Taylor Swift's Rumored New Flame Matty Healy Has Some Famous Exes In His Past

Matty Healy, who is rumored to be dating Taylor Swift, has previously been linked to other fellow celebs. In May 2023, The Sun wrote that the lead singer of The 1975 and Swift began a relationship following Swift's breakup with Joe Alwyn. A source opened up about the romance and stated that the pair dated for a short time around a decade ago prior to this reunion. "She and Matty are madly in love. It's super-early days, but it feels right," the source said. They added, "Both Matty and Taylor have been touring over the past few weeks, so it's been a lot of FaceTiming and texting, but she cannot wait to see him again."

Back in 2015, Healy discussed rumors that he and Swift were an item in a 2DayFM interview, as E! News shared. "We met each other, we exchanged numbers in the same way that a lot of people in this kind of world do, and we spoke occasionally," Healy said. He added, "There's no relationship or anything happening." The following year, Healy praised Swift on Twitter, per Elle, writing, "I found her to be one of the most gracious, hard working, creatively gifted, and beautiful women that I have had the pleasure to meet." Healy's former flames are also well-known names in the entertainment industry.

Leading up to his rumored union with Taylor Swift, Matty Healy of The 1975 has previously dated other public figures. As reported by Capital FM, Healy has been in relationships with famous faces such as FKA Twigs and model Gabriella Brooks. In addition, Healy reportedly dated Halsey and Ali Lohan. In a past chat with All Things Go, Halsey discussed her earliest encounter with Healy and his impact on her music. "When I first started writing I was a huge fan of this band called The 1975. I went to see them in concert, bought tickets, met Matty, and in a weird way he's been influential to me just because of his lack of care," Halsey said (via PopSugar).

FKA Twigs was one of Healy's most recent partners, as the two were together from 2020 to 2022. When the pair's split became public in June 2022, a source opened up to The Sun about the breakup, saying, "Sadly things haven't worked out. Those around them thought this was going to be it, but it hasn't been the case." FKA Twigs has since started seeing photographer and cinematographer Jordan Hemingway, the Daily Mail wrote in March 2023. As Healy is now rumored to have moved on with Swift, the two talented musicians have also worked together musically. 

Aside from reportedly starting a relationship, Taylor Swift and Matty Healy have collaborated professionally. In November 2022, Healy detailed that The 1975 contributed to Swift's 2022 album, "Midnights," but their creations didn't end up on the final album release. "We actually worked a bit on that, but then the version of it never came out," Healy said on "Klein/Ally Show" of KROQ. He went on to clarify that this outcome was not a negative experience before praising Swift. "It was for reasons that are not to be criticized. She's amazing," Healy added.

Additionally, in January 2023, Rolling Stone noted that Swift had sung "Anti-Hero" at a concert of The 1975's, which marked her first-ever performance of the hit track for a live audience. Healy's mother, Denise Welch, then posted a series of images on Instagram of herself posing with people backstage at the concert, which was at the O2 Arena in London. One photo showed Welch and Swift smiling for the camera. "Oh what a night at a sold out 02. So proud I can't even begin!!" Welch said. Though Swift and Healy haven't confirmed their romantic relationship, in The Sun's report, a source stated that Healy may be visiting Swift soon. "She's told pals Matty is flying to Nashville over the weekend to support her on the next leg of her tour," the source said.
