Matty Healy’s mysterious Instagram picture has raised more questions over his connection with Taylor Swift. In 2023, the two had a brief relationship.

Despite being short-lived, Taylor Swift and Matty Healy’s romance is still revealing fresh details a year later. Although Matty has since been silent about his romance and spoken little about their split, many feel that his most recent cryptic remark alludes to one of Taylor Swift’s songs.

The words of Matty Healy

“Drowning in the Blue Nile / He sent me ‘Downtown Lights’ / I hadn’t heard it in a while” is the opening line of Guilty As Sin’s lyrics. Matty took to his Instagram Stories to present a version of ‘The Downtown Lights’ by 80s band The Blue Nile.

The 1975 frontman posted this with the message, “If you don’t know this cover, you are welcome,” according to Grazia. Swifties used this as sufficient evidence to conclude that Matty was alluding to the Guilty As Sin phrase, which may indicate that the song was about their brief romance.

This is not the first time that a song written by Taylor has been associated with Matty Healy. Many admirers conjectured that the songs “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived” and “The Tortured Poets Department” were also about Matty when the singer’s CD was released.

Although they never publicly acknowledged their relationship, Matty Healy and Taylor Swift were heavily rumored to be dating for a brief period of time. There were several studio sightings and public gatherings throughout the alleged one-month-long romance. Healy was also observed going to several of Swift’s tour locations.

At the moment, Taylor is seeing Travis Kelce. Additionally, the singer is ready to wrap off The Eras Tour, her sixth and most successful concert tour. The three last performances are scheduled for December 6–8 in Vancouver next month.
