Matty Healy Sparks Feud Rumors with Taylor Swift at Glastonbury 2025

In a dramatic turn of events at the Glastonbury Music Festival on June 27, 2025, Matty Healy, the frontman of the British band The 1975, appeared to throw shade at his ex-girlfriend, global pop sensation Taylor Swift. This exchange has sparked a frenzy among fans and has once again highlighted the tumultuous and highly publicized relationship between the two.

During his performance at Glastonbury, Healy paused mid-set and made a bold declaration that left the audience and fans worldwide talking. Raising a glass of beer, Healy stated, "What this moment is making me realize is that I probably am the best songwriter of my generation… A poet, ladies and gentlemen, is what I am."[2][3][4]

This statement is widely interpreted as a response to Taylor Swift's recent album, "The Tortured Poets Department," released in April 2024. The album is believed to contain several tracks that reference their brief but contentious romance in May and June 2023. Songs like "Guilty As Sin," "Down Bad," and "I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can)" are rumored to be about Healy, with lyrics that many see as sharp jabs at their relationship[1][2][3].

The relationship between Swift and Healy was marked by controversy even before their split. Swifties, Taylor Swift's dedicated fan base, had launched an online campaign urging Swift to end the relationship due to allegations of Healy's problematic behavior, including racism and misogyny[1].

Since their breakup, both artists have moved on. Taylor Swift has been dating NFL star Travis Kelce, with the two making their red carpet debut recently and sparking wedding rumors. Meanwhile, Matty Healy got engaged to model Gabbriette Bechtel in June 2024, with Bechtel attending his Glastonbury performance alongside his mother, actress Denise Welch[2][3].

Healy's comments at Glastonbury have reignited the public's interest in the complicated history between these two musical figures. While Healy later clarified that he was "only joking about being a poet," the timing and context of his remarks suggest a deeper underlying message, one that fans are eagerly dissecting[3].

This public exchange underscores the ongoing narrative of celebrity relationships and the creative expressions that often follow their highs and lows. As both Taylor Swift and Matty Healy continue to navigate their careers and personal lives under the scrutiny of the public eye, their fans remain keenly attuned to every word and gesture that might hint at what really went on behind the scenes.
