Matty Healy and Taylor Swift: A History

Would you believe that this isn’t quite news? Matty Healy and Taylor Swift were linked together way back in 2014. So, if we join the points together, the two musicians had known each other for almost 10 years.

  • However, in a radio guest appearance in Shazam! in January 2015, Matty denied the linking rumors. He also revealed that they got a chance to chat and exchange numbers. “It is bloody fake. It’s all fake. It’s all a farce,” Healy said in the interview.

  • If fans can remember, Matty was seen wearing a white shirt with the album cover of Taylor’s 1989 during The 1975’s live show in 2014. Days later, Swift watched the rock band’s show in Los Angeles with her friends including Selena Gomez. Not just that – Taylor was seen wearing a tank top with The 1975’s name on it.

The 1975 began their “At Their Very Best” world tour last November 2022. However, what surprised the audience was the January 2023 appearance of Taylor Swift in the band’s concert. It happened at The O2 Arena in London.
