As seen in a TikTok video, Healy had sworn off kissing fans early in January, mainly because he was in the presence of “the queen,” Swift. The singer announced to his audience that he would not be kissing any of them because Swift, who later took the stage for a brief performance, was in attendance.
Healy said at the time, “I’m not kissing anybody in front of Taylor Swift, have some respect. In front of the queen, it’s not happening.”
Taylor Swift Came Under Fire For Dating Matty Healy
Swift became the subject of controversy in recent months due to her association and rumored relationship with Healy, who had been accused of being racist and sexist.
Healy’s many controversial actions were brought to light due to the much talked about relationship with Swift, with some fans calling out the “Out of the Woods” singer for getting involved with him despite the several instances of Healy being insensitive and crude.
Among the many scathing revelations about Healy, he reportedly called American rapper Ice Spice “one of the Innuit Spice girls” and a “chubby Chinese lady,” per Buzz Feed.
Things took a turn for the worse when Swift announced a collaboration with Ice Spice amid her relationship with Healy. Many fans saw the move as calculating and an attempt to help absolve her boyfriend of his sins.
Besides his racist jabs at Ice Spice, Healy was also accused of being an anti-semite after a video clip of him throwing the Nazi salute at a performance surfaced amid his relationship with Swift. In the video, Healy sings, “Thank you, Kanye, very cool,” as he marches and raises his hand up in a similar style as a Nazi salute.
Speaking on his Nazi hand sign, Healy claimed at the time that it was satire and his way of calling out people for being Nazis.
Matty Healy Calls His Critics ‘Deluded’
The singer recently commented on the backlash he has received from fans, calling them “deluded” and “a bit mental” as his actions are all a joke meant to bait people.
Healy said of his critics to The New Yorker, “But it doesn’t actually matter. Nobody is sitting there at night slumped at their computer, and their boyfriend comes over and goes, ‘What’s wrong, darling?’ and they go, ‘It’s just this thing with Matty Healy.’ That doesn’t happen.”
He continued, “If it does, you’re either deluded or you are, sorry, a liar. You’re either lying that you are hurt, or you’re a bit mental for being hurt. It’s just people going, ‘Oh, there’s a bad thing over there, let me get as close to it as possible so you can see how good I am.'”
Healy added, “And I kind of want them to do that, because they’re demonstrating something so base level.”
