I find him beautiful, smart, and talented. There is a reason why the cool girls in the music and modeling worlds have all wanted him at one point or another. |
I didn’t even know this guy existed until Taylor. Now I love the 1975. The fact that they were each others muse for decades makes me wonder if they’ll be able to replicate that passion in future music. It’s lightening in a bottle and they’ve been outed. It will never be the same. This has been going on since 1989 where Taylor and Matty collaborated on Slut! which went to the vault. Every album since then is all Matty coded. |
Probably even before that. Mine and Enchanted in Speak Now if you want to believe they met online somehow before he had made it. They were both on myspace. |
🤯 Robbers is my favorite 1975s song, and so I immediately noticed Taylor’s nod to it in Ready For It. Then years later, she did it again in Peace, The 1 and Cowboy Like Me. |
Joe quiet quit. Couldn’t have been that boring and inconsequential since she wrote with him and wrote, at a minimum, invisible string and getaway car about him. She basically dumped Matty by doing all the PR BS rather than backing him. |
What’s the Robbers connections to those TS songs? |
Eh. I kind of see his mum’s perspective. The Taylor relationship and public scrutiny that came from it was very stressful for him. She’s not unbiased about who she cares about between them. I also find him ugly and whiny. But he’s dated a lot of women so doesn’t seem to be gay. And he’s not famous enough to need to beard. |
Looks like Taylor is hard core enforcing that NDA. Taylor says “FAFO”. Denise in tears, Matty consoling.

Taylor's brand will always come first. Whoever she's with will have to accept that. Travis accepts it (embraces it, even). Matty didn't or couldn't (and to be clear, I'm not saying he should). |
Off the top of my head: "Knew I was a robber first time that he saw me" - Ready For It Robbers: If you never eat you'll never grow The 1: If you never bleed you'll never grow Clean is the same sound |
This thread is really creepy. Middle aged women spamming fan fiction for 18 pages about some bisexual nepo baby's fling with a pop star a few years ago. |
1: you don’t know it’s all women 2: if you don’t like it, move along |
As one of the posters doing such things this made me lol for real because I can see how it looks creepy. I just see these 2 as artists and muses for one another so it is interesting to see how and when they tie back to each other. |
“Knew I was a robber first time that he saw me” in Ready For It. But also Matty is “Burton to this Taylor”, a reference to Richard Burton’s & Liz Taylor scandalous, fiery love story. “And if you never bleed, you're never gonna grow” in The 1 versus “Now if you never shoot, you'll never know And if you never eat, you'll never grow” in Robbers. “You're a bandit like me, eyes full of stars” in Cowboy Like Me. Earlier that year Matty gave a speech at an awards show that Taylor attended, talking about the importance of being a “cowboy” in music and art. “ But there's robbers to the east, clowns to the west, I'd give you my sunshine, give you my best But the rain is always gonna come if you're standing with me” in Peace. |
Anyone familiar with Mattys mom knows that she’s on an attention HO. That was staged. |
