Matty Healy and Taylor Swift‘s musical story still has pages to come, according to a report by U.K. tabloid The Sun. The 1975‘s next album, possibly titled God Has Entered My Body and maybe with a track of the same name, has lyrics that an unnamed “insider” believes to be about the pair’s public romance in 2023.
Just one alleged line was published in the report Saturday night (Jan. 18): “Keep your head up, princess, your tiara is falling.”
The Sun quotes its source as saying “everyone at the studio,” presumably during a 1975 recording session, thought “God Has Entered My Body” addresses Healy and Swift’s relationship and how it fared amid fame. The purported insider tells the publication, “Matty will never publicly comment on his relationships, but he lets his deepest feelings out in his songs and gets everything off his chest.”
Healy is not doing press at this time and is not currently active on social media, but he does have a verified account on Reddit from which he occasionally interacts with fans of The 1975.
In a discussion on The 1975 subreddit on Sunday showing an article that cites The Sun‘s initial report, Healy chimed in among the murmurs about his supposedly Swift-inspired song.
“Huge if true,” quipped Healy.
As fans point out, The 1975 frontman captioned an unarchived Instagram post from 2021 with “Keep your head up, princess, your tiara is falling.” It’s one of only four posts presently on his Instagram grid. Another studio snapshot from 2024 has the caption “GHEMB,” an acronym for “God Has Entered My Body” that Healy’s used before.
In November, Healy shared what looked to be a working track list in a now-deleted post on X (formerly Twitter). While he made a joke there (“This is my ‘names for our children’ folder”), in a Reddit thread he commented, “Nah it’s real tracklist.” Among the 13 song titles listed were “Alone Together,” “Give Us Back Our Present,” “Commercials in a Hotel Room,” “EVERYTHINGAMAZINGNOBODYHAPPY,” “Pepsi-Cola Addict” and “Naked When You Found Her.” “God Has Entered My Body” was not on that particular list.
The 1975’s next full-length release will be their sixth studio album, and the follow-up to 2022’s Being Funny in a Foreign Language, which was co-produced by Jack Antonoff with Healy and bandmate George Daniel. Being Funny debuted in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 albums chart, at No. 7, and reached No. 2 on three others: Top Rock Albums, Top Alternative Albums and Independent Albums.
In 2024, Healy was featured on his friend (and George Daniel’s fiancée) Charli XCX‘s Brat companion album, Brat and It’s Completely Different But Also Still Brat, on the moving song “I Might Say Something Stupid.”
Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department album, for which Healy was an assumed muse, was released in 2024 and finished the year as the most popular album in the U.S., based on music data tracking from Luminate. It earned 6.955 million equivalent album units in 2024 in the U.S. and spent 17 nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
A longtime friend to Healy, Swift surprised fans at The 1975’s concert at the O2 Arena in London in January 2023 when she covered the band’s “The City” and debuted her Midnights single “Anti-Hero” live. They’d known each other since at least 2014, when Swift attended The 1975’s concerts in Los Angeles and New York.
Speculation that they were dating in 2023 came in early May that year. Healy was seen smiling and singing along to her hits from the VIP tent at several shows on The Eras Tour — and even unexpectedly took the Eras stage in a skeleton suit to play guitar with friend/opener Phoebe Bridgers.
Healy and Swift were spotted holding hands at a dinner and leaving the studio together in New York that month, which was as close to a “confirmation” of a relationship as they gave. In the middle of a rainstorm at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass., on May 20, Swift shared with the crowd, “I’ve just never been this happy in my life, in all aspects of my life, ever, and I just want to thank you for being a part of that. It’s not just the tour. I just sort of feel like my life finally feels like it makes sense.” She then said, “So I thought I’d play this song which brings me a lot of happy memories,” and played Midnights track “Question…?” for the first time.
They reportedly split in June 2023.
Healy, who recently said he isn’t interested in making an album about “stuff that was said about me or my casual romantic liaisons,” is now engaged to model Gabbriette Bechtel. Swift is dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
