There's no love triangle. Matty was done with long before she met Travis. |
Lol Viva Las Vegas being her ick is hilarious |
I think Taylor did try to make it work ("try" equating to "clean up his PR messes and make him palatable to my fanbase" in her mind). Matty didn't want to play those games. Why would be? It would be exhausting for somebody like him to feel like he had to mind his Ps and Qs 24/7. Taylor is very image-conscious, and cultivating the "right" image has made her rich and famous, but this is the other side of the coin. |
He is also a genuine and caring person, unlike most of the phony celebs she has been surrounded by her whole life. In her song Slut!, which is about her love with Matty, she said "In a world of boys, he's a gentleman." Her words, not fan fiction. |
I’ll pass on deeper level thinking if it means a guy that gets off on Ghetto Gaggers porn - I expect more from a liberal elite website poster. Don’t forget about his tiny, weird body and cringey dance moves I don't know about tiny, weird body. He is slim, yes, but I think Americans are conditioned to look at normal healthy body types outside of the U.S. and think skinny and tiny because we are a fat nation. Also, how does a supposed racist date FKA Twigs for over two years? |
If any girl would go with MH -- that says a lot about the girl. He is a drug addict. You can't have a relationship even if he was the hottest guy in the world. He is a non-starter. After all of that --- Travis is the opposite. I think Taylor grew up. She has her guy now. Likely they are married before year end. |
It was meant how you took it. I know they are not - but they like to think that they are. I also forgot to mention MH's fondness for Heroin and statements like 'dating Taylor would be emasculating'....what a man! |

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to say 'I'm/He/She/Them/They/Ze aren't racist because they have black friends...' |
He was right. It was emasculating. Her rabid fans made him start apologizing from day one for who he is. I would have walked out too. |
He hasn’t touched hard drugs in years. Just because someone made a mistake in their past doesn’t make them a bad person. None of us are perfect. I have a friend who missed a year in college because she was an addict. It was very bad. She is a mom and a surgeon now who saves lives on a daily basis. “God save the most judgmental creeps” is a line that was written for people like you. Food for thought. |
He said that many years ago, not recently. |
She finally mustered the courage to tell the world about how down bad she is for Matty Healy. Fans are now connecting dots with lyrics about him dating as far back as her Reputation album and all the other albums since then, and lyrics between his band's songs and her. Check out the Oh Caroline video - the dance he does with the girl is the same silly dance Taylor does in Delicate. There are hundreds of clues to their secret love over the years, some even speculating that she was hooking up with MH on the down low while with Joe (not my take, but it wouldn't surprise me). Why in the world would she admit all of that after the fact if the door is not open? She says so herself in loml: our love was legendary, still alive at the cemetery, never quite buried. She might have closed a chapter, but that book ain't finished yet ;) |
My take (for what it's worth, which isn't much) is that she finally admitted it because it's finally closed. Putting it out there is what slams the door shut for good. That's how I listen to the album and the takeaway that I'm getting from it. |
Great article. The ick is off the charts. She hates this clown. Staying with him for the PR arrangement. |
Most people grow up and get over the guys they pursued who were the best sex ever or they had the best intellectual chemistry with, but made for terrible relationships. If they settle down and don’t keep making the same mistake, it’s with people like Travis - the stable guy who shows up consistently and sticks around. Tons of people do keep making the same mistakes and that’s why they remain single. Taylor keeps seeking some kind of approval in these men. It’s classic Annie hall “I would never want to belong a club that would have someone like me for a member.” |
