Tom Hiddleston, the famous ex of Taylor Swift, was in good spirits at the People’s Choice Awards despite being the subject of a lighthearted joke. Host Simu Liu made a reference to Swift’s “Eras” tour movie, and as the cameras cut to Hiddleston, he appeared unfazed and took it in stride.
Key Takeaway
Tom Hiddleston’s gracious reaction to the lighthearted Taylor Swift joke at the People’s Choice Awards reflects his amicable relationship with the pop star despite their past romance.
Good Sport Tom
During the broadcast, Simu Liu incorporated a playful jab at Taylor Swift, mentioning a movie about a blonde who got everyone to dress up and dance, alluding to Swift’s “Eras” tour movie. The audience laughed as Liu humorously emphasized his Swiftie roots before being cast in “Barbie.” As the joke concluded, the cameras captured Hiddleston’s reaction, seemingly without his awareness, which added an unexpected twist to the moment.
Unfazed by the Spotlight
Although the choice to feature Hiddleston in connection to Taylor Swift seemed out of place given the context of the joke, Hiddleston remained composed. Despite briefly dating Swift in the summer of 2016, their relationship ended amicably, allowing Hiddleston to maintain a positive demeanor even when her name is brought up.
Taylor’s Absence
Notably, Taylor Swift was not in attendance at the show, as she is currently occupied with her tour in Australia.
