Tom Hiddleston has revealed how Taylor Swift made him get up and dance at the Met Gala event.

Speaking to our Ents team the actor confessed he'd only met the 'Shake It Off' star the night before.

At the prestigious event in New York the pair had been sat at the same table watching The Weeknd play, when Taylor leant over and said 'The thing about people playing a gig like this is that nobody dances'.

Then the singer added that if they did an encore the pair 'had' to dance.

So that's exactly what the pair did (who could say no to Taylor?) with Tom saying he found it 'very generous' of her to make the effort for the band.
