Taylor Swift’s ex, Matty Healy, the frontman of The 1975, has been involved in a heated back-and-forth with rapper Azealia Banks, which has raised concern from those close to Swift. The altercation began when Banks tweeted a comment about Charli XCX, which led Healy to call her out. The situation escalated when Healy tweeted a now-deleted post, threatening physical violence toward Banks, which many found disturbing. His response has caused outrage, and insiders claim that Swift, who is no longer in contact with Healy, is worried about him. Travis Kelce’s niece also looked like Taylor Swift in a recent photo.
Swift, who briefly dated Healy in 2023 after her split from Joe Alwyn, had known him for years prior to their brief romance. Sources close to her revealed that she is “disappointed” by Healy’s recent behavior, and the incident has reaffirmed her decision to move on from him. One source stated that Swift is concerned about Healy’s well-being, expressing hope that he gets the help he needs.
Another source explained that Swift was “shocked” by his violent remarks and that she has distanced herself from him since their brief fling ended in June 2023. While Swift is now in a relationship with NFL star Travis Kelce, Healy is engaged to Gabbriette Bechtel, whom he began dating in September 2023.
The situation has cast a shadow over Healy’s behavior, and many believe that it highlights deeper personal struggles he may be facing.
