Is Matty Healy Really Engaged? Because Swifties Are Detecting Shade

Are Matty Healy and Gabbriette Bechtel engaged? Are they trolling Taylor Swift? Both? Neither? Bechtel posted a photo to her Instagram Stories implying that she and the frontman of The 1975 are getting married, and the whole thing is rather mysterious and shady—especially if you’re a Swifty.

Let me give you some context. You probably already know about Healy and Swift’s short-lived romance in the spring of 2023. Sometime after they broke up, Healy started dating Bechtel, who is friends with Charli XCX, who is engaged to Healy’s bandmate George Daniel and has a new album titled Brat. Keeping up so far?

On June 11, Matty Healy and Gabbriette Bechtel were spotted at a Charli XCX concert in New York City, per Vulture. That night, Bechtel posted to her IG stories with a picture of her left hand sporting a black ring on an unidentified, sheer black tights-clad bottom. “Marrying The 1975 is very brat,” the text read in green.
