you are doing but you are basically saying that it is okay with you that women are sexually assaulted.

  16. MI6 says:

    Thank you, Kaiser. Finally someone is publicly cutting through 🐍 BS.
    TH was used to deflect bad press, plain and simple. Dis he cooperate? Yes. But I maintain he believed she really liked him and went along for the wild ride. And suffered the consequences.
    Bonzo, you’re up.

    • Lightpurple says:

      And ended it rather quickly. Didn’t even last 3 months and barely saw her after all the Snapchat and Twitter craziness started

      • justme says:

        Yes we are fast approaching the year’s anniversary of the last time they were photographed together – July 28. From all that can be gathered, it did not last very long after he went back to Australia – mid-August it was over.

  17. Madly says:

    Why do we have to know about it?
    And she has not been undercover. We know too much about what she has been up to. We know even less about what is going on with Tom.

    • Lightpurple says:

      Yes, she could take lessons on how to disappear from the guy she keeps trying to portray as a famewhore.

    • jammypants says:

      I love how her PR also added in that she’s in good shape. It proves they do read what people say, which is, people thought she gained weight. Reminds me of last year when they slipped into E! that she did not get a boob job. It’s au naturel. I don’t get why admitting it is even a bad thing, but Queen Perfect would never admit she had enhancements.

      • jetlagged says:

        That part jumped out at me too. As did a line from another article (the Sun?), that said she’s the “most desirable woman in the world”. She wishes.

      • jammypants says:

        And “on top of her life”. Calvin and Kim buried her last year. Since Tom doesn’t put up a fight, he’s an easy target. She’s trying to bury her own PR kerfuffle last year by moving on with the “Tom used me” narrative. If she tried to pick a fight with Kanye or Calvin again, it won’t bode well for her. She only kicks those who are down.

    • Lola says:

      She pretends to be “private” to shade Tom. There is no need for people to know about her “new private relationships”.

  18. Mary says:

    So if she flaunts her relationship, she is horrible and if she doesn’t flaunt her relationship, she is horrible. For once I am on her side, the girl can’t win no matter what she does.

    • MI6 says:

      Because she’s spent too much time playing the victim and blaming others. You can’t come back from that unless you own your sh*t.

      • jammypants says:

        You’d think she’d quit being victim after last year, but nope, she made herself a victim to the big bad meanies:
        Calvin Harris, Tom Hiddleston, and Kanye West.

    • Jane says:

      Because she’s a narcissist and this is obvious by her behaviour. She plays the victim, always blames others for her mistakes, she’s petty and creates feuds all centred around herself.

      She sells her private life for publicity, it backfires and throws the guy under the bus saying he’s a famewhore.

      She then sells a private narrative, stories being dropped and being papped with a hoodie on, completely contadicting the whole “private” schtick she’s trying to sell – if she was so private she wouldn’t be papped in the first place.

    • Lightpurple says:

      But she IS flaunting her relationship. All these stories about how private she is include statements from sources that she is using to release this info and control her “oh so private” narrative.

      • jammypants says:

        If she is private we wouldn’t even know “the parents love them together”. These bread crumbs are so obvious.

    By the way – how did the paps know that she was about to emerge from her flat? One of her fans was visiting NYC and ventured down to view her apartment. She saw a number of paparazzi arriving – more and more as time went by, so she stuck around. They waited about 15 minutes and then ran to the other door where she emerged. So how did they know the exact time?

    • Jane says:

      What a coincidence! Why didn’t she go out the back entrance, as it mentions in the article.

      • Bookworm says:

        The paparazzi were posted at both. There isn’t a private garage like she had at the rental.

      • Jane says:

        OK, that makes more sense. Doesn’t explain how the paps knew when she was coming out though as Justme pointed out.

    • jammypants says:

      And if she’s so private, why did her PR reveal she’s been using the back entrance or wore wigs and disguises in London? You don’t give the game away if you want to keep secrets. You keep it up. But that’s not what she wants. She wants everyone to know but make it look like her hands are clean.

      • Madly says:

        She also gets more attention with her connection to Tom than she does about Joe. Nobody cares about Joe. Tom gets more clicks and more comments. This is also why she is still using Tom for attention.

      • May says:

        None of that is true. Tabloids makeup lies. She does not need tom is any man for attention. She got more UNWANTED attention with tom. That entire relationship was a public nightmare. Clearly she does not miss that if she did all she needs to do is go full on public with joe and she’d have more attention then hiddleswift ever got. Hiddleswift got attention because they traveled the world it had nothing to do with tom. Any man in his place would have gotten just as much press.

        Clearly people care about Joe, y’all up in here pressed and discussing umbrella pics. Meanwhile the sights throw toms name in to piss of his insecure fan base. Taylor has not mentioned his name. Tom fans need to step back and stop falling for the clickbait. Until you stop reacting tabloids will throw his name in because they know you are stupid enough to really think its Taylor talking.

      • Madly says:

        @may looks like I struck a nerve. It is true. She by herself is boring. No one would pay her any attention if it were not for the men she dates and the songs she writes about them. Little miss pretend feminist has always needed a man to be relevant and for sales. Sorry boo.

        And if she did not need tom, then why are her people still using his name? And betcha there is a song about him. Because she needs him to sell albums. Joe could be anyone else. Nobody cares because he is a nobody in the business. Tom is freaking LOKI.

      • jammypants says:

        @Madly, ditto. Her pap pics couldn’t even ping on the media radar. Comic Con is HUGE and every media outlet covered it all weekend. It’s cute that she thinks gracing us with her papped presence with her beau would make people give a crap. It’s funny she hasn’t been sighted for a while and gets papped near the weekend of Comic Con where Tom makes a long awaited public appearance to promote work. Her first set of photos didn’t get picked up by any major outlet this past weekend. The second set finally got minor attention after the first failed.

      • Jane says:

        @May you’re obviously a fan, and I agree she doesn’t need a man for attention. So why does she do it, why not stay single.

      • May says:

        @jane She is single. She is dating like any single woman would. Why are you so pressed that she dates? Are one of the men she’s dated your husband or something? If not then her dating life is none of your business. She clearly doesn’t care. Do you police Jlo for dating or any other single woman?

      • magnoliarose says:

        Sorry May but that is false. She chose Tom because he was hot and his star was rising. She keeps grabbing these guys for fake relationships to make her look better than she is.

      • jammypants says:

        @magnoliorose, pretty much. If her team has to constantly claim she is “one of the most desirable women in the world”, then it’s not exactly true is it? She’s known for being a sex appeal killer if anything. Her mere connection with the men she dates neuters their appeal.

      • Natasha says:

        She’s not single, she’s with Joe whatisface obviously.

    • May says:

      @magnoliarose nope, she was dating Calvin so she did not go after tom. Tom was the single one. He also dated Elizabeth Olsen right after her engagement ended. He is not all innocent here. Elizabeth claimed he contacted her to stunt date back in March of this year. He was too late because she also has a new boyfriend. Hopefully someone will be willing to date tom so his fans can move on. He’s such a good catch and all (says his fans). But Elizabeth and Taylor both exited quickly and both are currently in far longer rs.

      • Madly says:

        @may, what does EO have anything to do with anything? She denied they were even dating, so did he.

        It seems you are the only one who is pressed around here and it is funny!

      • jetlagged says:

        “Elizabeth claimed” Um, no. A tabloid claimed that. You can’t say stories about Taylor are being invented and then turn around and use one about another celeb as fact in order to bolster your argument.

      • May says:

        They dated. He contacted her to stunt and not only did she decline the very next day she went on a pap stroll with her new boyfriend laughing. Looks like tom has far more issues then Taylor swift. Stunt or not Taylor no longer wanted to stunt with him. Move on. Clearly tom can’t even keep a fake gf longer then six weeks.

      • May says:

        @jettlagged exactly a tabloid claimed that tom contacted Elizabeth to stunt. The fact that she went on a PAP stroll with her new boyfriend the very next day sort of makes it seem very very true. Tom never denied it, because you cannot deny the truth. Funny how the only tabloid stories that are fact are if they involve Taylor. Anyway I’m out you deluded tom fans are just too much. No wonder he cannot keep a woman.

      • Madly says:

        @may, lol. Look who is full of conspiracy theories without proof now! You are leaving because you have nothing. Bye Felicia!

      • MI6 says:

        Enjoy the Kool Aid, May.
        And “you cant deny the truth?” 🐍 does is all the time.
        😂

      • Jane says:

        Wow you’ve really gone off the deep end.

        Btw I don’t give a flying toss who Taylor dates, I feel sorry for anyone associated with her.

      • lightpurple says:

        @May, proof that Elizabeth claimed such a thing, please. They have to work together so doubtful either one of them is saying such things about the other. Also, I doubt anything any of us post here or elsewhere has any impact on anyone’s relationship with anyone else.

      • May says:

        @lightpurple. Duh, tom and Lizzy working together is all the more reason they would stunt together. TS needs tom for nothing. This woman made $170m in a single year and was the #1 celeb because SHE toured relentlessly. She did the fan meet and greets. She did it without canceling a single show. Many artists can not even complete a full concert tour without backing out ala kanye west and Justin bieber just to name a few. Taylor had been number one in the music industry several times before she even looked at tom and will be #1 again as soon as she puts out new music. Tom and Lizzy don’t know that kind of success and would need a stunt far more then Taylor e er would. Sorry if the truth hurts. Bravo to Lizzy for declining his latest stunt request. She is likely looking for something real.

        BTW, tom did almost an entire GQ interview discussing Taylor when he was promoting his Kong movie. She is promoting NOTHING right now if anyone has used that rs thus far it has been tom.

      • Madly says:

        @may, oh are you and your crazy back? I thought you left. Looks like you just HAD to have the last word, even if it is nonsense. When will swifties learn that they are not as smart as Huddleston fans? Bye bye, go sing your tales in tumblr.

      • lightpurple says:

        @May, that is NOT what you originally claimed at all, nor was it my point. You claimed that Olsen SAID that to journalists. My point is that two people who are working with one another would NEVER say such a cruel thing to a journalist and expect to maintain a professional relationship. And I asked YOU for a link or source. You provide neither and now twist what you claimed. You aren’t telling truths, dear.

        Sure, an ENTIRE article, from an interview last winter, well, except for the several paragraphs about Bolognese, Barack Obama, Kenneth Branagh, Moana, The Rock, Matt Damon, Fassy and Chiwetel Ejiofor, porridge, his mother’s view of cursing, tea, the movie Heat, Tom Hanks, impressions of Tom Hanks, impressions of the interviewer, his family, work ethic, prep work for Kong, Planet Earth II, experts. fake news, two sentence about her in response to a question, two sentences about the tank top in response to a question, and quite a bit more about media reaction to the tank top, All the rest of the article is the author’s views about it, not anything he actually said but sure, he’s exploiting your beloved Taylor from wherever he has been for the past four months.

        ETA: “Elizabeth claimed he contacted her to stunt date back in March of this year.” May’s quote from above for which she provides no source and changes the subject when asked for one.

      • May says:

        Light purple she did say it through tabloids. All you need to do is google Tom Hiddleston and Elizabeth Olsen and it all comes up. First article was from radaronline on March 17. Then on March 20th pictures of her all smiling with her bf were posted on dailymail. Then on March 26 the National Enquirer posted sources saying “Frankly, it was karmic payback — he got dumped by Taylor just like he dumped Elizabeth!” dished a source to The National ENQUIRER.”

        More quotes “Now pals believe Tom’s seen the error of his ways. He knows he was a fool for ending what they had together to chase after Taylor.

        “Tom desperately wants to wash the bad taste out of his mouth when it comes to Taylor,” spilled the insider.

        And while Tom’s been begging Elizabeth to take him back, friends said the ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ beauty prefers to stay in the ‘friend zone’ for now.

        “She still has a warm place in her heart for him, but he has a lot of work to do to win her back,” added the spy.

        Is that enough proof for you? If you believe all the Taylor sources then Elizabeth did the same thing only imo, this is worse cuz she threw the guy in his face mere days later. Point PROVEN! I really believe this because after tom did that GQ interview he was flooded with Taylor questions. When he learned she would not take him back he contacted Liz and we see how it all played out. That is why I call you all out for bullying Taylor for no reason at all when you have no proof yet that she plans on ever mentioning him much less using him now. She has zero reason to use him.

        The tabloids are using him to rile up his fan base for extra clicks. They know you guys are obsessed with Taylor. You’ve been here all day so why would they stop throwing toms name in? Ignore it, they will stop eventually.

      • lightpurple says:

        Oh, May. You keep changing your story. That does not support your claim at all. You also said you weren’t coming back. And no, I am not obsessed with your beloved Taylor.

      • Jane says:

        @May you are uninformed and don’t understand that tabloids and gossip publishing is not homogenous ie radaronline is click bait crap.

        FYI there’s 2 tier with tabloids: People, US Weekly, ENews, DM et al – then the drated sites like Hollywoodlife and radaronline who usually pick up stories and drag them out for sales/clicks. You can tell when a celeb’s pr are dropping stories by the profile of the publication, POV, and – like the ENews one above – how positive it is about its subject.

        Likewise you can tell the story is crap if it’s published in a drated publication/website like radaronline or the National Enquirer (though to confuse matters both of those are owned by the same co and sometimes the NI does get a story right).

        Lizzie Olsen and Tom have used tabs in the past, correct. Lizzie’s pr has used US Weekly, and Tom’s the DM.

        Taylor however because of her profile and PR strategy is on a different level – go and look at all the high profile tabloid stories and pap pics with her and Harry Styles for example. The ENews piece above is no different, as her MO in the past.

      • Natasha says:

        @May Radaronline is a pile of clickbait crap.

  20. Browniecakes says:

    The pressure on her to come up with a new hit album must be amazing.

  21. Hrvatima says:

    I think if the defense is a Kardashian “exposed” her for being a liar…I like her chances…have you been introduced to the everything is natural, never photoshopped all on the up and up Kardashians? Or are you new?

  22. May says:

    The relationship is private in that you barely see them. Clearly they don’t mind people knowing they are together but they are not out there flaunting it. That is what private means and she had to admit they were dating because there was a group of hiddleswifties who kept on saying she was still seeing tom and they only stopped after she revealed who she was truly sneaking to London to see. Were it not for those hiddleswifties she likely would not have even publicly admitted to dating anyone but she had no choice. She has still managed to keep it relatively on the low.

    • Jane says:

      Looks like someone believes her pr schtick.

      Why has she not been papped for months until recently, just when her arch rival Katy Perry is doing promo. Doubtful it’s to do with a handful of crazy shippers on tumblr.

      Why all these details about the oh so private rs dropped to enews and other gossip sites? More likely to push this new private narrative, to deflect the backlash of last summer.

      This is not private – looking like you’re trying too be private, dropping details to gossip sites about your new rs, is not the same as actually having a private life – read the 2 comments at the top of the page, no one gets papped NYC unless they want to, not even TS.

      • May says:

        Jane give it a rest. We get it you are an obsessed hater. I am using commonsense here. The hiddleswifties were over the top terrible. They were tracking her and spreading lies to further the tom ship. That in turn made his fans pissed. Now his fans are still pissed that she dare have another boyfriend. Meanwhile she is doing her thing. Two single young people dating.

      • Madly says:

        Bingo but she is getting outplayed by Tom who fulfilled his contractual obligations quietly and disappeared for the anniversary date. He may have been naive when he got into the pr stuff with the snake, but he has learned from it and is laying even lower than she is. I don’t care what a Canadian gossip blogger is trying to sell. Tom has been more quiet than she has been outside of work obligations. And that will continue till he has to stump Thor and then it will be a moot point by then. Too much time will have passed, even if she drops an album a month later.

      • Lightpurple says:

        @May, I’m one of his fans. I was glad when it ended. I never tracked her and thought it creepy when her fans did. I’m not pissed that she has a new boyfriend. Please don’t generalize about people

      • justme says:

        I don’t know any one of her fans who is pissed off that she has a new boyfriend. When Joe Alwyn was revealed a few months ago every TH fan that I know of was relieved that the Hiddleswift shippers finally had to admit defeat. What we don’t like is that the narrative coming out from TS is that Tom was “in love with her for the wrong reasons” that he was fame hungry and was using her. As soon as the Alwyn romance was revealed that same narrative which had been sent out last September to all the gossip mags was repeated and has been repeated over and over – and never denied by her PR folks.

    • Madly says:

      Aww that is cute, someone has to buy this crap I guess. Lol

    • magnoliarose says:

      May people who are staying out of the limelight aren’t heard of by sources or anything. It is very possible for famous people to stay out of sight and have a full life. They do it all of the time. She likes to pretend she is more sought after than she really is. The days of Paps chasing people down are over. If you want to believe the lies then fine but some of us see through her mask.

  23. Juliaoc says:

    “She is taking care of her body and is really healthy.”

    What a weird press release.

    • May says:

      Its not a press that is tabloid bull. None of that came from Taylor.

      • Madly says:

        Hi Taylor, nice of you to slum with us. Lol

      • mar_time says:

        Drop it May, we’re all adults here and know how she operates. It was HER fans that tracked her plane, just like its her fans that still believe the false narrative she sells them. She’s no victim, she’s only a manipulative liar (I’m not talking about her case against the DJ here, I don’t know anything about that FYI)

      • Juliaoc says:

        Oh, @May! Bless your little heart!

        If all of the information written is positive, it’s a calculated press release. Rest assured, Ms. Swift [and her PR team] were very involved in crafting every word her “source” said about her.

    • jammypants says:

      It’s her response to people noticing she gained weight.

  24. Scout says:

    He’s not a looker, is he?

  25. MM says:

    She should stay hidden.

  26. seesittellsit says:

    She met Hiddles’ family, too, remember? She was “in a happy place” with Hiddles, too, remember? She was “sure he is the one and Tom is seriously considering proposing” (said sources close to the couple, of course) – remember?

    The woman is a pathological narcissist, and those are never “in a happy place” with anyone the moment that someone steps out of line.

    Oh, she’s taking care of her body? You mean she wasn’t last year? The new boobs, the trips to the gym – that’s all since Alwyn came on the scene?

    Ah – perhaps we’ll get Labor Day this year instead of July 4th for a first loved up sighting by the paps.

    To quote the late, great Sylvia Plath’s “Lady Lazarus”, “I eat men like air.”

    Good luck, Joe.

  27. worthy says:

    Taylor Swift was another victim of Trump’s hijacking of the media’s attention. I haven’t missed her.

  28. ValM99 says:

    Taylor being gone has been so nice. No annoying and shady interviews. No playing victim on everything. No generic and bad live performances. She’s trying to so hard to come off as secretive, to create attention so that people start talking. This girl will not fool me. She is the most caculated women in the industry.

  29. Marcus says:

    She is SO TRANSPARENT. The line “she is taking care of her body” – how stupid do they think people are? It clearly means we should brace ourselves, as she is going to reveal a “new look” aka another new surgically enhanced body part, and claim that she’s been working out. Just wait. Taylor Swift is the only person on the planet who can be “hiding out” and still manage to annoy everyone, despite also being the blandest person ever. What an enigma (insert eye roll)

    • Parigo says:

      Yup, I vote for a fuller rear. Then she’ll claim it was because of squats.

      • Marky Mark says:

        Exactly! After the flat butt fiasco wiTh Diplo on Twitter, I think she’s hiding, got larger butt implants, and will reveal them soon as a result of “exercise”. She was already wearing butt pads before she started hiding. Too bad NO ONE is stupid enough to believe her if she tries to fool us about anything body related.

  30. Tim H says:

    She is so unappealing. Just wait for her to go on a media tour talking about her “year away from the spotlight” and bla blah blah. Milquetoast.

  31. Benny says:

    I was in a “happy place” when I didn’t have to see pics Taylor Swifts Napolean-Dynamite-looking face (I cringe when I see closeups of her) or hear any so called “news” about her. I vote for her to stay hidden.

  32. Monsi says:

    Taylor and her performative privacy.
    She’s so private, has changed so much and yet the same old pr tricks: inside sources telling us, once again, that *this* relationship is so special and different from the previous ones and throwing the most recent ex under the bus. We can’t deny how consistent she and her pr team are.

  33. Yenta says:

    Joe Alywn is going to be very unpopular. I hope he’s not trying to catch his “big break” at fame from this relationship, because hanging around with this dorky woman is not going to win him any favors, despite her fame. He will become a joke by association. And she gives off that wholesome, cardboard asexual vibe, so I don’t see the attraction here. If this is a PR thing, it’s failing miserably on both sides.

  34. Taylorwilllosetrial says:

    Too much snake apologists here. Sometime I think she pays them to invade every comment section to defend her. I saw the same line of defense about partying and trial on LaineyGossip. Hi Lainey! Hi Taylor! Hi Tree! I know you lurking tumblr, twitter and DailyMail and you care so much about what others think of you. I hope you lose.

  35. spidey says:

    My goodness don’t some people get obsessive about some strange and unimportant things ?

    And May, just because somebody doesn’t lower themselves to respond to something in some trashy tabloid doesn’t make an article true. Tabloid and trashy mags print lies all the time.

  36. virginfangirl2 says:

    This is what baffles me about the hiding: Taylor was renting a NYC apt with a garage where she could leave without being seen. She has an ungodly amount of money. She can certainly find & purchase, or have continued to rent, a NYC apt where she could leave privately and avoid ALL this tabloid talk and pap pics recently. Is it a pain to move, sure. Is it a shame she must spend money on a new place & deal with the hassle of selling this one. Yep. But if she truly wants privacy, that’s the steps she would take.

    • May says:

      Clearly she knows his to go in and out without being seen. The problem is the article that claimed she was doing so by suitcase. People were laughing and believing that was that case. That’s why she went out the front for a few days to prove to the nuts that she is not in a suitcase.

      Now things are back to not being seen. It was clear she only did that to stop the suitcase rumors. The woman is about to go to trial for a serious sexual abuse case where she will take the stand. Shame on you people for making it about anything other then that. I am sure her first priority is getting this trial over with, keeping a low profile so the defense cannot use anything against her and not making potential jury members jealous by flaunting around like her world is all roses. She can claim she has been depressed because of the emotional distress of the sexual assault case. That is clearly why she stepped back. But of course toms fans think the world revolves around him and that she is too busy thinking about ruining him. He does a great job of that by himself.

      • martina says:

        Tom’s fans don’t think anything of the sort.

      • virginfangirl2 says:

        There was a fan who witnessed Taylor recently getting papped at her NYC place. She was a tourist visiting Swifts place. She said there were SUV’s & such outside with paps at the front entrance so she waited. But then a bunch of chaos and the paps ran around back. Obviously the paps know about both entrances. And fans who have been there say both entrances can’t avoid pap picks. I would believe she leaves in early morning, late at night, to avoid them. But it’s just bullshit that paps aren’t aware of the 2 entrances, a building she’s owned & they’ve visited for a long time. All buildings HAVE to have 2 exits & everyone knows that. So no need to be so saucy. It’s easy to berate someone with no proof of their intentions & I’m sure you’ll reply with more nastiness. But I will believe she called the paps & the reasons you gave sound logical. The fan also said more & more paps arrived before Taylor came out so somehow they knew she was leaving.

      • martina says:

        hope that wasn’t aimed at me VFG!

      • virginfangirl2 says:

        No, not to you
