Swift began dating the frontman of The 1975 just a month after her split with Alwyn. Once their relationship went public, immediate backlash arose due to Healy’s controversial reputation. The “Swiftie” fanbase began to share their disappointment that Swift would involve herself with someone as disrespectful as Healy. A valuable source explains that the breakup occurred because “they are both extremely busy and realized they’re not really compatible with each other,” according to Entertainment Tonight.
Healy has been under fire for racially insensitive comments he has made during his time as a guest on The Adam Friedland Show podcast. The podcast hosts and Healy shared a laugh as they spoke about the famous rapper Ice Spice in a negative and racist way. Afterward, Healy and the members imitated Chinese, Hawaiian, and Japanese accents. Then, Healy recalled a time when he watched pornography from Gh***o G***ers. This company is known for highlighting and romanticizing the brutalization and mistreatment of women of color. Healy having spoken about his engagement with a company that has a negative reputation, upset many viewers. This episode was stripped from all media and podcast platforms as a result of the backlash.

Swift’s recent collaboration with Ice Spice has begun a new wave of frustration among fans, given her connection with Healy. Ice Spice joined Swift on stage during her Eras tour in New Jersey to perform their new remix of “Karma.”
Despite fans’ excitement for the iconic collaboration between the two musicians, many were left confused after Swift had not commented on the issue between Ice Spice and Healy. There is speculation that this collaboration is a premeditated PR move, while others believe that this partnership has been in the works for some time now.
