Overview

  • During a Thursday appearance on the U.K.’s Heart Radio with Karen Gillan, host Devin Griffin remarked that Taylor Swift is a “big fan of a sourdough recipe blog.”
  • Hiddleston paused, furrowed his brow, and responded only with a quiet “hmm” before Gillan steered the conversation away.
  • Gillan joked the sourdough detail seemed like an “Easter egg,” echoing fan theories that speculate about Super Bowl ties, which have not been confirmed.
  • Heart posted the exchange on TikTok and Instagram with the caption “When you accidentally mention their ex,” and the clip quickly drew wide viewership and comments about Hiddleston’s discomfort.
  • Coverage revisited their brief 2016 relationship and noted present circumstances — Swift dating Travis Kelce and Hiddleston engaged to Zawe Ashton — with no further comment from the stars or the station beyond the viral clip.
