Tom Hiddleston declares love for Taylor Swift with T-shirt choice

Tom Hiddleston sported an "I heart T.S." top as he frolicked with girlfriend Taylor Swift at an Independence Day beach party.

The new couple were joined by Taylor's squad as they celebrated the holiday weekend on a beach near the singer's Rhode Island home on Sunday (03Jul16).

But it was Tom's top that garnered the most attention. The 35-year-old actor, who is said to be the front runner for the James Bond role, looked confident in his choice of attire, with his muscle tank setting the record straight on his true feelings for his 26-year-old other half. Tom further declared his feelings by sporting a temporary love heart tattoo featuring the singer's initials in the center on his right bicep.

Taylor looked thrilled with her man's cheeky references to their relationship, smiling widely as she lavished attention on the actor while they splashed in the sea.

Shake It Off singer Taylor also courted attention in her outfit - a sexy red bikini which had "America" emblazoned on the chest.

It was anything but a private celebration for "Hiddleswift", however, as the pair were joined by several members of Taylor's infamous girl squad.

Gigi Hadid, Cara Delevingne, Ruby Rose, Karlie Kloss and Uzo Aduba posed alongside Taylor and Tom for a group picture in the surf. Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, who are expecting their second child together, were also present for the festivities.

Having embraced pregnancy, Blake showed off her burgeoning bump in a barely-there bikini, looking happy and glowing as she cuddled and kissed her superstar husband.

Taylor and Tom's relationship has moved at warp speed since it began less than a month ago. Their romance was revealed not long after the singer split from DJ Calvin Harris, and Tom and Taylor have already met each other's parents. However, some people, including chat show host Wendy Williams, have speculated that the pairing is simply to further Tom's career in a bid to secure him the Bond role.
