In a startlingly quick turn of events, Matty Healy, the rock-star frontman of the 1975, is poised to take his relationship with Taylor Swift to the next level, alluding to marriage proposals amidst their passionate romance.
Swift, who performed a marathon three-and-a-half-hour concert in torrential rain on May 20 in Foxborough, Massachusetts, hinted at her happiness to the 65,000 strong audience. "I’ve just never been this happy in my life in all aspects of my life ever before,” Swift confessed before performing her song “Question…?” - a track about a "good girl" smitten with a "sad boy". "It’s not just the tour, like, I don’t know, my life finally feels like it makes sense,” she said, leading some to suggest this was a subtle critique of her ex, Joe Alwyn.
While some fans speculate that the beginnings of her relationship with Healy are a rebound, insiders close to Swift counter this narrative. "Sure, it’s only been two months, but they’re madly in love,” an anonymous source disclosed. “Friends say he’s already planning to ask her to marry him!”
The source further shed light on the depth of the couple's bond, citing their decade-long acquaintance which dates back to an initial fling in 2013 and the rekindling of their romance this past April. They added, "She didn’t necessarily expect it to get serious this quickly, but it feels right and she’s convinced this love will last forever.”
The insider further suggested that Swift's previous relationship with Alwyn wasn't the ideal picture it was painted to be. "The romance completely vanished. Joe became selfish and put his own needs before hers. He was also intimidated by her fame,” they revealed.
In comparison, Healy's consistent presence and support for Swift, especially during her high-demand Eras tour, highlights his deep understanding of the demands of the music industry. "Matty has been at nearly every stop cheering her on,” the source explained, contrasting his commitment to Alwyn's sporadic presence during Swift's previous tour.
Healy's eagerness to take the next step with Swift is well aligned with the singer's dreams of a grand romantic gesture, and the duo have reportedly begun house hunting in Los Angeles. The source commented on their preferred choice, a secluded $48 million estate not far from Swift's current Beverly Hills mansion. “The world is her oyster right now,” they said of Swift's success.
Despite the positivity, concerns have surfaced regarding Healy's controversial reputation. A fan open letter published on May 17 addressed to Swift aired grievances about Healy's past conduct, including racist and homophobic comments made on a podcast in February. However, the source emphasized Swift's faith in Healy's character, "Taylor knows his heart. She wouldn’t be with someone who didn’t share her values.”
As the curtains fell on her Foxborough show, Swift made it known that Healy was here to stay. According to the source, "Matty is her soulmate, and she plans to spend the rest of her life with him.”
