Some would-be Taylor Swift squad members (including Chloe Grace Moretz and Selena Gomez) have predictably been jumping to the singer’s defense on social media after some pretty damning evidence — posted to Kim Kardashian’s Snapchat account yesterday — revealed that Swift did in fact know in advance about some of the lyrical content of Kanye West’s “Famous” prior to its release. The Snapchat recordings depict ‘Ye on the phone at his studio, where a supportive Swift, on the other end of the line, makes small talk and approves the lyric “I may still have sex with Taylor Swift.” She also is okay with West’s bold claim, “I made her famous,” though understandably, part of her outrage after the song’s release was that he substituted the female pronoun for “that b*tch.”
The Snapchats appeared at a time when Swift is already under scrutiny over her breakup with Calvin Harris and her current relationship with actor Tom Hiddleston.
One person, though, who’s remained silent regarding the viral Internet drama is the aforementioned Tom “Not A Publicity Stunt” Hiddleston, who’s been in Australia with Swift as he begins work on his next film, Thor: Ragnarok.
So far, the actor has maintained a stiff upper lip for which Brits are known, but don’t worry, the Internet has been making some lighthearted jokes about him ever since, as we all wonder how he is handling this whole fiasco.

Taylor begs Tom Hiddleston not to go to Kim and Kanye's house to defend her honor. He loves her so much. He already has his jacket on.

Tom Hiddleston sobbing on the phone to his publicist right now like “I just wanted to be James Bond. You never said it would be like this.”

Did Kim just checkmate Tom Hiddleston into proposing? He has to, right? To divert media attention?

This one best exemplifies the circus that will be continuing in the upcoming months, though:
I hope Rob Kardashian dates Taylor Swift and Blac Chyna moves on to Tom Hiddleston
