Just about a month after the news broke that Taylor Swift broke-up with her boyfriend of six years, Joe Alwyn, the Grammy Award-winner seems to be moving on.
According to The Sun, the Midnights artist is “madly in love” with the lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist of the English pop rock band, The 1975, Matty Healy. The pair have maintained a close friendship since 2014 and are now reportedly set to go public with their romance during her concert in Nashville, Tennessee on Friday.
An inside source told the publication, “It’s super-early days, but it feels right. They first dated, very briefly, almost 10 years ago but timings just didn’t work out.”
Back in 2015, Healy denied romance rumors with Swift but confirmed they would text each other frequently. “Yeah, we met each other, we exchanged numbers in the same way that a lot of people in this kind of world do and we spoke occasionally,” he said on Australian radio.
In January, Swift made a surprise appearance at a The 1975 concert in London and posed with Healy’s famous mother, English actress Denise Welch backstage. Currently, Swift is in the middle of the US leg of her The Eras Tour while The 1975 are on the At Their Very Best tour.
“As two international megastars, they understand the pressures of one another’s jobs better than anyone,” said the insider. “[They] are incredibly supportive of their respective careers.”
Throughout the years, the pair have cheered each other on. Swift was seen wearing a band tee from The 1975 and Healy sported a 1989 T-shirt once on stage before.
In April, Entertainment Tonight reported Swift and Alwyn called it quits in March, in what was allegedly an amicable split. According to a source, the relationship “had just run its course,” and was “not dramatic.”
Swift, 33, and Alwyn, 32, began dating in 2016, and though they’ve managed to keep much of their relationship private, it’s been thought that the two were still going strong until fans began to worry Alwyn hadn’t been there to support Swift on her world tour.
Looking for clues, fans believed Swift dropped a hint about the breakup at her March 31 concert. Swift performed in Arlington, Texas and replaced the romantic song “Invisible String” with the breakup song, “The 1.” It includes the lyrics, “But we were something don’t you think so?” and “If my wishes came true, it would have been you.”
