Is Taylor Swift Dating Matty Healy From The 1975?
Taylor Swift is in her single era — or is she? ICYMI, the musician recently split with her longtime partner, Joe Alwyn, which means the rumor mill has kicked into overdrive trying to figure out who, if anyone, she's seeing now. Could that person be Matty Healy, frontman of The 1975? Here's what we know.
Before we continue, we want to provide a gentle reminder that dating rumors should always be taken with a massive grain of salt, especially when they're attributed to anonymous sources and not the celebrities or their reps. Until we hear it from Swift or Healy themselves, this is all just speculation. But boy, is there speculation.
The most recent rumors came via The Sun, a British publication that claims Swift and Healy are planning to "go public" with their relationship during her tour stop in Nashville. A source told the publication that the two are "madly in love" (again, grain of salt!).
“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. Taylor and Joe actually split up back in February, so there was absolutely no crossover," a source shared. Celebrity gossip Instagram page DeuxMoi also picked up the scent, sharing that Swift's pal Jack Antonoff, who works with both singers, was potentially involved in setting the two up, despite the fact that they've known each other for years.
Now, there could be a small hint of truth in some of these rumors, given that Taylor Swift and Matty Healy have been friends for a longgggg time, and they've been sparking dating rumors practically ever since they met. In 2014, Swift was spotted at a 1975 show and, later, in a T-shirt from the show. She allegedly gave Healy her number, and the frontman called her "a sensation." However, Healy later disputed any potential romance.
