Matty Healy spoke out about the fan support following his breakup from Taylor Swift.

“[People] in the front had some very beautiful signs that said, ‘You are loved.’ That was very, very kind,” the 1975 frontman, 34, gushed during his Monday, June 5, concert in Vienna, per social media footage. “I’m sure that it’s alluding to … as you’re aware, I’m not very online at the moment, and I’m sure people have just been calling me a c–t relentlessly.”

Healy has been off of social media lately and found solace with his bandmates, Ross MacDonald, George Daniel, and Adam Hann.

“Honestly, as much as I appreciate that, it’s so beautiful and I thank you, but I don’t need it,” he said on Monday. “Because I’ve got them.”

What’s Trending confirmed the breakup between the two stars as of late when the Grammy winner and 1975 frontman called it quits.

“Taylor and Matt are no longer romantically involved,” a source exclusively told What’s Trending. “They had fun together, but it was never serious.”

The two were first spotted together when an article from the Sun debuted in May, just one month after her split from longtime partner Joe Alywn. Healy attended quite a few concerts of the Eras Tour in Nashville and Philadelphia.

One source also claimed the couple kissed backstage.

Swift let audience members in on some of the romance it seems with her performances.

“I kind of feel like telling you, I don’t know, I’ve just never been this happy in my life in all aspects of my life ever before,” the “Lavender Haze” singer stated. “And I just want to thank you for being a part of that.”

Swift also mentioned, “It’s not just the tour. I just sort of feel like my life finally feels like it makes sense.”

Swift has not made any public comments on the relationship with Healy, but an insider told Us Weekly that her pals are “not surprised” the pair went separate ways.

“She wasn’t ready for another serious relationship just yet,” the source added.

The 1975 also switched up part of their tracklist during a recent show. The band added song “102”, one that is an emotional love song.

“Said, ‘Well I, l like the look of your shoes, I like the way that your face looks when I’m arguing with you,” Healy mentions.

He also goes on to sing in the track “And so when, when we all grow old / I hope this song will remind you I’m not half as bad as what you’ve been told.”

Taylor Swift and her reps have not commented on the relationship.
