Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston caught kissing
Taylor Swift is secretly romancing future James Bond Tom Hiddleston – and these are the pictures that prove it.
The 26-year-old superstar singer has moved on to “The Night Manager” actor, who is 35, just two weeks after dumping Scottish DJ Calvin Harris.
The pair – who had an instant spark after dancing during the Met Gala – locked lips during a romantic day out on a beach in Rhode Island, which overlooks the Atlantic Ocean.
An onlooker revealed: “They were all over each other – hugging and kissing – even though there were 20 people coming and going on the beach.
“They looked like any young couple madly in love without a care in the world.”
A source close to Taylor revealed: “Tom has been courting Taylor since they met – he sent her flowers. She’s been won over.”
Our world exclusive pictures show Swift on an afternoon outing with Hiddleston on Tuesday at 4 p.m. at one of Taylor’s favorite beaches.
The pictures were taken on the rocky stretch of Misquamicut beach by her mansion in Watch Hill, Rhode Island.
It was at the eight-bedroom, 11,000 square-foot house that she threw a July 4 party at last year and in previous years.
Ex-boyfriend Harris, Ed Sheeran, model Gigi Hadid and the band Haim all attended her 2015 bash.
Dressed casually and both wearing black sunglasses, they walk hand-in-hand to a group of rocks overlooking the water.
They sit down and chivalrous Tom takes off his jacket and puts it around chilly Taylor’s shoulders.
They then passionately kiss before documenting the moment in a series of selfies on their mobile phones.
Afterwards, they appear to re-create a dance move as Taylor helps the heartthrob climb down the rocks.
She then grips her new lover around the waist as they continue their romantic afternoon.
Taylor and Tom formed an instant connection after meeting at New York’s star studded Met Gala on May 4 where they were sat next to each other at dinner.
Later in the night the pair were famously filmed dancing into the early hours of the morning to music including Beyoncé’s “Crazy In Love.”
After the night, Tom described Taylor as “very charming” and added: “She is amazing.”
Within a month her previously rock-solid romance with Calvin, who had described their relationship as “magical,” was over.
The Sun revealed it was Taylor who had ended the 15-month romance with the world’s most famous DJ because he would not commit to marriage and kids.
However, sources close to the “Shake It Off” singer insisted there had been no third party involved on either side.
Showbiz insiders revealed Calvin, who has been recuperating from a serious car accident, is believed to be furious about how quickly Taylor has moved on.
A source said: “The timing of this looks very bad for Taylor. There was an obvious connection with Tom at the Met Gala – you can see that in the video of them dancing together.
“Her people are insistent that no one else was involved in the split with Calvin, which is most likely the case.
“But it feels pretty disrespectful to be moving on to someone so public so quickly.”
Tom has previously revealed it was Taylor who approached him at the Met Gala, admitting it was the first time he had danced in some time.
In a recent interview, he said: “I love dancing, who doesn’t? It’s a weird one.
“I haven’t actually danced for a long time, but I happened to be dancing at the Met Gala, because it was a party.
“I was on a table with Taylor Swift and The Weeknd was playing and she said: ‘The thing about these parties is nobody gets up to dance.’”
In another interview, he added: “She said: ‘If they play ‘I Can’t Feel My Face’ we have to get up and dance as an encore.’
“I said: ‘I’m in, of course, let’s go. Absolutely.’ We just jumped up and started dancing – and everybody else started dancing – which was great. And it was cool. Taylor is a huge star. Maybe it’s just the randomness of it.”
He also told MTV: “I sat next to her at dinner that night and she was very charming. She is amazing – I’ve seen a couple of her videos.
“I think ‘Shake It Off’ was released around the time we made [the film] ‘I Saw the Light’ and she’s very cool, yeah.”
Asked if he would do a duet with Taylor, he added: “I don’t know that I could stand up to her vocal talents to be honest.
“That’s what she does – she’s a professional musician and I’m an actor. We’ll see – you never know, but I’m pretty sure we won’t do.”
Taylor and Calvin announced their split on June 1, just ten days after Calvin was involved in a car crash in Los Angeles just hours before he was due to DJ in Las Vegas.
He was being driven to the airport when a 16-year-old girl crashed her Volkswagen Beetle into his 4×4, leaving him with facial cuts.
The DJ was admitted to hospital but left as no private rooms were available. Both he and Taylor skipped the Billboard Awards two days later as he continued to recover.
The next day a source close to the couple told The Sun: “She discovered that they were on different paths in the last few weeks.
“It wasn’t that they weren’t happy, but when she began raising the subject of their future it became clear they were not wanting the same thing at the same time.”
Incorrect reports suggested Calvin had become “intimidated” by Taylor’s international success.
But in his only public comments since the split, he tweeted: “The only truth here is that a relationship came to an end & what remains is a huge amount of love and respect.”
Tom has become the standout favourite to replace Daniel Craig as Bond after his career-defining role in BBC drama “The Night Manager.”
Bookies suspended betting on Tom becoming Bond when a flurry of bets were placed on him after he was spotted meeting with 007 film director Sam Mendes and producer Barbara Broccoli in London.
Tom has previously been linked to a host of actresses.
Most recently, he was rumoured to be dating “I Saw The Light” co-star Elizabeth Olsen, 26, as they enjoyed a string of romantic date nights in London.
Despite this, it seems things fizzled out between the pair and Elizabeth dismissed rumours that the two had struck up a real-life romance this March as “a bunch of strangers saying a bunch of stuff that they don’t know about.”
Previously in July 2013, Tom was spotted going for dinner with “Sherlock” actress Lara Pulver which started dating rumors.
He was also linked to “Crimson Peak” co-star Jessica Chastain in January 2013 and he even attended her karaoke-themed birthday bash.
However, Tom’s longest relationship was with Susannah Fielding – who he dated between 2008 and 2011.
The pair met on the set of the BBC show “Wallander” but split when Tom’s career became his focus.
At the time he said: “Acting just demands everything and if you don’t give it everything, there will be someone behind you who will.”
Posh actor Hiddleston went to Eton and gained a double-first in classics at Cambridge University.
A talent agent spotted him while performing in a uni production of “A Streetcar Named Desire” and after graduating he studied acting at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.
In 2008 he won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Newcomer In A Play for his role in “Cymbeline” and three years later won the Empire Award for Best Male Newcomer and was also nominated for the Bafta Rising Star Award for his role in “Thor.”
Taylor is one of the world’s biggest music stars, with her most recent album 1989 establishing her as one of the most successful pop stars of her generation.
Ex Calvin hinted he was aware of the pictures.
First he deleted the heartfelt tweet he posted the day after his and Taylor’s breakup, which said: “The only truth here is that a relationship came to an end & what remains is a huge amount of love and respect.”
He then followed it with a second tweet, which he also later deleted, adding: “Oh boy it’s about to go down.”
