Taylor Swift was all smiles as she left a recording studio with Matty Healy on Monday, January 12, 2024, in New York City. The 1975 frontman, 34, had his hand on the Grammy winner’s back as they exited the Electric Lady Studios in Greenwich Village1.
The pop superstar, 34, looked cozy in a purple NYU sweater, black mini skirt and beige sneakers, while Healy dressed casually in a black sweater and pants. The musicians were joined by several other stars at the studio, including Kendrick Lamar, Florence Welch, Margaret Qualley and Jack Antonoff — one of Swift’s longtime collaborators2.
Swift and Healy have been fueling romance rumors since they were spotted holding hands at Casa Cipriani, a members-only venue in NYC, on Thursday, January 113. Healy also attended all three of Swift’s Nashville shows for her Eras Tour earlier this month and even joined opening act Phoebe Bridgers on stage4.
A source recently told PEOPLE, “Taylor is happy. She’s very focused on her tour but is enjoying hanging out with Matty when she is off.” Another insider added, “They’re hanging out and having a good time. It’s not just platonic.”
Reps for Swift and Healy’s band have not responded to multiple requests for comment by PEOPLE.
The singers first sparked dating rumors back in 2014, though Healy denied the speculation months later, calling it “all fake.” Two years later he addressed the rumors again in an interview with Q magazine, acknowledging he and Swift had a “flirtation.”
Swift is currently re-recording her catalog prior to 2019’s Lover and is expected to release Reputation (Taylor’s Version) soon. She teased the album in her TIME Person of the Year cover story, describing it as “a goth-punk moment of female rage at being gaslit by an entire social structure.”
