Taylor Swift and Matty Healy have called it quits on their brief romance. A source shared with ET that their busy schedules and lack of compatibility led to the decision. The breakup was first reported by TMZ. This comes after Swift ended her six-year relationship with Joe Alwyn in April, just a month before her connection with Healy sparked rumors.
The duo’s romance began when Healy was seen at Swift’s concert in Nashville during her Eras Tour in May. They were later photographed together, and sources revealed that Taylor had a crush on Matty and that they were enjoying each other’s company. It was also mentioned that they had briefly dated in the past and were reconnected by Jack Antonoff.
Swift and Healy’s relationship progressed as they were spotted holding hands on a dinner date with Antonoff and his fiancée. However, their whirlwind romance faced controversy due to Healy’s past behavior and problematic pranks. Healy faced backlash earlier in the year for laughing along with derogatory jokes on a podcast. He later dismissed the criticism as virtue signaling.
During The 1975’s performance at BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend festival, Healy addressed the speculation surrounding him, sarcastically remarking that he would ignore the questions and continue with the show. While Swift never publicly addressed the rumors, she and Healy appeared inseparable when she wasn’t performing.
Recently, rumors of a breakup circulated when Healy resumed his habit of kissing random people in the crowd during concerts. At the NorthSide Festival in Denmark, he kissed a male security guard while on stage. Despite the breakup, Swift and Healy’s time together was filled with memorable moments.
