Matty Healy’s comments during The 1975’s headline set at Glastonbury 2025 reignited speculation about his past relationship with Taylor Swift. “I probably am the best. I’m probably the best songwriter of my generation,” Healy said, later adding, “The best, what do we say – a poet – ladies and gentlemen, is what I am,” in footage captured by Variety.

Many fans interpreted Healy’s remarks as a reference to Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department, especially the track The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived, which many believe targets him. Healy wore a Peter Pan pin during the performance, and fans connected it to Swift’s song Peter from The Anthology edition, which they also associate with him.

Rumors of Swift and Healy dating surfaced in 2023 after multiple public sightings. The speculation intensified when Healy appeared on The Adam Friedland Show, where hosts made offensive comments about Ice Spice, sparking backlash. The controversy led to online criticism from Swift fans and calls for her to address Healy’s behavior. Swift did not publicly respond, but shortly after announced a collaboration with Ice Spice for a remix of Karma.

Healy later said during a concert in New Zealand, “I just feel a bit bad, and I’m kind of a bit sorry if I’ve offended you,” specifically addressing Ice Spice: “I love you, Ice Spice. I’m so sorry.” TMZ later reported that Swift and Healy had broken up.

At Glastonbury, Healy echoed Swift’s album title with his tone and use of the word “poet,” which fueled further debate. Swifties pointed out that six tracks on her 2024 album, including Down Bad and I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can), appear to reference Healy and their brief relationship.
