Shortly after her breakup with longtime lover Joe Alwyn was confirmed, Taylor was rumoured to be dating 1975 frontman, Matty Healy.
"She and Matty are madly in love," a source told The Sun early in the month.
"It's super early days, but it just feels right. They first dated, very briefly, almost ten years ago but the timings just didn't work out."
After being papped together on multiple occasions and even performing together across the month of May, it seems like their romance wasn't meant to last, a source confirming to Page Six that Taylor was single once more.
"Taylor and Matty broke up. They are both extremely busy and realised they're not really compatible with each other," the source explained.
"Taylor's friends want what's best for her and aren't shocked that their relationship fizzled out since she recently got out of a long-term relationship."
