TAYLOR Swift fans have become convinced her ex Matty Healy took a veiled swipe at the star while on stage at Glastonbury.
Frontman Matty appeared with his band The 1975 to headline Glastonbury’s main Pyramid Stage on Friday night – something the singer has long-declared a lifelong goal.

However, during his set, Matty took a moment to seemingly address the elephant in the room: his short-lived relationship with Taylor Swift.
Ahead of their hit song Chocolate, Matty told the audience: “I want to be sincere for a second with everybody.
“What this moment is making me realise is that, and I’m being sincere, I probably am the best. I’m probably the best songwriter of my generation.
“The best, what do we say… A poet, ladies and gentlemen, is what I am. A generational wordsmith.”
Many took the cheeky jab at himself to be a swipe at Taylor Swift’s 2024 album, The Tortured Poets Department, which is long believed to be about their relationship.
Matty and Taylor are believed to have dated from March to May in 2023, before splitting.
In lyrics on the album, Taylor made several allusions to a mystery man who broke her heard, at one point saying he “smoked then ate seven bars of chocolate”.
The titular track also refers to the man using a typewriter – which Matty has gone on record to using.
Seeming to confirm he was the man behind the songs, Matty finished his speech on the stage at Glastonbury by “reminding people of his poetry” by going into their song Chocolate.
He further mocked himself and the song’s non-sensical lyrics by having jumbled subtitles play overhead as they played.
Since Matty and Taylor’s split, both have gone to have long-term relationships.
Matty is now engaged to model Gabbriette, with the pair sharing the news in June 2024.
Gabbriette was at the festival, cheering Matty on alongside his mother Denise Welch.
Taylor Swift has been in a relationship with NFL player Travis Kelce since September 2023.
