After three-month whirlwind romance, Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston split

IT was the love affair no one saw coming – but now Tom Hiddleston and Taylor Swift are finished.

After a three-month fairytale romance, first revealed by The Sun, the two unlikely lovebirds have gone their separate ways.

Taylor, 26, and 35-year-old Tom have swapped their schmaltzy public courtship for a behind-the-scenes fallout — with each side blaming the other.

Friends revealed that the superstar singer has tired of Tom, revealing she just wants to “shake him off”.

One confidante told The Sun: “It was fun while it lasted, but Taylor has now had enough.

“Tom’s a great guy but there’s no room for him in her life.

“She doesn’t want a serious relationship and that’s where it was heading.

“It was all far too public, in the end.

“Tom freaked her out with his love of the limelight.

“But once things have all died down they are likely to remain friends.”

The source added that Taylor was not interested in being part of a “power couple”.

The source said: “Being in a relationship which brings so much attention is not her thing.

“It’s all about her being an individual and a strong, independent woman.

“Taylor is so focused on her career it’s unreal.

“She is in control of her life, that’s a fact.

“She is the driving force in what she does and where she goes, and she certainly won’t let a boyfriend interfere with that.”

But pals of Brit actor hit back, saying it was SHE who loved the limelight and Tom simply played along to keep her happy.

One said: “Tom has supported Taylor in everything she does, going along with her antics like splashing around in the sea with all her pals.

“All he has ever wanted to do was make her happy — and she always seemed to be.”

A flashpoint is said to been Taylor’s refusal to attend the upcoming Emmy TV awards with him.

Tom is up for Best Actor, for his role as spy Jonathan Pine in BBC drama The Night Manager, at the ceremony at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on September 18.

Pals of his say he was “humiliated” by what he sees as a high profile snub.

One said: “He’s done his duty, so he thought it was only fair she repays the favour herself and is by Tom’s side at the Emmys.

“He’s humiliated that she’s so against it and won’t put her tradition of avoiding red carpet events with boyfriends to one side for him on his big night.”

Taylor’s reluctance to attend the Emmys only adds to the debate on whether she actually really likes Tom.

This is something the world has been feverishly discussing ever since we published our exclusive pictures of the pair fooling around on the rocks outside Taylor’s Rhode Island beach house in June.
