As you may have noticed Taylor Swift and Matty Healy were photographed holding hands on a date in NYC last night, meaning, yep: They appear to be very much together.
So you can imagine everyone’s reaction when Tay’s close friend Ryan Reynolds went ahead and posted an Instagram Story soundtracked by The 1975’s song “Chocolate.” (In case you can’t imagine, the reaction was full-blown spiraling.)
Plus, there’s this:
Anyway! If those pics of Taylor and Matty in NYC last night weren’t enough proof for you that they’re dating, multiple sources confirmed their relationship earlier this week.
One insider told Us Weekly that they had a “brief” fling “years ago,” and that “they’re looking to give things a second chance.” This source also revealed that Taylor and Matty are “having a good time reconnecting again.” Meanwhile another source told the outlet, “They both respect and admire each other’s talent,” but noted that Taylor “isn’t sure” she’s “ready to commit” to something “so soon” after her split from Joe Alwyn.
And on top of all that, Entertainment Tonight spoke to someone who said “Taylor and Matty like each other. Taylor has a crush on Matty and they are having a good time hanging out. Matty also thinks Taylor is awesome and incredibly talented, too. They dated briefly in the past.”
Anyway! Lot to process here. Please excuse me while I go analyze those Matty and Taylor pics.
