The pair was first linked in 2014 when she wore a T-shirt with his band\u2019s name. \u201cWe exchanged numbers. Let\u2019s see what happens,\u201d Matty told Australia\u2019s \u201cShazam Top 20\u2033 that year.<\/p>\n
In a 2016 interview with Q<\/em> magazine, the \u201cSomebody Else\u201d singer discussed how strange it was to get attention from being linked to Taylor.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t do anything else, right, so it doesn\u2019t leave a lot of room for me going out or shagging someone. So, the one time I did have a flirtation with a girl it ends up going everywhere,\u201d he explained, referring to Taylor. \u201cI mean, I got on E! News and people were like, \u2018Who\u2019s Matt Healy?\u2019 So that was cool.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cBut I didn\u2019t make a big deal out of it myself,\u201d Matty continued. \u201cIt\u2019s not really anything to talk about, because if she wasn\u2019t Taylor Swift we wouldn\u2019t be talking about her. She wasn\u2019t a big impact on my life. It\u2019s just interesting to me how interested the world is about Taylor Swift.\u201d<\/p>\n Matty seemed to deny being in a relationship with the \u201cAnti-Hero\u201d singer, adding, \u201cIf I had gone out with Taylor Swift I would\u2019ve been, \u2018F\u2013king hell! I am NOT being Taylor Swift\u2019s boyfriend.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n The two were linked again in 2023 following Taylor\u2019s split<\/a> from boyfriend of six years, Joe Alwyn<\/strong>. They were spotted holding hands in New York City in May 2023 and he attended several of Taylor\u2019s Eras tour concerts. However, a month later their flirtation was over. \u201cThey had fun together, but it was never serious,\u201d a source told Us Weekly<\/em><\/a> at the time. \u200bThe \u201cWillow\u201d songstress began dating boyfriend Travis Kelce<\/strong> by August 2023.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
