LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Swifties have faced a challenging year, marked by the first controversy surrounding Taylor Swift's Eras Tour tickets.

The Swifties are currently grappling with a new issue as the aftermath of the civil war that divided Swiftie Nation starts to fade. Naturally, the topic at hand is Healy-gate. So, let's delve deep into this burning topic.

Is Taylor Swift dating Matty Healy?
Yes, there is a strong likelihood that Swift and Healy are dating, despite any personal preferences one might have. These longtime pals have been spending a lot of time together, though it could be on a platonic level or perhaps collaborating on new songs. However, fans who view the lead singer of 1975 as a disgusting boor unworthy of Taylor's company would find even that association to be unacceptable. Healy would indeed be an unexpected choice for Swift. Some fans have even demanded that Swift publicly distance herself from Matty due to his unrepentant drinking, constant presence of a cigarette in his hand, and his affinity for "edgy" comedy.
Swift typically leans towards a more refined (and taller) type of gentleman, so her sudden interest in Matty has left Swifties worldwide perplexed. In comparison to Joe Alwyn, whom Swift was engaged to before their recent breakup, Matty seems to be worlds apart on the surface, as reported by Hollywood Gossip. However, Healy does share a notable trait with Joe, as well as with Tom Hiddleston, Calvin Healy, Harry Styles, and several others. Additionally, being from the UK seems to be a requirement for dating Swift these days, and Healy fits that criterion. This is a commonality he shares with every male Swift has dated in the past decade.
Taylor Swift's eternal liking for English men
Since her brief relationship with Connor Kennedy in 2012, Swift hasn't been romantically linked with an American. Instead, she has exclusively dated British partners, except for Calvin, who hails from Scotland. The reason behind Swift's fondness for English men remains unknown. Reports suggest it could be attributed to their dialect, fashion sense, or perceived gentlemanly demeanor.
Perhaps it's because they don't commonly use terms like "bruh," refrain from wearing basketball shorts, or avoid making sandwiches with fried chicken instead of bread. Regardless, Swift may have missed the mark a bit with Healy. While he is British, he may lack the striking appeal of some of Swift's previous partners. Healy could potentially be more personable in a private setting, but he should steer clear of risky podcast interviews if he wants to win over Swifties.
