1975Matty Healy is a provocateur, but if he provokes you, that’s your problem. His schtick was never discussed more after I became romantically involved with him Taylor Swift, and this is at least somewhat, by design. Says in a new profile for The New Yorker. Just don’t invest too much, because Hailey finds this idea ridiculous.
Healy told writer Gia Tolentino that Healy has been catching fans “a bit” with his controversial comments about Ice Spice. “But it doesn’t actually matter. No one sits there at night slouching in front of their computer, and their friend comes in and says, ‘What’s wrong with you, honey?’ And they go, ‘It’s just this thing with Matty Healy. ‘ It just doesn’t happen.”
These comments have been submitted before Swift and Hailey went public, so perhaps it’s now more aware that fans have slipped into their computers lamenting Matty Healy’s indiscretions. However, he thinks “either you’re being cheated or a liar, sorry” if that’s how you react to his provocations. “Either you’re lying because you’re hurt, or you’re a little rational for being hurt. It’s just that people go, ‘Oh, there’s something bad in there, let me get as close to it as possible so you can see how good I am.’ And I kind of want them to do that, because they show up. Something on that basic level,” he says.
In April, Healy declared that “the era of me being a fucking idiot is coming to an end”. However, he told Tontino that he had “spent my decade trying to be” politically correct. (This assertion may surprise in the long run Fans of the singer.) “I’m more interested in being really wrong, and people seeing it, and knowing what’s right because of it.” That’s one way to frame it!
