Is Taylor Swift's unconfirmed new romance with actor Tom Hiddleston going to last forever or go down in flames? Chinese fans can now place their bets on how they think their idol's new found love is going to end on Taobao.
China's biggest online marketplace is promoting the Hiddleswift "breakup insurance" plan that promises to at least double the investor's bet f Tay Tay and Tom Hiddleston decide to call it quits.

According to Xinhua News Agency, netizens started on casting their bets on the Blank Space singer this week, with each bet costing 1 yuan (15 cents). It sounds like easy money; however, here's the catch: the couple must break up within the year to turn the bet into profit.
There are also some limitations of how much users can invest. So far, the highest bidder posted 400 yuan ($60).
However, in case you are searching for the website now to place your bet, the posting, unfortunately, has been taken down after it reached the international news, Shanghaiist reported.
Following the report, some Weibo users expressed disappointment for missing their chance, saying, "Well, I won't buy a new bag; instead, I'll just use that money to gamble on her brief relationship."
"Where's the breakup insurance? I'm going to bet on her relationship too," another commented as quoted by Shanghaiist.
Such a plan, however, is not new. Similar insurance plans for celebrity couples, such as Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom, used to be offered too.
On the other hand, while the Hiddleswift plan has been put down, Mashable reported that there are still other offers if you know where to look. For instance, Chinese netizens are betting on whether Katy Perry is taking home a 2017 Grammy Award.
