Following the release of Swift’s 11th album on Friday, April 19, a clip of Healy, 35, addressing the audience during The 1975’s October 2023 concert in St. Louis has resurfaced. “Well this hurts to watch now,” one X user wrote alongside the video.

In the footage, Healy can be seen introducing the band’s 2016 hit “Somebody Else.”

“And you listen to them, but you think, ‘You don’t really understand what our love was like.’ “That was a special love, that was something special,” he says and jokes: “Don’t be stupid. Get over it, come on.”

The concert took place four months later Us weekly confirmed Healy’s split from Swift, 34. (After their St. Louis show, The 1975 performed in Kansas City, home of Swift’s current boyfriend, Travis Kelce.)

Healy and Swift first started dating in 2014 and got back together after their split almost a decade later Joe Alwyn made headlines in spring 2023. When Swift announced TTPD In February, fans were quick to assume that the new songs would detail the end of her six-year romance with 33-year-old Alwyn, but were shocked to find more lyrics about Healy throughout the album’s 31 songs.

Regular listeners of “Swift” and “The 1975” even found some lyrical parallels on the record. The song “Imgonnagetyouback” is stylized similarly to The 1975’s “Fallingforyou” from their 2013 debut album. Swift’s song is about destroying an ex’s bike or taking him “back to my house,” both of which are in the ballad by The 1975 is mentioned.

“Say you got someone, and I say, ‘I got someone too,'” Swift sings. (In The 1975’s “Somebody Else,” Healy confesses, “I don’t want your body, but I hate thinking about you with anyone else.”)

Before the album explored the couple’s rocky history, Healy was given a heads up. “He feared her story would be put in a negative light,” a source said exclusively Us the following TTPD‘s debut, adding that despite their split, Healy was “very grateful” for Swift and “still thinks highly of him.”

Swift and Healy “don’t talk anymore” but “had a strong bond,” the insider said Usadded: “Their relationship was quick but extremely passionate and genuine.”
