Taylor Swift is in her Matt Healy era, allegedly. Shortly after the breakup with longtime beau Joe Alwyn, Swift is already believed to be on to a new man. Rumors have circulated that Swift is cozying up with The 1975 lead singer Matt Healy. At first, the dating allegations were nothing but gossip, but now, there may be evidence to support these claims. If the suspicions are true, the relationship comes very unexpectedly, considering Healy amounted to dating Swift as a "de-masculating thing" per an old interview in 2014

Nine years later, perhaps Healy has seen the error of his words. According to Entertainment Tonight, the two dated briefly in the past and reconnected through Jack Antonoff. As headlines continue to circulate about the alleged Swift and Healy relationship, L'OFFICIEL is breaking down everything we know about pop culture's (potential) newest It couple.

The image that sparked the rumor mill, fans began to speculate on the hinted romance between Healy and Swift after the "Karma" singer posed for a photo with Healy's mother. While it could be nothing more than a sweet photo, many Swifties question if the photo points to Swift getting closer to Healy's family — thus insinuating that the "Wildest Dreams" singer may have a deeper connection with Healy than we all thought. 

A source claims they are "madly in love."

Per The Sun, an anonymous source who claims to be close to Swift assures that Swift and Healy's relationship is genuine — going as far as to say they are in love. "[Swift] and Matty are madly in love. It's super-early days, but it feels right. They first dated, very briefly, almost ten years ago but timings just didn't work out," the source told The Sun. "They are both massively proud and excited about this relationship and, unlike Taylor's last one — which was very much kept out of the spotlight, deliberately — she wants to 'own' this romance, and not hide it away."

Healy didn't kiss fans out of respect for Swift.

The 1975 singer is known for kissing a select fan at his concerts (first asking for their consent). However, in a video captured via TikTok, Healy announced that he would not be kissing any fans when bringing out Swift for a surprise performance during a set in January. "I'm not kissing anybody in front of Taylor Swift, have some respect," Healy said in the video. "In front of the queen, it's not happening."

Healy may have paid a subtle tribute to Swift at his concert.

While performing in Manila, Philippines, fans think Healy gave a subtle shoutout to Swift as he sang "She's American." What really threw fans into a frenzy is when The 1975 lead singer said "She sure is" before singing the first verse. While it may have been subtle, the clue was most definitely acknowledged.

Healy was spotted attending Swift's concert in Nashville.

A supportive boyfriend or loyal friend? That is the question. While Swift was having her concert in Nashville, Healy was spotted having a good time in the VIP tent. As The 1975 vocalist is undergoing his own international tour, it's been noticed that his pitstop to watch Swift is not on the route and could have only been done if he took time out of his schedule to go see her.

Additionally, during the concert fans noticed Swift mouth a cryptic message to the camera. "This is about you, you know who you are. I love you," she spoke silently. As many pondered what she meant, Swifties were quick to realize that Healy said the same thing during his concert in the Philippines.

Their first moment captured together, the singers were spotted in a car following Swift's second sold-out show in Nashville. According to the Daily Mail, Swift and Healy were heading to Swift's condo. The rumored couple was photographed sitting next to each in a black SUV as it drove to Swift's home.
