Tom Hiddleston Left Feeling Awkward After Taylor Swift Mention in Interview

Tom Hiddleston was caught off guard this week when his ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift’s name suddenly came up during a radio interview — and his reaction said it all.

The 44-year-old actor joined his The Life of Chuck co-star Karen Gillan on UK’s Heart radio to chat about downtime activities. Hiddleston casually shared his love for catching up on football highlights and tennis replays, when host Devin Griffin randomly dropped a Taylor Swift mention, noting her “big fan of sourdough blogs” quirk.

Cue the awkwardness. Hiddleston furrowed his brows, tilted his head back, and muttered a puzzled “Hmmm,” clearly unsure how to handle the curveball. The host seemed oblivious to the discomfort, moving on as though nothing had happened.

Karen Gillan quickly jumped in to rescue the moment, pointing out fan theories on TikTok that link Swift’s “sourdough obsession” to potential Super Bowl LX Halftime Show Easter eggs. Swifties, of course, are already dissecting every crumb.

For context, Hiddleston and Swift dated for a whirlwind four months in 2016 — a romance that gave us Hiddleswift, matching “I ❤ T.S.” tank tops, and global paparazzi mayhem. Since then, Hiddleston has rarely spoken about her, though in a 2017 GQ interview, he called her “an amazing woman” and insisted their relationship was “real.”

This time, however, the Marvel star kept it tight-lipped, letting his expression do all the talking. And fans? They noticed. Social media lit up with comments like, “That face says EVERYTHING” and “Protect Loki at all costs!”

Looks like some ex-questions will always sting — even nine years later.
