Not bad blood! Matty Healy, Taylor Swift’s ex, appears to be giving a bizarre apology on stage… days after the pair split
1975’s Matty Healy knows all too well that he came out of his short-lived romance with Taylor Swift as the anti-hero.
And the musician, 34, appeared on stage to apologize at his band’s stop in Dublin, Ireland, on Wednesday night – two days after his romance with Swift ended.
Matty performed a solo acoustic set before the full band took the stage and asked the audience a question.
He grabbed a can of black spray paint and scribbled “Sorry?” in giant letters on a white background as his bandmate Jamie Squire sang a cover of Leon Russell’s A Song For You.
Swift and the rocker’s romance was revealed in May amid speculation they had been dating for weeks – but a friend close to the star confirmed Taylor was “single” again on Monday.

Later in the evening, Matty tried to shake it off with several pints of Guinness, waving the pint at the crowd and saying, “It’s not even normal, it’s just because it tastes so good.”
“But you drink so much of it like it’s some kind of milk that you forget the songs, so I came in at the wrong time,” he continued.
“I thought it was pretty dramatic too, I came over here and it was all eye contact and just a guy,” he said slurredly.
According to Matty, he stumbled across the stage to the concern of his bandmates George Daniel and Adam Hann The sun.
While Taylor hasn’t spoken about the breakup, she gave a very emotional performance at her show in Chicago this weekend and nearly burst into tears when her voice began to break during a piano version of “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever,” a emotional farewell song.
“Wondering if I dodged a bullet, or just lost the love of my life?” Swift sang as her mouth seemed to quiver with emotion.
