It feels like a perfect night burn.

You may have had enough of the Hiddleswift (Taylor Swift + Tom Hiddleston) romance by now, but Robert Downey Jr. is just getting started. Hiddleston, RDJ’s Marvel movie co-star, joined Instagram on Tuesday, sharing a picture of himself in his Loki costume from “Thor: Ragnarok.” Fans rejoiced, while Iron Man (Downey) just couldn’t resist.

Sharing a photo of Hiddleston in his infamous “I (Heart) T.S.” shirt, Downey unleashed a super-powered Taylor Swift burn, writing, “Join me in welcoming the biggest T. Stark fan of them all to Instagram!”

It’s doubtful that the “T.S.” on Hiddleston’s shirt is actually referring to RDJ’s Marvel character, Tony Stark/Iron Man, but it’s pretty hilarious/perfect.

After sporting the shirt, showing up in bizarre pics that look more like engagement photos and appearing in a photo with Swift and her pals (that had many people jokingly speculating Ryan Reynolds was being held hostage), Hiddleston has appeared to downplay his love story with the singer.

Because of that, it’s doubtful the actor is thrilled about RDJ poking fun at his relationship in front of the entire world.

But hey, as Swift says, boys only want love if it’s torture. Don’t say she didn’t warn ya.
