Taylor Swift’s ex Matty Healy seemingly drags pop star during Glastonbury set

UK singer Matty Healy appeared to make a dig at his high-profile ex Taylor Swift during his set at the Glastonbury festival.

Taylor Swift’s ex-boyfriend Matty Healy appeared to drag the pop star while performing at the Glastonbury Festival in England.

The 1975 frontman took a moment to address the crowd at Worthy Farm in Somerset on Friday night, saying, “What this moment is making me realise is that I probably am the best,” per a video posted on Variety’s X account.

“I’m probably the best songwriter of my generation,” he continued while raising a glass of beer. “The best, what do we say — a poet — ladies and gentlemen, is what I am.”

Healy, 36, indirectly appeared to be talking about Swift’s 2024 album, The Tortured Poets Department, which is believed to contain several brutal nods to the rocker.

The star further bragged that he was a “generational wordsmith.”

A fan in the background of the clip joked that Healy was hinting at the pop superstar’s album.

Healy and Swift, 35, dated briefly for a month from May to June 2023, following the latter’s split from Joe Alwyn.

During their short-lived romance, the duo were inseparable, with the crooner attending several of the Grammy winner’s sold-out Eras Tour concerts.

They were also often spotted in New York City, including at the Electric Lady recording studio.

Page Six also learned that Swift and Healy were caught packing on the PDA at Casa Cipriani while out with Jack Antonoff and Margaret Qualley.

When the duo split, an insider told Entertainment Tonight that it was due to incompatibility and scheduling issues.

When Swift released TTPD in April 2024, fans were surprised to discover much of the searing album was about her relationship with Healy as opposed to Alwyn, the latter of whom she was with for six years.

It was rumoured that she wrote the album’s title track, Guilty As Sin, Down Bad, Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus, The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived and I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can) about Healy.

A source told Us Weekly that Healy was “blindsided” by the album.

Swift moved on with boyfriend Travis Kelce over the summer of 2024, and they’ve been going strong ever since.

Healy, meanwhile, got engaged to model Gabbriette Bechtel in June 2024.
