The couple went public in June but haven't been seen for a while together - and he's not following her on Instagram. Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston spent some time apart after an intense whirlwind relationship. The Blank Space hitmaker has been breaking a sweat in New York and hitting the gym, while Tom has been shooting scenes for the new Avengers movie.

A source close to the couple insisted that there is no trouble between the stars, who are still very much together. “They are 100 per cent still together," the insider told The Sun. They’re focusing on work at the moment but will be back in each other’s company soon.”

Earlier today, Tom sent ripples across social media when he joined Instagram. Tom Hiddleston confirmed that the God of Mischief, Loki, is going to be back on the big screen for the first time in four years. Thor's annoying nemesis, and adopted brother, was unveiled as Tom made his first ever post on Instagram, but strangely didn't follow Taylor Swift.

Tom will appear in Thor: Ragnarok next October and joins a host of actors making appearances in the Marvel movie, including Cate Blanchett, Mark Ruffalo and Idris Elba.

His Instagram post will no doubt get the fan boys excited, but followers of Taylor have been left baffled as to why he has chosen to not follow his girlfriend on the social networking sight.

At the time of writing, Hiddleston had amassed just over 400,000 followers, but he was following zero accounts

One fan commented: "Follow Taylor, nobody knew you before you dated." Another demanded: "Please post pictures of you and Taylor."

There's no reason as yet as to why he wouldn't follow Taylor, who was once the most popular account holder on Instagram.

The couple have been having to cope with not being at each other's side as he's busy filming the blockbuster down in Australia, and she's living life in the USA. He recently had to deny rumours that his relationship with T-Swizzle was fake. He said: "That notion is, look, the truth is that Taylor Swift and I are together, and we're very happy. Thanks for asking. That's the truth. It's not a publicity stunt."
