If you want to learn more about the lore of Taylor Swift and Matty Healy you have come to the right place I know everything that went down basically
If you don't then you can go back... The decision is yours to make and yours alone
If you don't then you can go back... The decision is yours to make and yours alone
OK! So this was peak like Matty and Taylor iconic era when they were both really really big and would've met and stuff and OMG just AAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!! So yeah like they would've met and mingled and stuff and there was a bit of media attention like that Matty liked Taylor but I don't think Taylor really talked about it at all in public. It's more just that the 1975 were just blowing up because of their debut album but at this point Taylor would've been like media trained and she clearly didn't want to talk about her personal life whereas Matty is more just like talk about whatever you're thinking and whatever happens happens so there was something but not a lot of like widespread talk about them but you just know they really liked each other AS WE WOULD FIND OUT LATER... But for now these are the scraps we get but don't get me wrong they are juicy.
Ok so people really thought that Style was about Harry Styles which is like ok??? I get the reasoning behind it but COME ON like they didn't really seem like they had that much chemistry anyway like they were both really big at the time so it makes sense that everyone wanted them to be together and stuff but the way she talks about the song in this interview is like soooooo NOT about Harry Styles like the way they interact nowadays is just like so chill like yeah they went out for a minute but I think it was more of like a better off as friends kind of thing maybe so I don't think that Style is actually about THE Harry Styles because he's not like crashing her wedding.
In this video we see Matty singing fallingforyou and he's CLEARLY looking up at the balcony at someone and then the camera pans and who's stood right there? None other than Miss Taylor Alison Swift!!!!!! Yes
Not Charli xcx making an appearance in this one as well! Foreshadowing....... Anyway yeah like hello this one doesn't need an explanation like just listen to what he's saying lolllll
Like be so serious they were so iconic in 2014 if I was Taylor I would also be obsessed for the rest of my life and there's not really anything anyone can do about that
Not too too much to say at this point like this is after the BIG BANG you know like 2014 was the year of impact and then I think it was more of a mental thing between them so not too many sightings not too many headlines to speak of.
Also just while we're on bleachella this was kind of an iconic Taylor era but I feel like sometimes forgotten because it's kind of the outlier of all of her looks.
Ok so womp womp they're both in relationships in 2018. Taylor Swift met Joe Alwyn in her cancelled era and they started going out and there was a bit of an overlap situation with Tom Hiddleston as well and met gala drama! Matty Healy is going out with Gabriella Brooks and take note of this because she comes up for like one second later. Matty is just out of rehab for this album and in a lot of interviews he talks about this which is really cool and vulnerable. Taylor Swift is not having a good time in the public eye rn and is basically cancelled because of her Kanye West/Kim Kardashian feud which is pretty sad but we just know that Matty was rooting for her the whole time am I right or am I right?
Also just need to mention aren't Taylor's earrings giving the box here? Yeah they are. This whole outfit is giving foreshadowing...
Alight so clearly the key points from this video are the typewriter which WE WILL GET INTO IN A FEW YEARS and writing about falling in love with other popstars... Ok so obviously even while he's in a happy relationship Taylor's off doing her own thing dating other people STILL he is still impacted by her after all those years it's still a fantasy in the back of his mind that they will fall in love and it's not like he's going crazy about it it's just still there...
This music video is important for later so just keep it in mind...
So lockdown but also crazy time for secretly being in love with each other because this was such a reflective era for everyone and even though from the outside everything with Taylor and Joe seemed all honky dory the SONGS she was putting out were kind of crazy for being in a happy relationship like yeah Reputation and Lover I get it she was in love she was happy but folklore evermore like there was some Mattyness going on in there for sure you can't deny it. And also at this point Matty had been going out with FKA Twigs and she does appear on Notes on a Conditional Form so there's that but when lockdown actually happened they didn't stay together which is pretty sad tbh because they seemed like a really cool good couple so RIP them I guess.
Yeah so Matty tweeted this in 2019 before folklore evermore so let's just say... Inspo for Taylor maybe? Like yeah she clearly cares about his opinion like they are each other's muses!
Be a cowboy you say...
Oh yeah and TAYLOR was there as well eeeeeek!
YOU ARE A COWBOY LIKE ME. Sorry what was that Taylor? SORRY???? And it's also just like a beautiful song about tiptoeing and not knowing if the love is unrequited or real like omg. I just think it's so crazy like that is their life like they lived this crazy crazy existence AND they're songwriters so it will forever be immortalised for everyone else to relate to and obsess over forever. Crazy.
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGGOMG GET READY FOR THE PACE TO PICK BACK UP!! 8 years on from 2014 and Matty and Taylor are back in the game!!!! Both are producing their albums with Jack Antonoff who is like besties with Taylor but this means that they're probs in the studio together. They definitely recorded some stuff together which didn't make the cut but Matty is talking about Taylor again posts about her on his Instagram story their WILDEST DREAMS are finally coming true and they're only getting closer this time around I know it
Matty Healy posts this on his Instagram story LOL!
DO YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING?!??!?!?! The girl in the video is like 100% Taylor Swift come on like when you look at this next to the Delicate music video you just can't argue it!! Also like I wanna get it right this time?? Hellooooooo! And the whole concept of the music video is like thinking back to his younger years with a girl and dancing and trying to relive those moments and like hello like let's think back to 2014 they were both young and iconic and liked each other but after all those years they're linking back up and like omg can't even!!!!
Ok and now I want you to remember this video for later...
SOOOOOO many songs on Midnights are about Matty Healy like what springs to mind issss Question...? and Labyrinth and Paris obvi because of the song Paris by the 1975!! Tell me I'm wrong.
ALRIGHT SUE ME!! I'm gonna be completely honest and say that this was not 2022 it was actually 2023 but it was literally January so not really and also this is obviously fits this era more. This is like before? they went out or before everyone clocked they were going out so that's why I'm putting this video here. OK so this is like the MOST public like obvious thing that happened between them I'm not gonna lie. This was before the Eras tour started so she hadn't performed any Midnights live yet. And then she also does THE CITY which is actually crazy behaviour. Yeah this is just so crazy it's hard to believe it even happened. I SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE.
ACTIVE ERA!!!!!!!! OFFICIAL ERA!!!!!!!!!!!! Honestly like wasn't this such a crazy time? Short lived defo but wow! OMG! Omg don't worry I'll tell you everything. Tbh there is so so so much to say about 2023 like...... Wow it's just crazy isn't it?!?!!? To be honest I don't know the exact timeline of this year but I do know that there was SO SO SO MUCH that happened like not only were they officially a COUPLE but they were both on tour as well so like there's just so so so so so much to say!!! Ok don't have a go at me if the order is wrong though ok.
^^^^ Just pics of Matty at the ERAS TOUR because he was such a supportive boyf we love to see it.
OK so this is mega crazy era because when Taylor announced THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT we all knew she had broken up with Joe Alwyn which was like a 7 year relationship so we all thought that it would be about him, especially since in an interview Joe said he had a group chat called the Tortured Man's club which is super cringe. But then, the NIGHT BEFORE the release some lyrics LEAKED. And everyone was like omg it's actually ALL ABOUT MATTY!!!!!! Because of some lyrics about like tattooed golden retriever was a main one because Joe's not tatted.
So if you remember the About You music video then you will appreciate how INSANE THIS IS like so many people have made side by sides it's so crazy. Like she went there she really referenced him that hard. BECAUSE SHE WOULD like imagine Matty Healy writes About You about you and then goes out with you for like literally 2 weeks and then ghost you????!?!?! Hello like yeah honestly.
I'M NOT KIDDING THIS IS LITERALLY THE CRAZIEST THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED IN THE HISTORY OF FOREVER!! Caroline Polachek can't open for this show for the 1975 for whatever reason so Matty steps up to the plate and opens for his own band. But I'M SORRY it's also the craziest performance EVER because this is post-breakup but pre-TTPD soooo like. Also yeah it was 2023 I'M SORRY!! I'm actually sorry but do you care more about the actual years everything happened or the chapters of their story. That's also just reminded me of more lore... But yeah this was so crazy I always listen to this because it's just insane. Like I Just Don't Think I'll Ever Get Over You is INSANE. The Sorry? is INSANE. Like........ If I was Taylor and I saw this I would not be able to just go about my life no wonder The Tortured Poets Department is as unhinged as it is like she really could've gone so much crazier.
Genuinely though what a gutwrenching setlist are YOU KIDDING?! Yeah like yeah. Insanity.
