at this point im checking your channel like its the morning paper. whenever i psychically sense a disturbance in this fandom it's you i run to to receive the run-down on what miss girl is up to now and i just want to say thank you for your service king 🙏
Me too. It’s how I can actually verify things from the Swiftdom. With so many newcomers now posing as lifelong swifties, it’s the only valid source for Tay Lore.
i definitely took the "im the happiest ive ever been, everything in my life makes sense" as not literal at all and more like "i control my life and my narrative. let me. shut up" like you said. course correcting the fans and honestly living for that.
I think it’s crazy how in Bejeweled she says, “and when I meet the band they ask do you have a man and I still say I don’t remember” (I think those are the lyrics) and the sample she uses in Question was “oh I remember” implying that she doesn’t care to remember her current relationship but she does remember and look back on a past one
I kinda thought it might be about Jake, Harry and Tom. Starting off from all too well I remember it all too well I remember Big city, wrong choices. A color I have searched for sense. Red.
@@kaceeharrison3715 question is matty and harry coded. but now, its matty. color she searched for is like the color reference from halsey (who she said used her red song as reference and she hated taylor way back 2015, maybe due to matty-taylor fling). the politics and gender role because matty as a new artist was very vocal about what he stands for (harry wasn't because their image was controlled). allegedly the inspiration was an after party where taylor and matty were seen again but this time she's with cal vi n, the dic khead guy😭.. I can't listen to question and somebody else the way before this situation is revealed. taylor could be the somebody else girl😅
She also says in Bejeweled “Familiarity breeds contempt, don’t put me in the basement when I want the penthouse of your heart”…..the first time I heard it I thought she and Joe Alwyn knew each other so much now that there is a hate or lack of interest in each other that has creeped up in the relationship. The relationship lost its shine, He treated her less than ordinary, he thought she lost her shine after knowing her for many years but she is telling that she still can shine and shimmer even without her man!!!
As someone who got out of a disfunctional 6 year long relationship a few years ago, let me just tell you this girl was DONE way before there were any signs. My guess is she's been emotionally exiting this relationship through the back door for a long time (for whatever reason). I have no idea what was the final straw but I bet you anything that part of the reason she's this okay is because she mourned this relationship A LONG time ago. They may not have been oficially over when she hit things off with Matty, but her heart wasn't spoken for anymore. He just came into the picture at the right moment for her to ask herself all the questions and just go with it. If you listen closely, in the context of her relationship with Joe, reputation was how this love helped her through dark times, then we got the honeymoon candy phase of lover, and then went straight to folklore and evermore which are both quite telling in their lyricism - even if they are both proclaimed as fictional. You can tell they've been on the rocks for quite some time but Midnights just cemented it. Also, leaving such a huge chunk of your life behind is hard enough. Imagine writing a hundred love songs about someone, keeping your relationship quiet and picture perfect, making it a POINT to protect it from the media attention and creating this invisible string aura around it. How do you tell the whole world it's over? Everyone (except the swiftologist 😂) suddenly loved Joe Alwyn and what does anybody REALLY know about him? Only the things Taylor has said in her songs. The Matty situation makes too much negative commotion to be a PR stunt so it's probably real. Rebound? Probably but we shall never know. Let the girl have some fun, she's lived behind closed doors for 6 years.
Your point toward the end of this comment is part of why I’m a Maroon is about Joe truther. The memory over her and the legacy he leaves is the massive amount of her discography associated with him, whether as a muse or collaborator.
I disagree. My understanding of her relationship with Joe was that he made her a better person and brought her down to earth. Songs like Peace and the Lakes are very very telling. Relationships get difficult and have rough patches. She wasn't behind closed doors for 6 years. She was in a relationship that she described as incredible.
I agree for the most part. I left a toxic 3 year relationship when I was 20 and you're so right about mourning the relationship before its even officially over, but I definitely had a very long and messy healing process still to go. I had a rebound that helped me out of that relationship and I had falsely believed I was ready for something new with them almost immediately. I was shouting "I'm the happiest I've ever been" all over the place denying myself the space to heal and just making a mess of a lot of things. If theres one word to describe the news around TS right now its MESSY. Like you said we will never know anything for sure my only guess is that shes having a messy post break up moment, I can't judge someone going through that. I couldn't even imagine being a pop superstar with all of the world watching me during my messy post break up breakdown (not saying hers is a 'breakdown')
Matty said that he got scared during the dating rumours, because he was still establishing himself as an artist an did not just want to be associated as someone's boyfriend. He wanted to be taken seriously as an artist and make his own name. He said how much pressure he felt from the media just through the specualtions of them dating, and almost all of the questions he got in interviews was about Taylor and their dating rumours. He spoke very highly of her as a person and artist, but did not want their relationship to come before him as an artist. So it was not just Taylor who stopped this relationship from happening.
they even declined the opportunity to be the opener act on artists like taylor and rihanna on their biggest concerts. he declined the sale of their music on other pop stars like 1D because he truly values their art. this is sensible, i hope he'd change the way he acts on camera now
@@Rinniantoinette Healy has a really big established fanbase and legacy behind him already, so he won't just be known just for his relationships. He might be to the swifties who hadn't heard about him maybe. But similarly with John Mayer, he had a huge fanbase before dating Taylor. John is still taken seriously as an artist after his relationship, no matter how much hate the swifties have given him. The John Meyer fans don't really give a damn about his relationship history as they are more into the music, not the drama behind the scenes.
Maybe she just meant in that moment, things felt right she's finally back on tour, she left an unhappy relationship, she's spending more time with friends etc. Everyone has ups and downs. Maybe this was a moment of Ups.
Me too, but at the same time, for her sake, I was hoping she had matured past the chaos and into an era where she could finally enjoy a more stable life and relationship as she inevitably fades from the limelight (which isn't happening as soon as she expected, but it will happen at some point). On some level, it pains me to see 33 year old Taylor reverting to 25 year old Taylor behavior and circumstances, but at the same time, if she really wants to be brought back to life and have her fun, this is the time to do it. I hope she ends up finding true happiness, whatever that means for her, but I am along for the ride to witness her journey, no matter how bumpy or sidetracked.
Not me :’) I loved Folklore Taylor which seemed like a wise iconic poet who’s got life actually figured out and wants to live everyone’s fantasy of leaving everything behind with her lover. She was so inspiring to me at that time and now I’m so confused. I’ll thank her for giving me THAT era. But I’ll just sit back and shake my head for this era. I’m speechless with every piece of news that comes out.
Could question be about Matt? I always thought it was about Harry Styles but idk anymore, it would make sense for her to be reminded of her feelings for him while they worked together on Midnights...
@@purplebutterfly314 I think we're all wondering. It's either, as Zack is saying, that Question is about Matty and she used the OOTW sample to throw everyone off, or that Question was originally written about Harry but the good memories around it are of the times she spent with Matty during the Midnights collab when she was writing and recording the song. As mentioned, she has been using a lot of her songs that were originally written about other scenarios entirely and applying them to the current events of her life, so this could be the case with Question as well.
So I discovered a strange tidbit last week and I’m surprised I haven’t seen anyone else yet notice that the day the break up was announced April 8th is also Matty’s birthday! And their were reports that Joe leaked the breakup before Taylor had wanted to info to come out…so did Joe do it on that day to say to Taylor that “he knows”??? Thoughts anyone? Or have I also fallen down the rabbit hole?
Don’t forget in in “About You” Matty Healy repeatedly sings the line “do you think I have forgotten about you?” Maybe the “I remember” could be a response to that? The fact that they were working on albums simultaneously with Jack Antonoff while apparently collaborating on unreleased music is soooooo juicy to me.
I think the more time that passes, the more it's becoming clear that Joe & Taylor were in a tumultuous on again/off again relationship right from the start. It was never a solid 6 years. Afterglow, Bejeweled, The Great War, etc gave us some major hints. She finally found the strength to let it go for good and now she's content.
@@VigilanteshitsupremancyIt could be but right now all the songs on midnights are being questioned. Also, she seems to hate writing songs for that man, so I wouldnt be so sure.
@@Vigilanteshitsupremancy It’s about a few people. There’s references to him in there, but there’s also references to Tom. I think bejeweled is just about realizing her worth while looking back on many different relationships.
I gotta admit, her basically saying shut up I’m happy on stage is iconic 😭😭😭 like damn she is BOLD. To see someone be so like confident and proud when Swifties are being crazy and sending letters and all that shit, like damn I am blown away. Loving these updates, Swiftologist is literally serving us
is it really something for swiftues celebrate when the guy has literally spoken about getting off to gg? but yk taylor’s an “ally” so it’s all good, right?
@@pwofbgbejd i think the thing is was not being literal when he talked about gg, he was being satirical as the comment was made on a comedy podcast where people are playing "dirt bags" to mock alt-right podcasts like jordan petersen. so it was a very insulting joke that was a harmful mistake he apologized for- but it is not him literally doing it.
@@glitteriable yeah it's one of those "dirtbag leftist" comedy shows. it was not like an honest "confessional" "real" podcast like people are trying to say. but i agree that it was dumb as fuck for him to even go on there in the first place because they have such niche audiences and satire can still fall flat and cause harm.
I have a feeling Joe is going to get messy in the next couple of weeks. The more the romance between Matty & Taylor gets publicity, the more likely he or someone close to him is going to do an impulsive tea spill...and im ready for it
This could be one of the reasons, along with trying to appease the fandom a bit, that Matty has been MIA at the Foxborough shows (I'm sure he's there, just not so visible, and notably not playing guitar with Phoebe). I think Tree has worked some serious damage control there, and Taylor is reluctantly capitulating...except for dropping cryptic messages and song choices...
@@Bella-ht5jb9he3z I actually think so too. A lot of people, no shade on her it's just human nature, but they need another love interest to shoehorn themselves out of a relationship where they're dissatisfied or angry with their partner. Sometimes that means they start a new thing without having the will to exit the old thing first. If their former partner was basically happy with them and didn't get their "signals" then it's devastating.
I guess someone already did with regards to the leak about Joe being upset about Matty Healey happening so quickly. I doubt Joe cheated on Taylor. I've known some cheaters in my day and he doesn't belong in their tribe at all. More likely she passive-aggressively flirted with cheating because she couldn't openly communicate and demand what she wanted from Joe. This is a common human problem: lack of crucial communication skills in relationships. In her song "You're Losing Me" she refers to "glaring" at him every day, "sending signals" etc. That's not how you have an adult relationship or marriage, at least not a successful one. You let the other person know directly what you want and need. Taylor, by her own admission, isn't good at that, and also by her own admission, she creates drama, is very jealous, insecure and controlling, and needs a LOT of attention and reassurance. Joe probably made the mistake of getting too comfortable with her for her taste.
When she said she's the happiest she's ever been in ALL aspects, I thought about how happy and free she must feel to write about the last years. When you're in a relationship, especially when everyone wants to know everything, you tend to hide the bad parts. Now she can truly be honest about everything and it must feel so freeing. That being said, 6 years is a lot, I find it hard to believe that she's completely healed from that, but everyone's timing is different so idk 🤷♀️
I agree and no, there is no way she is healed from her relationship with Joe. She's riding the high of being on tour and the exhilaration of a new relationship. The real healing will come when Matty has lost his appeal and the crowds have all gone home. I just hope she'll be OK coming out the other side of that; it won't be easy.
I also thought about her overcoming her ED. That shit is hard as a regular, never mind a worshipped celebrity. And it’s like a recovering alcoholic, you’re always working on it. I’m not a full time fan girl at all and am really out of the loop, but I can see a scenario where they broke up awhile ago, like a year ago or whenever she wrote midnights, and they had an agreement to not go public until her tour started because it’s going to be madness anyway and he’s busy filming. Idk just a thought.
I mean y’all she was in a relationship where she idolized her partner to the point where she stated multiple times the idea of him leaving her was devastating. Seems to me she realized that she was strong enough to stand on her own and she finally feels like she is free to be who she wants. Matty might be a problematic guy but he’s also really chill and part of a friend group she probably feels accepted in. Seems like she finally let go of that need for everything to be perfect.
It's just sad that Taylor seems to still not have grown out of her white feminism. Laundering white men's bad behavior is not a good look. I mean, this is wild of her and I'm living for the mess but... Idc if he's hot and exciting. Gurl there are a bajillion other people 🙈
I don't think her being devastated at the idea of Joe leaving is something that indicates her relationship with him was partly idolization. Anyone in love would be devastated at the idea of their partner leaving.
why are swifties only defining Taylor by who she dates? Suddenly because she's dating Matty Healy she's a horrible person but when she was with Joe she was unproblematic? She is literally her own person. I thought we stopped defining her by who she dates a long time ago, just leave her alone
Connection formed in my head Lavender Haze: "Talk your talk and go viral, I just need this love spiral" That's literally what's going on, everything Matt says goes viral because of what he says and she just wants to be in love with him. Oh my god, could Lavender Haze be a mix of Joe and Matty?
as a person who broke up with their long term partner last september when midnights came out, i kneeeew something was off lmaoo😭 plus i did go through the same phase where i immediately started dating again and i truly was the happiest after so… it’s just the “post breakup dating/life changes” phase
Why did you break up??? Ive been thinking bout a breakup for a few months and after Midnights im just torn Basically, um in a King of my hear vs Midnights state of mind
@@ididitoutofspite986 i started to feel like they didn’t care about me anymore, it was like small things at first, then some bigger/life changing things, and then small things again. i felt cornered and unloved, but forced to love? if that makes sense? and then i was like nope and broke up. best decision of my life tbh and if you’re thinking about breaking up, something might be off, so think about it tbh
@@milas333 your comment kinda made me more torn. There's nothing global, but I'm already a head ahead (ha) of my partner and I need to go, I want to study in a different city(sadly, I can't leave the country since I'm Russian and, well, there's basically no way) and I need more help in daily chores since I ovework/have family needs/shop and cook(and earn more) and a good fuck just isn't cutting it for me I'm 24, lost and feeling stupid honestly
@@ididitoutofspite986 omg nooo, i would for suuure advise you to break up!! after some time the lack of help in all aspects of your life from him will reflect on everything, sex, love, affection, etc. also, i can only imagine how stuck you must be feeling, i can barely see my friends who are studying in russia right now :(
@@milas333 ooh, you have friends here? I might see them on your behalf haha My bf helps, but I have to ask for it. Hr only brought me flowers when he fucked up and such(in contrast - me and my friends gift each other flowers just because). I've spent the Ny with my friends, I've spent my bd with them. I'm basically a maid and a glory hole, that's what it feels like sometimes
Zach, way to put it all together THESE CRIMES! How dare she use Question!! Keep in mind the timeline 2021-2022 when she was writing Midnights with JAck, MAtty was writing his album with Jack at the exact same time. And during that time, Matty and Taylor worked on songs for Midnights.... so they were interacting back then at least on a friendship and collaborative level. Don't forget 6/9 opening acts have connections to MATTY, and she had to have planned that back in August 2022, and he planned his tour break around the Phoebe dates in May. I don't think she cheated. But, I think he has loved her and when things went south with Joe, and the cheating rumors, the "this is about how to propose, its not that hard" and "how to apologize is all they have to do", she reached for Matty who was there with open arms, who had loved her for ages. This Joe thing is turning into some tea, there are RUMORS surrounding the RUMORS about him.
I've had a theory about Question...? being about Matty Healy. Life took them in opposite directions so while there was not a ton of intense pining or back and forth, the seed of connection was planted in her: Unlike other sassy Taylor songs, she doesn’t seem to be particularly angry at this person. There is actually a lot of tenderness to this because she is prefacing it as “Can I ask you a question?” Instead of something like “I forgot that you existed.” Lol. “But one thing after another Lost in situations, circumstances Miscommunications and I Have to say By the way I just may like some explanations” Basically, all the scenarios she’s singing about have to do with things that happened: - They kissed in front of his friends and it was handled in an immature way (they laughed at him) - He took off in the middle of the night when they spent the night together - He retreated and pulled away and that was the end of it The way she repeats this so many times is like teasing him for his behavior: “Can I ask you a question? Did you ever have someone kiss you in a crowded room And every single one of your friends was Making fun of you But fifteen seconds later they were clapping too? Then what did you do?” Reasons to think it’s Matty Healy: “sad boy” (self-explanatory lol) “But you were on something It was one drink after another” (Matty’s drug problem) “Caught in politics and gender-roles” (things Matty Healy sings about a lot) Basically, it’s all left as gentle and almost playful questions and she “just may like some explanations”
I hear a lot of people judging her for jumping into a relationship so quickly after a long/serious one. First of all, we don't even know the exact details and when things switched off. Just because we heard Taylor & Joe broke up in April, doesn't mean they did and it doesn't mean she was happy till the end. I can absolutely relate to what she is going through. I was involved in a 4 1/2 year relationship where I lived with the person. They treated me poorly for the last year and I was too afraid to start over. I mourned that relationship while being in it. I knew it had to end. By the time, I moved out, I was over the relationship. I was excited to start over and was out and about. Within 3 months, I met a new man. We are married and have been together almost 10 yrs. I'm not saying Joe did anything negative but I'm just saying it's not always as easy to say "how can you move on so quick after a long intense relationship."
I did the same after being married to a guy for 17 years. 7 of those last years neither of us cared about the other. Like at all. It was a huge waste of my time.
Im kind of in this situation right now? We're fighting(again) and this was a stupid reason. This time i realised that everytime he's pissed he does the thing that my mother did - he stops talking to me(even a "bless you" whe i sneeze is out of question). Finnier wven, he knew ive survived this kind of treatment for 23 years of my life, its all a stupid game for me Now, im just fed up with this Im always punished for stopping up for myself or talking back It's like my childhood all over ahain but the thing is he's no one for me, he isn't a parent im obligated to tolerate Also, this is such a massive turn off(partially because of similarity with my mom), and i know he's scared of that and is deeply hurt I can see us making up and going as we were but i don't look forward to repeating this time and time again
I was so confused because not even a month ago she sang “A place in this world” and mentioned that she relates to this song more now than she did 20 years ago. I dont think of that as I’m in a “happy” phase more like lost and confused…So her saying she is the happiest she’s ever been threw me off but hearing your logic and reasoning makes total sense to me. Im glad she doesn’t care what people think of her now and is doing her own thing. I’m living for this Taylor Swift craziness era 😆
I kind of get it. With Joe, she was happy, but at the expense of the rest of her life. The only way to keep that happiness with him was to sacrifice a pretty big part of her that he didn’t like 🤷🏻♀️
@@MayaLove777idk I thought lavender haze was a happy song. I can’t see it as a negative song. And I’m pretty sure happiness is about her best friend Abigail and her divorce from her husband. They were together for 7 years
during the death of her reputation, it was just and right to hide but now that she's on top of the game they couldn't live on their lil bubble anymore. i hope joseph didn't cage her or felt insecurity cuz he kinda flop🫣 and taylor is always meant to be a superstar
@@kellye.5678 The first verse is very telling, "staring at the ceiling with you you don't ever say too much and you don't ever read into my melancholia," which is saying that the person Taylor is referring to in the song was very withdrawn and uninterested in speaking with her about how she was feeling. And then the part where it says, "they're bringing up my history but you aren't even listening," is saying that Joe didn't care about what Taylor had to say about how the media was affecting her in bringing up her history. Like that song is about a person who is disinterested in you and doesn't take the time to listen to you or talk about how you're feeling.
I get it too. Just means they weren’t right for each other. He was good for her when she was broken and isolated. The relationship ran its course. It happens.
Im not here for matty healy, but i AM AAALLLLLL the way here for Taylors chaotic summer fun. Im ready for a Taylor Messy Summer and her just having fun in the whirlwind of it all ❤
I love that you make these videos to parse everything together during this unhinged time. Keep it up please! It's so puzzling to think about when the Joe relationship ended, and I'm not sure I buy that they stayed together publicly so as not to detract from her Midnights album release. Because let's be honest, if she did a breakup announcement anywhere close to an album release, I'm pretty sure everyone would be extra thirsty for tea and she'd reap the benefits. Love your channel!
I agree. Yes, they were "papped" on the street in October, but we also got a couple of very candid bystander shots of them in New Orleans around her birthday in Dec. when he was filming there, and they supposedly put a London mansion under contract for purchase in November. Things definitely could have been rocky for a long time, but I think they were really trying to make it work (or at least not 100% given up) until Jan. or Feb.
Your take on what she was actually saying is exactly what I thought, I got “shut the fuck up, or fuck off, either way I don’t care, I’ll be fine” vibes. I’ve seen quite a few people saying that what she said felt like a slap in the face, I believe it was intended to be, and she’s letting them know not to let the door hit them on the way out.
I love how you’re continuing to report on this as a developing story, rather than waiting for all the pieces to 100% fall together. It’s so interesting to be able to look back on videos from 6 months ago and see where we were completely off the scent and where you had moments of absolute clairvoyance. I can’t wait to revisit all this in hindsight, especially once we have another original album from Taylor, when EOS covers 2023… 😋🍽️
the thing about taylor is that it’s never really over with her. right now we are recontextualizing so many things in her discography due to her public narrative. and the day her narrative is over will be the day her full autobiography gets published after she’s dead, evelyn hugo style. and she will do things in the future where we look bacl at this particular moment and think ‚maybe matty healy never made her happy and they were really just teasing this collab they published in 2024 and this was merely her trying to cool people off.‘ (this is going to be interesting to return to in 10 years, let’s see how this ages) but that’s the fun thing that has so many of us strung around her fingers.
matty healy also worked with taylor for songs on midnights that didn't end up being released .... so maybe during 2022 when things with joe were going downhill she realised she and matty still had chemistry and wrote the wild shit like question and the 'when i meet the band' lyric in bejeweled
It is astounding to me that people are so disrespectful about her expressing happiness during this season of her life because of their own misperceptions about her and her relationship with Joe. She loved him but there was good reason for them to finally end their relationship. Long-term, they wanted different things and grew in different directions. And that's okay. It is so disrespectful to me to characterize her as losing her mind when she's actually just finding herself and enjoying a new season in her life. Her relationship with Joe ended privately long before it was made public. She did her grieving and moved on. And that's okay. I think that most of everybody being dismayed about it has to do with them being disappointed that their projections of who she was and what was going on in her life did not match the reality. And that's okay too.
Really appreciate your dedication to keeping us updated on the tea, I want you to know that it is greatly appreciated! Like you said it’s fun, it’s sport, it’s March madness and I am here for it all with the help of your commentary! 😄 Hope you have a lovely time visiting your family!
I have been telling my swiftie friends that the one is about matty since she dedicated cardigan to him. I felt crazy for almost thinking that they began rekindling a connection during the folklore era but I’m glad you saw it too
They were both at the NME 2020 in February, which was about a month before the lockdowns (at least in the US. I imagine it was similar for other countries) so my fan theory is that it started there. Which would makes sense if he was an inspiration for sure
Ok i will say i called that Question…? Was about matty in a past video comment. The “half moon eyes” (Matty always has those, they are a defining feature) and “suitable and right” (FKA Twigs is an obvious coupling for Matty, they dated for 2 years) really say it all for me. Also, going off what you said about her change of heart when it comes to the morality of cheating - when I heard “Ivy” I was pretty shook. Like that song made everyone want to cheat.
Also it would make sense for her to write that song given she was working with Matt on Midnights, which maybe brought up again the feelings she had for him. For all we know she hasn't really hung out with Harry other than speaking for a bit at The Grammys
Sanity at last! I think the loud voices are primarily really young people who don't have a clue how attraction works IRL. I actually did some homework on this guy and have now watched multiple interviews. He is NOT the demon he is being made out to be. As for the moralizing of his values that is such BS and mostly I think masks the fact that they are pissed he isn't Disney prince material like Joe Alwyn. You know what else he isn't? Boring. I've now also seen countless TikTok's of him singing and dancing and enjoying Taylor's performances and looking thoroughly smitten. Which is an enormous change from Joe's attitude. I think Matty shares some of Taylor's neurosis as well and it can be a heady thing to find someone who can connect along that line. Is it stable? Probably not, but if you never bleed your never gonna grow. I have also seen clips of Taylor greeting and hugging Matty back in 2020 at the NME awards. So it's not like they never run into each other.
I agree Clash Fan, if everyone calmed down and looked beyond the click-bait headlines they would understand that Matty is fundamentally a really decent guy and so creatively talented also. They have been friends for 10 years, that is a good foundation, and if both he and TS have matured they are actually a great match. I also think Halsey really described him well in her song 'Colors', when she was lamenting the end of their relationship. She described him as 'You're ripped at every edge but you're a masterpiece'. That sums him up perfectly, he is a gem of a person (charismatic, talented, exciting, likeable and fun), he just needs to steady himself and realise that a LOT of people don't get the edge lord, British humour, unfortunately it is taken literally by the general public and generates negative publicity. In Europe and in The 1975 fandom we take it with a pinch of salt and roll our eyes when he goes too far, as he usually (too late) realises that he has put his foot in his mouth *again*, but he is sincere when he apologies for stupid shit. Plus, obviously their common friend groups get him, because I don't see Ryan Reynolds/Blake Lively or TS family etc giving Matty public approval and sharing time with him if they didn't like him
@@jerlong4422 I wasn’t familiar with The 1975 other than that they are a band. Finding out they are a Manchester band made me understand the edge lord stuff. Morrissey is the OG edge lord after all. 🤣 One thing that also says a lot is that the band members are all friends and have actually managed to maintain that friendship. Hard to do even without the pressure of fame.
@@clashfan2875 Yes, they started out at 13 years old and are still together 20 years later, plus as four blokes they opening discuss how much they love and care for each other. That type of long-term friendship means something in this day and age. Plus another thing that people don't realise is that Matty is the song-writer and George the producer within the band. The other two band-member don't take part in the creative process per se. So for publishing rights, it should largely just be Matty and George, for example like Lennon and McCarthy in The Beatles. BUT Matty insisted early on that the four of them were a unit as a band, and they share out the money equally between the four of them, because they value the other two as equal band-members. That is a lot of money, and it shows how fundamentally decent he is. Please give him a chance, he is a genius artistically and lyrically, he definitely goes to far sometimes, but fundamentally decent person.
I see that she's happy despite the chaos, she is now a free woman. not hiding from good girl persona, she doesn't care about how people percieve her. There's a lot of reasons for her to be happy. Her mom's looking great, friends are supportive, her career is in another level now, honeymoon phase and she's in IDGAF era🥰🥰
I’ve literally developed insomnia based on how unhinged the experience of being a Swiftie is right now. No one in my life understands thank goodness for the Swiftologist!!
@@michelleyourbelle27 I kinda want to just shut off my social media and put like some kind of locker on RUclips so that I don't get anymore of Matty Healy or Joe Alwyn or Taylor shades her ex in this performance news. And just when I decide I'm gonna do something she announces a new song, and probably hits different coming on spotify and another MV, another remix collab. A deluxe late night midnight album.
personally i think taylor should play i did something bad at the next show. clearly people don’t like her new relationship, so i think she should have some fun with that.
How can anyone hate her for dating who she wants and who makes her happy! We aren’t the ones dating Matty so let the girl be happy and date who she wants. She isn’t married yet and she can explore any relationship she wants. Let her find her one without creating drama for her.
When she sang question last night I literally gasped because she sang it on the one year anniversary of Harry’s house. Now this can still be for Matty but that’s was so unhinged because why that specific day
this might be an unpopular opinion but I don't think matty is just a rebound. I think the fact that they worked on songs together for midnights and were in the studio again earlier this year suggests that they've been in contact for a while and probably developed a friendship before they started dating. they also run in the same circles and have a lot of mutual friends. they even wrote songs about each other on their most recent albums so there are clearly unresolved feelings there as well. I don't think taylor sees him as just 'some guy' she's hooking up with. moreover they must really really like each other to go through with this relationship knowing it would get a lot of negative media attention. I mean matty literally deleted his entire social media presence before they announced the relationship. they clearly knew there would be backlash. so even if it doesn't work out in the end, I get the vibe that they're both pretty serious about each other at the moment
Honestly I agree. I don’t know if it will last at all, BUT it does make a lot of sense for all the reasons you mentioned. And all of his public support of her has made me happy bc it’s the polar opposite of Joe
Ive always thought Midnight Rain sounded like a The 1975 song. I even thought that it will sound better if a male singer would sing the chorus-I exactly had Matty in mind. Insane.
I can almost guarantee that Matty wrote Oh Caroline as well as About You, for Taylor. You guys have got to watch his performance in Manila night 2 of Oh Caroline that he sang before flying to meet up with her. It’s incredible, so much passion and emotion.
The "Eras Era" is going to go down as the most chaotic Era ever!!! Taylor is just living her life without saying anything during the peak of her career and it is giving me life!!! I am here for it.
Ok as a woman whose felt this ( at some point lol It didn’t last long ) I so GET this! And you should be happy for her! She’s in her 30s now and sooo much is different for her . She really looks like she’s finally letting her hair hang down! She’s hit her goals and now? Now she’s just LIVING…I’m so loving her now!
Wellllll that instagram post with the new version of the albums has me THINKING. You’ve given us so much content but I’m greedy and I hope you address it
Have you heard about some Swifties who want Taylor to be in a conservatorship? I am very glad this channel exists cuz I hate how pearl-clutching the Swifties are getting.
I live for you calling Joe the heirloom turkey lmao you’re freaking hilarious. “She’s on one, she’s lost her damn mind, and I’m ready to see.” Lol me too. I’m sitting back eating my popcorn. Love your content, thank you ❤
Oh, man - I felt like my entire life finally made sense when I fell crazy in love once. I moved country, occupation, etc etc. Hope it works out a lot better for T.
I must confess I am not a Swiftie, but I was a huge fan of the TV show "LOST" back in the day. Somehow you have managed to turn Taylor Swift into an equivalent of that show. I am now becoming very interested in the mystery and intrigue within this woman's life as per your own mesmerizing narration of events. Taylor Swift's love life is now on par with the greatest mysteries of all time. How Taylor Swift ended-up with Matty Healy is like asking how the pyramids were built? We are presented with this great unsolved enigma complete with clues that span a discography a decade in the making. Your naming songs I do not know the words to, but it doesn't matter... I'm still absolutely captivated by your archaeology and careful curation of all things Taylor Swift.
Taylor Swift really is the ultimate TV show. It's got story arcs, mysteries, heroes, villains, fan service, cliffhangers, distinct seasons, recurring characters and an insane fandom producing a gratuitous amount of fan fics and shipping. Everything a great TV show has, except it's all real life and it's been running for 17 years. We are entertained.
i cant remember where i saw but im pretty sure this made its rounds on deuxmoi, but apparently after the 1975 show ended taylor and matty just stayed in the green room until 4 am just talking
I strongly believe Joe did her wrong. Whatever it was. I was at her Houston show and when she sang You’re not Sorry for the first time in like a decade it clicked. No matter how fast she falls in love or how “petty” she can get, Taylor would NOT disrespect her relationship with Joe for what she painted it to be if he didn’t majorly f up. All these surprise songs point to a betrayal. Her friends unfollowing him. Her rubbing it all in his face. It wasn’t an amicable breakup. Everyone thought Joe was wonderful because of how SHE depicted him in her songs, he’s too private himself for us to really know him. She clearly praised someone who never gave her that praise back. She was talking because she was in love. There’s no way a man in love would avoid every chance to speak about his amazing girlfriend of many years. He probably enjoyed her company, enjoyed dating Taylor Swift (in one of his earlier interviews he’s so amazed he met Kristen Stewart). Maybe he wasn’t all that about her. She was in love and she put him in the light she wanted to see him in. But that time is up. He did something bad.
I’ll add from personal experience. I too praised a long term boyfriend to everyone because I was in love and wanted others to love him. Until I learned he was cheating on me for weeks, maybe months. Boy did my story about him change quickly and publicly :)
Exactly! And Matty has been making it a point to tell the world that he loves, has written songs about her...even when they were with other people he wanted her to know he respects her and admires her genius. That's definitely something that I don't think Joe did as much. After about let's say 4-5 years, one should be comfortable enough to praise your partner in public, and i don't think he was being coy when he didn't.
i feel like the ‘i remember’ at the beginning of Question may just be a call back to the 1989 era rather than the ootw specifically… i was a Question=Harry truther but now with the Matty context the lyrics make so much more sense 🫢
Just saying: this is the perfect time for her to release "crazier (taylor's version)" as a single. She trully is going with the wind, letting it take her where it wants to go, and she's trully getting crazier, crazier, crazier, uh-hun. Maybe another set of four single with You'll always find your way back home (taylor's version)+Crazier (Taylor's Version)+Need+ Hits Different hitting streaming music platforms? It would make a whole lotta sense and I'd be sooo happy because Crazier is one of my favorite songs ever and I know she doesn't really need to release it as a TV, but I'd love to hear it in her current vocals.
Realistically speaking I think she's just grieving all that she lost. She lost six years worth of time and effort, she lost the future she once thought she had with him, the person she thought she was going to become and many more things. She might want to make a point that she's never been happier to counteract her grief (which a completely normal part of a break up) but nevertheless it's a lot to deal for anyone and especially with such a public and scrutinized life.
Honestly Zach, I don't know what's going on, but I really hope I live long enough to read Taylor's tell-all memoir in 30 years. She owes us at this point...😅
I feel like Matty and Taylor are endgame or just a phase. i could see where they are just temporary and don't last long or they completely surprise us all and announce a marriage
I've been thinking Question must be about Matty for a bunch of reason too. My tin foil hat theory is that "you painted all my nights a color I've searched for since" is proof it's about Matty Healy. I think it's a reference to the Halsey song "Colors" which is about him too
When she said she is the happiest she has ever been. I thought to myself that is a subtle nudge telling everyone who is talking negatively about her and Matty to Shut the F*** up! She is happy and I don’t think she cares people are commenting on them. She truly has grown personal to not let the haters get to her hopefully 🤞🏻 She is a real person and her mental health can go down hill by other’s comments or behaviour just like us! I hope she stays strong and happy always 💖
"She's out there fa-la-la-la-laing while the world crumbles around her." This one legit made me laugh out loud! :D God bless her heart, she really seems in a state of sorts, doesn't she?
I'm happy taylor is starting to loosen up from her perfect image and just be free I guess since she's in her 30s now maybe she's more confident and she's had such a dedicated fan base for almost 2 decades maybe she finally realized how unstoppable she really is which us fans have know forever but she never did like in miss americana
Watching these videos it’s like hearing the lyrics of TTPD being played out by you in real time. Example you pretty much nailed the scenarios in “Fresh Out the Slammer” and “But Daddy I Love Him.”
ive loved taylor since i was a kid, but since im just 17, this is the first time i’m truly experiencing the mess of taylor. i’ve gotta say, as long as she’s happy, i’m happy to. i’m enjoying it sm!
I literally gasped and my heart jumped into my throat the first time the words "you're not sorry" venomously spewed from her mouth. "I don't believe you baby like I did before" and "this is the last straw, don't want to hurt anymore" shot daggers as well. That was the moment I knew, there was more to this "non-dramatic, amicable" storyline.
Maybe Matty Healy has grown up? I think they have always wanted to be together. Taylor and Matty are like music royalty! I have always wanted them together! ❤ 🤴 👸🏼 ❤🎉😊
I agree, Matty is fundamentally a really decent guy and so creatively talented also, if both he and TS have matured they are actually a great match. I also think Halsey really described him well in her song 'Colors', when she was lamenting the end of their relationship. She described him as 'You're ripped at every edge but you're a masterpiece'. That sums him up perfectly, he is a gem of a person (charismatic, talented, exciting, likeable and fun), he just needs to steady himself and realise that a lot of people don't get the edge lord, British humour, it is taken literally by the general public and generates negative publicity. In Europe and in The 1975 fandom we take it with a pinch of salt and roll our eyes when he goes too far, as he usually (too late) realises that he has put his foot in his mouth, but he is sincere when he apologies for shit. Plus, obviously their common friend groups get him, because I don't see Ryan Reynolds/Blake Lively etc giving Matty public approval and sharing time with him if they didn't like him.
International swifties here🎉 I just want to say that i really love your elaboration and how mature you are despite all the chaos😅 As a 1975 and Tay fan myself, i think there's zero correlation between LOVING their music and their personal life. Although if the truth is the both ot them really having a romantic or any kinda whatever-ship together, what i could do is just sit and watch them happy and messing things up naturally. 🥰
same, blondie is one of the people who influenced me to listen to 1975 and i love the band since 2013/14. I think harry is the one who introduced the band to taylor because he's a huge fan and both him and matty are from cheshire (he's always in the crime scene)
@@uchiha5531 ikr... so i think there's no harm to just let them be chaotic once in a while. they're have been productive as hell anyway. Tay is keep performing 3days back to back show every single week. And 1975 gonna be back on tour soon.
Honestly being this unhinged in her love life is just in time for Speak Now TV
Right! She knows EXACTLY what she’s doing
omgggg i mean it is fitting 😅
0:11
I didn't mean to do that. No idea how I did cuz I didn't type it. But imma leave it & assume it'd supposed to be there lol
Queen is reliving the eras to their fullest
at this point im checking your channel like its the morning paper. whenever i psychically sense a disturbance in this fandom it's you i run to to receive the run-down on what miss girl is up to now and i just want to say thank you for your service king 🙏
Same 😭😂
Same lol
Me too. It’s how I can actually verify things from the Swiftdom. With so many newcomers now posing as lifelong swifties, it’s the only valid source for Tay Lore.
crying it’s my honor 🫡
Same
Saying your life "Finally makes sense" is such a cursed statement. Like you're just begging for chaos in the coming months.
Lmao! We've all been there, right? 😆
Exactly, she's gonna regret this statement.
jfc so overdramatic and for what, it's just a statement^
I've thought that in my head as I've listened to her past 5 albums.
It sounded to me like she needed to convince herself that everything is GREAT and JUST perfect.
i definitely took the "im the happiest ive ever been, everything in my life makes sense" as not literal at all and more like "i control my life and my narrative. let me. shut up" like you said. course correcting the fans and honestly living for that.
Yeah now her narrative can be "woman in a relationship with a racist" so glad she can control her narrative and show her true colors
I think it’s crazy how in Bejeweled she says, “and when I meet the band they ask do you have a man and I still say I don’t remember” (I think those are the lyrics) and the sample she uses in Question was “oh I remember” implying that she doesn’t care to remember her current relationship but she does remember and look back on a past one
I kinda thought it might be about Jake, Harry and Tom.
Starting off from all too well
I remember it all too well
I remember
Big city, wrong choices. A color I have searched for sense. Red.
@@kaceeharrison3715 question is matty and harry coded. but now, its matty. color she searched for is like the color reference from halsey (who she said used her red song as reference and she hated taylor way back 2015, maybe due to matty-taylor fling). the politics and gender role because matty as a new artist was very vocal about what he stands for (harry wasn't because their image was controlled). allegedly the inspiration was an after party where taylor and matty were seen again but this time she's with cal vi n, the dic khead guy😭.. I can't listen to question and somebody else the way before this situation is revealed. taylor could be the somebody else girl😅
The sample in Question is from Out of the Woods, indicating that both songs are about the same relationship. Which is probably Harry Styles.
She also says in Bejeweled “Familiarity breeds contempt, don’t put me in the basement when I want the penthouse of your heart”…..the first time I heard it I thought she and Joe Alwyn knew each other so much now that there is a hate or lack of interest in each other that has creeped up in the relationship. The relationship lost its shine, He treated her less than ordinary, he thought she lost her shine after knowing her for many years but she is telling that she still can shine and shimmer even without her man!!!
You're the Lady Whistledown of the Swiftie fandom. I wasn't invested in her personal life before, but I can't get enough of your channel!
As someone who got out of a disfunctional 6 year long relationship a few years ago, let me just tell you this girl was DONE way before there were any signs. My guess is she's been emotionally exiting this relationship through the back door for a long time (for whatever reason). I have no idea what was the final straw but I bet you anything that part of the reason she's this okay is because she mourned this relationship A LONG time ago. They may not have been oficially over when she hit things off with Matty, but her heart wasn't spoken for anymore. He just came into the picture at the right moment for her to ask herself all the questions and just go with it. If you listen closely, in the context of her relationship with Joe, reputation was how this love helped her through dark times, then we got the honeymoon candy phase of lover, and then went straight to folklore and evermore which are both quite telling in their lyricism - even if they are both proclaimed as fictional. You can tell they've been on the rocks for quite some time but Midnights just cemented it. Also, leaving such a huge chunk of your life behind is hard enough. Imagine writing a hundred love songs about someone, keeping your relationship quiet and picture perfect, making it a POINT to protect it from the media attention and creating this invisible string aura around it. How do you tell the whole world it's over? Everyone (except the swiftologist 😂) suddenly loved Joe Alwyn and what does anybody REALLY know about him? Only the things Taylor has said in her songs. The Matty situation makes too much negative commotion to be a PR stunt so it's probably real. Rebound? Probably but we shall never know. Let the girl have some fun, she's lived behind closed doors for 6 years.
Your point toward the end of this comment is part of why I’m a Maroon is about Joe truther. The memory over her and the legacy he leaves is the massive amount of her discography associated with him, whether as a muse or collaborator.
this is such a good comment, sums it up
I disagree. My understanding of her relationship with Joe was that he made her a better person and brought her down to earth. Songs like Peace and the Lakes are very very telling. Relationships get difficult and have rough patches. She wasn't behind closed doors for 6 years. She was in a relationship that she described as incredible.
This is one of the only sane comments here. Thank you for saying all this so I didn’t have too.
I agree for the most part. I left a toxic 3 year relationship when I was 20 and you're so right about mourning the relationship before its even officially over, but I definitely had a very long and messy healing process still to go. I had a rebound that helped me out of that relationship and I had falsely believed I was ready for something new with them almost immediately. I was shouting "I'm the happiest I've ever been" all over the place denying myself the space to heal and just making a mess of a lot of things.
If theres one word to describe the news around TS right now its MESSY. Like you said we will never know anything for sure my only guess is that shes having a messy post break up moment, I can't judge someone going through that. I couldn't even imagine being a pop superstar with all of the world watching me during my messy post break up breakdown (not saying hers is a 'breakdown')
Matty said that he got scared during the dating rumours, because he was still establishing himself as an artist an did not just want to be associated as someone's boyfriend. He wanted to be taken seriously as an artist and make his own name. He said how much pressure he felt from the media just through the specualtions of them dating, and almost all of the questions he got in interviews was about Taylor and their dating rumours. He spoke very highly of her as a person and artist, but did not want their relationship to come before him as an artist. So it was not just Taylor who stopped this relationship from happening.
And that's fair and reasonable on both their parts.
they even declined the opportunity to be the opener act on artists like taylor and rihanna on their biggest concerts. he declined the sale of their music on other pop stars like 1D because he truly values their art. this is sensible, i hope he'd change the way he acts on camera now
No matter what, any man that is with TS will only be known for that
@@Rinniantoinette I understand what you are saying but in this case it can be different, 1975 has already a HUGE fanbase and matty is already known
@@Rinniantoinette Healy has a really big established fanbase and legacy behind him already, so he won't just be known just for his relationships. He might be to the swifties who hadn't heard about him maybe. But similarly with John Mayer, he had a huge fanbase before dating Taylor. John is still taken seriously as an artist after his relationship, no matter how much hate the swifties have given him. The John Meyer fans don't really give a damn about his relationship history as they are more into the music, not the drama behind the scenes.
I feel like if she's announcing her happiness and contentment with her life to a crowd of thousands of her fans then we should just be happy for her .
I will not be happy for Taylor being in a relationship with a racist crusty man wtf
I mean she said she was happy during 1989...and she was dealing with a lot
Yeah, damn people need to just let her have her joy.
Maybe she just meant in that moment, things felt right she's finally back on tour, she left an unhappy relationship, she's spending more time with friends etc. Everyone has ups and downs. Maybe this was a moment of Ups.
@@Karenmarie333 I was thinking that too! Also, COVID has changed a lot of things for a loooong time as well. Also, maybe her mom is doing better?
You can judge Taylor all you want but she... HAS NEVER EVER BEEN HAPPIER!
she's about to audition for Oklahoma smh
😂😂😊
That's what she said.This is the happiest she has ever been.
She took a page from Cassie's happiness book 😂
LMAO
why is swiftologist the only youtuber that gets me legitimately excited when they post
💅🏻
Real
I am so sorry but I am LIVING for this mess. I love chaotic, messy Taylor and I was afraid we would never get her again.
Me too, but at the same time, for her sake, I was hoping she had matured past the chaos and into an era where she could finally enjoy a more stable life and relationship as she inevitably fades from the limelight (which isn't happening as soon as she expected, but it will happen at some point). On some level, it pains me to see 33 year old Taylor reverting to 25 year old Taylor behavior and circumstances, but at the same time, if she really wants to be brought back to life and have her fun, this is the time to do it. I hope she ends up finding true happiness, whatever that means for her, but I am along for the ride to witness her journey, no matter how bumpy or sidetracked.
That ain't good thing to love....mental health is important
OMg right!?
Not me :’) I loved Folklore Taylor which seemed like a wise iconic poet who’s got life actually figured out and wants to live everyone’s fantasy of leaving everything behind with her lover. She was so inspiring to me at that time and now I’m so confused. I’ll thank her for giving me THAT era. But I’ll just sit back and shake my head for this era. I’m speechless with every piece of news that comes out.
@@MA-yc7pz well she says she's never been happier, so...
So crazy that taylor put "about you" on her pre-show Playlist and the 1975 put "question" on their pre-show Playlist.
Could question be about Matt? I always thought it was about Harry Styles but idk anymore, it would make sense for her to be reminded of her feelings for him while they worked together on Midnights...
@@purplebutterfly314 Harry was no sad boy when they broke up. She was looking sad on the boat while Harry partied in a hot tub.
@@purplebutterfly314 I think we're all wondering. It's either, as Zack is saying, that Question is about Matty and she used the OOTW sample to throw everyone off, or that Question was originally written about Harry but the good memories around it are of the times she spent with Matty during the Midnights collab when she was writing and recording the song. As mentioned, she has been using a lot of her songs that were originally written about other scenarios entirely and applying them to the current events of her life, so this could be the case with Question as well.
Not to mention that, not only is "About You" on her pre-show playlist, it plays when the Lover visuals are playing on screen. Hmm...
So I discovered a strange tidbit last week and I’m surprised I haven’t seen anyone else yet notice that the day the break up was announced April 8th is also Matty’s birthday! And their were reports that Joe leaked the breakup before Taylor had wanted to info to come out…so did Joe do it on that day to say to Taylor that “he knows”??? Thoughts anyone? Or have I also fallen down the rabbit hole?
Don’t forget in in “About You” Matty Healy repeatedly sings the line “do you think I have forgotten about you?” Maybe the “I remember” could be a response to that? The fact that they were working on albums simultaneously with Jack Antonoff while apparently collaborating on unreleased music is soooooo juicy to me.
I think the more time that passes, the more it's becoming clear that Joe & Taylor were in a tumultuous on again/off again relationship right from the start. It was never a solid 6 years.
Afterglow, Bejeweled, The Great War, etc gave us some major hints.
She finally found the strength to let it go for good and now she's content.
Bejewelled is 'bout Calvin
@@VigilanteshitsupremancyIt could be but right now all the songs on midnights are being questioned. Also, she seems to hate writing songs for that man, so I wouldnt be so sure.
@@dianaandherbooks yeah but bejeweled isn’t about Calvin at all. It’s about HER realizing her worth.
@@Vigilanteshitsupremancy It’s about a few people. There’s references to him in there, but there’s also references to Tom. I think bejeweled is just about realizing her worth while looking back on many different relationships.
The fact the the 1975 was playing question…? In the pre show setlist back in December is CRAZY
HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS WHAT?!
These last 3 weeks have been HARD for the swiftologist 😭 thank you Zach for your insightful coverage
I gotta admit, her basically saying shut up I’m happy on stage is iconic 😭😭😭 like damn she is BOLD. To see someone be so like confident and proud when Swifties are being crazy and sending letters and all that shit, like damn I am blown away. Loving these updates, Swiftologist is literally serving us
Aisha is that you?
@@AB-ku8du Aisha?
is it really something for swiftues celebrate when the guy has literally spoken about getting off to gg? but yk taylor’s an “ally” so it’s all good, right?
@@pwofbgbejd i think the thing is was not being literal when he talked about gg, he was being satirical as the comment was made on a comedy podcast where people are playing "dirt bags" to mock alt-right podcasts like jordan petersen. so it was a very insulting joke that was a harmful mistake he apologized for- but it is not him literally doing it.
@@glitteriable yeah it's one of those "dirtbag leftist" comedy shows. it was not like an honest "confessional" "real" podcast like people are trying to say. but i agree that it was dumb as fuck for him to even go on there in the first place because they have such niche audiences and satire can still fall flat and cause harm.
“Joe Alwyn is distraught by Swift’s new relationship”…. “Get in line” … I died. Zach, I don’t what we would do without you.
I have a feeling Joe is going to get messy in the next couple of weeks. The more the romance between Matty & Taylor gets publicity, the more likely he or someone close to him is going to do an impulsive tea spill...and im ready for it
This could be one of the reasons, along with trying to appease the fandom a bit, that Matty has been MIA at the Foxborough shows (I'm sure he's there, just not so visible, and notably not playing guitar with Phoebe). I think Tree has worked some serious damage control there, and Taylor is reluctantly capitulating...except for dropping cryptic messages and song choices...
Or maybe he just wants to be left alone
The one photo I saw of Joe he looked like hell. I think she left for Matt. Or she cheated and Joe broke it off.
@@Bella-ht5jb9he3z I actually think so too. A lot of people, no shade on her it's just human nature, but they need another love interest to shoehorn themselves out of a relationship where they're dissatisfied or angry with their partner. Sometimes that means they start a new thing without having the will to exit the old thing first. If their former partner was basically happy with them and didn't get their "signals" then it's devastating.
I guess someone already did with regards to the leak about Joe being upset about Matty Healey happening so quickly. I doubt Joe cheated on Taylor. I've known some cheaters in my day and he doesn't belong in their tribe at all. More likely she passive-aggressively flirted with cheating because she couldn't openly communicate and demand what she wanted from Joe. This is a common human problem: lack of crucial communication skills in relationships. In her song "You're Losing Me" she refers to "glaring" at him every day, "sending signals" etc. That's not how you have an adult relationship or marriage, at least not a successful one. You let the other person know directly what you want and need. Taylor, by her own admission, isn't good at that, and also by her own admission, she creates drama, is very jealous, insecure and controlling, and needs a LOT of attention and reassurance. Joe probably made the mistake of getting too comfortable with her for her taste.
When she said she's the happiest she's ever been in ALL aspects, I thought about how happy and free she must feel to write about the last years. When you're in a relationship, especially when everyone wants to know everything, you tend to hide the bad parts. Now she can truly be honest about everything and it must feel so freeing. That being said, 6 years is a lot, I find it hard to believe that she's completely healed from that, but everyone's timing is different so idk 🤷♀️
I agree and no, there is no way she is healed from her relationship with Joe. She's riding the high of being on tour and the exhilaration of a new relationship. The real healing will come when Matty has lost his appeal and the crowds have all gone home. I just hope she'll be OK coming out the other side of that; it won't be easy.
I also thought about her overcoming her ED. That shit is hard as a regular, never mind a worshipped celebrity. And it’s like a recovering alcoholic, you’re always working on it.
I’m not a full time fan girl at all and am really out of the loop, but I can see a scenario where they broke up awhile ago, like a year ago or whenever she wrote midnights, and they had an agreement to not go public until her tour started because it’s going to be madness anyway and he’s busy filming. Idk just a thought.
In an interview she talked about this is me trying being about addiction, so now i'm feeling like matty could've inspired that song
The way that she discussed it on the long pond sessions with Jack and he was nodding like mmmm-hmmm yessss
@@piinkpantsonfire5220 😂
whenever the swiftologist uploads its an immediate click ✨❤️
Honestly 💋💋💋
Omg same
Me too !!!
Same!!
I mean y’all she was in a relationship where she idolized her partner to the point where she stated multiple times the idea of him leaving her was devastating. Seems to me she realized that she was strong enough to stand on her own and she finally feels like she is free to be who she wants. Matty might be a problematic guy but he’s also really chill and part of a friend group she probably feels accepted in. Seems like she finally let go of that need for everything to be perfect.
It's just sad that Taylor seems to still not have grown out of her white feminism. Laundering white men's bad behavior is not a good look. I mean, this is wild of her and I'm living for the mess but... Idc if he's hot and exciting. Gurl there are a bajillion other people 🙈
I don't think her being devastated at the idea of Joe leaving is something that indicates her relationship with him was partly idolization. Anyone in love would be devastated at the idea of their partner leaving.
Interesting. You make me think.
@@AllTheArtsy white feminism? What do you mean?
@@elizzybec literally that. feminism for white women. white supremacy, in heels.
why are swifties only defining Taylor by who she dates? Suddenly because she's dating Matty Healy she's a horrible person but when she was with Joe she was unproblematic? She is literally her own person. I thought we stopped defining her by who she dates a long time ago, just leave her alone
beacuse MH is a racist and said 'being with TS would have emasculated me in '16. the internet never forgets
Connection formed in my head
Lavender Haze: "Talk your talk and go viral, I just need this love spiral"
That's literally what's going on, everything Matt says goes viral because of what he says and she just wants to be in love with him. Oh my god, could Lavender Haze be a mix of Joe and Matty?
I feel the same with Labyrinth I think that song is about Joe and Matty cause she sings simultaneously about being heartbroken and being in love again
Listen to the album from mastermind to lavender Haze 😁
as a person who broke up with their long term partner last september when midnights came out, i kneeeew something was off lmaoo😭 plus i did go through the same phase where i immediately started dating again and i truly was the happiest after so… it’s just the “post breakup dating/life changes” phase
Why did you break up??? Ive been thinking bout a breakup for a few months and after Midnights im just torn
Basically, um in a King of my hear vs Midnights state of mind
@@ididitoutofspite986 i started to feel like they didn’t care about me anymore, it was like small things at first, then some bigger/life changing things, and then small things again. i felt cornered and unloved, but forced to love? if that makes sense? and then i was like nope and broke up. best decision of my life tbh and if you’re thinking about breaking up, something might be off, so think about it tbh
@@milas333 your comment kinda made me more torn. There's nothing global, but I'm already a head ahead (ha) of my partner and I need to go, I want to study in a different city(sadly, I can't leave the country since I'm Russian and, well, there's basically no way) and I need more help in daily chores since I ovework/have family needs/shop and cook(and earn more) and a good fuck just isn't cutting it for me
I'm 24, lost and feeling stupid honestly
@@ididitoutofspite986 omg nooo, i would for suuure advise you to break up!! after some time the lack of help in all aspects of your life from him will reflect on everything, sex, love, affection, etc. also, i can only imagine how stuck you must be feeling, i can barely see my friends who are studying in russia right now :(
@@milas333 ooh, you have friends here? I might see them on your behalf haha
My bf helps, but I have to ask for it. Hr only brought me flowers when he fucked up and such(in contrast - me and my friends gift each other flowers just because). I've spent the Ny with my friends, I've spent my bd with them.
I'm basically a maid and a glory hole, that's what it feels like sometimes
I used to get so worried when she would get into drama. Like I didn’t want ANYONE to hate her. But now I’m just like eh I need popcorn for this 😂
Zach, way to put it all together THESE CRIMES! How dare she use Question!! Keep in mind the timeline 2021-2022 when she was writing Midnights with JAck, MAtty was writing his album with Jack at the exact same time. And during that time, Matty and Taylor worked on songs for Midnights.... so they were interacting back then at least on a friendship and collaborative level. Don't forget 6/9 opening acts have connections to MATTY, and she had to have planned that back in August 2022, and he planned his tour break around the Phoebe dates in May. I don't think she cheated. But, I think he has loved her and when things went south with Joe, and the cheating rumors, the "this is about how to propose, its not that hard" and "how to apologize is all they have to do", she reached for Matty who was there with open arms, who had loved her for ages. This Joe thing is turning into some tea, there are RUMORS surrounding the RUMORS about him.
Listen to Me and You Together Song by the 1975. Related to your theory.
@@boogermaiden I’m planning on listening to their discog starting probably in July.
The Swiftologist has been working overtime these past weeks… almost as much as Tree Paine. Let us pray for both of them 🙏

Agreed
It’s offensive to say that
@@Justrachelll shut up. It’s a joke
Thank you for keeping us SANE girlies fed because Twitter and reddit are in shambles and I don’t wanna be there rn
This
Twitter and Reddit were already in shambles to begin with. I don't vibe with their incel energies. lol
I've had a theory about Question...? being about Matty Healy. Life took them in opposite directions so while there was not a ton of intense pining or back and forth, the seed of connection was planted in her:
Unlike other sassy Taylor songs, she doesn’t seem to be particularly angry at this person. There is actually a lot of tenderness to this because she is prefacing it as “Can I ask you a question?” Instead of something like “I forgot that you existed.” Lol.
“But one thing after another
Lost in situations, circumstances
Miscommunications and I
Have to say
By the way
I just may like some explanations”
Basically, all the scenarios she’s singing about have to do with things that happened:
- They kissed in front of his friends and it was handled in an immature way (they laughed at him)
- He took off in the middle of the night when they spent the night together
- He retreated and pulled away and that was the end of it
The way she repeats this so many times is like teasing him for his behavior:
“Can I ask you a question?
Did you ever have someone kiss you in a crowded room
And every single one of your friends was
Making fun of you
But fifteen seconds later they were clapping too?
Then what did you do?”
Reasons to think it’s Matty Healy:
“sad boy” (self-explanatory lol)
“But you were on something
It was one drink after another” (Matty’s drug problem)
“Caught in politics and gender-roles” (things Matty Healy sings about a lot)
Basically, it’s all left as gentle and almost playful questions and she “just may like some explanations”
Taylor Swift works hard but Switologist works harder and omg you almost have 30k subscribers it's nice to see so many swiftologists!!
❤️❤️❤️
we study this subject and our professor feeds us really well
I hear a lot of people judging her for jumping into a relationship so quickly after a long/serious one. First of all, we don't even know the exact details and when things switched off. Just because we heard Taylor & Joe broke up in April, doesn't mean they did and it doesn't mean she was happy till the end. I can absolutely relate to what she is going through. I was involved in a 4 1/2 year relationship where I lived with the person. They treated me poorly for the last year and I was too afraid to start over. I mourned that relationship while being in it. I knew it had to end. By the time, I moved out, I was over the relationship. I was excited to start over and was out and about. Within 3 months, I met a new man. We are married and have been together almost 10 yrs. I'm not saying Joe did anything negative but I'm just saying it's not always as easy to say "how can you move on so quick after a long intense relationship."
I did the same after being married to a guy for 17 years. 7 of those last years neither of us cared about the other. Like at all. It was a huge waste of my time.
My situation was the same.
Im kind of in this situation right now? We're fighting(again) and this was a stupid reason. This time i realised that everytime he's pissed he does the thing that my mother did - he stops talking to me(even a "bless you" whe i sneeze is out of question). Finnier wven, he knew ive survived this kind of treatment for 23 years of my life, its all a stupid game for me
Now, im just fed up with this
Im always punished for stopping up for myself or talking back
It's like my childhood all over ahain but the thing is he's no one for me, he isn't a parent im obligated to tolerate
Also, this is such a massive turn off(partially because of similarity with my mom), and i know he's scared of that and is deeply hurt
I can see us making up and going as we were but i don't look forward to repeating this time and time again
I was so confused because not even a month ago she sang “A place in this world” and mentioned that she relates to this song more now than she did 20 years ago. I dont think of that as I’m in a “happy” phase more like lost and confused…So her saying she is the happiest she’s ever been threw me off but hearing your logic and reasoning makes total sense to me. Im glad she doesn’t care what people think of her now and is doing her own thing. I’m living for this Taylor Swift craziness era 😆
I kind of get it. With Joe, she was happy, but at the expense of the rest of her life. The only way to keep that happiness with him was to sacrifice a pretty big part of her that he didn’t like 🤷🏻♀️
@@MayaLove777idk I thought lavender haze was a happy song. I can’t see it as a negative song. And I’m pretty sure happiness is about her best friend Abigail and her divorce from her husband. They were together for 7 years
during the death of her reputation, it was just and right to hide but now that she's on top of the game they couldn't live on their lil bubble anymore. i hope joseph didn't cage her or felt insecurity cuz he kinda flop🫣 and taylor is always meant to be a superstar
@@kellye.5678 The first verse is very telling, "staring at the ceiling with you you don't ever say too much and you don't ever read into my melancholia," which is saying that the person Taylor is referring to in the song was very withdrawn and uninterested in speaking with her about how she was feeling. And then the part where it says, "they're bringing up my history but you aren't even listening," is saying that Joe didn't care about what Taylor had to say about how the media was affecting her in bringing up her history. Like that song is about a person who is disinterested in you and doesn't take the time to listen to you or talk about how you're feeling.
I get it too. Just means they weren’t right for each other. He was good for her when she was broken and isolated. The relationship ran its course. It happens.
She also sang you’re not sorry very intensely
When I watched that video I was like whoa Joe did something bad
Im not here for matty healy, but i AM AAALLLLLL the way here for Taylors chaotic summer fun. Im ready for a Taylor Messy Summer and her just having fun in the whirlwind of it all ❤
I love that you make these videos to parse everything together during this unhinged time. Keep it up please! It's so puzzling to think about when the Joe relationship ended, and I'm not sure I buy that they stayed together publicly so as not to detract from her Midnights album release. Because let's be honest, if she did a breakup announcement anywhere close to an album release, I'm pretty sure everyone would be extra thirsty for tea and she'd reap the benefits. Love your channel!
I agree. Yes, they were "papped" on the street in October, but we also got a couple of very candid bystander shots of them in New Orleans around her birthday in Dec. when he was filming there, and they supposedly put a London mansion under contract for purchase in November. Things definitely could have been rocky for a long time, but I think they were really trying to make it work (or at least not 100% given up) until Jan. or Feb.
Your take on what she was actually saying is exactly what I thought,
I got “shut the fuck up, or fuck off, either way I don’t care, I’ll be fine” vibes.
I’ve seen quite a few people saying that what she said felt like a slap in the face, I believe it was intended to be, and she’s letting them know not to let the door hit them on the way out.
I love how you’re continuing to report on this as a developing story, rather than waiting for all the pieces to 100% fall together. It’s so interesting to be able to look back on videos from 6 months ago and see where we were completely off the scent and where you had moments of absolute clairvoyance. I can’t wait to revisit all this in hindsight, especially once we have another original album from Taylor, when EOS covers 2023… 😋🍽️
the thing about taylor is that it’s never really over with her. right now we are recontextualizing so many things in her discography due to her public narrative. and the day her narrative is over will be the day her full autobiography gets published after she’s dead, evelyn hugo style. and she will do things in the future where we look bacl at this particular moment and think ‚maybe matty healy never made her happy and they were really just teasing this collab they published in 2024 and this was merely her trying to cool people off.‘ (this is going to be interesting to return to in 10 years, let’s see how this ages) but that’s the fun thing that has so many of us strung around her fingers.
Having soooo much fun doing it for all the snakes ❤️
And here we are again 😆
I was in the stadium when she sang Begin Again and Cold As You. After that I was just thinking “wtf happened between Taylor and Joe?”
When she was signing “should’ve said no”, the part that she says “was she worth it?” She shook her head and everybody laughed! That was sooo telling!
matty healy also worked with taylor for songs on midnights that didn't end up being released .... so maybe during 2022 when things with joe were going downhill she realised she and matty still had chemistry and wrote the wild shit like question and the 'when i meet the band' lyric in bejeweled
It is astounding to me that people are so disrespectful about her expressing happiness during this season of her life because of their own misperceptions about her and her relationship with Joe. She loved him but there was good reason for them to finally end their relationship. Long-term, they wanted different things and grew in different directions. And that's okay. It is so disrespectful to me to characterize her as losing her mind when she's actually just finding herself and enjoying a new season in her life. Her relationship with Joe ended privately long before it was made public. She did her grieving and moved on. And that's okay. I think that most of everybody being dismayed about it has to do with them being disappointed that their projections of who she was and what was going on in her life did not match the reality. And that's okay too.
Really appreciate your dedication to keeping us updated on the tea, I want you to know that it is greatly appreciated! Like you said it’s fun, it’s sport, it’s March madness and I am here for it all with the help of your commentary! 😄 Hope you have a lovely time visiting your family!
❤️❤️❤️ thank you!
I have been telling my swiftie friends that the one is about matty since she dedicated cardigan to him. I felt crazy for almost thinking that they began rekindling a connection during the folklore era but I’m glad you saw it too
They were both at the NME 2020 in February, which was about a month before the lockdowns (at least in the US. I imagine it was similar for other countries) so my fan theory is that it started there. Which would makes sense if he was an inspiration for sure
Ok i will say i called that Question…? Was about matty in a past video comment. The “half moon eyes” (Matty always has those, they are a defining feature) and “suitable and right” (FKA Twigs is an obvious coupling for Matty, they dated for 2 years) really say it all for me.
Also, going off what you said about her change of heart when it comes to the morality of cheating - when I heard “Ivy” I was pretty shook. Like that song made everyone want to cheat.
Also it would make sense for her to write that song given she was working with Matt on Midnights, which maybe brought up again the feelings she had for him. For all we know she hasn't really hung out with Harry other than speaking for a bit at The Grammys
apparently matty was at the show, in the guest suite, and she looked up there a few times in the song (ex. politics and gender roles, meteor strike)
I also called this . “The half moon eyes” is so Matty ❤
Sanity at last! I think the loud voices are primarily really young people who don't have a clue how attraction works IRL. I actually did some homework on this guy and have now watched multiple interviews. He is NOT the demon he is being made out to be. As for the moralizing of his values that is such BS and mostly I think masks the fact that they are pissed he isn't Disney prince material like Joe Alwyn. You know what else he isn't? Boring. I've now also seen countless TikTok's of him singing and dancing and enjoying Taylor's performances and looking thoroughly smitten. Which is an enormous change from Joe's attitude. I think Matty shares some of Taylor's neurosis as well and it can be a heady thing to find someone who can connect along that line. Is it stable? Probably not, but if you never bleed your never gonna grow.
I have also seen clips of Taylor greeting and hugging Matty back in 2020 at the NME awards. So it's not like they never run into each other.
I agree Clash Fan, if everyone calmed down and looked beyond the click-bait headlines they would understand that Matty is fundamentally a really decent guy and so creatively talented also. They have been friends for 10 years, that is a good foundation, and if both he and TS have matured they are actually a great match.
I also think Halsey really described him well in her song 'Colors', when she was lamenting the end of their relationship. She described him as 'You're ripped at every edge but you're a masterpiece'.
That sums him up perfectly, he is a gem of a person (charismatic, talented, exciting, likeable and fun), he just needs to steady himself and realise that a LOT of people don't get the edge lord, British humour, unfortunately it is taken literally by the general public and generates negative publicity. In Europe and in The 1975 fandom we take it with a pinch of salt and roll our eyes when he goes too far, as he usually (too late) realises that he has put his foot in his mouth *again*, but he is sincere when he apologies for stupid shit. Plus, obviously their common friend groups get him, because I don't see Ryan Reynolds/Blake Lively or TS family etc giving Matty public approval and sharing time with him if they didn't like him
@@jerlong4422 I wasn’t familiar with The 1975 other than that they are a band. Finding out they are a Manchester band made me understand the edge lord stuff. Morrissey is the OG edge lord after all. 🤣 One thing that also says a lot is that the band members are all friends and have actually managed to maintain that friendship. Hard to do even without the pressure of fame.
@@clashfan2875 Yes, they started out at 13 years old and are still together 20 years later, plus as four blokes they opening discuss how much they love and care for each other. That type of long-term friendship means something in this day and age.
Plus another thing that people don't realise is that Matty is the song-writer and George the producer within the band. The other two band-member don't take part in the creative process per se. So for publishing rights, it should largely just be Matty and George, for example like Lennon and McCarthy in The Beatles. BUT Matty insisted early on that the four of them were a unit as a band, and they share out the money equally between the four of them, because they value the other two as equal band-members. That is a lot of money, and it shows how fundamentally decent he is.
Please give him a chance, he is a genius artistically and lyrically, he definitely goes to far sometimes, but fundamentally decent person.
I see that she's happy despite the chaos, she is now a free woman. not hiding from good girl persona, she doesn't care about how people percieve her. There's a lot of reasons for her to be happy. Her mom's looking great, friends are supportive, her career is in another level now, honeymoon phase and she's in IDGAF era🥰🥰
she’s so fucking crazy i love her lmfao she just said fuck the turkey, fuck the media and i love my life! and good for her
I’ve literally developed insomnia based on how unhinged the experience of being a Swiftie is right now. No one in my life understands thank goodness for the Swiftologist!!
I thought it was just me!!!
@@gurleenkaur5331 nope I never had insomnia before and now there are nights I lie awake and can’t stop thinking about the craziness 🤪
@@michelleyourbelle27 I kinda want to just shut off my social media and put like some kind of locker on RUclips so that I don't get anymore of Matty Healy or Joe Alwyn or Taylor shades her ex in this performance news. And just when I decide I'm gonna do something she announces a new song, and probably hits different coming on spotify and another MV, another remix collab. A deluxe late night midnight album.
personally i think taylor should play i did something bad at the next show. clearly people don’t like her new relationship, so i think she should have some fun with that.
Damn, that'd be perfect
How can anyone hate her for dating who she wants and who makes her happy! We aren’t the ones dating Matty so let the girl be happy and date who she wants. She isn’t married yet and she can explore any relationship she wants. Let her find her one without creating drama for her.
When she sang question last night I literally gasped because she sang it on the one year anniversary of Harry’s house. Now this can still be for Matty but that’s was so unhinged because why that specific day
this might be an unpopular opinion but I don't think matty is just a rebound. I think the fact that they worked on songs together for midnights and were in the studio again earlier this year suggests that they've been in contact for a while and probably developed a friendship before they started dating. they also run in the same circles and have a lot of mutual friends. they even wrote songs about each other on their most recent albums so there are clearly unresolved feelings there as well. I don't think taylor sees him as just 'some guy' she's hooking up with. moreover they must really really like each other to go through with this relationship knowing it would get a lot of negative media attention. I mean matty literally deleted his entire social media presence before they announced the relationship. they clearly knew there would be backlash. so even if it doesn't work out in the end, I get the vibe that they're both pretty serious about each other at the moment
Honestly I agree. I don’t know if it will last at all, BUT it does make a lot of sense for all the reasons you mentioned. And all of his public support of her has made me happy bc it’s the polar opposite of Joe
Ive always thought Midnight Rain sounded like a The 1975 song. I even thought that it will sound better if a male singer would sing the chorus-I exactly had Matty in mind. Insane.
What songs do you mean?
You were spot on
I can almost guarantee that Matty wrote Oh Caroline as well as About You, for Taylor. You guys have got to watch his performance in Manila night 2 of Oh Caroline that he sang before flying to meet up with her. It’s incredible, so much passion and emotion.
You’re providing such a valuable service to us all 🙏🏽
The "Eras Era" is going to go down as the most chaotic Era ever!!!
Taylor is just living her life without saying anything during the peak of her career and it is giving me life!!! I am here for it.
Ok as a woman whose felt this ( at some point lol It didn’t last long ) I so GET this! And you should be happy for her! She’s in her 30s now and sooo much is different for her . She really looks like she’s finally letting her hair hang down! She’s hit her goals and now? Now she’s just LIVING…I’m so loving her now!
Growing rapidly so well-deserved ❤❤ I am a new Swiftologist Stan, I have laughed so hard so much watching these vids, the deadpan humor is priceless
Same same 😂😂😂😂love it ..
The rooster in the background while talking about the heirloom turkey is giving me lifeeeee
She really said to joe “when I’m away from you I’m happier than ever”
Wellllll that instagram post with the new version of the albums has me THINKING. You’ve given us so much content but I’m greedy and I hope you address it
Dropping everything I was doing to push play. So excited for this. Every time something happens in the Swiftieverse I want to hear from you so bad.
And you always will !!
“To be honest Joe get in line, we were all distraught” LMAOOOO 😂 FOR REAL !
Just want to say I love your videos and so glad I found your channel in the midst of all the chaos. I love the critical take on everything!!
Amazing video. The 1975 played Question... before their concert started, I guess was back in November 2022.
I like when Matty said "ERAS" like three times and then announced that the ERA of him being an asshole is coming to an end. It's cute.
Have you heard about some Swifties who want Taylor to be in a conservatorship? I am very glad this channel exists cuz I hate how pearl-clutching the Swifties are getting.
thats actually frightening
That's a reach....
After what happened to Britney, I can't imagine making that leap. Conservatorships are clearly nothing to take lightly.
Those are not fans.
They are emotionally deregulated and immature people, who probably drifted to TS bc Lady Gaga isn't doing anything atm.
She’s actually the last celebrity who needs that lol
I live for you calling Joe the heirloom turkey lmao you’re freaking hilarious. “She’s on one, she’s lost her damn mind, and I’m ready to see.” Lol me too. I’m sitting back eating my popcorn. Love your content, thank you ❤
Oh, man - I felt like my entire life finally made sense when I fell crazy in love once. I moved country, occupation, etc etc. Hope it works out a lot better for T.
Matty apparently said he and Taylor collabed on Midnights but that it didn’t get included on the album. Would love to hear more about that.
it's the Matty effect❤️❤️❤️ I think he really really loves her
I must confess I am not a Swiftie, but I was a huge fan of the TV show "LOST" back in the day. Somehow you have managed to turn Taylor Swift into an equivalent of that show. I am now becoming very interested in the mystery and intrigue within this woman's life as per your own mesmerizing narration of events.
Taylor Swift's love life is now on par with the greatest mysteries of all time. How Taylor Swift ended-up with Matty Healy is like asking how the pyramids were built? We are presented with this great unsolved enigma complete with clues that span a discography a decade in the making.
Your naming songs I do not know the words to, but it doesn't matter... I'm still absolutely captivated by your archaeology and careful curation of all things Taylor Swift.
Taylor Swift really is the ultimate TV show. It's got story arcs, mysteries, heroes, villains, fan service, cliffhangers, distinct seasons, recurring characters and an insane fandom producing a gratuitous amount of fan fics and shipping. Everything a great TV show has, except it's all real life and it's been running for 17 years. We are entertained.
Oh honey, love you! You are so perceptive and it all makes sense. Thank you for your reporting. Without you I would be so lost on Taylor news.
i cant remember where i saw but im pretty sure this made its rounds on deuxmoi, but apparently after the 1975 show ended taylor and matty just stayed in the green room until 4 am just talking
the only taylor swift matty healy updates i want to hear are from you lol so glad you posted another!! 🙌🏻
I WAS THERE and despite all the drama and chaos, it was so good to hear how happy she sounds
I strongly believe Joe did her wrong. Whatever it was. I was at her Houston show and when she sang You’re not Sorry for the first time in like a decade it clicked. No matter how fast she falls in love or how “petty” she can get, Taylor would NOT disrespect her relationship with Joe for what she painted it to be if he didn’t majorly f up. All these surprise songs point to a betrayal. Her friends unfollowing him. Her rubbing it all in his face. It wasn’t an amicable breakup. Everyone thought Joe was wonderful because of how SHE depicted him in her songs, he’s too private himself for us to really know him. She clearly praised someone who never gave her that praise back. She was talking because she was in love. There’s no way a man in love would avoid every chance to speak about his amazing girlfriend of many years. He probably enjoyed her company, enjoyed dating Taylor Swift (in one of his earlier interviews he’s so amazed he met Kristen Stewart). Maybe he wasn’t all that about her. She was in love and she put him in the light she wanted to see him in. But that time is up. He did something bad.
I’ll add from personal experience. I too praised a long term boyfriend to everyone because I was in love and wanted others to love him. Until I learned he was cheating on me for weeks, maybe months. Boy did my story about him change quickly and publicly :)
Exactly, we saw him through love colored eyes. Every time I ever saw him on an interview it was like, “Taylor who?”
Exactly!
And Matty has been making it a point to tell the world that he loves, has written songs about her...even when they were with other people he wanted her to know he respects her and admires her genius. That's definitely something that I don't think Joe did as much.
After about let's say 4-5 years, one should be comfortable enough to praise your partner in public, and i don't think he was being coy when he didn't.
i feel like the ‘i remember’ at the beginning of Question may just be a call back to the 1989 era rather than the ootw specifically… i was a Question=Harry truther but now with the Matty context the lyrics make so much more sense 🫢
Just saying: this is the perfect time for her to release "crazier (taylor's version)" as a single.
She trully is going with the wind, letting it take her where it wants to go, and she's trully getting crazier, crazier, crazier, uh-hun. Maybe another set of four single with You'll always find your way back home (taylor's version)+Crazier (Taylor's Version)+Need+ Hits Different hitting streaming music platforms? It would make a whole lotta sense and I'd be sooo happy because Crazier is one of my favorite songs ever and I know she doesn't really need to release it as a TV, but I'd love to hear it in her current vocals.
Realistically speaking I think she's just grieving all that she lost. She lost six years worth of time and effort, she lost the future she once thought she had with him, the person she thought she was going to become and many more things. She might want to make a point that she's never been happier to counteract her grief (which a completely normal part of a break up) but nevertheless it's a lot to deal for anyone and especially with such a public and scrutinized life.
I love how you tell us you are here to help us process everything. 😂 literally why I watch your channel.
Honestly Zach, I don't know what's going on, but I really hope I live long enough to read Taylor's tell-all memoir in 30 years. She owes us at this point...😅
I feel like Matty and Taylor are endgame or just a phase. i could see where they are just temporary and don't last long or they completely surprise us all and announce a marriage
The green background really makes your eyes pop! Great video as always
I've been thinking Question must be about Matty for a bunch of reason too. My tin foil hat theory is that "you painted all my nights a color I've searched for since" is proof it's about Matty Healy. I think it's a reference to the Halsey song "Colors" which is about him too
When she said she is the happiest she has ever been. I thought to myself that is a subtle nudge telling everyone who is talking negatively about her and Matty to Shut the F*** up! She is happy and I don’t think she cares people are commenting on them. She truly has grown personal to not let the haters get to her hopefully 🤞🏻
She is a real person and her mental health can go down hill by other’s comments or behaviour just like us! I hope she stays strong and happy always 💖
"She's out there fa-la-la-la-laing while the world crumbles around her." This one legit made me laugh out loud! :D God bless her heart, she really seems in a state of sorts, doesn't she?
Don’t know what we’d do without you KING. Thanks for serving us with all these emergency conferences- thank you for your service! 😂
I'm happy taylor is starting to loosen up from her perfect image and just be free I guess since she's in her 30s now maybe she's more confident and she's had such a dedicated fan base for almost 2 decades maybe she finally realized how unstoppable she really is which us fans have know forever but she never did like in miss americana
Watching these videos it’s like hearing the lyrics of TTPD being played out by you in real time. Example you pretty much nailed the scenarios in “Fresh Out the Slammer” and “But Daddy I Love Him.”
ive loved taylor since i was a kid, but since im just 17, this is the first time i’m truly experiencing the mess of taylor. i’ve gotta say, as long as she’s happy, i’m happy to. i’m enjoying it sm!
as someone who experienced a lot of cancelled taylor, trust me, we will pull this another messy era.
Before watching the video I have to say: Listening to Glitch after all of this is crazy, but listening to Question is even more unhinged as well
Let’s talk about how she did put her heart, soul, and probably her genealogical tree in singing You’re not sorry
I literally gasped and my heart jumped into my throat the first time the words "you're not sorry" venomously spewed from her mouth. "I don't believe you baby like I did before" and "this is the last straw, don't want to hurt anymore" shot daggers as well. That was the moment I knew, there was more to this "non-dramatic, amicable" storyline.
@@madwoman_at.thelakes omg yes exactly! I couldn’t say it better
Wow! I’m gonna have to listen to that song again!
Can you tell me which show you’re talking about? Thanks x
@@tanishapandey__9786 of course, it was the first night at Houston, Texas . April 21
Maybe Matty Healy has grown up? I think they have always wanted to be together. Taylor and Matty are like music royalty! I have always wanted them together! ❤ 🤴 👸🏼 ❤🎉😊
I agree, Matty is fundamentally a really decent guy and so creatively talented also, if both he and TS have matured they are actually a great match.
I also think Halsey really described him well in her song 'Colors', when she was lamenting the end of their relationship. She described him as 'You're ripped at every edge but you're a masterpiece'. That sums him up perfectly, he is a gem of a person (charismatic, talented, exciting, likeable and fun), he just needs to steady himself and realise that a lot of people don't get the edge lord, British humour, it is taken literally by the general public and generates negative publicity. In Europe and in The 1975 fandom we take it with a pinch of salt and roll our eyes when he goes too far, as he usually (too late) realises that he has put his foot in his mouth, but he is sincere when he apologies for shit. Plus, obviously their common friend groups get him, because I don't see Ryan Reynolds/Blake Lively etc giving Matty public approval and sharing time with him if they didn't like him.
@@jerlong4422 Well damn. Halsey is quite good in the pen game too.
International swifties here🎉
I just want to say that i really love your elaboration and how mature you are despite all the chaos😅
As a 1975 and Tay fan myself, i think there's zero correlation between LOVING their music and their personal life. Although if the truth is the both ot them really having a romantic or any kinda whatever-ship together, what i could do is just sit and watch them happy and messing things up naturally. 🥰
same, blondie is one of the people who influenced me to listen to 1975 and i love the band since 2013/14. I think harry is the one who introduced the band to taylor because he's a huge fan and both him and matty are from cheshire (he's always in the crime scene)
@@uchiha5531 ikr... so i think there's no harm to just let them be chaotic once in a while. they're have been productive as hell anyway. Tay is keep performing 3days back to back show every single week. And 1975 gonna be back on tour soon.
i'm taking bets on when joe alwyn will destroy his car door
