Matt Healy throws Taylor Swift relationship rumors in doubt as he kisses Phoebe Bridgers on stage

Phoebe Bridgers kissed Matty Healy during her set at Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour show.

Bridgers opened for Swift at Texas’ Nissan Stadium on Saturday night (May 6) and was accompanied by The 1975 frontman Healy on guitar - in a skeleton suit.

During the performance, Bridgers rushed up to Healy and appeared to plant a kiss on his cheek.

As you may have seen, Healy and Swift have recently been rumoured to have started a relationship following her reported split with Joe Alwyn.

According to a front page splash in the Sun, an anonymous source revealed that the musicians were ‘madly in love’ and although it was ‘super early days’ between them, it ‘felt right’.

The duo have been pals for years, with Swift even making a surprise appearance at one of Healy’s gigs earlier this year.

Neither Healy nor Swift has commented on the speculation, but that hasn’t stopped the rumour mill from going into overdrive in recent days.

Swift fans - or Swifties as they’re known - were quick to comment on the kiss on social media, with one writing: “Wow that was a bait and switch I didn't see coming.”

Another said: “The world isn’t ready for a Phoebe/Taylor polycule.”

While a third added: “Being a Swiftie is such a roller coaster this week.”

However, others pointed out that it appeared to be an innocent kiss on the cheek.

“Y’all it’s a kiss on the cheek. Swifties stop being dramatic for no reason challenge,” one said.

Interestingly, this isn’t the first time Swift and Healy have been linked.

Back in 2014, dating rumours claiming the musicians were dating took over the internet, however, Healy shot them down, saying they had met but that there was 'no like, relationship or anything happening'.

He also said he found it 'funny how people really, really buy into that'.

He also made some rather unusual comments about how it would be ‘emasculating’ to date Swift.

He told Q: "It’s not really anything to talk about, because if she wasn’t Taylor Swift we wouldn’t be talking about her.

"She wasn’t a big impact on my life. It’s just interesting to me how interested the world is about Taylor Swift.

"And the reason I mention that is because if I had gone out with Taylor Swift I would’ve been, 'F**king hell! I am NOT being Taylor Swift’s boyfriend.' You know, 'F**K. THAT.

"That’s also a man thing, a de-masculinating, emasculating thing."
