Taylor Swift Fans Shout The Same Thing About Matty Healy's Engagement

Days before taking his engagement public, Matty Healy posted lyrics to Charli XCX’s “So I” song to his Instagram page on June 7. This caused a deluge of Taylor Swift fans to swoop in and speculate that the post was aimed at the “Shake It Off” artist. It should be noted that Charli’s song is about losing her friend Sophia, and that Healy’s fiancée, Gabbriette Bechtel, also appeared in the music video for the singer’s “360” song. Those details were ignored by a swarm of Swifties who theorized that Healy was trying to communicate with his ex-girlfriend.

A few days later, an Instagram user uploaded a screenshot of a tweet where someone weighed-in on the fiasco and referred to the behavior of Swift fans as “a form of narcissism.” That post made its way to Healy, who liked it, per Page Six. This made some wonder if the “Somebody Else” singer really was taking a jab at Swift.

Leading up to the lyrics incident, fans believed there were obvious digs at Matty Healy on “The Tortured Poets Department.” On June 6, a report from Us Weekly was published where a friend of The 1975 artist revealed how Healy felt about Swift’s lyrics. “He loves the attention it’s brought to him, [but] he also thinks it’s hilarious because at no time [were they] ever serious,” the friend told the outlet. “For her to be saying things about baby carriages … and living together — he says it had never even come up,” they added.
