Taylor Swift’s relationship with Matty Healy was a 10-year on-and-off situationship — nothing official until May 2023, when The Sun confirmed they were in a formal relationship. It only lasted less than a few months, but despite its brevity, it had a strong emotional impact on Taylor.

Taylor Swift and Matty Healy had a brief romance in May and June of 2023. The pair first met in 2014 and were good friends for many years, but it appears their relationship didn’t become romantic until after Swift’s breakup with actor Joe Alwyn in early 2023. The exact timing isn’t clear, but Swift and Healy’s relationship became public when The Sun broke the story on May 3, 2023. The couple were then spotted on several romantic outings in the following weeks, with Healy even appearing on stage at the Eras Tour during opener Phoebe Bridgers’ set. However, by June 5, 2023, sources revealed that the relationship had ended and that Swift was single.
Swift hasn’t publicly commented on the reasons behind the breakup, but fans have speculated that several songs on her album The Tortured Poets Department were inspired by the romance (and its sudden ending). Specifically, fans point to “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived,” “loml,” “Fortnight,” “The Tortured Poets Department,” “Guilty As Sin,” “But Daddy I Love Him,” “Fresh Out the Slammer,” and “I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can)” as songs that are likely about Healy.
