Make like Taylor with a monogram bag by Louis Vuitton

Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston are all loved-up, which means we can expect plenty of date night outfit inspiration from the superstar singer in the coming weeks as their romance blossoms.

She kept things simple and chic when they were spotted out for dinner in Tennessee, wearing black shorts by Lavish Alice. But it was her arm candy that really caught our attention. We're in love!

Her bag is by Louis Vuitton and we adore the signature monogram print and zip detail. It's the perfect size for all your evening essentials, plus the top handle is perfect for carrying it in the crook of your arm in a very ladylike way à la Taylor.

The Shake It Off hit-maker introduced the Night Manager actor to her friends, and they all looked to be getting along well. 

She flashed her long lean legs in a black playsuit, carrying her belongings in a Louis Vuitton handbag. 

Her recently peroxide blonde tresses appear to be more toned down to a honey-tone as the inseparable new couple kept a tight hold of each other.

Tom also wore black and seemed to be relaxed as he chatted with Taylor. 

The couple headed for dinner at Adele's in the Gulch area of the City, where they possibly dined on Gulf Red Snapper for $25 or Pork Spare Ribs for $24. 

At one point they were seen holding hands across the table and Taylor affectionately put her hand behind the British star's head.

Earlier in the day, Taylor was with her mum and dad, Scott and Andrea, as she attended the Country Music Hall of Fame. 

It's not thought Tom was present with the trio, but no doubt Taylor has told them about her new man and is said to be close to making the significant introduction. 

The British actor has been spending time with the beauty in her home town, since they were first spotted kissing on a beach in Rhode Island.

They've been maxing out their time together, and were seen smooching at Selena Gomez's show on Tuesday night.  

They were first seen dancing together at the Met Gala on May 2, getting back in touch after Taylor Swift's split from Calvin Harris a month later. 

A source even told Us Weekly that the pop princess will soon introduce him to her parents, Scott and Andrea, as well as her beloved cats Meredith and Olivia, and it seems that moment is moving ever closer.

As fans know, meeting the cats is a big milestone for anyone in Taylor's life, as they mean a great deal to the Blank Space hitmaker.

She frequently posts about them on her social media accounts and often discusses how much it pains her whenever she can't be around them.

Meanwhile, the Avengers star reportedly also wants to get serious with Taylor, with a source telling the publication that he has 'wanted to settle down for a while.'

'I think he will introduce Taylor to his mates soon,' the source close to Tom added.

And an insider close to the singer revealed to HollywoodLife.com on Monday that she is 'eager' for the actor to meet her mother. 

'Taylor and her mom are super close, so it’s just a matter of time that the three of them will get to spend time together. If Taylor and Tom weren’t serious, she wouldn’t waste her mom’s time,' the source told the outlet.

Meanwhile, Taylor's ex Calvin allegedly responded to fans on his Instagram account after they began asking what happened between him and Taylor on Thursday.

However Entertainment Tonight reported shortly afterward that the DJ's rep denied he wrote the comments - but stopped short of explaining who did.

All the comments were subsequently deleted, but not before they were screengrabbed by fans and posted on the internet for all eternity.

Among the comments was an Instagram user who suggested the DJ was just jealous because Taylor had moved on, but Calvin's account appeared to reply: 'not jealous sir, FREE'.
