Fans Are Worried About Tom Hiddleston After Hearing Taylor Swift's Song 'Getaway Car'


One of the most devastating songs on Taylor Swift‘s new album, Reputation, is “Getaway Car.” Not sonically, of course—it’s a total bop—but lyrically: It centers on a woman, presumably Swift, using a new, great guy to essentially get away from her ex-boyfriend. The whirlwind relationship is personified with a “getaway car”; the first few weeks with this guy are blissful and fun, but they eventually run out of gas—and, in hindsight, she views the relationship as a bit impulsive. In other words, this dude’s a rebound, which isn’t the best feeling.

Swift doesn’t drop names on the song, but it didn’t take long for fans to guess who it’s about. Flashback to 2016: Shortly after Swift broke up with her longtime boyfriend Calvin Harris, she started dating Tom Hiddleston—but their relationship ended after just a few months. It’s the only relationship triangle from Swift’s recent personal life that fits the narrative of “Getaway Car”—that we know of, at least. (It’s definitely possible she has this entire private existence we know nothing about.)

So, naturally, everyone’s feeling pretty bad for Hiddleston right now. People on social media have already decided he’s the subject of “Getaway Car”—the rebound—and they’re sending their condolences.

Here are just a few of the, “Awww, poor Tom” posts we found on Twitter:

To be honest, Hiddleston’s probably doing just fine. He’s a hot, very successful movie star with a British accent. That’s the dream.

That being said, though, this recent photo of him holding a puppy and looking sad isn’t helping his case. Homeboy needs to throw on his Loki costume and post a goofy video to Instagram just to show people he’s not shook over this song.

Taylor Swift Debuts New Love Song 'New Year's Day'


Sorry Haylor stans, but this isn’t the song you’ve been waiting for.

When Taylor Swift’s Reputation track list was released just days ago, sleuthing Swifities took to dissecting each song’s name for clues, crafting theories both sensical and non. And, unsurprisingly, one of those theories harkened back to the ye olde days of Swift’s relationship with Harry Styles (known in the fandom as “Haylor”). Fans surmised that “New Year’s Day” may refer to the now-iconic image of Swift sitting alone on a boat following a new year’s breakup with Styles. The coincidence seemed all too perfect, but also, that breakup happened in 2012, so it was nonetheless farfetched. Regardless, fans hoped Taylor would finally spill the tea on why she and Harry did not ring in the new year.

But now, with Swift’s debut of the track “New Year’s Day” Thursday night on ABC, during an episode of Scandal—the irony is not lost that she has been embroiled in several “scandals” over the past year herself—fans have confirmation that the song is not at all about Haylor. Instead it is about, both literally and figuratively, New Year’s Day. In the ballad, which was pre-recorded during a Secret Sessions in her Rhode Island home, Swift details cleaning up after a night of partying. There’s glitter and candle wax and polaroids (of course), but it’s OK because she will gladly partake in the unglamorous activity of tidying up, if her beau is in it for the “long road.”

No mention of boats. No mention of the British Virgin Islands. No mention of paper airplanes. Guess Haylor is finally dead.

But fret not, because another fan theory alive and well, even after her performance. Other fans, albeit without proof, hoped the final track on her album would reveal an engagement to Joe Alwyn. While neither the song (nor performance) revealed any kind marriage news, it was, above all else, a love song—seemingly dedicated to Joe, much like “Gorgeous”—in which she promises to stay with someone through all the ups and downs. “I’ll be there through the toast of the town babe / Or if you strike out and you’re crawling home,” she sings. “But I stay when it’s hard or it’s wrong or we’re making mistakes / I want your midnights / But I’ll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Year’s Day.”

It’s no ring, but we’ll take what we can get.

Watch her performance below, and stay tuned for many more fan theories, because her whole album drops at midnight.

Taylor Swift Debuts a New Surprised Face After Winning Song of the Year at the CMAs


One of the hallmarks of “Old” Taylor Swift is her surprised face. You know what I’m talking about: It’s the wide-eyed, open-mouthed expression Swift made every time she scooped up an award between 2007 and 2014. The surprised face was endearing at first—because it seemed genuine—but as the years went on, some people grew skeptical of it. Swift even mocked the face in her “Look What You Made Me Do” video—and perfectly captured people’s feelings about it when she had one of her clones say, “You can’t possibly be that surprised all the time.”

Well, she can be, but the face is changing. Exhibit A: Last night’s Country Music Awards, when Swift, unsurprisingly, won Song of the Year for “Better Man” (which she wrote for the band Little Big Town). Swift wasn’t at the actual ceremony because she has Saturday Night Live rehearsals, but a friend filmed her reaction to finding out she won the big award. And her surprised face was—well, just have a look at it yourself:

It’s different, right? Instead of widening her eyes and placing her hands over her mouth, New Taylor stares at her friend intently and cocks her head. It’s the expression you made in math class when you studied all night but recognized nothing on the exam. Or the face you made when your best friend told you she’s getting back together with her scrub ex-boyfriend. It’s quite literally the face Aubrey Plaza makes in this (haunting) Parks and Recreation GIF.

In other words, it’s intense—like Swift gave her surprised face the “Bad Blood” treatment or something. But isn’t that the Reputation era in a nutshell? Even the surprised face gets a makeover.

Old Taylor might really be dead, after all…because New Surprised Face Taylor killed her. (Kidding.)

The Necklace Taylor Swift's Been Wearing Lately Confirms Her New Song Is About Joe Alwyn


Taylor Swift’s new song “Call It What You Want” is filled with dozens of Easter eggs. She references several of her past songs in it, and she even starts singing at a significant time mark: Thirteen seconds, her lucky number. Fans know by now nothing Swift does is coincidence, so they’re having fun unpacking this new song, which features some of the most poignant lyrics we’ve heard from Reputation.

Like most Swift tunes, though, the question of, “Who is it about?” keeps popping up. Finding out the answer to this is difficult most of the time, but not in the case of “Call It What You Want.” Nope. All you have to do is look at her accessories.

Lately, Swift’s been spotted wearing what looks like a Tiffany necklace with a “J” initial on it. She rocked this piece of jewelry when she served as a bridesmaid at her best friend’s wedding over the summer, and she’s worn it at her Reputation secret listening sessions. Check it out for yourself, below:

So how does this tie into “Call It What You Want?” Well, at one point in the song, she sings, “I want to wear his initial / On a chain round my neck, chain round my neck / Not because he owns me / But ’cause he really knows me.” Hmmm, “his initial on a chain around her neck?” Sort of like the necklace she’s currently accessorizing with all her outfits? It’s more than obvious this song is about her current boyfriend, Joe Alwyn, whose name—brace yourselves—starts with the letter “J.” See the fan tweet, below, for more information.

This is the third song from Reputation that fans think is about Alwyn. “Gorgeous,” which Swift released last week, contains several lyrics that suggest its subject is the 26-year-old actor. “You should take it as a compliment / That I got drunk and made fun of the way you talk,” she sings. (Alwyn is British.) “Ready for It,” Swift’s second Reputation single, is all about the bubbly phase of a new relationship—and Alwyn and Swift have only been dating a year.

Mind blown, right? Well, not really. I mean, If I was dating a cute British actor, I’d sing about him all the time, too.

Listen to Taylor Swift's 'Call It What You Want', Her First Slow Song Off 'Reputation'


We are just one week away from the release of Taylor Swift’s next album, Reputation, but she isn’t done teasing fans yet. The singer dropped her fourth—yes, fourth—single from the album on Thursday night (November 2), and get this: It’s a slow jam titled “Call It What You Want.” Unsurprisingly, it’s stunning.

We don’t want to keep you waiting any longer, so listen to it, below, and then we can discuss.

“Call It What You Want” is certainly feels like a departure from the first three songs Swift released from Reputation (“Look What You Made Me Do,” “Ready for It,” and “Gorgeous”). Those songs were lyrically creative, of course, but they were more sonically-driven than anything. They were total bops, plain and simple: electronic confections with genius, plastic hooks and snappy one-liners. “Call It What You Want,” however, is a softer sound, stuffed with Swift’s signature gut-wrenching lyrics.

Swift first teased the new song on Instagram Thursday morning. She published three posts that included these lyrics: “Holding my breath / Slowly I said / You don’t need to save me / Call it what you want / But would you run away with me / Yes.”

Fans quickly noticed the lyrics seemed to parallel Swift’s 2008 song “Love Story,” in which she laments about wanting a “Romeo” type to save her. On “Call It What You Want,” though, she flips the switch. She doesn’t need saving anymore.

What does need saving, though, is pop music in 2017—and that’s exactly what Swift’s doing with Reputation. The album drops everywhere next Friday, November 10. Get ready.

Selena Gomez's New Song 'Wolves' Is a Total Jam


Selena Gomez is the queen of EDM collaborations. Her 2015 hit with Zedd, “I Want You to Know,” is a zipping, technicolor delight that features some of her most interesting vocals to date. “It Ain’t Me,” her song with Kygo that dropped earlier this year, is trippy, catchy, and stuffed with effects. And now she’s continuing her dance-floor reign with “Wolves,” a new, absolutely addictive collaboration with Marshmello.

The lyrics are pretty straightforward—Gomez laments about running with the wolves to reach some guy—but the production is what takes “Wolves” to another level. It’s a warm blend of Avicii’s 2012 smash “Wake Me Up,” Justin Bieber and Halsey’s collaboration “The Feeling,” and even a little bit of Gomez’s own song “Hands to Myself.” And her vocals are clear, crisp, and strong—a feat when the electronic production is this involved. (Her voice was sort of lost in the shuffle on both “I Want You to Know”and “It Ain’t Me,” but not here.)

Listen to “Wolves” for yourself, below. It sounds even better after the second spin.

This is the fourth song Gomez has released this year. She ushered in her new era with “Bad Liar,” a retro-pop tune that samples “Psycho Killer” by the Talking Heads. “Fetish,” a hip-hop grind jam featuring a rap from Gucci Mane, followed shortly after. “Bad Liar,” “Fetish,” and “Wolves,” are all sonically and lyrically different, which makes it difficult to imagine what Gomez’s forthcoming album will sound like. There’s one common thread between them, though: They’re exactly the types of songs Gomez wants to release right now. It’s clear she’s experimenting and having fun with this new music; she’s not really thinking about the “pop package” of it all—that’s what it seems like, at least. And it’s exciting. Cheers to this period being her most electric and autonomous yet.
