'No, it's not a publicity stunt': Tom Hiddleston on dating Taylor Swift

Tom Hiddleston has many reasons to celebrate. The 35-year-old hunk won an Emmy nomination for his role as former British soldier Jonathan Pine in the British-American series Night Manager. He also seems to be very much in love with his girlfriend Taylor Swift. The couple’s high profile romance has sparked-off many conspiracy theories which state that their romance, known to fans as ‘Hiddleswift’, is nothing more than a publicity stunt for good PR. Speculation even states that this might even be an elaborate ploy for Taylor Swift’s next big music video.

It’s not a publicity stunt.” Also weighing in on the relationship is Martha Hunt, the Victoria Secret model who forms the core of Taylor Swift’s squad. “I love that they’re both happy and free together,” the supermodel told the press at a Pepsi event celebrating World Emoji Day. She also commented on the fact that Hiddleston got along very well with Taylor Swift’s friends on her 4th of July party weekend. All is well in the ‘Hiddleswift’ universe it seems, lest Calvin Harris takes to twitter again or this time maybe there will be a few skeletons in Hiddleston’s closet?
