Halsey and Matty Healy have had a complicated relationship over the years. The two artists have been friends, collaborators, and rumored enemies at different points in their careers.
Did Matty Healy date Halsey?
In 2015, Halsey collaborated with The 1975 on the song “Ghost,” which was a big hit. However, shortly after the song’s release, rumors began circulating that Halsey and Matty Healy had a falling out. Halsey has never confirmed or denied these rumors, but she did say in a 2016 interview that she was “not friends” with The 1975 frontman.
In 2018, Halsey reignited the feud when she called out The 1975 for their “fake” activism in a since-deleted tweet. Despite all of this drama, it seems like Halsey and Matty Healy have finally buried the hatchet.
According to interviews, Halsey credits Matty with greatly influencing her writing. In an interview with Halsey, she discusses how the album is heavily influenced by her and Matty. The text messages that were frequently exchanged between her and Matty are referred to in the song.
They had a fantastic time during this time in Matty’s life, during which they began working on ILIWYS, so this period of his life was fantastic for the band.
