Tom Hiddleston Reveals The Truth Behind That ‘I Heart T.S.’ Tank Top He Wore At Taylor Swift’s Fourth Of July Party

So was it all just a joke?

Let’s all take a moment to cast our minds back to July 4, 2016, when Taylor Swift and her then boyfriend Tom Hiddleston were in the midst of quite the summer romance at her annual get together.

The sun was shining, the waves were crashing, and the Brit actor was spotted wearing a white tank top that had ‘I Heart T.S.’ printed on it.

This of course became quite the ~thing~ for most of July and 2016 for that matter, as the world couldn’t quite get their heads around the quite-so-public declaration of love.

But now Tom himself has spoken about his relationship with Tay, and more importantly the tank top situation.

“The truth is it was the Fourth of July and a public holiday and we were playing a game and I slipped and hurt my back. And I wanted to protect the graze from the sun and said, ‘Does anyone have a T-shirt?’ And one of her friends said, ‘I’ve got this…and we all laughed about it. It was a joke. It was a joke. Among friends,” he explained in his cover interview with GQ.

So there you have it, it was just a joke. While he also goes on to address the fact that many thought their relationship was fake.

“Of course it was real. Taylor is an amazing woman. She’s generous and kind and lovely, and we had the best time…

“So we decided to go out for dinner, we decided to travel… She’s incredible. A relationship in the limelight… A relationship always takes work. And it’s not just the limelight. It’s everything else.”

Wow, this is a lot to taken in after months of silence.
