I’ve been devouring every piece of information possible when it comes to the world’s most talked about couple (that’s quite a feat when they’ve only been together for a couple of weeks.) Pictures, tweets, songs, endless threads on fan pages – you name it, I’ve seen it.

There’s one question the world simply can’t stop asking when it comes to Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston: are they for real?

So, we’ve scoured the web for the craziest conspiracy theories about what is really going on between the famous pair. Get ready to be shocked.

With Daniel Craig stepping down from his role as Bond, James Bond very soon, Tom has been the bookies’ number one pick. What better way to sell him in as the world’s biggest ladies man than to pair him up with the biggest singer on the planet.

Nobody. Sorry, Kimye, but Hiddleswift have officially taken over from you as the world’s most photographed pair.

5. They’re genuinely in love…oh, and she’s pregnant.

Maybe Hiddleswift is here to remind us all that TRUE LOVE STILL EXISTS. That this is a true Love Story and there’s no Bad Blood between T-Swizzle and the press. (Sorry, couldn’t help myself.)

Maybe the rush to meet the parents, introduce Tom to her friends and make sure the world knows they’re in love is because…cue suspenseful music…she’s expecting! Even though we saw those bikini pics from Taylor’s Fourth of July party and we’re pretty sure that’s not the case. But, hey, it’s a theory nonetheless.
