A Peek into Matty Healy's Love Life: Connections with Taylor Swift, Halsey, and More

Matty Healy from The 1975 has been in relationships with some famous celebrities. He recently got back in touch with Taylor Swift after she broke up with Joe Alwyn in April 2023. This was nine years after they were first rumored to be dating back in 2014.

"Healy and Swift are reconnecting and giving their friendship a second chance," a source exclusively told We in May 2023. The insider mentioned that the songwriters are part of the same friend group and are enjoying their time together. However, a month later, Us confirmed that the two decided to go their separate ways.

Back in 2014, Healy and Swift were rumored to be linked after Swift attended multiple The 1975 concerts. Healy received criticism for his remarks about Swift and their interactions, which some fans found offensive and disrespectful.

"If I had gone out with Taylor Swift, I would've been like, 'Wow, I am not going to be Taylor Swift's boyfriend.' You know, 'Oh my gosh.' That's also a man thing, a de-masculinating, emasculating thing," the "Sex" singer shared with Q magazine in 2016.

Matty Healy's Dating History: Taylor Swift, Halsey and More

The 1975’s Matty Healy has dated several A-listers over the years.

Healy and Taylor Swift reconnected in April 2023, after her split from Joe Alwyn, nine years after they were first linked in 2014.

In May 2023, a source exclusively told We that Healy and Swift were looking to give their relationship a second chance. The insider revealed that the songwriters run in the same circle of friends and are enjoying reconnecting. However, a month later, Us confirmed that the two had decided to go their separate ways.

Healy and Swift were linked in 2014 when Swift attended several The 1975 shows. Healy faced backlash for making comments about Swift and their "flirtation" that fans criticized as misogynistic.

In a 2016 interview with Q magazine, the "Sex" singer stated, "If I had properly gone out with Taylor Swift, I would've been like, 'Oh no, I am not being Taylor Swift's boyfriend.' It's like a man thing, feeling emasculated."

Halsey

Halsey was rumored to be dating the musician in 2015 after attending a 1975 concert. Addressing the rumors, she mentioned in an interview with Billboard in August of that year that they were both drawn to each other's personalities. She observed him closely, while he enjoyed the attention. Halsey also humorously remarked that people associating her with red-wine-drinking, pretty-boy rockers in skinny jeans were mistaken.

Fans have speculated that Halsey references her rumored relationship with Healy in the song "Colors" from her 2015 album Badlands. In the lyrics, she sings, "Your little brother never tells you but he loves you so / You said your mother only smiled on her TV show," which followers believe alludes to Healy's mother, Denise Welch, a host on Britain's Loose Women, and his younger brother, Louis.

Halsey sings about hoping that you make it to 28 years old while your head is clouded with drugs. Healy, who was 26 when the song came out, has been honest about his struggles with heroin addiction.

Taylor Swift

After his initial public interest in Swift in 2014, Healy expressed to Q magazine two years later that he didn't want to be labeled as "Taylor Swift's boyfriend" in the media because he found the concept to be "emasculating." He later explained his comments to Elle.

I briefly experienced a celebrity world that felt overwhelming and intimidating. During that period, I had concerns about being known only as someone's partner rather than for my music or as an individual in my own right.

Despite their previous relationship not leading to anything, Swift and Healy were seen together following Swift's breakup with Alwyn in April 2023.

"They want to try again," a source revealed exclusively to Us in May 2023 about the couple who were "enjoying reconnecting."

The pair was seen holding hands in New York City, and Healy went to several shows on Swift's 2023 Eras Tour. However, they decided to part ways a month later. A source shared with Us, "They had a good time together, but it wasn't a serious relationship."
