Swift’s ‘Getaway Car’ from her 2017 album Reputation is the first one that comes to mind. Many Swifties have believed for a long time that the song is about her romance with Hiddleston.

The lyrics read, “It was the best of times, the worst of crimes / I struck a match and blew your mind / But I didn’t mean it / And you didn’t see it / The ties were black, the lies were white / In shades of grey in candlelight / I wanted to leave him / I needed a reason.”

And at one point, she sang, “It’s no surprise I turned you in / Cause us traitors never win.” Fans believe this line refers to Swift calling herself a traitor as she left Calvin for Hiddleston, and they eventually broke up.

Moreover, the lyrics “You were drivin’ the getaway car / We were flyin’, but we’d never get far” had people thinking that Swift was talking about the different places she and Hiddleston traveled in the short time they were together.

Last but not least is the lyrics, “Shoulda known I’d be the first to leave / Think about the place where you first met me.” The first verse of this part led netizens to believe that Swift was the one who initiated the breakup.

So, that was ‘Getaway Car.’ Besides this song, what other Taylor Swift songs are about Tom Hiddleston? Some Swifties believe that the singer’s ‘Midnight Rain’ from her 2022 album Midnights referenced the English actor.

One part of the song reads, “He wanted a bride; I was making my own name.” Some fans believe it references Hiddleston, who wanted to pace things in their relationship. On the other hand, some think it’s about Taylor Lautner, who is now a married man.

Furthermore, many of Swift’s fans believe that she has talked about her togetherness with Hiddleston in many of her songs, such as ‘Cruel Summer,’ ‘I Did Something Bad,’ ‘Gorgeous,’ ‘Long Story Short,’ and ‘evermore.’

Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston’s relationship details

By now, everyone must be aware of Swift and Hiddleston’s short-lived romance. And for those who aren’t, we’ve got you!

Swift and Hiddleston were first spotted at a dinner party in New York City on May 1, 2016, weeks after Swift’s break up with ex-boyfriend Harris. One day later, Swift and Hiddleston were dancing together at the 2016 Met Gala.

The romance rumors immediately brewed and were eventually confirmed in June 2016 after The Sun published pictures of them having a PDA-filled moment near Swift’s Rhode Island home.

Things between the duo seemed more serious – despite dating only for some months – when Hiddleston visited his then-girlfriend’s parents, Andrea and Scott, in Nashville on June 21, 2016. On the same day, they were seen dancing at one of Selena Gomez’s gigs.

Days later, on June 25, Swift met with Hiddleston’s mother in England, after which they went to Rome and Australia’s Gold Coast. And if all of this wasn’t fast enough, Hiddleston was seen donning an “I heart T.S.” t-shirt on the Fourth of July party at Swift’s house.

These fast-paced happenings made people question if their relationship was a PR stunt. Hiddleston addressed the rumors, saying, “How best to put this? The truth is that Taylor Swift and I are together, and we’re very happy. Thanks for asking. That’s the truth. It’s not a publicity stunt.”

But as days passed and the limelight was still very much on the couple, their relationship began to take a toll. Their hectic schedules also kept them apart, and reports indicate that Hiddleston wanted to go more public with his relationship with Swift.

A source told DailyMail, “Tom’s need for their relationship to be so public so quickly makes her uncomfortable. She tried to be OK with it in the beginning but fears he is in love with the idea of her and not falling in love with her for the right reasons.”

But Hiddleston’s choices didn’t align well with Swift, which was one of the reasons for their break up. Their split was announced in August 2016, and at the time, it was reported that Swift was the one that pulled the plug on their relationship.

And while they broke up, Hiddleston didn’t bad mouth his ex-girlfriend. Besides, in his 2017 interview with GQ, he stated, “Taylor is an amazing woman. She’s generous and kind and lovely, and we had the best time. Of course, it was real.”

As of August 2023, Hiddleston has happily moved on with his girlfriend-turned-fiancé, Zawe Ashton, with whom he recently welcomed a baby. As for Swift, she recently broke up with her longtime boyfriend, Joe Alwyn, and is currently on her The Eras Tour.
