Taylor Swift’s latest music video for her collaboration with Post Malone, “Fortnight,” has sparked speculation among fans about references to her ex, Matty Healy. The black and white visuals, reminiscent of Healy’s own music videos, and the similar wardrobe choices have fans buzzing about the potential connection.
In one scene, both Swift and Malone are seen wearing long black coats with pants and loafers, a look similar to Healy’s band, The 1975. Additionally, Swift is shown being experimented on while strapped to a box that resembles the band’s logo, further fueling the speculation.
Fans have also pointed out that Malone and actors Ethan Hawke and Josh Charles don lab coats and glasses in the video, a nod to The 1975’s signature look during their 2022 tour. The inclusion of a black dog in the video has also been noted as a possible reference to the band’s song “Part of the Band.”
While some believe these similarities are intentional references to Healy, others speculate that Swift may simply be playing up her track “The Black Dog,” named after a bar. Regardless, the parallels between “Fortnight” and The 1975’s visuals have certainly caught the attention of fans and sparked conversations about the potential connections between Swift and her ex.
