After 3 Months Together, Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston Break Up


Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston have broken up after three months together, PEOPLE confirms.

"It was an amicable split," a source tells PEOPLE.

The breakup comes after Swift and Hiddleston haven't been photographed together in over a month. On July 27, the couple hit up the restaurant Hillstone in Santa Monica for a date night.

Shortly after, the pair were separated by the Pacific Ocean for a spell while the English actor filmed the upcoming Thor: Ragnarok in Australia. Then, PEOPLE last reported on the couple reuniting in mid-August when they "enjoyed a quiet weekend at her Rhode Island home. Taylor sent her plane to pick up Tom before the weekend." 
The relationship between the pop star, 26, and Avengers actor, 35, went public on June 15, when photos of the couple frolicking on the beach in Rhode Island hit the Internet.

A whirlwind romance followed next. Within weeks, the pair met each other's parents, celebrated July 4th together at Swift's annual star-studded bash and jet set around the world, enjoying PDA-filled trips to Italy, Australia and everything in between.  

From the beginning, Swift and Hiddleston remained mostly mum about their budding romance – but in July, The Night Manager star did address pop culture conspiracy theorists questioning the authenticity of their relationship.

"Look, the truth is that Taylor Swift and I are together, and we're very happy," Hiddleston told The Hollywood Reporter, finally confirming their relationship. "That's the truth. It's not a publicity stunt." 
Swift and Hiddleston were first seen getting flirty at the Met Gala in New York in May, after an Instagram video of them dancing together to T.I.'s 2004 hit "Bring 'Em Out" went viral.

At the time of the Met Gala, Swift was still dating ex Calvin Harris; PEOPLE exclusively broke the news of Swift and Harris' split on June 1, and multiple sources told PEOPLE there was no cheating involved.

Calvin Harris fails to mention ex Taylor Swift after winning VMA for song she co-wrote


Calvin Harris took home the Moonman at the MTV Video Music Awards for Best Male Video for the mainstream hit "This Is What You Came For," which features vocals by Rihanna and was secretly co-written by his ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift.
Harris, who was a no-show at Sunday's awards show, taped a thank-you message that was played for the Madison Square Garden crowd.
"Wow, wow! First of all, I'm so sorry I can't be there. I have a show tonight in the U.K. otherwise I would definitely be there. MTV, this is crazy," the 32-year-old Scottish DJ-music producer began his video message, before thanking RiRi. "I need to thank Rihanna from the bottom of my heart. You're a superstar. Every time we work together you bring something so magical to the project, so thank you."
Harris also took a moment to single out music video director Emil Nava for his creative vision, but avoided any mention of Swift, who co-wrote the song under the pen name Nils Sjoberg. In July, Swift's rep confirmed to ET that she had contributed both writing and vocals to the track.

"And everybody who supported this song, who watched this video, I love you so much. Thank you, this is amazing. I love you. Thank you MTV!" he ended his message.
ET was on the scene at the VMAs, and following Harris' win, boos were heard from the audience, though it wasn't clear if it was because he skipped the awards show or didn't give Swift recognition for her creative involvement with the song.
Fans took to Twitter to react to Harris' presumed shade at the 26-year-old singer.
"Taylor Swift somewhere trying to think of ways to sue Calvin Harris," one fan wrote.
"Calvin Harris NOT thanking Taylor Swift in his acceptance speech is objectively the most petty/amazing thing I have seen," another added. 
Later in the awards show, Kanye West addressed the phone call he made to Swift before releasing the controversial song, "Famous," which prompted an impromptu "Taylor! Taylor!" chant in the audience.
Harris and Swift, who is now dating British actor Tom Hiddleston, broke up in June after one year of dating.

Taylor Swift donating $1 million to Louisiana flood relief


Taylor Swift is donating $1 million to Louisiana flood relief after torrential rains caused massive flooding in the state and killed at least 11 people.
Swift told The Associated Press on Tuesday that Louisiana residents graciously welcomed her when she kicked off the U.S. dates of her "1989 World Tour" in the state last year.
"We began The 1989 World Tour in Louisiana, and the wonderful fans there made us feel completely at home. The fact that so many people in Louisiana have been forced out of their own homes this week is heartbreaking," the 26-year-old said in a statement.
The flooding is some of the worst in Louisiana history, damaging at least 40,000 homes. More than 60,000 people have registered for disaster aid from the Federal Emergency Management Agency after widespread flooding hit the state, according to Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards' office.
"I encourage those who can to help out and send your love and prayers their way during this devastating time," Swift said.
Over 30,000 people have been rescued since Friday, with more being brought to safety by the hour.
