Taylor Swift's Paris Eras Tour Performance Seemingly Referenced Matty Healy

As Taylor Swift kicked off the highly-anticipated second leg of her Eras tour in Paris, Swifties were back on Easter egg duty. After the Thursday, April 9 performance, which included Swift’s first-ever inclusion of The Tortured Poet’s Department on the Eras tour, fans headed to social media to dissect clues from the show that they think reference the “Karma” singer’s ex, Matty Healy. In addition to theorizing that Swift subtly shaded the 1975 frontman with her choreography, viewers were convinced that she confirmed the widely-circulated theory that “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived” is about her short-lived fling with the British musician.

In addition to donning a revamped version of her signature pink Eras tour bodysuit, the “Down Bad” singer cut some songs from her set list (“Tolerate It” and “The 1” were some of the singles that got the chop) to make way for new The Tortured Poet’s Department music. The Eras Tour’s new TTPD segment included a sweet shout-out to her boyfriend Travis Kelce with the inclusion of “So High School” and a number of tracks that are rumored to be about Healy, including “But Daddy I Love Him,” “Down Bad,”and “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived.” During the later – a diss track who calls out an ex-lover in a “Jehovah's Witness suit” who ghosted her – Swift donned a white military-style jacket over her white dress as she performed choreography that seemed eerily similar to the moves Healy often does during his own performances.

Right before the chorus, the “Fortnight” singer began marching and saluting the crowd, which  eagle-eyed fans argued was almost identical to what Healy did during a performance of “Love It If We Made It.”

During her Paris performance, Swift also revealed that she’d planned to debut TTPD at the show months earlier, per People.

Addressing the sold-out crowd, she said, “So Paris is the very first city to ever see the new TTPD chapter of the Eras tour. I have to tell you, it has been so rewarding playing it for you because we started planning this surprise for you about eight or nine months ago.”

Thanking her crew, dancers, and band, she continued, “When we got two months off of the Eras tour, we really didn’t take any time off at all, we just went directly back into rehearsal."

Only time will tell whether Swift adds additional TTPD tracks to her future Eras tour performances, but Swifties will be keeping their eyes peeled for any potential clues about who her latest songs are about.
