Matty Healy Has Been Staying Offline and With the Boys After Reported Split With Taylor Swift
The 1975âs Matty Healy assured fans he is ensconced in the good vibes that come from hanging with the boys following reports of the alleged end to his never-confirmed relationship with Taylor Swift.
During the 1975âs concert in Austria on Monday, June 5, Healy appeared to address the rumored split and the deluge of discourse about some of his past behavior that defined the few weeks he and Swift were reportedly linked together. As seen in a clip shared on social media, Healy pointed out a fan holding up a sign that said, âYou Are Loved,â calling the gesture âvery, very kind.â

He continued: âIâm sure that itâs alluding to⊠as youâre aware, Iâm not very online at the moment, and Iâm sure people have just been calling me a c-nt relentlessly. Iâve not been online, but what I have been with is my boys. And, honestly, as much as I appreciate that â itâs so beautiful, and I thank you â but I donât need it, because Iâve got them.â

Healy and Swift reportedly broke off their relationship earlier this week after about a month of ostensibly being together. Though a relationship was never confirmed, Healy was spotted at several stops on Swiftâs Eras Tour, and the pair were photographed together on numerous occasions by both paparazzi and fans.
The closest either came to acknowledging the relationship was when Healy told the crowd at BBC Radio 1âs Big Weekend festival in Dundee, Scotland, at the end of May: âIs it all a bit? Is it sincere? Will he ever address it? All of these questions and more will be ignored in the next hour. Ladies and gentlemen, this is The 1975.â
The rumored relationship also caused significant turmoil and consternation among Swiftâs fans, who were upset with Healyâs track record of uncouth comments and courting controversy. Most pressing was Healyâs appearance on The Adam Friesland Show podcast in February, where he laughed about jokes regarding Ice Spice and joked himself about watching degrading pornography.
Even before Swift and Healy were spotted together, the podcast appearance had stirred up controversy, and Healy kinda sorta apologized for it all during a concert in April. Addressing Ice Spice in particular, Healy said on stage, âIce Spice, Iâm sorry. Itâs not because Iâm annoyed that me joking got misconstrued. Itâs because I donât want Ice Spice to think Iâm a dick. I love you, Ice Spice. Iâm so sorry.â
