Matt Healy’s Connection To Taylor Swift
The 1975 frontline is the pop star’s new man, and despite their refusal to reveal their status, it is possibly true. A news outlet revealed that Matt Healy and Taylor Swift were over the moon and ready to share the bombshell news of their intimacy during a Nashville tour.
These two first met about a decade ago. At the time, rumors had it that they were an item. But it did not last long. The British singer then addressed the gossip, claiming they were not lovers. He admitted to exchanging numbers with Swift, who appeared at his band’s show.
Last year, Taylor Swift and Matt Healy’s band teamed up to work on her Midnight album. Unfortunately, their songs did not make the cut. The next time the Briton was sighted near Swift again was this year, after her split from Alwyn. Sources added that they were excited about their romance, emphasizing that it was not a rebound despite being fast-paced.
Feud Between Ice Spice and Taylor Swift’s Matt Healy
There was some jibe from Healy’s end. About three months ago, during an appearance on The Adam Friedland Show podcast, Ice Spice seemed like the spicy discussion in the studio. Matt Healy, who was a guest, mentioned that he messaged the rapper on Instagram. This was after she aired her admiration for his band.
However, the podcast hosts saw this as an avenue to poke fun at the rapper for her accent. They dubbed her “Inuit Spice Girl” and Chubby Chinese lady. Though Healy did not add to the insults, he found the jokes funny.
A few weeks later, while touring with the 1975 band, Healy referenced the rapper again. This time, he apologized but mentioned that his joke was misconstrued.
Possible Ice Spice and Taylor Swift Karma Remix
The controversy between Ice Spice and Taylor Swift’s beau had merely been swept under the carpet before the Karma feature was revealed— but that’s not the crux. Many fans are delighted to have these two superstars from different genres making music together.

Not to forget, she mentioned her admiration for Ice Spice, calling her “The One to Watch. Next to the news was an image of the women on a grand platform commanding on different planets.
Apart from the excitement this news has generated, a few fans with sleuthing eyes have jumped on the back story. A Twitter user spotlighted Healy’s controversy with the rapper, adding that Swift’s PR team ” works harder than the devil.” Another person wrote:
“Celebrities don’t say sorry they just collab.”
Is Taylor Swift Happy With Matt Healy?
The Chocolate singer has been very supportive of his alleged new beau. Right after their romance was revealed, Matt Healy attended Taylor Swift’s Eras tour in Nashville and Philadelphia. Not long after, he was spotted nestling next to Scott Swift, the singer’s dad who he performed with. Fans had barely digested the bromance between the father and beau before Healy was reported to have visited Swift in her home in New York City.
Though the 1975 frontliner was absent from her latest performance in Massachusetts, Swift was in high spirits while on stage. She even teased fans about how well her life is going. In her words:
“I kind of feel like telling you … I’ve just never been this happy in my life, in all aspects of my life, ever before. And I just want to thank you for being a part of that. It’s not just the tour. I just sort of feel like my life finally feels like it makes sense.”
As for what’s to come, fans can expect the Taylor Swift and Ice Spice feature on the Karma remix to be a bomb. And it just makes perfect sense that it is happening at a time like this!
