2 minute read

Taylor Swift and her new beau Tom Hiddleston have been anything but secretive about their relationship. Hiddleswift/Swoki/Tomlor/your cleverer portmanteau here has already been spotted in multiple public places, including most recently at Swift’s star-studded 4th of July party.

Conspiracy theorists took to their natural habitat, Twitter, to share how they knew Hiddleswift was a fixed game from the get-go. Here are the six most entertaining guesses as to why the celeb couple is so brazenly affectionate:
