And travel they did. **t only did the two partake in some romantic dates around the world, but Tom quickly became an ho**rary member of Taylor's squad. He even joined in on her iconic Fourth of July bash, where he was spotted wearing that fateful tank top that will live on in infamy. So why exactly did he decide to make such a bold fashion statement? After hurting his back during a game, he claims he wanted to protect his graze from the sun and borrowed a tank top - the tank top - from one of Taylor's friends. "It was a joke," he said. "Among friends."
Even though their relationship came to a close shortly after, Tom admits he doesn't regret a thing. "I only k**w the woman I met. She's incredible," he adds. "A relationship in the limelight . . . A relationship always takes work. And it's **t just the limelight. It's everything else." Even though he's still trying to figure out how to have a personal life without hiding it, he hasn't given up on finding love. "You can't live in fear of what people might say," he says. "You k**w, you have to be true to yourself . . . I'm **t going to live my life in hiding."
