“You're in self-sabotage mode
Throwin' spikes down on the road But I've seen this episode and still love the show.” Taylor loves/d Matty despite his antics and reputation. She knows him and herself in a way we, from afar, don’t. Why not give the benefit of the doubt to the person who made a billion dollars writing and singing about love and her feelings. |
Or you could just as much give the benefit of the doubt to that same person saying that chapter of her life is closed and over. Why keep prolonging it. If she’s moved on, why not everyone else. |
Matty … the guy you keep thinking will change but every time you taste him you throw up in the morning |
If Taylor were my friend I would gently suggest she deserves much better and should choose herself, which includes leaving behind those who don't create a healthy safe place for her. |

I lost a baby a while ago, and “About You” and “Bigger Than The Whole Sky” are two songs that I always skip unless I am home alone because they destroy me. I am not surprised they were written by two artists with a deep connection to each other. |
yes, and I am here for it. ...will Matty reply or stay silent? |
DP. It reminds me of 80s alternative bands, like Psychedelic Furs (Heaven, Ghost in You) or New Order. Just beautiful. |
You guys are really romantacizing this whole thing. Just guessing, but you sound pretty young. From someone who is probably quite a bit older and able to speak from more life experience, believe me there’s more you want in a life partner than butterflies and weak knees and writing poetry all night. Maybe she has that now.
“You already know, babe.” |
Yes! I am so glad someone else on this board gets it. |
I am in my 50s and happily married to a stable partner who is wonderful and no poet But then I am also not Taylor Swift, who can live out her entire life like the single best, wildest, funnest day of our youth, and I support that path if that’s what she or others choose. Why do people assume everyone wants the life most of us on this site have (moms, wives, corporate jobs)? Her reality is so different than ours. There can also be happiness and fulfillment in a life of highs and lows with little gray in it. |
Well yes Taylor doesn't need a partner who has to help with the school run or make dinner. Neither will ever live a basic life. Matty is rumored to be worth $20m or so alone. |
+1 And I'll add that the whole Matt Healy thing shines a light on how unlikely it is that Taylor is going to find her happily ever after. Her approach to relationships is not conducive to a longterm match. |
You guys are crazy and in denial. This man is confident, cool and sexy af. And you know what they say about good dancers I get why Tay is down bad. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/BionleIX_ec |
After listening to the album, I get why she's into Travis. I knew nothing about Matty Healy until recently, but I see that she clearly goes for the tortured soul English types, right. But she just released an album denouncing how her fame has infiltrated all facets of her life, that if you want to see mean, great you created it when you came after me; why can't it once be me; where's my soulmate, smallest man who ever lived couldn't handle me, etc. etc etc. Say what you will about her, her level of fame is next level and she's been in relationships where she's been hurt because she felt like she wasn't worth it in the end; where they let the court of public opinion dictate their actions.
Cue Travis Kelce who parades her around, shows up, says he's not running from it, he's all in. That has to be music to her ears, pun intended. Someone is choosing her in a really big way. It's nice. |
