Tom Hiddleston got a quiet shout-out as a famous ex of Taylor Swift‘s at the People’s Choice Awards — but the dude took it in stride and was all smiles … which kinda speaks volumes.
The actor was among many famous faces on hand Sunday during the broadcast — and while host Simu Liu was making a Swifite joke … the cameras cut to Tom right at the tail end of it, but he wasn’t a sourpuss about it. If anything, he was quite the good sport!
Here’s what happened … Simu was doing his monologue, and at one point in his remarks — he shouted a movie this year about a blonde who got everyone to dress up and dance.
No, he wasn’t referring to “Barbie” — as he jokingly noted, it was the “Eras” tour movie.
That got a big laugh, especially as Simu continued to lean into the fact that he was a Swiftie before he was ever cast in “Barbie” … and while he was finishing his gag, Tom’s face popped up on the screen — seemingly without his knowledge, but it certainly felt like a choice.
We’ll admit, if producers just wanted to show him for his connection to Taylor — they briefly dated in the summer of 2016 — it didn’t really make sense, especially in the context of what was being said. Simu was talking about her “1989” album, which TH has nothing to do with.

Again, though … the homeboy wasn’t weird about it either. That’s probably because his little fling with Taylor is one of a few relationships of hers that ended somewhat amicably … so he can be in a room with Taylor’s name being thrown and not be bent out of shape.
Taylor, of course, wasn’t at the show … she’s busy touring down in Australia.
