Don’t worry about Matty Healy, he’s been hanging with “my boys”
Healy briefly addressed his break-up with Taylor Swift at a recent The 1975 concert
Aux News Matty Healy
The various romantic speedbumps of Taylor Swift’s life can have strange and widespread affects on the world—not least of which because they tend to generate new music that moves quite a bit of money into various people’s pockets. But they also, obviously, have a personal dimension, something The 1975's Matty Healy has understandably been faced with after he and Swift broke off a short-lived romance earlier this month.
But don’t be worried, The 1975 fans: The band’s lead singer is doing okay in the aftermath, announcing to a crowd—as reported by Entertainment Tonight—that he’s been safely ensconced in the welcoming arms of “my boys” in the aftermath of the break-up.
Specifically, Healy was responding to signs being held up at a recent The 1975 show, which assured him that, despite the dissolution of his and Swift’s relationship—which came not long after she broke up with Joe Alwyn, her partner of several years—”You are loved.”
Healy noted that that was presumably a reference to his romantic travails, saying “I’m not very online at the moment,” and suggesting that people on the internet have presumably been calling him a word that ET stylized as “c*nt,” which presumably stands for “cool guy who has just ended a short relationship with one of the most famous women in all of entertainment.”
But do not fear, Healy fans: The experts have the matter in hand. “I’ve not been online,” Healy told the crowd “But what I have been with is my boys. And honestly, as much as I appreciate that,” he said, referencing the “You are loved” sign, “it’s so beautiful, and I thank you. But I don’t need it, because I’ve got them.” (Healy then did not break into an impromptu rendition of Deniece Williams’ “Let’s Hear It For The Boy,” because we are not yet the screenwriters of all reality.)

It’s okay. I wasn’t.
Can you imagine – this is a whole article. 4 paragraphs to say he read a sign and said “I’m good, I’m hanging with my boys”… and someone thinks this is newsworthy
Even Taylor’s castoffs get to bask in the rippling wake of her truly enormous star-power!
All hail the great and powerful Swift! It is proper to praise her! With great praise!I mean, whatever happened to that Jake kid? You don’t hear shit from him anymore.
Well, it’s the AVC, so I’m guessing it’s meant to be “snarky”. In other words, the tone is meant to be mocking of Healy for apparently taking the break up well. ‘Course, the execution is shithouse.
Anything Taylor Swift-adjacent is newsworthy. Not to me, obviously, but to people.
What might be newsworthy is an accounting of the many, many hours that T. Swift’s legal and marketing teams spent weighing the pros and cons of this relationship.As soon as there was a public backlash, they did the math on revenue lost and began to “sunset” this relationship.
Even for this site, who gives a shit?
He clicked, read, and commented. Must not care.
We have a giant hardon for Matt Healy!-The AVClub.com
Matty. I think he prefers Matty.
Is that what the kids call it these days?
Look at that photo! He’s just so appealing!
I’m assuming that in this case, “the boys” refers to Adam Friedland and Nick Mullen.
The boys:

Or even
“…not least of which because they tend to generate new music that moves quite a bit of money into various people’s pockets.”I look forward to her forthcoming song about Healy, “Who? Oh yeah.”
I KNOW that he was a rebound relationship, but seriously, the photo at the top could have been found in the dictionary under “Rebound Boyfriend.”
Whenever I hear someone talk about “my boys,” I automatically now think of Klaus from American Dad.
