When: May 2023 - June 2023
Shortly after Swift's breakup from Alwyn was made public, rumors began swirling that Swift was seeing Matty Healy, the first reports originating from The Sun on May 4. A day later, The 1975 lead singer was spotted attending Swift's Eras Tour concert in Nashville. While there was some debate among fans about whether or not Healy and Swift were just hanging out as friends or dating, things seemingly moved firmly into romantic territory when the musicians were photographed by a fan holding hands at a restaurant in New York City on May 11.
Swift and Healy are actually longtime friends, with rumors that they dated going all the way back to 2014 when Swift was once spotted wearing a The 1975 t-shirt (they're pictured together here having fun at the 2015 Brits afterparty).
In 2016, Healy squashed dating rumors after he courted controversy for telling Q Magazine that March that he would find being Swift's boyfriend "emasculating." In a May 2016 tweet addressing the controversy (via Yahoo), he wrote, "I didn't even date Taylor, but the media's incessant and brutal obsession with her has meant that even a guy who DIDN'T DATE HER has been so battered by their never-ending questions that he's inevitably said something that can be lifted and moulded into something that resembles 'shade.' It's really sad."
Swift and Healy have yet to address their latest dating rumors publicly, but it seems whatever was on is now off. On June 5, multiple outlets reported that Swift and Healy's romance had fizzled out.
