Matty Healy’s recent social media post has reignited discussions about his connection to Taylor Swift’s music. Fans are speculating that Swift’s song Guilty as Sin from her album The Tortured Poets Department is about their rumoured relationship. The song opens with the lyrics referencing The Downtown Lights by The Blue Nile, a band which Matty has publicly admired.
Adding fuel to the theory, Healy recently shared Annie Lennox’s cover of the song on his Instagram story, saying, “If you don’t know this cover, you are welcome.”
Fans quickly connected the dots between Matty Healy’s post and the song’s lyrics. However, Healy later shared a cryptic comment on X (formerly Twitter) through an account believed to be his. He wrote, “I think I sent my last Uber driver ‘The Downtown Lights.’ He didn’t think it was ‘coded.’ He is employed tho.” This remark was interpreted as a subtle dig at fans for reading too much into the song’s meaning, sparking further debate online.
