[Hiddleswift happened](http://time.com/4421750/tom-hiddleston-taylor-swift-relationship-authentic/?iid=sr-link3) — and then didn’t! [He joined Instagram](http://time.com/4450589/tom-hiddleston-taylor-swift-instagram/?iid=sr-link1)! But it looks like at least one thing will last through the fall: despite the breakup, it appears Hiddleston hasn’t been officially excommunicated from the all-important Taylor Swift squad. In a red carpet interview from the Emmy’s on Sunday night, [_People_ asked Hiddleston](http://www.people.com/people/package/article/0,,21026212%5F21030973,00.html) if he and Swift were still friends. His response? “Yes. Yes, we are.” That’s good news, as unless he was planning [on joining Team Kimye](http://time.com/4411055/kanye-west-taylor-swift-kim-kardashian-feud/?iid=sr-link1), the Swift circle is one you don’t want to be excluded from. It’s a friend group that includes everyone from Kiwi music wunderkind Lorde to top model Karlie Kloss to golden couple Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, after all. And with the festive season coming up, the invites to the squad Halloween costume parties and Friendsgiving dinners are definitely not events Hiddleston will want to miss. Just [think of the Instagram opportunities](http://time.com/4394697/tom-hiddleston-taylor-swift-july-4th/?iid=sr-link6) to boost his nascent account. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4499314/emmys-2016-tom-hiddleston-taylor-swift/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4499314/emmys-2016-tom-hiddleston-taylor-swift/"},"headline":"Here’s What Tom Hiddleston Had to Say About Taylor Swift on the Emmys Red Carpet","datePublished":"2016-09-19T15:42:57.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:36:42.891Z","description":"Maybe some couples really can still be friends","url":"https://time.com/4499314/emmys-2016-tom-hiddleston-taylor-swift/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","celebrities"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt8cfedb0b6d92925f/6988a6a9524fc018c6df986d/tom-hiddleston-ifc.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt8cfedb0b6d92925f/6988a6a9524fc018c6df986d/tom-hiddleston-ifc.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"AMC Networks' 68th Primetime Emmy Awards After-Party Celebration - Arrivals","caption":"AMC Networks' 68th Primetime Emmy Awards After-Party Celebration - Arrivals","creditText":"Amanda Edwards—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4499314/emmys-2016-tom-hiddleston-taylor-swift/","name":"Here’s What Tom Hiddleston Had to Say About Taylor Swift on the Emmys Red Carpet"}}]}] ```
