All aspects of her life…not just the tour…? Hey, Taylor, can I ask you a question?
May 23, 2023: Taylor’s been spotted at Electric Lady Studios in NYC a lot, prompting speculation about her next album. Now, there’s a rumor that Healy is involved as more than just a muse. “It’s been decided that he will help her pen songs for her next album, and he might even provide some vocals if it works for the tracks,” a source told UK tabloid The Sun, adding, “Ideally, he would like a proper collab, with the whole band involved. That’s the only way Matty will ever appear on stage with her. He feels he has to earn it.”
A proper collab is for sure a Brit turn of phrase. So, his team’s leaking (probably, maybe). Of course, they want the Swift bump up the charts!
May 24, 2023: They’re spotted making out at Zero Bond in NYC while hanging with the usual clique of Kravitz, Antonoff, and Qualley. This is just hours after Swift announced a remix of “Karma” with Ice Spice and a new song called “You’re Losing Me” that miiiiiiight be about a certain recent breakup?
May 27, 2023: The Sun reports that Matty Healy is moving in with Taylor Swift to work on her next album. “He and Taylor are so loved up and want to spend as much time together as they can,” an “insider” told the publication. “Matty has already told the 1975 team that he’ll be doing all the band demos in America for the foreseeable. He will work on his parts for their collaboration while she is on tour and has scheduled time to attend select shows to gather inspiration for her next album.”
Obviously, this should be taken with a heavy grain of salt considering the source, but The Sun was the first to report the initial Swift-Healy dating rumors, so…do with that information what you will.
Regarding the current state of Swift and Healy’s relationship, The Sun’s source added, “Matty is Joe 2.0—her superstar status doesn’t faze him in the slightest.”
June 5, 2023: Over so soon? TMZ reports on June 5 that Taylor Swift and Matty Healy have called it quits, just a little over a month after it was first reported that the two were dating. Quoting “a friend close to the situation,” the outlet reports that Blondie is once again “single.”
Though their relationship status has yet to be confirmed by either party (and likely won’t be), Healy has already returned to his onstage antics—particularly his tendency to make out with fans while on stage, a shtick he appeared to give up during his rumored romance with Taylor. Over the weekend in Denmark, the singer was photographed kissing a security guard mid-performance. Make of that what you will.
June 5, 2023, later that day: Tree Paine is up and at ’em. “They are both extremely busy and realized they’re not really compatible with each other,” a “source” tells ET, adding, “Taylor’s friends want what’s best for her and aren’t shocked that their relationship fizzled out since she recently got out of a long-term relationship.” Emphasis ours. Meanwhile, Us gets the quote that “They had fun together, but it was never serious.”
