Matty Healy seems to be on the road to healing after reportedly calling it quits with Taylor Swift.
The "All Too Well (Taylor's Version) (10 Minute Version)" was briefly linked with the 1975 frontman after her split with "Conversations With Friends" actor Joe Alwyn. The duo were together for six years.
Although the former couple never formally addressed their controversial romance, the cat may slowly emerge from the bag!
A video of Healy, 34, thanking an audience member for their uplifting sign at a recent 1975 show has surfaced via Twitter, and fans seem to think Healy might be alluding to his split with Swift, 33.

Swift and Healy's short-lived romance was met with much criticism from Swift's passionate fanbase of 'Swifties.'
The "Last Kiss" singer was repeatedly called out on social media for her association with Healy, who has recently made headlines for problematic behavior. She was also criticized for her recent collaboration with Ice Spice, who had been the target of Healy's racially insensitive statements in a podcast interview.
Insiders within the duo's camp would speak out against the fanfare surrounding their casual relationship, which had reportedly been described as "fun" among "people who know" Swift in person.
An unknown source affiliated with Swift shared with Page Six, "Everyone who knows her has been saying all along that this was a fun, good thing that would last as long as it was meant to last and would be no big deal once it's done. She will not be writing songs about this one," they continued. "It was a summertime thing. Does everyone have amnesia about Tom Hiddleston? Jesus Christ." (per The Blast)
A source reportedly told Entertainment Tonight about their split, "They are both swamped and realize they are not compatible with each other. Taylor's friends want what's best for her and aren't shocked that their relationship fizzled out since she just got out of a long-term relationship." (per The Blast)

The effects of their recent fling seemed to linger in the air at a recent 1975 show.
Fan video captured Healy on stage addressing a sign made by another fan off-camera.
In the 35-second clip, Healy began, "The front has some wonderful signs that said 'You are loved.' That was very, very kind of you. I'm sure it's alluding to... as you're aware, I'm not very online at the moment, and I'm sure people are just calling me a c**t relentlessly, and I've not been online. But what I have been with is with my boys," he continues, seemingly gesturing to the other members. "Honestly, as much as I appreciate that, it's so beautiful, and I thank you, but I don't need it 'cause I've got them," he concluded, as the audience is heard cheering.
Fans weighed in on the video in the thread's comments.
"being on stan Twitter recently was hell, and I'm just glad he's surrounded by love right now," a fan commented.
"At least he's being taken care of by his boys and fans," another chimed in. "He is so loved, and this whole thing will turn into a positive for him, don't [sic] look like it now, but it will."
The same fan continued, "He will be AOK... and this confirms the break-up, in my opinion. He should never give that mess a third chance; third time is not a charm this time!"
Swift is reportedly on the path to moving on as well! She was allegedly seen getting cozy with Los Angeles Lakers basketball player Austin Reaves recently. (per The Blast)
