I think it’s important to start by declaring my allegiance to #TeamTaylor.

I jumped on the Swifty bandwagon as soon as I heard the opening bars ofShake It Offand since then I’ve been road tripping with1989on repeat, and dreaming of all the ways I can infiltrate her famous ‘girl squad’ and make her by BFF 4 eva.

I’m also #TeamTaylor when it comes to her love life.

I’ve watched in horror as the world has turned on Taylor since splitting with her DJ boyfriend of 15 months, Calvin Harris, and swiftly (sorry) moving on to a new romance with James Bond hopeful – and everybody’s Internet boyfriend – Tom Hiddleston.

To this I say, ‘let a girl love in peace!’ In the words of Taylor’s bestie Selena Gomez, sometimes “the heart wants what it wants”. And maybe Taylor hearts Tom. For real. via GIPHY

But, there’s a part of me that spends way too much time reading anonymous celebrity gossip articles online (everyone has a guilty pleasure, right?) and makes me question whether ANY Hollywood relationship is ever real. There are too many career advantages, too much at stake, for two, high-profile stars to simply stumble into each other’s arms and live happily ever after.
