Matty Healy References Taylor Swift During Glastonbury Performance

At the 2025 Glastonbury Festival, Matty Healy, frontman of The 1975, appeared to take a veiled swipe at his ex Taylor Swift during a headlining set. Healy sarcastically called himself "the best songwriter of his generation" and a "generational wordsmith," remarks widely interpreted as a jab at Swift's 2024 album, The Tortured Poets Department, which is believed to reference their brief relationship in 2023. The band performed their song "Chocolate," which includes lyrics that seemed to echo lines from Swift's album, further fueling speculation. Fans also noted Healy's jacket pin featuring Peter Pan, a character linked to both Healy and a Swift song called "Peter," reinforcing the connection. Since their split, Swift has been with Travis Kelce while Healy got engaged to model Gabbriette Bechtel in 2024. Toward the end of his set, Healy was seen emotionally overwhelmed, bringing a deeply personal and intense atmosphere to the performance.
