Taylor Swift Fans Ask Her To Get Away From Matty Healy

Taylor Swift fans have taken action against the singer’s involvement with Matty Healy. The lead singer of “The 1975” is accused of racism, prejudice and even doing a Nazi salute on stage and, therefore, the pop star’s followers cheer against the relationship between the two. The “Swifties” even wrote an open letter asking her to stay away from the singer.

“While individuals have the right to make their own choices and form relationships, we believe it is essential for those in the public eye to stand up against discrimination and hold themselves and their associates accountable… Remain silent about actions that perpetuate hatred and contribute to systemic oppression undermines the progress that has been made towards equality and understanding.”

Several controversial videos of Matty Healy went viral after the first rumors of the relationship with Taylor Swift emerged. According to the newspaper “Daily Mail”, the lead singer of “The 1975” ‘personified the Japanese who worked in concentration camps, belittled the Scottish indigenous language by confusing it with the Scottish accent and mocked the Hawaiian, Inuit and Chinese accents’, in an attempt to guess the heritage of Bronx rapper Ice Spice.

Healy came to justify himself in the face of the negative repercussions on Ice Spice. “I don’t want something like that to be misinterpreted to be mean,” he said during a show in New Zealand. “I don’t mind being a little playful (…) I don’t want to be seen as a crazy guy,” he said. But, Swift’s fans have not forgiven him and have taken to using the hashtag “#SpeakUpNow”, where they ask Taylor to reflect on her association with the rock star, due to her “actions [que] contribute to the perpetuation of hatred, stereotypes and objectification”.

Last Saturday (20), the singer performed in Foxborough, Massachusetts, United States, and made it clear that her relationship with Healy is going very well. “I feel like telling you that I’ve never been happier and in every aspect of my life. It’s not just the tour… My life finally seems to make sense,” she explained before performing her song “Question…?” of his new album, “Midnights”.

Taylor went through a split earlier this year when she ended her six-year relationship with Joe Alwyn. She and Matty were seen together a few weeks later and the frequency has reportedly increased a lot lately. He has even been spotted at several shows on the singer’s current tour.
