Taylor Swift's Ex Seemingly Shades Pop Star During Glastonbury Set originally appeared on Parade.

Matty Healy seemingly threw shade at ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift during his set at Glastonbury Music Festival.

The 1975 frontman addressed the crowd at the famous British music festival on Friday, June 27, saying, "What this moment is making me realize is that I probably am the best," according to a videoposted on Variety’s X account.

"I'm probably the best songwriter of my generation," he continued while raising a glass of beer. "The best, what do we say — A POET — ladies and gentlemen, is what I am."

Healy may have been referencing Swift’smost recent album, The Tortured Poets Department, which is believed to contain several songs that reference he and Swift's brief, yet controversial, romance from May to June 2023.

When Swift released TTPD in April 2024, it wasrumored that she wrote the album’s title track, as well as Guilty As Sin, Down Bad, Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus, The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived, But Daddy I Love Him, and I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can) about Healy.

During their short-lived relationship, the couple were frequently spotted together at Swift's Eras Tour concerts and at various locations in New York City, including the famous Electric Lady Recording Studio.

Prior to their split, Swifties launched an online campaign urging the pop star to dump Healy due to his problematic behavior, alleging racism and misogyny.

When the two eventually split, an insider told Entertainment Tonight that it was due to incompatibility and scheduling issues. Another source told Us Weekly that Healy was "blindsided" by the release of TTPD.

Swifthas since moved on with Travis Kelce, who she made her red carpet debut with this week. Healy got engaged to model Gabbriette Bechtelin June 2024.
