Taylor Swift out to ‘destroy Calvin Harris & Tom Hiddleston’ with her next album?

FFN_MESV_Swift_Taylor_091416_52174326

Many Tom Hiddleston fans want to believe that Hiddles came out of the Tiddlesplit ahead. Early indications do seem to show that yes, he might have played the press game pretty well and he didn’t do any additional damage to his image with the Tiddlesplit. But! There was already so much damage with the actual Tiddlebanging already. Plus, if we know one thing about Taylor Swift, it’s that she will wait MONTHS to settle old scores and she’s obsessed with having the last word on her relationships. What appears to be a Hiddles-victory in September might not look that way in December or February, or whenever Taylor’s new album comes out. And so we get this obvious story:

It looks like Taylor Swift could be out for revenge. The Shake It Off singer has already gone through two high-profile breakups this year, and with a new album looming, it’s the perfect time for her to get everything off her chest. According to Closer Magazine, the singer is planning on “slating” Calvin Harris and Tom Hiddleston on her upcoming record.

A source said: “Taylor’s blood was boiling when Tom’s camp waded in with stories slamming her. This was made worse by Calvin’s comments, which felt like another dig, as she said Calvin was twisting the knife when her reputation was already at an all-time low.”

Apparently, Taylor has become enraged by the rumours swirling about her and has finally had enough of keeping quiet.

“Taylor’s been left fuming and is going to use her next album to restore her reputation and set the record straight. She says she’ll destroy Calvin and Tom – she’s determined to get payback revealing details which, until now, she’d promised to keep secret,” added the source.

[From The Daily Mirror]

I could have written this “exclusive.” So could many of you. This isn’t an exclusive so much as an accurate description of Taylor’s modus operandi. Over the summer, I would have said that Calvin Harris would be the big target for most of the songs, but in the wake of the Tiddlesplit… who knows? She might be equally pissed off at both of them. Sigh… her new album is going to be a beast, isn’t it? She might have enough material for a double album.

    All Aboard The Petty Express Destination Obviouslytown!!!!

    • HH says:

      Is she not embarrassed that anytime she breaks up with someone the first thought is: “Can’t wait to hear her pettiness on the next album!”….???? In terms of album sales, great plan. In terms of reputation, DUMB.

      • NotSoSocialButterfly says:

        Exactly this. I know people write songs about their life experiences, but my god, enough already, you petty arrested adolescent. This schtick is so stale.

      • Shannon1972 says:

        Agree completely with you both.

      • Mary Mary says:

        Not a dumb $trategy at all. Juicy breakup material sells records, Isn’t this what it is all about? $$$$. The dopey guy relationships are nothing but record selling fodder.

    • Nicole says:

      This is why I’ll never be a fan of TS. She’s a tween and an idiot.
      She might want to be careful though because if she has ANY dirt on CH I wouldn’t doubt he has more receipts just sitting waiting to be dropped.

      But I’m here for the pettiness. Something tells me she won’t win with the next album. She’s been exposed

      • Bros says:

        I’ll never be a fan because she can’t sing and her lyrics are a 13 year old’s diary entry.

      • Mrs. Wellen-Melon says:

        Taylor Swift, take a page from Joni Mitchell. You can do confessional stuff your entire career but the scope needs to expand and the tone needs to become more this-is-who-I-am, rather than this-is-who-that-pig-was.

      • holly hobby says:

        Yup never a fan. I thought she was faux country and she can’t sing live (Stevie Nicks duet anyone?). Her lyrics are also very laughable.

        I don’t think she can follow the same play book anymore. Kim K made sure of that.

      • Shelleycon says:

        Anyone entering a relationship with this broad from now on should document the whole thing, you never know when you might need a receipt in the future lol

    • Angel says:

      Fantastic!!:)

  2. Pmnichols says:

    And water is wet. This poor girl.

  3. Melody says:

    Yeah…cuz *they’re* the problem. All of them are the problem…

  4. SusanneToo says:

    I wouldn’t have believed any of this, but the source is Closer magazine, so well, yes, of course!

  5. Tiffany says:

    So…your last two relationships have ended with no party being abusive or all around awful, you decide that since they did not become meek and moved on, you will make the decision to ‘destroy’ them on an album. Got it. Why does she continue to get a pass.

  6. akua says:

    Lol, I can’t wait for it. ..calvin will get the John mayer treatment, whiles hiddleston Will get the taylor Lautner treatment. ..

  7. CidySmiley says:

    God she’s like… 15 years old. She’s like a teenager. That’s what she acts like.

    • Desi says:

      She writes music like one too. I believe Adele is younger than Swift, yet her lyrics are light-years ahead. Or even the lyrics Fiona Apple was writing at 19. Stevie Wonder was Swift’s age when he wrote the Songs in The Key of Life album, not even considering the incredible music he was putting out long before. Heck Debbie Gibson was 16 when she wrote AND produced “Foolish Beat,” which is a lovely ballad. Yet here you have superstar Swift who gets acclaim for lyrics that often sound like they came from the diary of a 12 year old.

      • FactCheck says:

        Desi:

        I believe you’re mistaken about the ages of Adele and Taylor Swift.

        Adele is 28 years old with a birth date of May 5, 1988.

        Taylor Swift is 26 yeas old with a birth date of December 13, 1989.

      • Sigh... says:

        “Stevie Wonder was Swift’s age when he wrote the Songs in The Key of Life album, not even considering the incredible music he was putting out long before.”

        Whoooaa. Way to put it into perspective (although she and multiludes of others will NEVER be in his very small league/narrow lane).

        His “breakup song” on there could be “Another Star,” and even that is “The most amicable split though there was cheating” theme song, blaming only himself.

  8. emmyb1608 says:

    Will she ever stop acting like a spoiled brat? And I have no sympathy for the “men” she dates… They all know what they’re letting themselves on for, and everyone comes out looking foolish in a plot line featuring Taylor!

  9. Tiffany27 says:

    I too have my moments of petty, but Taylor is a whole new level. Ain’t you tired Miss Hilly?, ain’t you tired????

  10. akua says:

      • Lilacflowers says:

        @Secret Squirrel, that Hiddlesconda one might necessitate on of those Parents Advisory warnings

      • Cranberry says:

        Crab walk like an Egyptian
        I’ll let you fly my jet if you’ll love me
        Can’t love a man that’s not on Instagram
        No, you stepped on my foot ( my squad says I dance like a pro)
        Kanye who? (Don’s listen to the internet. The world is wrong.)
        You don’t bring my take-out anymore

    • Sixer says:

      “If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?”

      Advertising blurb: No it bloody doesn’t! So buy the album, damn you.

    • Sixer says:

      I Got Confused… Between Blue and Grey Suede Shoes.

      • Secret squirrel says:

        You can fly me to Oz
        Crab walk to your car

        Do anything that you want to do
        But uh uh honey don’t look at those shoes
        No don’t you, look at those grey suede shoes
        Well you can do anything but throw away my grey suede shoes

      • Sixer says:

        I love you, Squirrel.

    • bonzo says:

      These made my day. My favorite was Hiddlesconda Surprise (12″ extended version).

      Thank for the laughs, ladies!

  11. Skins says:

    She just keeps making herself look worse and worse

    • FactCheck says:

      Skins, isn’t her recent PR with all the charitable giving to Louisiana, an elephant charity and children’s hospitals, sending the “America’s Got Talent” winner flowers with a card, and participating in a 30-minute Facetime session with a dying fan turning around her image at all?

      Your average person or naive teen might see that as Taylor turning over a new leaf of maturing and seeing the world beyond her ever-changing string of paramours.

      Just a thought.

      • Izzy says:

        They might see it that way, until her next album comes out slamming two of her exes and a new firestorm of media coverage comes up, complete with a rehashing of Receiptsgate. Eventually these tweenybopper fans of hers will grow up, and they will realize that she is just a mean girl with a microphone.

      • bonzo says:

        “Eventually these tweenybopper fans of hers will grow up, and they will realize that she is just a mean girl with a microphone.”

        Izzy, I’m hoping this will happen. I don’t see how she can continue to peddle the same victim persona and slam her exes after the Reckoning of the Receipts. Mainstream media is willing to call her out now, unlike before.

        If she continues to take the same stance in her songs, I’d expect a spate of bad press saying that the 27YO hasn’t learned anything since being outed as a snake, a liar, a revengeful backstabbing bitch etc…

  12. AngelaH says:

    I really want her to make her next album about geology and not mention anything about her exes. Come on! Prime opportunity to teach the world about rock formations! People can ask her if a song is about Tom and she will be all, “actually, that is about limestone. It’s fascinating really…”

  13. minx says:

    So boring. I don’t know what’s truth and what’s PR, and don’t even care much.

  14. Kitty says:

    She better not do this or else the media and the public will tear her to shreds

    • Spidey says:

      Think I’m in agreement here Kitty. She has now been well and truly sussed and if she carries on as before she will just look even more spiteful and inadequate. Best thing Tom and his team can do is just keep radio silence. Or, repeat the famous words of Mandy Rice-Davies “She would say that, wouldn’t she?”

    • bonzo says:

      Yes, I think entertainment writers are looking for any reason to tear down her false persona, so she’ll be playing right into their hands if she does.

  15. Dippit says:

    I fail to see how keeping to her, now noted more than ever before in the public consciousness, MO of ‘revenge songs’ will do anything to “restore her reputation” (certainly not in my sense of “restore”). This approach, if true it is to be taken, will merely REINFORCE her reputation as a spiteful and childish songwriter unable to mature her musical range.

    Added to which, now her reputation for both dishonesty and false victimhood are well established within public consciousness too, her album version of events will be far less likely to be believed.

    She needs a new hook, this one is a choogley peg – it’d barely hold a small hankerchief far less be enough to hang her coat upon.

    • FactCheck says:

      Dippit, interesting comment about Taylor’s reputation.

      I did want to point out that in your astute observation about Taylor Swift needing a new hook, you misspelled “choogley peg.” The idiom is of Scottish ancestry and is correctly spelled “shoogly.” A quick Google search will verify the spelling.

      About your comment, do you believe that Taylor’s legions of dedicated fans will really care if she continues with her practice of writing blind item songs? For some people, it’s a fun challenge to decide which ex-boyfriend to attribute the song. Others may find it spiteful, immature and annoying.

      • WeAreAllMadeOfStars says:

        It’s not really a blind item if “Jake-n-my-scarf” are spelled out in the liner notes.

  16. grabbyhands says:

    Wow, who saw this coming??? Besides everyone, I mean.

    If this little “exclusive ” is true, she really is deluded. She hasn’t been quiet about the breakups at all (just because you’re having your PR team plant stories doesn’t mean you’re taking the high road) and planning a revenge album isn’t going to rehab her image at all, it just reinforces the vengeful victim persona she has trotted out after literally every single breakup.

  17. Danielle says:

    I don’t think she’ll go after Calvin. That guy has the receipts and he will use them if he has too.

    • bonzo says:

      Yeah, Calvin has shown he’s willing to slap back so she’d better be nice to him or he’ll spill some more dirt on her.

  18. Flowerchild says:

    If this is true Taylor would not be able to get away with it like she has for so many years. For one her true self has been exposed and the world knows she a liar, mean girl and loves to play the victim. Secondly she met her match in Calvin Harris and Tom PR team would not let her getaway with trashing him.

    The best thing Taylor can do is grow up and make an album about something other than ex-boyfriends and “enemies” AKA Katy Perry.

  19. popup says:

    LOOOOL. At least it won’t be hard to tell the two apart in her blind item songs.

  20. Brea says:

    If I were her after this disastrous PR summer I would change perspective and write songs with different topics apart from the usual litanies about the people who wronged me. Some self-reflection or something about the trials of fame but maybe I’m being naive; after all she mainly garners publicity and attention by leaving hints about her famous exes.

    • AlleyCat says:

      Sometimes I think she might try and not write blind items because I think she’s well aware that the public is sick of her. BUT that is literally what made her career. I don’t think she knows how to do anything else.

    • FactCheck says:

      Brea, Taylor Swift is incredibly successful with her revenge songs.

      Forbes listed her 2016 net worth as $250 million.

      Whatever her strategy for to “garner publicity and attention by leaving hints about her famous exes” it certainly keeps her bank account very, very full and healthy.

      Perhaps some of your commentary should be directed at the millions who download her songs, buy her albums and attend her concerts. If people stop purchasing Taylor’s goods, then she might be inclined to “change perspective and write songs with different topics” and engage in some “self-reflection.”

      • Dr. Funkenstein says:

        Thanks, TayTay.

      • bonzo says:

        FactCheck, you sound ridiculous and petty. Just like Taylor.

        Brea, your thoughts are pretty much in line with the opinion of the masses here. She should change her persona and modus operandi if she wants to stay at the top of the heap, but she may not know how and will keep recycling the same formula until her sales start slipping. Eventually, every teenybopper pop idol has that happen and they have to reinvent themselves and mature in order to appeal to an older audience. It’ll be interesting to see if Taylor can do that as her ability to appeal to young, impressionable kids wanes.

  21. Christin says:

    Seems like writing thinly veiled breakup songs is all she knows.

    This is her chance to show whether she has staying power (talent) or wants to milk every cent from the same ole schtick.

  22. Max says:

    Aww, po’ po Tay Tay. Karma is a bitch. And even harder for this nasty pig-eyed delusional “child” who tries to have it both ways. She IS NOT 15 any longer, so she needs to stop trying to act like she needs to be protected from life. Don’t care about Harris/Hiddleston; her past relationships should have been warning enough, I just have never understood why some people look at this sow and see an innocent. Good Lord, she has been a phony since she first arrived. Every school has professional virginal innocents like this fool. And it was only recently people have begun to doubt her honesty? Actual mature adults have breakups and do not need revenge or to point fingers. Besides, someone should tell this Homunculus that anyone who ALWAYS ends a relationship (yeah, right) has some real emotional problems. Afraid of being left, so they leave first. Someone buy this media whore a clue.

    • Azurea says:

      Um, it’s called Narcissistic Personality Disorder. She can’t change because she’s literally incapable of honest self-perception. She’ll play the same game over & over like a wind-up toy until the day she dies. There is no real person in there.

      • Justjj says:

        She doesn’t seem NPD to me. Just spoiled and emotionally stunted. New album is sure to be hilarious. Can’t wait.

  23. Giddy says:

    If she does this why on earth would any other guy risk dating her? She is too juvenile to realize that the poison she heaps on ex’s rebounds on her. I think she’s a vicious little witch.

  24. squeezeo'lime says:

    textbook psychopath. leave people be taylor..

  25. JenniferJustice says:

    Honestly, Tom and Calvin should write a song together about Taylor and out her secrets and idiosyncrasies. I would listen to it if for no other reason than to pour salt in Tay Tay’s raw wound. That song would be a hit for the sheer gossip involved in it. Somebody needs to put this girl in her place and get her at her own game. Wouldn’t it be great if such a song were not only recorded, but if it sold better than any single from her upcoming album? That would be delightful!

  26. everlyB says:

    Write an album, sell your music but what’s the point in destroying your ex? Relationship is over, move on. She can’t let go, can she?!

  27. Abby_J says:

    I wouldn’t be surprised at all if she totally gets away with it. The album will come out and the press will be falling over themselves to love her again, and all will be forgiven. It will be a long time before that album comes out, and they won’t be talking about the Kanye thing anymore.

    I do have one question, though. Has there been this much ridicule with any of her other boyfriends as there was with Tommy, or does it just seem like he’s the first because I’m a fan of his and paying more attention? If he’s the first, then I suppose that dragging him too much could be dangerous because it will just remind everyone of the joke that was the Summer of Tiddlesbanging.

  28. Marcy says:

    Her song would be for Tom:

    I knew you were a fame ho when you walked in
    Shame on you for blaming me when it all end
    When you walked away it hurt
    But we still laugh at your I LOVE TS Shirt
    You participated to not just me
    You’re No Prince Charming but Loki
    I thought we had a rom com
    Til you dropped the it’s not you it’s me bomb
    Now you’re back across the pond
    But you’ll never be James Bond 😏

  29. perplexed says:

    She’s not writing a revenge song on Kim Kardashian?

    It didn’t cross my mind that Calvin Harris and Tom Hiddleston had ruined her reputation.

  30. Little Darling says:

    You were the one, you were the one that got away
    Right after we hit play
    On the song I sang without my name
    Oh baby I can play your game.

    Your name is John, but we can call you Rick, or Jamal if that’s a better color for you
    Ill sing my song
    You’ll march along
    Because that’s what grown men do

    And I’ll call you out
    I’ll turn and shout
    All my truths from the highest floor
    You might Have loved me before
    But I can always sing more.

  31. Tris says:

    I can’t wait for the song about Kim!

  32. A says:

    I’m really curious as to how and when Taylor/her team will try to make a more mature image for her. She does have talent so she will most likely have a long lasting career, but she is still appealing to a tween audience. How long will she have to do that? Doesn’t she want to reach a more adult audience? I really want to see a more mature version of her and her music. She isn’t a teenager anymore and I find it hard to believe that she has anything in common with teens these days. So why try to be so relatable?

  33. graymatters says:

    But what about the kanye/kim drama? What about all those jelly h8trs who snake emoji’ed her? This has been the summer of songs for Taylor.

    What was the summer of love
    Became the summer of shame.
    I’ll never name names
    But he was mean to me.

    I’m strong and independent
    Like a fourth of July.
    I’ll never name names
    But he made me cry.

    She was true to her man
    And he said he was my friend.
    I’ll never name names
    But he blabbed, so it’s the end.

    My fans are fantastic
    My fans can be fickle.
    I’ll never name names
    But snakes don’t tickle.

  34. Spidey says:

    Neil Diamond already wrote it:

    “Love On The Rocks”

    Love on the rocks ain’t no surprise
    Pour me a drink,
    And I’ll tell you some lies
    Got nothing to lose,
    So you just sing the blues, all the time

    Gave you my heart, gave you my soul
    You left me alone here
    With nothing to hold
    Yesterday’s gone
    Now all I want is a smile

    First they say they want you
    How they really need you
    Suddenly you find you’re out there
    Walking in a storm

    When they know they have you
    Then they really have you
    Nothing you can do or say,
    You’ve got to leave, just get away
    We all know the song

    You need what you need
    You can say what you want
    Not much you can do
    When the feeling is gone
    May be blue skies above,
    But it’s cool
    When your love’s on the rocks

    First they say they want you
    How they really need you
    Suddenly you find you’re out there
    Walking in a storm

    And when they know they have you
    Then they really have you
    Nothing you can do or say
    You got to leave, just get away
    We all know the song

    Love on the rocks
    Ain’t no big surprise
    Just pour me a drink
    And I’ll tell you my lies
    Yesterday ‘s gone
    Now all I want is a smile…..

  35. Bread and Circuses says:

    “Taylor has become enraged by the rumours swirling about her and has finally had enough of keeping quiet.”

    When did she keep quiet? Oh, I get it, because passive-aggressive leaks to the press somehow count as being “quiet”.

    “”She says she’ll destroy Calvin and Tom – she’s determined to get payback revealing details which, until now, she’d promised to keep secret,” added the source. ”

    Because SNAKE EMOJI. Promises don’t count either if you’re mad enough, duh.

  36. Vichy says:

    Just to change the script she should date a woman next. Maybe ruby rose, she seems to be as thirsty as hiddleston. Am sure she will be down for some carefully choreographed PR stunts.

  37. Camille says:

    She really needs a new narrative. This has all become beyond tiresome.

  38. Americano says:

    There is no song yet though. I think I’ll reserve my judgment for the time being.

  39. Kate says:

    “I’m so shocked.” will say NO ONE at all.

  40. ELH says:

    1. This digital rag (from now on known as DR) does not have a hack into Swifts brain, so they have no idea what she is going to do. Just like the other DRs which have reported her dating a South Korean who speaks little English, and has been in Spain for the last several months, and Zack who has been on the west coast and Miss Swift in New York, and Kentucky from the time she and Tom stopped seeing one another until now. So her dating is BS just like this story.

    2. None of Miss Swifts songs have ever destroyed any one. In fact when Styles was asked about the songs that are allegedly about him in an interview his reply was.
    “We always say that we write from personal experience,” he said. “Everyone does, so it would be hypocritical of us to be like, ‘Oh, you can’t write about us,’ and she’s really good. So, they are good songs. So, I’m lucky in that sense.”

    3. Many on this site have said Miss Swift lyrics sound like a teenager. The first three (3/5) of the songs she has released she wrote between the ages of 14 and 17.5., so they were written by a teenager, but they are good, and far beyond what any other teenager have done thus far.

  41. atomic rat says:

    What else has she ever had to sing about?

    A one trick pony that’s had lots of saddles.
