Taylor Swift finds herself at the center of another dating rumor, this time involving The 1975's lead singer, Matty Healy. How did these relationship claims originate?
Healy is the third man Swift has been linked to following her split from Joe Alwyn. The rumors began with just one photograph.
The Photo that Triggered Taylor Swift and Matty Healy Dating Speculation Page Six reports that dating rumors started when the band's rhythm guitarist's mother, Denise Welch, shared a photo of herself with the pop superstar backstage at her son's group concert.
Welsh, a well-known actress in the UK, appeared delighted as she posed with the "Anti-Hero" singer in an Instagram post in January.
At the time, The 1975 held a concert at The O2 music venue in London, where Swift made an unexpected appearance.
"Oh what a night at a sold-out O2. So proud I can't even begin!!" she captioned the post.
The photo led to theories that Swift and Healy were dating.
Taylor Swift and Matty Healy Reportedly Dating The Sun broke the news that Swift and Healy were dating.
An insider alleged that they had been together for a couple of months and were "madly in love."
"It's super-early days, but it feels right," the source added. "They first dated, very briefly, almost 10 years ago, but the timings just didn't work out."
Nine years ago, the 34-year-old donned a white T-shirt featuring the cover art for the Grammy winner's album 1989 during a performance by The 1975 at The Rave in Milwaukee.
In return, Swift wore a black shirt promoting the band after attending their show in Southern California.
Men Linked to Taylor Swift After Joe Alwyn Split Healy is the third man to be connected to Swift following her breakup with Alwyn.
First, she was linked to her friend and music video co-star Dylan O'Brien after he was spotted leaving her New York apartment one morning.
Next, she was linked to Formula 1 driver Fernando Alonso due to a post by gossip social media page DeuxMoi on Instagram.
Alonso himself fueled the rumors by posting videos that hinted at the claims while playing Swift's songs in the background.
Then, Healy emerged. The two have known each other for nearly a decade and reportedly had a brief fling in 2014.
Unlike with some of Swift's other exes, there appears to be no bad blood between them. Will their romance continue?
