Taylor Swift affirms split from Matty Healy after his controversial feud with Azealia Banks

Taylor Swift has reaffirmed her decision to part ways with Matty Healy, lead singer of The 1975, following his controversial feud with rapper Azealia Banks.

Sources close to Swift say the escalating drama has further validated her decision to move on after her relationship with Healy earlier this year.

The feud began when Healy defended his bandmate George Daniel’s fiancée, Charli XCX, after Banks criticized her appearance online. What started as a heated exchange quickly escalated, with Healy threatening physical violence toward Banks, saying, “Talk to me like that I’m not gonna side eye you at an awards do, I’ll f***ing slap you so hard I’ll get a Guinness world record.”

The backlash against Healy's remarks has been swift, and insiders revealed Swift was "shocked" by his behavior. Speaking to DailyMail.com, a source stated, “Taylor is disappointed by Matty's recent behavior. It reaffirms that moving on was the right decision.”

Swift, who dated Healy briefly after her split from Joe Alwyn, has reportedly cut all ties with him. Another insider shared, “She has known Matty a long time but is no longer in communication with him. Threatening violence against anyone is unacceptable.”

Healy has since apologized, acknowledging his impulsive actions: “I just feel dreadful about how I acted violent.” Despite his apology, the fallout continues to raise concerns about the volatile nature of online discourse.
