Fan girls like you are why Q took hold of so many nutters in this country. And Taylor is just laughing on the way to the bank. I love that for her. |
Agreed. She idolized him from afar. |
It was a classic rebound romance. As often happens, it was with someone she's been friends with for a long time, which is why her heartbreak was doubly painful. She has a hard time trusting people because she's been betrayed before.
It seems that Matty is someone who she did trust and so when he made all these promises and talked about marriage and babies, she believed him. She hadn't felt that spark for a long time - her relationship with Joe had become stale and she felt like she was the one doing all the work. Matty love bombed her, she fell HARD, and then he ghosted her and pulled the rug out from under her feet. She lost not only a lover, but a really good friend. It all makes for some really compelling songs. But not a lasting relationship. |
I believe it wasn’t that afar at all. She has probably been hooking up with him on and off for years. Her songs make that pretty obvious, eg “Every time you are touching me, every time you are loving me, Oh Lord, save me, my drug is my baby, I get so high, every time…” She told him in End Game, “I’m one call away whenever you need me…. Drinking on a beach, you all over me.” False God on the Lover album details the touching and kissing. A number of Songs on Folklore and Evermore too. And if Style is indeed about Matty, then this love goes farther and deeper than any of us suspect. Then there are his songs with references of them being together way before 2023. Eg, About You: “With nothing to do, I could lay and just look in your eyes.” |
Heroin (which the e)? |
Seems like it only worked when it was secret/forbidden, couldn't handle the cold light of day. |
I think down bad and I can do it with a broken heart are both about having a miscarriage. |
I feel like a lot of these lyric connections are reaching. Like Harry STYLEs is also a tattooed, smoking, James Dean wannabe. And she and Joe did in fact have romantic vacations on the beach. |
+1 the fact that he ghosted her - that disqualifies him as her “one true love.” It was terribly disrespectful and cruel. Why are we romanticizing him? |
This is just her side of the story though. Maybe she gave him an ultimatum, and he told her not to try to change him? She did go overboard with her collaborations with Ice Spice right after that overblown story of his and the talk show’s comments about Ice Spice, which was her trying to fix his public image. I doubt he ghosted her without ever giving her an indication of why. He loved/loves her too you know. |
She and Harry did not have to hide and take long drives in the middle of the night Reputation is absolutely about Matty Healy. Big reputations, we’ll be a big conversation. |
“How dare you think it’s romantic, leaving me safe and stranded.” “Told me I’m better off, but I’m not, I’m not, I’m not.” - My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys Imo, Matty left to save her the hate and slander. And she obviously knows it. Remember her fans were performing all kinds of crazy soliloquies because they somehow thought they know him and what’s best better than her. |
1989, the album Style is on, was released in October 2014. Taylor didn't even meet Matty until the next month, November 2014. https://people.com/music/taylor-swift-matty-healy-relationship-timeline/ Taylor is good, but she's not THAT good. |
-1. “All those nights you kept me going, swirled you into all of my poems.” |
They dated publicly in November 2014. It’s unclear when they actually met for the first time. They have common friends and attend the same parties, house get togethers and events. There are articles and rumors circulating that she has been fan girling him at his bands’ concerts starting around late 2013/early 2014. |
