Taylor Swift 'Shocked' Ex Matty Healy Is 'Already Engaged'; Questions If He 'Was Ever Really Into Her': Report
Taylor Swift is happy with her love life, but she is reportedly surprised after learning that her ex-boyfriend, Matty Healy, is already engaged.
There is no question that Swift has moved on from Healy with her boyfriend, Travis Kelce. However, the "Anti-Hero" singer was allegedly "shocked" when she heard that the English singer had already proposed to his now-fiancée Gabbriette Bechtel.
"Taylor wasn't surprised to hear that Matty was seriously dating someone, I mean, so was she, but she was shocked to learn that he was already engaged," an unnamed source told Life & Style. "She's happily moved on to Travis and couldn't be happier, but a little part of her questions if Matty was ever really into her."
The 1975 frontman and "Cruel Summer" hitmaker briefly dated in 2014. They got back together in 2023 after her breakup with Joe Alwyn. Healy was seen multiple times at her "The Eras Tour" concerts. Their romance made headlines on May 3 but fizzled a month later.
Fans were convinced that Healy was among the inspirations for Swift's newest album, "The Tortured Poets Department." They believed that the song "The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived" was about him as it hinted how he allegedly ghosted Swift.
"You tried to buy some pills / From a friend of friends of mine / They just ghosted you / Now you know what it feels like," Swift sings in the first verse of the song.
Healy's ex-girlfriend, Meredith Mickelson, was also allegedly ghosted by Healy when he got together with Swift last year. Mickelson shared a screenshot of an exchange with one friend named Daniel following the release of "TTPD." The conversation was dated May 12, 2023, and Daniel was comforting her.

"This to [sic] shall pass. Just remember [to] distract [yourself]. Go to a movie tonight or something," he told her.
The exchange reportedly happened on the same day Healy was spotted at Swift's concert in Philadelphia. He was also previously seen at her concert in Nashville.
Mickelson was reportedly blindsided when he ended their romance in March 2023, just weeks after he spent time with Swift in a recording studio in February 2023.
Meanwhile, Healy's mom, Denise Welch, confirmed his engagement to the rat mom on ITV's "Loose Women." She also expressed her support for her son and future daughter-in-law.
"I woke up this morning to the fact that they put it on Instagram," Welch said, per Vulture. "I couldn't be more thrilled. She is from Los Angeles, she is absolutely gorgeous, she does have a rat. We couldn't be happier; she is everything that I would want in a daughter-in-law."
