Matty Healy (2023)
On May 3, 2023, sources told The Sun that Taylor Swift is reportedly dating The 1975 frontman, Matty Healy. A source told the UK gossip site, that the two “are madly in love.” “It’s super-early days, but it feels right. They first dated, very briefly, almost ten years ago but timings just didn’t work out,” the source said. “Taylor and Joe actually split up back in February, so there was absolutely no crossover.”
“Both Matty and Taylor have been touring over the past few weeks, so it’s been a lot of Face-Timing and texting but she cannot wait to see him again,” the source said while Taylor is in the thick of her Eras Tour while Matty is wrapping up The 1975’s At Their Very Best tour. “But as two international megastars, they understand the pressures of one another’s jobs better than anyone, and are incredibly supportive of their respective careers. They are both massively proud and excited about this relationship and, unlike Taylor’s last one — which was very much kept out of the spotlight, deliberately — she wants to ‘own’ this romance, and not hide it away. Taylor just wants to live her life, and be happy. She’s told pals Matty is flying to Nashville over the weekend to support her on the next leg of her tour.”
The two have been spotted together after her Eras tour concerts and they headed out of Electric Lady Studios frequently. It all came to an end on June 5, 2023, when a source told TMZ that the two called it quits when Taylor was reportedly “single.” Fans also noticed that she was crying during one of her surprise songs: “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever in Chicago” a very well-known song about a breakup. A short-lived romance!
In July 2023, Taylor seemingly responded to rumors she and Matty were back together with an Instagram post on Fourth of July captioned: “Happy belated Independence Day from your local neighborhood independent girlies.” HAIM, who was included in the post, also shared the same photo with the caption: “single summer.” A source also told People on July 5, 2023, that Taylor and Matty weren’t even in contact anymore after their breakup. “They are absolutely not together and aren’t even in contact anymore. She is enjoying being single and has been spending time in the studio and hanging out with friends in New York City. This is all B.S.,” the insider said. Another source added, “It’s complete nonsense. Not true at all.”
Rumors Taylor and Matty were back together came after The Sun reported in July 2023 that the two were back on following their breakup. “There is just something electric between them and they seem to have overcome it all quite quickly and decided they definitely want to make it work at all costs,” the insider said. “They’re arranging time together in between tour dates and talking all the time. He’s utterly smitten and it seems to be mutual.”
The source continued, “It sounds as though there may have been some issues behind the scenes but he’s made changes to fix them. One thing is for sure, he isn’t letting anything come between his chances of making it work with Taylor.”
