Less than a month after her breakup with longtime boyfriend Joe Alwyn became public, Taylor Swift is rumored to be dating The 1975 frontman Matty Healy. Although neither Swift nor Healy has confirmed or addressed the speculation, fans have taken to Twitter to share their thoughts on the potential romance.
One user tweeted, "Us trying to figure out how we're going to address a national crisis (Taylor and Matty)," accompanied by a photo of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. Another joked, "Do Taylor Swift and Matty Healy know they're dating?"
"If true, we'll soon hear some of the greatest love hooks of our time," predicted a third user. One fan chimed in, "Taylor and Matty dating is something I'd never believe, but imagine the songs they could write about each other after their breakup."
Some Twitter users expressed mixed feelings, with one writing, "I do think Matty is the finest man on planet Earth, and I simultaneously believe that Taylor is way too good for him." Another added, "Taylor Swift dating Matty Healy to me is like what if your mom started dating the boy who sold you weed in high school that you swore you could change."
The Sun reported on Thursday that Swift and Healy have been seeing each other and plan to make their relationship public in Nashville, Tennessee, where she is scheduled to perform this weekend. However, International Business Times could not independently confirm this information.
An unnamed source told The Sun, "[Swift] and Matty are madly in love. It's super-early days, but it feels right." The source also claimed that Healy plans to fly to Nashville over the weekend to support Swift on the next leg of her tour.
Swift recently launched her "Eras Tour" in the US, while Healy and his bandmates are on their "At Their Very Best" world tour. The two artists have been friends for some time, and in January, Swift surprised fans by performing at The 1975's concert at the O2 Arena in London.
Swift's breakup with Alwyn after six years of dating was reportedly due to differences in their personalities. Since then, she has been linked to various celebrities, including Dylan O'Brien, Fernando Alonso, and Bradley Cooper, according to Billboard.
Healy, on the other hand, has been in relationships with several celebrities and musicians over the years, such as FKA Twigs, Gabriella Brooks, and Halsey.
