Matty Healy split with model he was dating weeks before falling ‘madly in love’ with Taylor Swift

MATTY Healy split with the gorgeous model he was dating - just weeks before falling ‘madly in love’ with Taylor Swift. 

The 1975 frontman broke things off with Meredith Mickelson at the end of February after dating for a month. 

“Matty was seeing Meredith while he was in LA in February - but things fizzled out when he went to New York at the end of the month,” says an insider. 

“They’re still on good terms but haven’t been romantically involved since then.”

The Sun revealed last night that Matty is now dating global superstar Taylor Swift - and friends say they’re are ‘madly in love’. 

It comes a month after it was revealed US singer-songwriter ­Taylor, 33, had split from actor Joe Alwyn, 32, after six years.

A source close to Taylor said: “She and Matty are madly in love. It’s super-early days, but it feels right. They first dated, very briefly, almost ten years ago but timings just didn’t work out.

“Taylor and Joe actually split up back in February, so there was absolutely no crossover.

“Both Matty and Taylor have been touring over the past few weeks, so it’s been a lot of Face-Timing and texting but she cannot wait to see him again.

"But as two international megastars, they understand the pressures of one another’s jobs better than anyone, and are incredibly supportive of their respective careers.

“They are both massively proud and excited about this relationship and, unlike Taylor’s last one — which was very much kept out of the spotlight, deliberately — she wants to ‘own’ this romance, and not hide it away.

“Taylor just wants to live her life, and be happy. She’s told pals Matty is flying to Nashville over the weekend to support her on the next leg of her tour.”

Fans have spotted a clue that Matty actually "wrote a hit song" about Taylor.

The 1975 singer's track She's American includes lyrics like "Ohh, she's dancing enthralling, I guess I gotta wait my turn".

It was released back in 2016, years after Taylor and Matty first dated before going their separate ways.

"Isn’t She’s American supposedly about Taylor," asked someone.

A fan said: "Yeah how they don't know Matty made a song about Taylor 'She's American' so Taylor made 'London Boy' and also they made the songs called 'Paris' together n dedicated it to each other.

"You know why Taylor’s documentary was named Miss Americana cause Matty loves America and America likes him."

Another added: "Remember when everyone was like 'She’s American is about Taylor Swift' cos I do."

Addressing the rumours at the time following a flirtation with Taylor, Matty said: "The one time I did have a flirtation with a girl it ends up going everywhere... I mean, I got on E! News and people were like, 'Who's Matt Healy?' so that was cool.

"But I didn't make a big deal out of it myself. It's not really anything to talk about, because if she wasn't Taylor Swift we wouldn't be talking about her. She wasn't a big impact on my life.

"It's just interesting to me how interested the world is about Taylor Swift.”

In January this year, 34-year-old Matty brought out Taylor to perform his 1975 gig at London's O2 Arena.

Playing her acoustic guitar, Taylor treated the crowd to her hit Anti-Hero before covering 1975's The City from their 2013 album.
