Swifties everywhere can exhale: Taylor Swift and Matty Healy have broken up, according to TMZ.
The musicians reportedly began dating sometime in the last month or so. Though neither Swift nor Healy publicly acknowledged the relationship, they were spotted together on several occasions. Most notably, Healy was in attendance for Swift’s “The Eras Tour” shows in Nashville.
Their relationship caused consternation for some of Swift’s fans, as Healy has courted controversy for comments deemed misogynistic, racist, and offensive. Earlier this year, The 1975 frontman came under fire for appearing on a podcast, where he seemingly took racist jabs at the rapper Ice Spice and mocked her accent. In a recently published interview with The New Yorker, Healy dismissed the criticism he received, saying that people were “a bit mental for being hurt.”
Swift later collaborated with Ice Spice on a remix of “Karma,” and brought her out to perform during “The Eras Tour” shows in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
