Matty Healy gushes about Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift and Matty Healy first met in 2014, and it seems the 1975 frontman was impressed with Swift from an early age. Matty Healy had suppressed romance rumors between him and the singer nine years ago in an interview with Elle. He shared how he was constantly asked about Taylor after their first interaction.

Matty said, “Now if you want to talk about Taylor Swift, it’s easy…. Ever since she came on my show in December 2014, I’d say 90 perfect journalists who interviewed me have been asking about her as a person or to what our ‘interaction’ was like.

Healy gushed about the pop star as he praised her, saying, “I have said countless times that I thought she was one of the most gracious, hard-working, creatively gifted and beautiful women I have had the pleasure of meeting. Personally, I have a lot of respect and admiration for her. Why wouldn’t I?”

Did Matty Healy and Taylor date in 2014?

Taylor and Matty were linked in December 2014 when she attended his concert wearing his band’s t-shirt. At the time, when asked about Taylor Swift, Healy told a radio show host, “We exchanged numbers. Let’s see what happens.” Rumors of a possible romance soon began to circulate.

Later Matty Healy came forward to clarify the same. In an interview with GQ, the ‘The 1975’ frontman said, “It’s just interesting to me how interested the world is in Taylor Swift. The reason I mention that is because if I had [properly] dated Taylor Swift, I would have been, “F***ing hell, I’m not Taylor Swift’s boyfriend.” You know, ‘F**k. That.’ That’s also a man thing, a de-masculizing, emasculation thing.” Matty was later forced to clarify what he meant after people claimed he was misogynistic. He later clarified that he was “immersed in a celebrity world” that was “confusing and scary” for him.

Rumors about the two circulated after a source claimed that Taylor and Matty are “madly in love”. The Sun has reported that they plan to announce their relationship on Friday at Taylor’s concert in Nashville, Tennessee.
