Is Taylor Swift going to be a ‘surprise’ guest at tonight’s Emmy Awards?

FFN_MESV_Swift_Taylor_091416_52174329

I’m genuinely surprised that Taylor Swift didn’t get magically pap’d on Saturday, just so there would be new photos ahead of the Emmys. Maybe she’s waiting for tonight, you know? Maybe she’s waiting to show up “unexpectedly” at the Emmys just so she can “surprise” Tom Hiddleston. That’s what the Daily Mirror/Daily Star suggests – their source claims Taylor’s name still appears on some guest list somewhere, and now “his pals” hope that she does the decent thing (?) and stays home.

Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston could come face-to-face for the first time after their messy split at the Emmys on Sunday night. The former couple, who went public in June after Taylor’s split from boyfriend of one-year Calvin Harris, broke up earlier this month and since then it’s got quite messy. It will be a big night for Tom, who is up for the Best Actor award for his part in hit drama The Night Manager. But now it’s been claimed that Taylor is also on the guest list for the Emmys and his pals are allegedly hoping that the night is not spoiled by the former couple running into each other.

“Taylor is still on the guest list. But everyone on Team Tom is hoping and praying she’ll do the decent thing and stay at home and watch it on TV for his sake,” a source told Daily Star Sunday. “He is still shellshocked over their split and just setting eyes on her could send him into a tailspin.”

It has been claimed that the Emmys team are working hard to make sure the pair stay clear of each other.

[From The Daily Mirror]

Taylor’s actually won an Emmy before, but I don’t think she’s ever attended an Emmy telecast, so why would she start this year, the year when her latest ex-boyfriend is up for some big awards? I don’t think Taylor is like that. Say what you will about the Snake Emoji, but she’s not usually that upfront about her stalking, you know?

Two more things – one, Taylor did want to get some attention this weekend, which is why she announced a $50,000 donation to Ascension Public Schools in Louisiana. She also donated to a local food bank and Salvation Army chapter in Louisiana, and her giving likely exceeds the initial $1 million pledge she made in the wake of the Louisiana floods. It’s completely amazing she’s doing such high-profile donations. Period, end of story. Of course, it’s also completely amazing that her donations are announced at some really critical moments in the gossip cycle.

Last thing… Tom Hiddleston is probably going to present at the Emmys with Priyanka Chopra. There’s a photo of the two of them laughing together and now people are like “Is Hiddles getting with an Indian lady?” As an Indian lady, I hope Tom does go for an Indian girl, just because it would be good for morale. I doubt it’s happening though.

    I don’t care about the Emmys but I do like that stripped dress.

  2. Moxie Remon says:

    Someone on Tumblr said that he likes dramatic women and that Priyanka would just follow the program. What can I say other than this is correct? He’s got a need to be surrounded by drama.

    • Maxime DuCamp says:

      Just curious but who are all these other “dramatic women” that Tom has been surrounding himself with?

      • seesittellsit says:

        @Maxime DuCamp – THIS . . . answer: there aren’t any. Tom and his PR have done a good job of putting it about that he likes this that or the other qualities in women, and Tom has performed exaggerated ogling of women’s bosoms in interviews, and it all means nothing, because the still-unacknowledged truth is, he’s not interested in women at all – like several of Swift’s past “bfs”.

      • MC2 says:

        That’s a silly conspiracy theory. That fact that a man’s sexuality is a conspiracy theory that anyone spends time on is silly in itself. He has said that he is straight and likes women’s boobies. End.

      • Melly says:

        If we are agreeing that there is no evidence that Tom like “dramatic women” then we also need to agree that there is no evidence that he’s gay. It’s all speculation.

      • Maxime DuCamp says:

        Yeah, some people who responded to me seemed to have misinterpreted my answer to mean that he doesn’t date women and I don’t think that’s the case at all. I mean his sexuality is none of my business and I doesn’t matter to me if he were straight, gay, or bi,, but he’s said he’s straight and he’s been caught checking out women in several videos. Anyway I was only refuting the statement that he’s drawn to “dramatic” women, not women in general.

      • AlmostThere says:

        @Maxime DeCamp

        It’s only @seesit that chose to misunderstand what you meant cause that’s what she peddles even though there’s never been any indication to believe so, no receipts over the years, nothing but far fetched speculation and Taylor bearding conspiracy theories – cause you know every guy she’s dated is secretly gay.

  3. lilacflowers says:

    She was in Nashville yesterday. Her fans keep tagging Tom when they post her pictures on Instagram. Lots of pictures from Nashville yesterday with her mother.

  4. QueenB says:

    no way. it would only draw attention to her and Tom. her team is now pushing the independent, strong and super private woman who dont need no man. if she shows up she would look like a bunny boiler.

    • MI6 says:

      You’re right, Queen B. She’s the one who would lose in that scenario.
      It would be entertaning as hell, though…
      Nope nope nope

    • Shambles says:

      It would be so entertaining, and it’s really not beyond her to do things like this (Jake Gyllenhal, Vanity Fair party?). Because, well, she kind of IS a bunny boiler…

    • Sixer says:

      I always vote for the funniest outcome, so I think she should go.

      • HH says:

        HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

        Sixer, if I haven’t told you how great you are, you’re simply fantastic.

      • Sixer says:

        I wasn’t even joking!

      • Spidey says:

        @ Sixer I am beginning to worry that you are faintly evil! 🙂

      • Liberty says:

        Sixer, I adore you.

        Her best move would be to be shown visiting children in a hospital during the Emmys.

        But I wish she would show up in a Kanye ensemble and newly dark hair, with Bradley Cooper, who would be wearing torn jeans bedazzled with “I Finally Agree To Love Tay” in rhinestones and gold thread.

      • Sixer says:

        I know how HE could win. His latest squeeze, and first red carpet girlf, should be one of our glorious Paralympians.

        Game. Over.

      • Liberty says:

        B r i l l i a n t.

        Sixer Strategic Maneuvers LLP. Celebs contract you and you supply guidance from the gardens of Dibley.

      • Bonzo says:

        Yes she should go, but only for our giggles.

        Sixer, did you see that Beebie 2 has got Short Term 12? The best Brie Larson film out there and I recommended it to you months ago… Now you can see it for freebies!

        Moon was at our local library so I’ll try and catch that one this week.

      • Sixer says:

        I did! And I really loved it. I should have said because I watched on your rec. Sorry!

      • Bonzo says:

        Awesome… glad you liked it.

        I meant to say if Tom was to bring one of the Paralympians to an RC event, it would make up for a hell of a lot of BAD DECISIONS that he’s made the past few months. He would be REDEEMED in my eyes.

        ETA: I just found out that “Amazing” Grace Norman went to my alma mater, much later than I did, since I’m no spring chicken.

      • Sixer says:

        One of ours has even done underwear modelling so y’know. Paralympian (multi gold medallist to boot) AND eye candy. Mr Sixer has a crush on Hannah Cockcroft.

  5. Elizabeth says:

    On that topic – Tom’s sister is married to an Indian.

  6. MI6 says:

    …the man can’t stand next to someone at a professional function without being “with” her?
    People need to CTFD.
    He’d be wise to sit on the sidelines for a while and go back to keeping his personal life under wraps.
    I’m sort of cringing about Kimmel tonight though…
    #letsallmoveonplease

    • browniecakes says:

      Funny picture on social media jokes that Tom got interested in another blonde while in AU. It is a picture of Tom as Loki, hugging Chris Hemsworth as Thor with Thor’s long blonde pony tail.

  7. Keats says:

    “He is still shellshocked over their split and just setting eyes on her could send him into a tailspin.”
    Hahah. Get it together, Tom.

  8. my3cents says:

    She’ll jump out of a giant cake with a ״I heart T.H” and yell surprise!

  9. Jess says:

    I saw on Tumblr that she was at some Food & Music Festival in Nashville last night , with her mother and Lily Aldridge

  10. SusanneToo says:

    “He is still shellshocked…..”. Oh, for crying out loud. Who writes this drivel?

    • lilacflowers says:

      Even weirder, some people believe such drivel.

      • Miss Jupitero says:

        He is still shell shocked,and yet he also ended it because he was bored and she had reached the three month mark. It would be nice if the writers could make up their minds.

      • lilacflowers says:

        Perhaps he is still shell shocked that he involved himself with her in the first place? But the writers can’t go there.

      • Sixer says:

        I feel that I could write much better (well, hopefully funnier and definitely more obnoxious) copy, with many fewer plot holes.

      • lilacflowers says:

        @ Sixer, I agree. And you would be far more consistent. Unless you were intending to contradict yourself for the humor in it and just to catch whether anyone was paying attention.

      • Sixer says:

        I do like the odd red herring but I would have the sense to use sparingly!

      • lilacflowers says:

        And the latest is that Eppie Calvin has reached out to Tom to set up a secret meeting to teach Tom how to defend himself against Taylor. Because Eppie Calvin did that so very well. I’m going back to watch my football game now, during which the Miami Dolphins are providing loads of comic relief to divert from the Patriots quarterback problems.

      • Capella says:

        Yes to All thread under SusanneToo ^ ^ ^ including Yes to Pats win !!

      • Cranberry says:

        I agree Lilac. I could totally believe he’s STILL shell shocked over what a bad idea, blunder-f*ck mess this whole thing ended up being.

  11. Fordprefect says:

    This is Team Taylor leaking the “story”. Of course she will do “the decent thing” because she is now sooooo decent…

  12. Nancy says:

    His smile seems so genuine in the pic with Priyanka, a look I never saw when he was next to Swift. The Emmys are his thing, she should stay the hell away and let him have his moment. Sure there will a music award show soon. All these people do is congratulate themselves.

    • Heather says:

      Respectfully disagree that Tom never looked at Taylor like that. There were soooooo many pics of him absolutely glowing looking at Taylor. It’s why I liked them together. Agree that this should be his thing, I can’t see her taking that away. She should not.

      • Nancy says:

        That’s not what I meant Heather. In the above picture, he’s not even looking at Priyanka. It appears they are both laughing at something. I meant he simply looked happy. I think Miss Taylor has issues to work on before she goes on to yet another man. You have to be happy yourself before you can make a relationship work and she’s having a rough year.

    • Elizabeth says:

      Also, he publicly acknowledged he and Taylor are together and very happy :O
      Bet he is regretting that but then he wore the tee!!

  13. Hannah says:

    Priyanka chopra is way out of his league.

    • Joy says:

      She’s so gorgeous. I’m sure she’s smart and a great actress but she’s so pretty all I can do for now is stare!

    • Annetommy says:

      Really. It’s all about the marks out of ten of course.

    • tania says:

      way out of her league? uh no. She had scandal with two bollywood actors who were married . one of the actors wife (she was also an actress) banned her husband from ever working with her. And still he doesn’t work with her. The facade that she is showing is not the real one.
      And I don’t know why my comment didn’t appear at the first time. :/

  14. teacakes says:

    It’s nice that she donated, even if it’s to get herself positive press/calm down the Hiddleswift press cycle.

    Also I bet that blue bag she’s carrying is empty.

  15. Little Darling says:

    Her face looks different to me.

  16. Embee says:

    To be fair, I would probably fall all over myself if I was with Priyanka and I’m a tragically straight cis female. That woman is mesmerizing. And her voice!

    I bet Taylor shows up at a prominent / exclusive after party to show respect for Tom by avoiding the event but also to keep her head high by not scurrying away.

  17. Chef Grace says:

    LOL..
    it may up the viewing of the Emmys just to see if she does show..
    Clever click bait indeed.
    I think Tiddles is done now..They both got what they needed..overexposure…No need to to rub our noses in it by TS showing up.
    I also think Kimmel will not make fun of Tiddles..
    JMO
    I don’t watch awards shows but will look forward to seeing the clips of TH and hopefully TNM wins 🙂

    • Colette says:

      Jimmy said he would not discuss them on some interview Thursday.I think it was on Extra.

    • lilacflowers says:

      I will be surprised if he does for multiple reasons. 1. There are other issues/news items that appeal to a far broader demographic; 2. they are over, let it die and move on 3. he doesn’t know why they’re over and it could add to legitimate hurt feelings, making him look like a bully 4. Disney/Marvel/ABC doesn’t want its employees sniping at one another on stage in front of a television audience and they are both employees of Disney/Marvel/ABC at the moment but Taylor herself is actually fair game because she isn’t.

  18. GraceCB says:

    I would give anything for them to walk to the stage, stand next to that microphone, and Priyanka to ask him in the most casual way possibe : “So…had a good summer ? … Here’re the nominees! ”

    But i don’t think his sense of humour extends that far.

    • third ginger says:

      Young Mr. Hiddleston has a great sense of humor. He will present by himself. Swift has no possible reason to attend this awards show. Ms. Chopra is lovely and has a boyfriend. Sorry. Just got out of the hospital [bad reaction to medication] No patience for rock bottom garbage.

      • lilacflowers says:

        I hope you are feeling better and continue to improve.

      • GraceCB says:

        I hope you feel better too. Since i have made no comment on Ms Chopra personal life, or hinted any relation between her and young Thomas William Hiddleston, i don’t know if you wanted to respond to my comment. Nevertheless , if that was the case, i hope you know it was a light joke, something i’ve just imagined in my head and found funny. I apologized profusely. To you and young Thomas . Who, I am sure, is wonderfully funny in so many ways.

    • Spidey says:

      @ Grace CB or is it Chef Grace?

      As lilacflowers said on a previous thread, let’s not diss other posters, sarcastically or otherwise.

      • third ginger says:

        I am genuinely sorry.I was really responding to the gossip items themselves. I refer to Tom as “young” because I am old enough to be his mother. In our family, I joke that he is my pretend son. Sorry to be morbid, but I was never able to carry a son to term. Best daughter on earth,though.

      • Spidey says:

        Ok third ginger, my comment wasn’t at you. Hope you are feeling better. Sorry about your problems. Sympathies – I spent half of yesterday at A&E. Fortunately ECG proved clear and no serious problems.

  19. Heather says:

    I am still in denial and hoping they didn’t really break up and that Tom will triumphantly show up with Taylor on his arm. A pipe dream I know. Barring that I agree that I don’t think Taylor is that awful to show up to torture Tom on his big night. Especially because Tom seems like such a nice guy and it’s hard to imagine him having done anything for her to even remotely justify doing that.

    • Becky says:

      Why?

      And she’s done it before, with Jake G at the Vanity Fair Oscar party in 2011.

    • Susie 1of 3 says:

      Yes, just imagine the publicity if they walked the red carpet together! I’m thinking classic old time Hollywood dress would be perfect. Big smiles, looking happy. Even if they were over, they should have held on until after their big night as a couple. PR gold.

    • browniecakes says:

      They still follow each other on social media which tells me either the breakup wasn’t that hurtful or the relationship wasn’t about strong emotions. I do have to agree with Heather there were many pictures of them when each looked quite happy. Then again, there were so many pictures!

      • MI6 says:

        It’s not worth the internet drama that would ensue if they unfollowed. She still follows CH, word has it.

      • Cranberry says:

        Thing is Tom has always been a happy guy, and there’s hundreds of photos over the years of him smiling and laughing. It’s widely been confirmed by those that have worked with or met him that he’s basically a delightful, charming, happy person – someone who normally wears a big smile and is always going to make the best out of his situation. So just cause he’s smiling in some photos with Taylor isn’t necessarily proof that he was satisfied or “truly happy” with the relationship. I think he gave it his best effort, but even Tom’s famous enthusiasm couldn’t save the Taytanic -ship.

  20. third ginger says:

    Thanks so much. As I have noted before, your comments have kept me laughing for months now!

  21. Spidey says:

    Of course Tom could show up in a vest with the logo “I no longer heart TS” or, even better, one with to logo “what was I thinking”.

  22. Squiggisbig says:

    There is NO WAY she is going to this. Unless of course she is confident Tom is going to lose (as he should because there are much better performances).

    I think Priyanka Chopra would be a good next beard.

  23. Marcy says:

    I don’t even think Taylor is dumb enough to go to upstage Tim especially if she doesn’t want him to Kimye her.

  24. browniecakes says:

    I expect Kimmel to say something along the lines of “We have Tom Hiddleston of The Night Manager here. His next appearance will be in a Taylor Swift song.”

  25. third ginger says:

    Just ran across a picture of TH, Rami Malek [ likely winner, I think] and the hilarious Jack MacBreyer. The range of talents and personalities there made me laugh!

  26. Dippit says:

    I am readying my whisky…

  27. MI6 says:

    Radar Online is kinda great, actually…I would love to believe it…
    Except the JLo part. Seems Calvin has a penchant for drama.

  28. JWSWJ says:

    Tom should bring Katy Perry as a date. Now that would be classic.

  29. Mark says:

    Interesting. Don’t think Taylor will be showing up to the Emmy’s because she’s with Lily and her mother in Nashville, it’s funny though because I heard a while back ago, that he was gonna show up with another woman to the Emmy’s but nobody believed it and thought it was just some rumor, I assume that it’s true.. And that woman could possibly be Priyanka Chopra as his ‘date’ or someone else.

    What I find more interesting is she’s being linked to Zac Efron.. Yes, that rumor was by ‘Intouch’ .. But, the weird part is, Intouch released the story way to soon, as it was suppose to apparently be published on the 26th of September. Not to mention, Calvin the other day dropped his song .. “My Way” (terrible song about her), yesterday or the day before (while the Zac Efron / Taylor rumors were out), and was talking about his song, lying and saying it wasn’t about her, yet, when asked about his chest, he randomly decides to bring up Zac Efron; “No way, I’m not Zac Efron! That’s not me!” … Since when does Calvin know Zac?

    Lastly, Tree Paine, Taylor’s publicist, has been shooting rumors down in seconds, from left to right, it’s been a couple of days now, and she hasn’t even shut down the rumor that states Zac and Taylor are dating, yet she shuts down the other ones in seconds? … I think there is something being planned here, think Taylor could possibly be PR stunting with Efron soon.

    Tom and Taylor are done, their PR stunting is done. The Emmy night is gonna be not Taylor related.. For sure.

    • Cranberry says:

      Thank god it’s over, and why does everybody think the Emmys need Taylor for ratings? Not saying the Emmys organizers aren’t concerned about rating like any other show, but the Emmys has a lot to offer. There’s going to be loads of celebrities there, something for everyone. The majority of Taylor fans don’t really watch the Emmys. She’s not a part of the Hollywood acting/Tv/film community so it doesn’t really make sense for her to be there unless she’s performing a song or as someone’s date otherwise no one is clamoring for her to be there. Besides, Taylor was going to avoid the Emmys cause she doesn’t want to run into Tina Fey and Amy Poehler who probably would call her out in some type of joke on stage.

  30. Sarah says:

    Taylor’s body looks BANGING in that dress. She looks fantastic with a little more weight on her frame.
    Her boobs whether real or enhanced also look great

  31. lily says:

    OMG it’s so late but the last pic was driving me crazy. The one where she is staring straight up an on. Prince George doppelganger.

  32. Grace says:

    Quickly posting while waiting for my boss. So did missy make an appearance last night? I am guessing no?
