Matty Healy’s Wedding Buzz and the Taylor Swift Headlines

What’s Happening With Matty Healy Right Now?

Matty Healy is getting ready to marry his fiancée, Gabbriette Bechtel. But just when everyone should be talking about the wedding, a new tabloid story brought back talk about his short past relationship with Taylor Swift.

Here’s the simple version:

• Matty is the lead singer of a band called The 1975.
• He is about to get married to Gabbriette.
• A gossip newspaper (the Daily Mail) says Taylor Swift is still “hanging over” the wedding like a distraction.
• This all comes right after Matty had his bachelor party (a party for the groom before the wedding).

The Bachelor and Bachelorette Parties

Before the wedding, both Matty and Gabbriette had fun pre-wedding celebrations.

Matty’s Bachelor Party

• Matty celebrated in Malibu.
• He performed with a tribute band (a band that plays another band’s songs) called The 9075.
• They played songs by his own group, The 1975.
• Videos showed him wearing a wig like his old look, dancing, and even crowd-surfing (letting the crowd hold him up).
• His bandmate George Daniel, who is married to singer Charli XCX, was there too.

Gabbriette’s Bachelorette Party

• Gabbriette partied in Las Vegas in June.
• TMZ said it started with a fake arrest: she was jokingly handcuffed and carried onto a private jet.
• She wore vintage Chanel clothes.
• The theme was theatrical Vegas: pink decorations, playing-card details, fake money, champagne, and bridal-party styling.

A Report Claims Taylor Swift Still Hangs Over the Wedding

The Daily Mail described Taylor Swift as a continuing “problem” around Matty’s wedding. They say this is because:

• People still pay attention to Matty and Taylor’s short romance.
• Taylor’s 2024 album, The Tortured Poets Department, has songs many believe are about Matty.

The tabloid’s promo post quoted a source saying:

• Matty “really did love her” (Taylor).
• Matty’s mom, Denise Welch, did not like how the relationship and its aftermath affected him.

Important Point: The Daily Mail is a tabloid (a gossip-focused newspaper), so these claims come from a source they quoted, not confirmed facts from Matty himself.

A Quick Look at the Matty–Taylor Timeline

Healy and Swift were linked as a couple in spring 2023 after being friends and working in similar music circles for years.

• Their relationship ended in June 2023.
• It lasted a short time but got a lot of public attention.
• Later, Matty said he didn’t want to write publicly about casual romances anymore because he didn’t want his personal life to become entertainment.

Denise Welch Previously Called the Swift Period “Tricky”

Matty’s mom, Denise Welch, talked about the Taylor Swift chapter in July 2025 on a show called Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.

What she said:

1. She joked that being Taylor Swift’s mother-in-law was a role she was “glad to have lost” — the audience reacted loudly.
2. She quickly added she has nothing against Taylor personally.
3. She called the situation “tricky.”
4. She said Matty handled the attention with dignity, even with songs on The Tortured Poets Department believed to be about him.

Denise has been much clearer about liking Gabbriette:

• On Loose Women in 2024, she confirmed the engagement.
• She said Matty had a black diamond ring made.
• She called Gabbriette “everything she would want in a daughter-in-law.”
• She said the family “couldn’t be happier.”
