Taylor Swift‘s rumored ex Matty Healy appeared to address the pair’s split during his latest concert.
Swift, 33, and The 1975 rocker’s, 34, romance was revealed in May, amid speculation they had already been dating for weeks — but a friend close to the star confirmed Taylor was ‘single’ again on Monday.
And now Healy — who was reportedly not exclusive with Swift — alluded to the breakup as he hit the stage with his band and noticed several signs from fans expressing their support and love for him.
‘My friend had some very, very beautiful signs that said, “You are loved,”‘ he told the crowd while pointing out the fan in the crowd, as seen in a Twitter video. ‘That was very, very kind of you.’
‘I’m sure that’s alluding to…’ he began to say, before stopping. ‘As you’re aware, I’m not very online at the moment and I’m sure people have just been calling me a c**t relentlessly,’ he quipped.

‘I’ve not been online, but what I have been with is my boys,’ he went on.
‘And honestly, as much as I appreciate that, it’s so beautiful, and I thank you. But I don’t need it, because I’ve got them,’ he concluded.
Earlier in the day it was revealed that Taylor and Matty were ‘never boyfriend and girlfriend’ with the singer ‘sowing her oats’ during the brief fling after her split from Joe Alwyn, according to new reports.
It was claimed the romance was never as serious as many believed, that the pair were never even exclusive and that Taylor and Matty will return to being friends – despite reports they were ‘madly in love’ and planning to move in together.
A source told People: ‘She had fun with him, but it was always casual. They are no longer romantically involved.”
Another insider said: ‘They were never boyfriend-girlfriend or exclusive and were always just having fun. There is no drama, and who knows what could happen again. It was a good time and ran its course.
‘Taylor is doing great — her focus right now is her tour. Since Matty is touring too, they won’t be able to see each other at all. They have been friends for years and decided to just go back to being friends. Nothing complicated happened. It’s just life.’
A third source said the pair ‘still care for one another’ and are ‘still friends.’

Doing ok: ‘I’ve not been online, but what I have been with is my boys. And honestly, as much as I appreciate that, it’s so beautiful, and I thank you. But I don’t need it, because I’ve got them,’ he concluded
Further sources added to Page Six that Taylor was ‘letting off steam’ with the brief romance after her ‘stifling’ romance with Alwyn and that she will ‘not be writing albums’ about Matty.
They said: ‘Everyone who really knows her has been saying all along that this was a fun, good time thing that would last as long as it lasted and would be no big deal once it was done
‘She will not be writing albums about this one. It was a summertime thing. Does everyone have amnesia about Tom Hiddleston? Jesus Christ.’
‘She’s allowed to let off some steam and sow her oats afterwards without people claiming first that she’s head over heels and then that she’s breaking up with the guy. It’s not a breakup. It’s a natural evolution of a fun little thing whose moment is over.’
She and Matty were last seen together on May 25 in New York City. The split also comes three days after Matty was seen kissing a male security guard at a Denmark concert.
The performer was initially linked to Swift following their first meeting, which took place in 2014.

Matty had been seen publicly supporting the singer on her The Eras Tour, shooting the star loving glances as he attended her Nashville concerts.
The pair were also seen in NYC numerous times, leaving a recording studio and heading for dinner with her pals, Margaret Qualley, Phoebe Bridgers and Zoe Kravitz.
The rocker was previously in relationships with singers Halsey and FKA Twigs, and he separated from the latter in 2022.
The Karma songwriter has been linked to numerous figures in the past, and she ended her relationship with Alwyn, whom she dated for six years, this past April.
