We’ll bet your July Fourth festivities weren’t as frolicsome as those of Taylor Swift (far right) and new boyfriend, British actor Tom Hiddleston. The cute couple and some of their celebrity friends had a beach party at Swift’s multimillion-dollar seaside compound in Rhode Island, and there was a lot of PDA. The pair partied with a crowd that included Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively, Gigi Hadid, Karlie Kloss, Ruby Rose, and Uzo Aduba. Though the relationship is still in its early stages — there’s some speculation that it all may be for show — Hiddleston, 35, already appears to be head over heels. How else to explain the ridiculous tank top he was wearing, the one with “I heart T.S.’’ on the front? Swift seems to have all but forgotten about Calvin Harris, with whom she spent July Fourth last year.
