Matty Healy Appears to Make Some Sort of Apology Onstage Following Taylor Swift Breakup
On Wednesday night, The 1975’s Matty Healy dipped his toe into some performance art while onstage, and some fans are wondering if his new act might be a reference to his recent split from Taylor Swift. Matty’s band had a tour stop in Dublin, Ireland, and the musician did a solo set before the full show started.
Then he took a can of black spray paint and wrote the question, “Sorry?” on the backdrop. The act was accompanied by a cover of Leon Russell’s “A Song for You,” performed by bandmate Jamie Squire.
What could it all mean?
Matty and Taylor reportedly split earlier this week after seeming to have a hot-and-heavy relationship throughout May that could have started weeks earlier. The pair dated briefly in 2014 as well, but since then, Taylor entered into a long-term relationship with actor Joe Alwyn. After six years together, they split in early 2023, and Taylor appeared to be on the rebound with the British front man.
Neither Matty nor Taylor has officially commented on their breakup or their romance in general. The Midnights singer did release a new song in May that many believe to be about Joe, titled “You’re Losing Me.”
A source talking to The Mirror claimed that Joe was “disappointed and embarrassed” by the new track, which paints a vivid picture of two people drifting apart in a romantic relationship. It particularly focuses on the question of marriage, something many wondered about after the coupled passed the five-year mark without becoming engaged. The song implies she was never asked.
The insider added that Joe was “under the impression she’d spare him the Harry Styles treatment.”
They continued, “He’s respectfully asking her to let him move on—and shut up!”
Allegedly, Joe also found it “rude” that Taylor displayed her “tacky new romance” with Matty so soon after their breakup.
